Vought Tower | Wednesday Afternoon

[knife_bender]

After one night of not sleeping, Diego had headed to New York to see if maybe a change of scenery would help with the issue. Turns out, it did. He had no reason to go back to Fandom anytime soon, so he decided to make himself comfortable. Here he had sleep and, now that people knew who he was, had free reign to use the tower's amenities.

Which mostly meant the gym. Usually when Annie was working he'd spend most of his time in there, and leave abruptly when a non-Maeve shaped person from the Seven came in. Today it was A-Train that cut his workout short. He hated that guy.

"You back yet?" Diego called out as he opened the door to Annie's apartment.

[For one!]

Diego was absolutely not hiding the fact that he was taking in the view. That was the point of showering together, right?

"I did like those. A lot," he said. "But those didn't necessarily need to be removed to engage in certain activities."

[defenderofdesmoines]

"Look at you, thinking of everything like a genius," Annie asked with a soft laugh, doing a bit of unsubtle spectating herself. "I have to admit, if we have the time it seems kind of like a shame not to seize the opportunity."

And if they got stuck there for longer -- well. If they got stuck in a time without TV or whatever, they'd have to entertain themselves somehow.

(Was that why people had so many kids in olden times?)

[knife_bender]

Diego laughed. "What, have sex in the past? I mean, we absolutely have to."

[defenderofdesmoines]

"You say that like it's a given," Annie pointed out, laughing more. "Like, Diego, ideally we're going to have all your siblings around. Five at least."

And was there anything in the world more mood-killing than the presence of Five Hargreeves?

"We'll have to be sneaky." There you go, Diego. There was your influence on Annie, even more than any ambient dickishness.

[knife_bender]

"Like in Hawaii?" he asked, moving a bit closer to her.

[defenderofdesmoines]

"Sneakier," Annie replied, reaching up to lightly skim a hand along his shoulder. "That was quiet, but at least we had a bed."

Annie was not counting on there being a bed in the past. It'd be nice, but she wasn't holding her breath.

[knife_bender]

"Oh, so like pawn shop quiet?" Which was not quiet at all.

[defenderofdesmoines]

"We were not quiet in the pawn shop," Annie said, and while the steam and hot water had already pinkened her skin, there was definitely more of that happening now. "Also I'm gonna petition for somewhere a little less gross, if we can."

Pawn shop would always win for the grossest place they'd had sex, probably.

[knife_bender]

"What if we're like in medieval times?" he asked, moving to put his arms around her waist. Oh no, they were mixing the masculine and feminine soaps, that was illegal or something.

[defenderofdesmoines]

"Then we'll do it in a castle," Annie replied, tilting her head up to press a kiss to the underside of his jaw. "I've seen movies. Probably lots of private places to hook up in a castle."

[knife_bender]

"Might be drafty, but we'll make it work," he said, tilting his neck towards hers. "In between all the sibling saving and everything, of course."

[defenderofdesmoines]

"That's what I'm saying." Saying muffledly at the moment, because there was a neck being presented to her and Annie had to kiss it. "But sex in the past is priority number two after finding everyone."

But what if one of you has a grievous injury the first time you have an opportunity, Annie? Would the priorities change at all then?

[knife_bender]

Diego would absolutely think the priorities would change. Especially if one of them had been separated from the other for three months.

"Now I want this theory to work even more," he murmured, sliding his hands up her sides.

[defenderofdesmoines]

"This does seem to be a benefit to having me come along," Annie replied, a smile in her voice as she bit the base of Diego's neck lightly and pressed closer. "I wonder if my eyes'll light up still if we're in medieval times and there's no power."

More importantly: what if you're in medieval times and there's no power and you can't use your powers, Annie? But no, no, questions about orgasms first, always.

[knife_bender]

Diego let out a sigh, both at the bite and the thought of that. "Another science experiment for us."

[defenderofdesmoines]

"How's your research on my shower going, Mr. Scientist?" Annie asked, lightly resting her hands on his chest. "Oh, sorry, it's probably Dr. Scientist."

[knife_bender]

"Dr. Scientist, PHD," he said with a grin. "The shower is very spacious and I'm impressed the hot water isn't gone yet."

[defenderofdesmoines]

"I'm pretty sure we could let this go all night and we won't run it out," Annie said confidently, slipping her arms around him and pressing a kiss to his shoulder. "These are very scientific observations. Do you need to go write them down? I don't want you to forget."

[knife_bender]

"No, I think I'll be able to remember," he said. "Besides, we're not clean yet."

[defenderofdesmoines]

"You seem really focused on that," Annie teased. She went ahead and proved that she was just as distracted, between all the nudity right here in front of her and what her imagination was doing with the prompt, 'What if you could have sex during in any historical period,' by leaning up to kiss him again.

[knife_bender]

Oh he could totally focus on the getting clean thing. While also kissing Annie. He proved that by sliding one of his hands over her chest, cupping her breast. For cleaning reasons.

[defenderofdesmoines]

Annie hummed appreciatively -- appreciative of all the cleaning he was helping with, of course -- and arched up into his hand.

The way she dug her nails in against his back had nothing to do with getting clean, though. Annie wouldn't even lie and pretend it did.

[knife_bender]

"See?" he murmured, ducking his head down to nip at her jaw. "I'm helping."

[defenderofdesmoines]

"You're so helpful I might need you to shower with me all the time," Annie replied softly, tipping her head and breathing out a sigh.

[knife_bender]

"I would never say no to that," he said, shifting some to nudge one of his legs between hers. "You might be having extra long showers though."
