MHA #2 | Wednesday Afternoon

You know those little cardboard disks at the bottom of frozen pizzas? Turns out you were supposed to throw away that part before putting it in the oven. As Annie and Diego discovered, it can catch on fire.

See this is what happened when they didn't just stick to protein shakes and/or Danny didn't feed them.

Diego's apartment was still in tact, luckily, it just smelled vaguely of smoke, burnt pizza and cardboard. Which was why all of the windows were open despite it being freezing out. Diego didn't mind too much though, they had a pizza delivered--which they should have done in the first place--and now were cuddled up on the couch under some blankets.

All in all making the best of a bad (or stupid) situation.

"With me," Annie pleaded, too desperate to be a request. She wasn't going to be able to delay the inevitable - especially with the addition of his hand, which, like, she really appreciated given how sensitive she was - but she was doing everything she could to prolong this enough to ensure he was there, too. "I want - come with me -"

And - like, fuck, that was it. It was a good thing Diego liked when she got rough with him, because while she did manage to keep fairly quiet, Annie wasn't holding back at all by the time her eyes illuminated and she shuddered under him. Her hand went tight against his scalp, and he was probably going to have some interesting bruises along his back - and Annie would apologize and kiss each and every one, once she could breathe again.

Annie clung tightly to him, still trying to catch her breath for a long, long moment after. It seemed impossible that they kept getting better at this but, like, they absolutely kept getting better at this. Between how comfortable she'd gotten (Bruises! Words!) and how connected she felt to Diego even when they weren't doing this, every time was something special. Even couch sex with all the windows open and eau de burned cardboard lingering in the air was still pretty mind-blowing.

Though, speaking of those open windows, Annie did find the presence of mind to wind one foot vaguely down the couch to kick up the discarded blanket so she could lazily reach for it. It had gotten a little lost in the shuffle of all that couch-moving, and Annie was just going to vaguely drape it over Diego's back so they didn't freeze, and then firmly wrap her arms up around him lest he get any ideas about moving away yet.

Annie dotted soft kisses along his cheek and the side of his head, nuzzling wherever she could reach without moving very much since she wasn't really able to, yet.

"Think you moved the couch." She'd finally noticed! And she was going to give him all the credit there, yes, because that was actually pretty hot.
defenderofdesmoines: (annie - you're (secretly) cute)

Annie gave a happy little hum, her cheeks heating a little at the reminder. "I did," she agreed, sighing as she trailed a hand lightly along his back. "And look at that follow-through."
defenderofdesmoines: (annie - small smile)

"I've had similar thoughts," Annie shared, laughing softly. "Your back's probably a mess, though."

And look at her not apologize, though she did shift around a little to kiss the hickey she'd left on his chest
defenderofdesmoines: (annie - you're pretty cool)

"I like you," Annie replied in a similarly shocking twist, kissing him again. "And I'm glad you can handle it when I show you how much."

Aww, way to try to make sex bruises romantic, Annie.
defenderofdesmoines: (annie - you make me happy)

Annie smiled, not even resisting the warm, fluttery feeling that hearing that gave her. It still wasn't the right moment - like, please, this was still way too sex-adjacent to be appropriate for a first-time declaration like the one she wanted to make - but hearing things like that just gave her more confidence that it would go well whenever she did tell him.

"I can tell," she assured him lightly. "But keep trying, anyway. I can still feel it like you do."
defenderofdesmoines: (annie - just me)

"Good," Annie said with another happy sigh, and now that she had her bearings a little more, she reached up to tuck the blanket around him a little better. "Are you, like, freezing?"

Annie was fine, but Annie also had a whole Diego on her to keep her warm, so.

"You say the word, and I'll use my hands," she assured him, smiling as she snuggled closer and pressed a kiss to his jaw. "Not like how I just did. You know what I mean."

At some point they would have to move, probably, but it just seemed less and less appealing by the second, honestly.
