MHA #2 | Friday Morning

[defenderofdesmoines]

So, with all the excitement, this had absolutely been one of the most memorable weeks of Annie's life.

It had, also, notably, been weirdly...inactive, in other ways. In, specifically, a way in which she was usually pretty active these days.

There had been the whole flaming-hot apartment/freezing-cold shower issue on Tuesday, the whole jello shot issue on Wednesday, and between life and training and packing (yes, the new place was furnished but what if she needed something?), she and Diego had been sort of...missing each other.

Which was why Friday morning, when Annie sleepily meandered into the bathroom and turned on the shower -- and the water came out pleasantly warm, as it should, thank you -- it only took her a moment to get an idea.

"Hey, Diego?" She ducked her head out of the bathroom, pulling a towel around herself loosely. "Can you come here?"

Her tone, at least, was very much not one of distress, so hopefully he wouldn't, like, feel the need to come running. (Unless he did. Seriously, it had been since before the kids got here. That was like centuries in sex time.)

[for someone(s).]

Diego had been awake, just lounging around in bed. He had also been extremely aware of how long it had been since they had sex, but with all the excitement this week he was too busy to completely lose his mind over it. He was only slightly losing his mind over it.

"If there's something weird coming out of that shower, I'm moving," Diego said, getting out of bed and heading towards the bathroom.

[defenderofdesmoines]

"Just, like, warm water. For like, multiple minutes in a row and everything," Annie shared, raising her eyebrows at him with a little smile as she leaned in the bathroom doorway and idly played with the edges of the towel she had around herself. "Maybe we could pick up where we left off the other day?"

Granted, she could get back in bed with him, too, but she'd been promised shower sex, goddammit, and if the stars were actually aligning to make that happen....

[knife_bender]

Oh. Diego moved closer, reaching out to pull the towel off since it wasn't going to be necessary right now. "That is the best idea I've ever heard."

[defenderofdesmoines]

"Well, I'm very smart," Annie assured him, letting him go ahead and take that towel as she leaned up to kiss him, her hands going to pull his shirt off, too, since he obviously wouldn't need his clothes.

Smart was maybe not the thing really in play, here.

[knife_bender]

Smart, horny, same thing.

Diego lifted up his arms to help with the shirt removal thing. The bathroom was starting to steam up, which was a good sign that they weren't about to experience an involuntary polar bear plunge again.

[defenderofdesmoines]

Yeah, Annie was maybe letting the water run to make a point, because like, psychologically, the steam was helping. She pushed Diego's shirt off and tossed it aside, pressing close as she slipped a hand between them to get his pants off, too. "I've missed you, this week," she added. "Maybe, like, after class we can get back in bed for awhile?"

For like, the day? That had worked out a few Fridays ago.

[knife_bender]

"I'd like that," he said, kissing her again. He pulled off his shorts, being even more careful than usual not to fall. Last thing they needed was injuries preventing this from happening.

[defenderofdesmoines]

Annie reached a hand into the shower, because seriously, could not be too careful after last time.

"Still hot," she said, obviously grateful for that as she gingerly stepped into the shower and reached for Diego's hand to bring him with her.

(Like he wasn't gonna follow anyway but look, she was also just feeling kind of clingy between the weird lack of sex and the fact she was moving in like three days.)

[knife_bender]

Oh, no way Diego was not going to follow. He was very grateful the water was hot, but he didn't focus on that for long, instead pressing Annie against the shower wall for another kiss.

[defenderofdesmoines]

The water was mostly just like, a bonus, because yes hello getting pressed against the wall, that was exactly what Annie had been after.

She slid her arms up to wrap around Diego's neeck, not really wanting to take her time with this -- it had been, like, a week. She was dying, here. They could take their time in bed all day, later.

[knife_bender]

They could take their time later. It had been like forever, rushing was fine. He slid his hands up her waist, enjoying the feel of the water against her skin.

If an earthquake or something happened interrupted them right now he might actually cry.

[defenderofdesmoines]

Annie would also cry. Though, honestly, they could probably keep going through an earthquake, right? They were, like, really determined. It would take something more than some dumb natural disaster to get in the middle of this.

Annie was already wrapping one leg up around Diego as she deepened the kiss, grateful that by now she was definitely used enough to this to have the balancing act down pat.

[apocalypsehow]

"Diego! Where's your coffee creamer?" Five asked, slamming the bathroom door open, heedless of a shower happening.

Because this was a sibling thing.

[knife_bender]

"Jesus fucking--" Diego jumped, throwing his hand out to catch himself on the wall so he didn't fall and take Annie down with him. "Five, get out!"

Also he drank his coffee black, like his soul.

[defenderofdesmoines]

"Oh my God!"

Well, that was...worse than an earthquake, yes. Way to tempt fate, narrative. "Are you fucking --"

Unfortunately, Annie was by far the less agile of the two of them, and did not get a hand out on the wall. However, she was basically indestructible, so at least she didn't hurt herself when she lost her balance and fell.

[apocalypsehow]

"Annie," he said in a dry greeting. "Answer the question, Diego."

[knife_bender]

"OUT!" Diego yelled, reaching down to help Annie up. Annie, he loved you, but grace was not your forte.

[defenderofdesmoines]

"I'm gonna kill him. Tell me not to kill him," Annie said wildly, accepting the help up even as her eyes were illuminating. "Get the hell out, Five!"

Was this a normal sibling thing? What kind of other fun invasions of privacy had Annie missed out on by being an only child all this time?

[apocalypsehow]

Little bit of being a sibling thing, little being Five.

Five sighed and teleported out, leaving that door open. You know. Helpfully.

[knife_bender]

"I'm going to kill him," Diego said, getting out of the shower once he was sure Annie was stable.

You were lucky he thought to grab a towel before leaving the bathroom to yell at you, Five.

[defenderofdesmoines]

Annie, meanwhile, was kind of torn between considering a towel sufficient for yelling versus going to put on as many layers as she could. (Oh God, what had Five seen?)

She was at least going to start with the towel for now, taking a moment to make sure it was really secure since she was, you know, planning on killing her boyfriend's brother while wearing it and all. There would probably be some movement involved.

[apocalypsehow]

Five was pouring himself a cup of coffee from the new, non-destroyed coffee maker. As one does.

[knife_bender]

"No, you don't get to drink my coffee!" Diego yelled. "What the hell is wrong with you?"

Aside from, you know, the childhood stuff that was also wrong with Diego.

[defenderofdesmoines]

"I will blast that cup right out of your fucking hand, so help me," Annie added, just this side of hysterical.

Annie, getting all yellow-eyed and threatening works better (a) when you're not in a towel and (b) on people who can't just teleport away from you.

[apocalypsehow]

"I'm sorry, was I supposed to know you were in the shower together?" Because that was a step too far.
