Elliot's Apartment, Dallas, 1963 | Early, early morning

Was it a good thing that Annie now had so much experience cauterizing wounds that it hadn't taken her much time at all to get the skin on Diego's abdomen fused back together? For right now, it felt like good thing, at least. To her surprise and concern, he hadn't woken up in the process -- he'd stayed completely out (though breathing), all throughout the removal of his clothes (and when she was less worried, those institution-issued tighty whities were getting some commentary), and cleaning and dressing and briefly burning the wound.

Eventually, Annie had fallen into a restless doze at his side, though the slightest movement had her waking up and reaching to check on Diego every few minutes. And good thing, too, since this most recent time when Annie woke with a start as Diego shifted on the mattress, she noticed immediately that his wound had reopened.

"Shit." She should have gone back over that once she'd established he wasn't badly hurt anywhere else, really. Guess she'd have to do it now.

She moved to press a hand into Diego's chest, prepared to hold him steady in case this time he actually did wake up when she burned him, and moved her other hand low to his abdomen. The lamp in the room gave a soft hum, and Annie's hand illuminated, white-hot enough to re-seal that wound for good this time.

Sorry, Diego. Hopefully he stayed out for a little bit longer.

[for the stabbed guy who is, unfortunately for him, not staying out a little bit longer.]

He also had future plans for that beard, don't you worry.

Diego moved his hips to meet her rhythm, careful not to jostle either of them too much. The slow, steady rhythm was doing a lot for him and his need to cling to Annie right now. He moved his other hand to cup her cheek because why not get more saccharine about this?

What was sadder, the guy who owned the fold-out or the two people having sex on someone else's fold-out?

Diego didn't really care; this was exactly what he needed right now. His breath was starting to come out in pants as the pressure low in his stomach (below the stabbing area) started to build up. He ran his thumb over Annie's cheekbone, giving her a look like she was the only thing in his universe.

Which was kind of true, at the moment. He certainly didn't give a single fuck about the apocalypse right now.

"I love you too," he murmured. Not only was it romantic, but it was keeping the noise level down though Diego had forgotten about that part almost immediately.

He kept one hand on her cheek, but the other went to Annie's waist, encouraging the quicker movement.

"Me too," he panted, thrusting his hips up a little harder, not caring about his wound anymore. He could worry about it after. "I love you so much."

Diego was on the verge of orgasm and he could still tell that she jacked up the electronics in here from that.

Oh well, could worry about that after. Right now he was following her almost immediately after--even if he hadn't already been close the hair tugging would have just about done it.

It was one of those toe-curling, lightheaded, spots in front of your eyes ones, partially due to how long it had been and partially because it was the sappy, close kind of sex Diego lived for. He knew he was going to pay for it later with his stomach but it was so worth it.

Diego wrapped his arms loosely around Annie. He didn't exactly want to put pressure on his stomach either, but he did want the clinging to keep happening for a couple more minutes.

"...that was kinda quiet, right?"

Diego grinned. "This place is kind of run down, maybe crappy lighting is the norm?"

"So much better," he admitted. "Like this is actually real."

And not a figment of some heavy sedation.

"Good," he said, smiling again. "Now we just need to stop the apocalypse and everything will be perfect."

"I'm good," he assured her. "Twinged a couple of times but it didn't last. And totally worth that small amount of pain, by the way."

"I'm looking forward to hearing about them," he said, closing his eyes and enjoying the feeling of her hand in his hair. He could definitely get used to that. "Namely involving my beard against your inner thighs."

Just in case she wanted an idea of what she had to look forward to in the future.

"I don't know if it was obvious, but I liked that too." No, it was super obvious. "At least have to keep my hair long enough for us to get through our list of ideas."
