Vought Tower | Wednesday Afternoon

Annie's enormous gold-and-white apartment was almost quiet for the first time in over two hours, now that she was gently all but pushing Ashley, Seth and Evan out the door. Her face hurt from smiling, her brain was tired from answering questions and leaping swiftly though conversational hoops before someone said something that could bite either of them in the ass later, and she wanted to get the fuck out of this uniform and take stock of how her fiancé was feeling, please.

But Vought was Vought, so. "I think this is going to turn out, like, so fucking great, Starlight," Ashley was saying, consulting the VoughtPad she was carrying with the rough coverage of the interview on it. "Spread looks great, you both look hot as hell, interview was perf -- this is going to be so good with, like, women between 15 and 45."

"Romance of the century," Evan added, glancing over Annie's shoulder at Diego with an assuring wave of his hand.

"So down-to-Earth," Seth added, looking from Annie to Diego and back again. "The girl next door with superpowers bringing her man home to meet her fans." He actually clasped a hand to his heart.

That was Annie's cue to actually give these people a physical push now, one hand on Seth's back as she steered them out the door and thanked them for coming before Ashley could say something racist to Diego again. (Annie was trying to nip that in the bud, but there had been a few times where all she'd been able to do was direct the interviewer not to use that comment and shoot Diego an apologetic look.)

And as soon as the door was shut and it was silent again, Annie leaned back against the door and closed her eyes for a moment before looking over towards Diego. "That...went okay?"

It had gone shockingly okay, by her standards, but if he disagreed then she'd make sure it went different next time.

[for the other person who's gonna be on the cover of People next Tuesday.]

"God, so do you," he said, breaking off into another loud moan. Later on he'd really hope this room was soundproof or Homelander was off doing literally anything else.

"Fuck, I love you," he gasped, feeling his stomach tighten as he got closer to release. "Harder--"

Jesus, that was about the hottest thing he had ever seen. And they did this a lot.

"Close," he warned, although it was pretty obvious by now. It was a miracle he didn't completely lose it just by watching her. "With me, come on--"

He would definitely be wearing those marks as a badge of honor. For now, he barely felt her nails on him, too focused on how good everything was and how close he was.

So close, in fact, he was coming right after her, somehow being louder than before. The dirty and sweet stuff really did it for him, okay?

"Love you," he murmured right back. He shakily lifted up one of his arms so he could run his fingers along her back. "We're great at post-interview sex."

"No, I am amazing right now." Like, so great. Everything right now was great.

"You are," Diego said, lifting his head enough to press a kiss to the top of her head before settling down again. "We both are."
