⑰ To the future → Is it everything you've dreamed? Is it horrible? Whatever happens, you're here to witness what happens to you in the future. Either you take the place of your future self or you're just there to watch. Might cause some confusion if people start seeing double though...

③ Lost → You're lost and you kind of need help finding your way to where you're going. A little help with directions?

⑤ Wrong number → Oops, actually you didn't mean to call that person...

⑨ Problems → you've got a problem with each other, just got in a huge fight, whatever. Try to work it out!

⑪ I saw you → you saw the other person doing something bad and you need to confront them about it.
⑫ Sorry but no → the other person has feelings that you just don't share. They don't necessarily have to be romantic... maybe you just don't agree with their sudden desire to quit their job and start a business making tiny, fuzzy teddy bears.

⑰ Rescue! → One of you was in trouble, but you came to the rescue!
⑱ Boss → One of you works under the other. Is your relationship good? Are you scheming things? Or do you hate each other?
⑲ Perfect crime → You and the other person have just pulled off the perfect crime... or you're planning to! What are you doing? The heist of the century, an assassination?
⑳ Movies → movie night! Maybe it's a sleepover. Whichever the case, it's time to eat a lot and have fun.
SEX.
① First time → it's your first time together or your first time ever! Enjoy the awkward times!
② Bondage → You and your partner decide to experiment a little with ropes or handcuffs or whatever you'd like to tie your partner up with.
③ Rough / Aggressive → Your characters want it rough.
④ Romantic → Slow and gentle, meaningful, that's how characters want it.
⑤ Dubcon → Character A wants Character B and it doesn't really matter if Character B wants it as bad or not.
⑥ In public → Characters feel like taking a risk and doing it in a public place.
⑦ Roleplay → Naughty nurse fetish? Pirate kink? You and your partner decide to try it out now!
⑧ Healing → You've both fought hard or gone through a rough time and it's time to get some R&R in.
⑨ Last time → This is the last time you're going to this because you're breaking up or maybe your lover is running off to sacrifice their lives in some heroic way. The possibilities are endless, but you better make this one count.
⑩ No strings attached → You're just friends with benefits. Nothing wrong with that, right?
⑪ Anonymous → You met in a restroom or bar, any location of your choosing, but you don't even know each other's names.
⑫ Toys → You're eager to try something new, so why not toys?
⑬ Aphrodisiacs → You've been slipped a strong aphrodisiac somehow and now you absolutely cannot control yourself.
⑭ Show → You're putting on a show by either doing it right in the club or filming it for a bunch of people.
⑮ Ménage à trois → It's time for that threesome you've always dreamed of.
⑯ Non-penetrative → Frottage, handjobs, whatever you want to try out.
⑰ Controlled → You are under mind control and must do whatever your lover asks of you.
⑱ Hate sex → It's not just rough or aggressive, you absolutely cannot stand each other.
⑲ Extreme → Fisting, knife play, whatever you can think of so long as it tests the boundaries.
⑳ Fantasy → This is just a fantasy, a dream, and you know it, but what is your ideal fantasy and how willing is your partner?
no subject
Agnes is in the kitchen so he may as well follow and start poking around. He should have gone grocery shopping before coming over so he could make her some healthy meals to reheat during the week. Maybe he can do that tomorrow - bring some groceries and do some cooking. Ms Agnes won't mind him using her kitchen.
Keith comes over to Agnes' side to borrow some paper and a pen and begins making a list of things to get, checking cupboards and talking to himself softly as he goes.]
Hm, more vegetables. Meat and fish too....
no subject
...Tell StrexCorp we are STILL not interested - How much?!...
...We'll consider it for next season.
[As Sky High pokes around, he's probably going to notice some takeout menus. She'd meant to order something, but a few things came up. Literally. In the form of a superhero outside her window.
Agnes's head is going fuzzy again. She should probably end this soon, but look at how much has gone wrong in one day! Clearly these people can't run things themselves! (And CLEARLY none of these things could have waited until morning. Except for ALL of them.)]
LOL StrexCorp! Please just no!
Stopping with his list in hand he watches Agnes consideringly. He can give her a little bit longer before trying to distract her. At least till he can organise some food. Mind made up, Keith moves back out into the other room, take out menus in hand as he pulls out his phone. It's not his first choice but he can still find some healthy options to order. The address nearly gives him trouble before he realises they should have it recorded if they've delivered to Ms Agnes before.
Once that's done he wanders back into the kitchen, taking a seat close by and leaning on the table to watch Ms Agnes. And stays there, chin resting on folded arms, gaze fixed on her as he waits. If she looks his way she'll get a hopeful smile that quickly fades as the conversation continues. The room is getting surprisingly breezy too as time passes. Finally-]
Ms Agnes?
Smiiiiiiiiile! :DDD
It's... pretty rude, ignoring a guest like this. Except Keith practically let himself in. So he's less 'guest' more 'interloper.' Does it count as trespassing when you're invited in but only so the neighbors don't figure out you're a Hero? You would think etiquette books would explore this topic in greater detail.
Even so, Agnes still doesn't order him to leave. Somehow that course of action just doesn't present itself. When she catches Keith's eye, gets that smile, there's a weird sort of flip. It's... not bad, having someone else here. Of course, the spinning could also be because she's due for more pain meds. And sleep. Yes. It is definitely those.
Just to be sure, she doesn't look over again. Doesn't see the way his expression fades. So it is a complete shock when he actually interrupts.]
Hang on -
[Covering the speaker, she hisses-]
What?
*hides*
It's also rude to interrupt someone on the phone, particularly an important call and normally he wouldn't dare. But it seemed like if he didn't say something Ms Agnes would be on the phone all night.]
I was just thinking... Well, maybe this could wait? Till tomorrow? It is supposed to be your day off and you should try to get some rest while you can.
[If only the food would arrive, maybe he could convince her to end the call in favour of eating.]
I ordered dinner and it should be here soon and I'd hate for it to get cold before you could eat.
Morning!
But her head's starting to feel even worse, now that he mentions it. (THANKS A LOT.)
Then there's a buzz - The doorman, requesting permission to send the delivery person up.]
Evening!
Please wait here! I'll be back at once!
[Ms Agnes shouldn't be walking around more than she has to so there can't be a problem with him (eventually) locating the panel to tell the doorman to send them on up. He even goes out to meet the driver in the hall so they can get back to work quickly.
Sending the delivery man on his way with a 'thanks and thanks again!' Keith trots back into the kitchen toting a couple of steaming bags. That should have give Agnes plenty of time to wrap up her call so he announces his return as loudly cheerful as ever. That surely helps her head, right?]
I'm back! And I've returned! I have dinner for you!
no subject
Right. Good night.
[She hangs up, but keeps the ear piece in. Once again - phone calls not even registering as work. Reaching for a bag attached to her crutches, she digs out the medicine.]
What did you order?
[That is... a lot of food, Keith.]
no subject
It's good to see Agnes has finally ended the call. Trying to convince her to hang up if she was determined not to is not something he wanted to have to do so it's quite a relief.]
I got Thai - some stir frys with lots of vegetables and meat and noodles as well as a few other things. Is that OK? I made sure it was healthy, nothing too greasy.
[Seeing the bottle of pills he immediately goes to fetch her a glass of water to wash them down. And then to try and whisk away the computer and papers while Agnes is hopefully not paying attention. They need the space for dinner! And if that means the pile goes somewhere up high as well, well maybe they need a lot of space.]
no subject
She crunches down on the pills then gulps water, willing the medicine to work faster.
There's so many bags she doesn't protest when Keith clears the table. (What other reason would he have?) The amount shouldn't be that surprising. All of the Heroes are massive eaters. HeroTV actually has a cafeteria open 24 hours a day, with an on-call staff for particularly heavy sessions.]
One person carried all this?
no subject
Yes? They did ask if I was having a party.
[And had been less than impressed to see him take everything in one hand without struggling. But really, it wasn't that heavy compared to the weights he trained with.
Plates and cutlery are produced and Keith begins to serve up some of everything for them both. He might be too used to eating with Dragon Kid and the other heroes though as he automatically piles Agnes' plate just as high as his own before setting it down in front of her.]
Are you comfortable here? I can get you a footrest or something if you like.
Last tag for today, but that was fun!
Quit fussing. You wanted us to eat, so eat!
[There's a bit of a smile, though. Anyway, there's a mission - better get started! Agnes begins poking at the mountain of food. There is no way she's going to be able to finish this.
She tries to remember the last time she actually sat at this table and ate, without graphs or a computer screen. It's usually just another desk.]
no subject
[He is admittedly hungry so doesn't need any more encouragement to tuck in. It's a little odd for him too - Keith normally eats at home with only John for company unless the heroes are having a night out. But it's nice for a change and Ms Agnes seems in better shape than last night, enough that he decides to continue the conversation rather than simply fill the silence with chatter.]
How was your day Ms Agnes? Besides the broadcast earlier, did you get a chance to rest?
[Silly question maybe but he's always an optimist.]
no subject
I slept eight hours, practically wasted the morning!
[It might be a joke. It... probably isn't.]
At least the hostage rescue went well. About time Rock Bison did something.
[Oh look, we managed a whole FOUR SECONDS not talking about the show! Agnes is so used to deflecting from the personal she doesn't realize she's doing it. Even on something as innocuous as "How way your day."
For all that she thinks about Keith not having an "off" switch, hers isn't much better.]
no subject
[Not that he can't understand the frustration. He'd hated being stuck in the hospital after being beaten by Jake and had wanted to get back to work as soon as possible too. But she's going to take longer to heal even without pushing herself and making it worse.]
He did do a good job today, didn't he? He was very happy, I think he went out to celebrate even.
[And while Keith is usually happy to talk about work and his friends, he's not about to be distracted that easily. Not when he was already thinking back to the night before in this apartment.]
But, uh-
[He almost changes his mind - he doesn't want Ms Agnes mad at him again when she seems to be in (relatively) good mood but he'd been thinking about it earlier in the day and he can't just forget what they spoke about last night. Taking a deep breath he takes the plunge.]
Have you ever... thought about letting someone else handle the broadcasts sometimes? [The last words come out in a rush and he immediately presses on before she can shout at him.] Just for a few days! So you could take some time off.
no subject
It's not that simple, Keith.
[It's not just the broadcast, it's everything that goes into even having a broadcast, There's the scheduling and publicity and sponsor meetings and next year's insurance paperwork due next week and... That's the trap, isn't it? You work so hard to make yourself the best, indispensable, that you become afraid to leave. Because what if you are, and everything falls apart? Or what if you're not, and everyone figures out they don't actually need you? (It's hard to say which would be worse.)
It's an irrational mindset. This is her system. She did not build something that would fall apart just because one person is gone. But it's her system, not someone else's... and around we go again.
She hasn't equated her situation with Sky High's recent hospital stint. That part of his interest might be in knowing exactly how frustrated she is.]
no subject
Even better, she's not yelling. She doesn't look too happy with him but she's not yelling so he presses on. Though she might just start with what he has to say next. He studies his plate, silent for another few mouthfuls as he searches for the right words to convey his feelings without upsetting her.]
But... HeroTV was around before you took over. It wasn't as successful but it still ran alright.
[Admittedly Maverick had been running things then which made it hard to say how much of the success had been due to his actions but he didn't think the broadcasts themselves had ever been staged.]
And you've trained the other staff yourself. I'm sure they could manage the normal broadcasts and everything on their own for a few days. It would be worse if something were to happen because you overworked yourself and we lost you for longer Ms Agnes.
no subject
Her gift is instantly reading any scenario and running. Which she can't do right now, figuratively or literally. It's dangerous though, letting him worm in like this. She could shut the whole thing down easily. She should. Just tell him to fuck off and get the hell out of her apartment. Or ask how he felt, when he had to sit and watch other people do his job? That would shut him up.
And none of that would be fair. She doesn't want to hurt him, she wants... who the hell knows. Mostly for her leg to stop aching.
The glare now is more out of habit. Agnes sets a hand under her chin, the other tapping on the table between them.]
You've certainly put a lot of thought into it.
[At least it's not an outright 'No.']
no subject
Putting his fork down he meets her gaze seriously, giving her his full attention.]
Of course I have. You're important Ms Agnes. I want you to be happy. And I'd hate for anything to happen to you.
[He frowns, thinking back over how they came to this point. He doesn't want her to think it's just guilt over letting her get hurt that's making him say that.]
And not just because it's my fault you got hurt. I would- I do feel the same no matter what.
[Her being injured has just made it easier to involve himself in her personal life and reminded him that she is just human like the rest of them, no matter how much she might act otherwise.]
I think we're all so used to having you around we've started taking you for granted so when something happens to you it... makes us see how important you are.
no subject
Well. That's...
['Sweet' is the word that nearly escapes. A term Agnes has used twice in her life, maybe.
He has very bright eyes.
Why the hell is she noticing that. That is completely irrelevant to the conversation. She tries to wave it all off, both the unhelpful observation and Keith's persistent forays back into personal. As if they're just buzzing flies. Unfortunately, they are not so easy to dismiss.]
It was a freak accident, okay? Things happen all the time. It doesn't make any of this special.
[She's dodging. Talking about the leg. Nothing else because there IS nothing else.]
no subject
...It's funny, he'd been so nervous at just the thought of holding the girl in the park's hand but this is the second time in as many days he's taken Ms Agnes' without even thinking. Though he's not entirely sure where that comparison came from, Ms Agnes is nothing like the quiet girl he barely got a chance to know. That's not a bad thing, mind - Ms Agnes certainly isn't going to disappear for any reason.]
You're right. It's not special. Everyone can get hurt. And everyone needs to lean on other people sometimes. There's nothing wrong with that.
[His cheeks flush red suddenly and he has to look down at the table shyly before continuing in a quieter voice-]
You could lean on me if you want. I wouldn't mind.
no subject
Look, Sky High - Keith -
[Then she catches the blush, right before he breaks eye contact. Oh wonderful. NOW he decides to be shy. Even his ears are going red, for crying out loud.
Why should this be some sort of big confession? He helps people all the time - but, Agnes realizes, they're usually not fighting him about it. He's used to battles, big explosions and mid-air theatrics. Saving people who want to be saved. On the ground, though, he's out of his element. Just like everyone else; fumbling and tripping but still trying. He does get points for that (Figuratively. For once, this isn't a performance grade.)]
It's really that important to you.
[Not a question. And she doesn't pull her hand free.]
no subject
[He looks up again, determinedly meeting her gaze despite the fact his face is still hot.
He's not sure why Ms Agnes seems to have such a dislike of letting people help her - or maybe it's just letting the heroes since she's used to directing them as they save other people - but he wants her to understand how much he wants to be able to help.]
Why wouldn't it be? Why wouldn't it be important to me?
no subject
[She's angry, suddenly, fingers clamping hard around Keith's. And there are words rushing out, ones she usually keeps safely stamped down. But he's listening and asking and that's enough.]
People are selfish. They're mean and small and petty, and all they want is to keep everyone at their level. Normal. Failing. You just - You have no idea how much you are an exception, not the rule, and I have to deal with that every day.
[And in case he's going to argue, she pushes on.]
Do you know how many production jobs there are at this level? Maybe a dozen. Do you know how many are held by women? One. One in twenty-seven years. That's not because of a lack of talent.
You want me to be happy? Fine. Being the best at my job and staying there. Making the biggest, flashiest "SCREW YOU" show I can. So all the jackasses can see they're wrong, and they watch anyway. That's what makes me happy.
[And... maybe that's finally going to get through. Why she won't just stay at home and rest. It's too much like being told to sit down, be quiet, and she has heard that too damn much.
Sometimes you fight so long you don't know when it's okay to stop.]
no subject
He can't agree with her belief that people are at their heart cruel and petty - they may be capable of selfish actions but given the chance almost everyone will help someone in need. But that's not really the point here.
The idea that it was difficult for Ms Agnes to rise to her role of producer of HeroTV not just because it was a competitive field but because some people might not think she could do it solely because she was a woman wasn't something that had ever occurred to him. NEXT powers didn't discriminate and so (he assumed) such things didn't affect who became a hero. It's, fairly obviously, not something he's ever had to deal with.
It's also near impossible to imagine someone suggesting Ms Agnes is anything less than terrifyingly capable.]
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to suggest-
[He stops, tries again-]
I didn't know that it had been so hard for you. I'm sorry. It shouldn't be like that.
[His other hand comes up to cup hers between his own, thumb rubbing over the back of her hand in a vague attempt to relax her.]
I don't think anyone else could've made HeroTV as successful as it is. You are amazing and talented and as much a hero of this city as me or any of the others and anyone who thinks otherwise is wrong. But I worry about you pushing yourself too hard. Not because you're a woman but because you're always working so hard and I think you take care of everyone but yourself.
I won't- I can't make you do anything you don't want to but please, would you at least let me support you however I can? Even if it's just little things this- [he gestures at the food forgotten on the table] so you don't have to do everything yourself. I wouldn't think any less of you for it.
