Party night. The best of nights. An ornate sign on 33 Apocalypse’s door invited all to knock and make themselves known.

The space inside was bigger than it looked from the outside, stretched and displaced by magic. The wallpaper was green and textured, hinting at the English countryside. On one side of the room sat a significant bar offering food and drinks, while the other gave ample space to sit. A large Jenga tower held prominence in a corner.

It was easy to miss it, though, in favor of the little streams of water that ran across furniture and floor. Tiny glass gondolas, animated by magic, made their way back and forth across each stream. The gondolas were real, though the water itself was an illusion. It called attention to the ceiling, doubly enchanted: both to draw all cigarette smoke to itself so it wouldn’t blow in anyone’s face, but also to mimic the starry sky above Venice.

You could watch the stars twinkle, or see the occasional cloud go by. Magical fireflies added to the illusion, dancing through the air like tiny lights. If you listened closely, you could hear the sea rolling in across an invisible beach. Even the air smelled faintly of it: the sea, warm food and good wine.

Welcome to Eliot and Margo’s pad, people. They’d make damn sure you had a good time.

[ocd up, come party!]

Diego shrugged a shoulder, which was actually a good sign from him. "It's pretty impressive. And I like seeing you all dressed up."

"I mean, we don't have to go to a party for that," Annie replied, moving to slide an arm around Diego's waist. Look, standing in a corner meant you were allowed to engage in a little PDA. "We could just like, dress up and order pizza some time."

Because of course she liked seeing him all dressed up and fancy, too.

Diego laughed softly, putting his arm around her shoulders in return. "Damn, and here I thought I had the anniversary plans all sorted out and you come up with a better idea."

"No, no, I like the anniversary plan," Annie assured him, and he got another carefully-executed, mask-avoiding kiss for just saying that. "We definitely shouldn't be all fancy for that. But, like, we could get all gussied up for a random Tuesday or something."

"I like that idea," Diego said. "But I'd go with any idea that weirds out the pizza guys."

"Then we should for sure wear these masks again," Annie declared. "Even if I keep worrying I'm gonna whack you in the face with half of mine."

She was pretty sure they'd get more practice with that as the night went on, though. Call it a hunch.

"I'm willing to risk it," Diego said, leaning in for another kiss. That hunch was dead on.

"If we get real good at it, maybe we can keep wearing the masks after we go home," Annie pointed out in a murmur.

As though that hadn't obviously been on the table from the moment they'd put them on, please.

"I like that idea." And since Five had fucked off to god knows where, they could do whatever kinky stuff they wanted. "Although I could have worn a mask at any time if you asked."

May Five stay fucked off to wherever until at least next Thursday!

"I know, but I can see your eyes in this one," Annie replied, proving that kinkiness and romance did not have to be mutually exclusive.

"That is a plus," Diego said, because he enjoyed looking at her eyes as well. "Gonna consider incorporating a mask in your outfit?"

"They probably won't let me have a mask and a cape," Annie said with a sigh. "Maybe if I was still in the bodysuit."

That would actually be pretty hot.

"But it would totally help with the secret identity thing, at least."

"I mean, you could always break out the bodysuit and mask when we're alone," he pointed out. "That'd be nice to see."

"Well, let's see where tonight goes," Annie said, giving him a playful look behind her mask. "Maybe I'll feel like getting into that bodysuit later."

Or maybe she'd be drunk and it would seem like a hassle when she was already all sparkly. Who could predict the future?
