Gently had never really been one for gushing. She was a fun creature, built to enjoy herself and not get too serious about anything. She delighted in keeping herself busy and having as much fun as she could, whether there were others there or not.
They came and went, just as her interests shifted. Her goals moved
But something had her lingering now.
She found she would be happy settling down. Not in the 'get married and waste life away being boring' sense, but something more than how loose she had been before. her mind had been turning over certain things, feelings, for a while now. Feelings towards her Lieutenants and the others of the Negaverse. How maternal she was feeling. That was a scary thought in an of itself, but she took it to mean she was growing up at last.
A boyfriend, a steady one, was a good thing for her.
She wasn't sure if she was putting pressure on him, but if she was he'd say something wouldn't he? They didn't have much trouble talking, or doing anything else, as far as she could tell. They were good at arguing and debating, too, which was a different kind of fun. Most of the time.
She was relaxing outside in the sun, opting to tan a bit. She found she rarely managed to find that fine line between sunburned and ghost white, but she was working hard to find it. Though she teased him and gave him a hard time quite frequently, and liked to play hard to get, she also wanted to look good for Tag.

Tag had gotten out of work early, which was never all to great of a sign in the news industry. Of course, he had been coming in to the studio more and more in recent weeks, so perhaps they were just kindly asking him to take some time off. Either way, he wasn't too happy about it. On top of that, it was supposed to be his weekend with Liam, but Chelsea and her new beau were taking a small beach vacation with his child, so Tag had instead rearranged to be with Gently.
Not that there is anything wrong with that, he reminded himself. He liked her and stuff, and that's what was important and stuff.
He got to her place unannounced and fumbled for the key loose in his pocket. It wasn't on his keychain yet - he had been meaning to do that - and quietly opened the door to a seemingly empty house. The backdoor was open so he peered outside to find his girlfriend tanning by her pool.
"You're going to get tan lines if you do that with your swim suit on," he suggested with a faint smile. "Got out a bit early, thought we could start our weekend now. I'll come join you outside in a sec."
He then went back inside to her kitchen and poured himself a glass of scotch he had stored there in one of his past visits. In one gulp, he downed the glass before refilling it again.
"Do you want anything?" he shouted out, playing the role of someone who is moderately considerate of other people. Such a tough role.

"Whatever you're having," she called back, grinning as she heard him. He was cute, trying to act like a house wife. She knew it was not his forte, though she appreciated the effort at least.
In her head, things were just fine. She was having fun with him, and that was all she wanted in life most of the time.
For his benefit, she rolled onto her stomach and reached behind her, drawing the strings on her bikini. She had a towel under her on the chair and one rolled up as a pillow for comfort. But beyond that she was simply clothed in her bathing suit.
Well, half of it now.
She waited for him to come outside with whatever it was he was drinking, smirking to herself.
"How was your day?" she called. She wasn't sure if she cared, with thoughts of spending a weekend with him in her head.

Tag poured another glass of the scotch for Gently, loosened his tie, tossed his jacket on the counter and carried the drinks outback to his girlfriend. He sat in the seat beside her, placing her drink down on the ground within reach as he sipped his own.
"Day was fine," he shrugged. He didn't particularly care to get into it, and 'fine' was his normal answer to these kinds of questions. He unbuttoned a few buttons of his shirt and kicked off his shoe, preparing to relax under the sun. "How long have you been out here for? It's pretty nice out, I might go for a dip in a few."

"I haven't been out here too long. My English skin does not allow for it," she laughed. She watched him sideways, admiring him for a moment. She knew he was a jerk, but she was his jerk.
And right now, he was being very nice. So she liked him even more.
"A swim might be lovely though."
She sat up after making sure he bikini was back in place. She took her drink and sipped it gingerly. She did enjoy a drink of two but she was still not particularly good at it. she didn't like the way it burned. At least, she didn't when she was in a good mood.
"We should do something," she said, watching him. "Something fun. Mess with some knights, or something. I feel cooped up. It's not the way I like to be. Or we could go to a club, let loose. Either way." She motioned for him to come closer to her, getting a coy look on her face.

"I dunno," he shrugged as he leaned back in his seat, ignoring her coy gestures for now. Beating up Senshi and Knights was always a fun treat, but he had a hunch it was more fun for her than him - and what he cared about was what was good for him. Likewise, going to a club just wasn't the same with a girlfriend. If he wasn't going to get a one night stand, then what's the point? "I could go for a night in." He could hardly believe he uttered those boring words. "But first, why don't we take that swim?" he arched a brow suggestively. He unbuttoned the rest of his shirt and stripped it off, pulling off his socks as well to get comfortable. "Of course, I don't have a suit."

"Well, you can always borrow one of mine," she said teasingly, moving from the chair. She leisurely did her top up, since she was outside and some times her neighbors liked to peek through the holes in the fence, but she did not hide anything while doing it.
She grinned at him, challenging as always.
"I'm sure you'll figure something out." She moved to him and stole a kiss, perfectly happy with how things were. As far as her personal life was concerned, she took a much more relaxed stance than her work and play times. She did not need to be constantly having fun, constantly pushing boundaries or causing a scene. It was a balance, the counter point to the rest of her personality.
She wanted a boyfriend, liked the idea of being steady. And eventually, she wanted kids. A family. A husband. She did not see that in Tag, and wouldn't delude herself otherwise, but she did at least find in him the boyfriend she wanted for where she was in her life now. She hoped he was on the same page, but it wasn't actually something that came up in conversation much.
They weren't talkers, really.
Bouncing to the pool, she disappeared under the clean water. Her bikini top and bottom surfaced before she did, and when she did emerge she was on the opposite end of the water, where it was deeper, watching him with devious eyes from the surface line of the water.

Well, that was a persuasive argument to get his interest. Breasts just had that effect on him. He quickly loosened his pants and dropped them, tossing back the last of his drink before dropping his briefs and diving into the pool with his girlfriend. Sometimes having a girlfriend had its advantages, he supposed. And perhaps a night in wouldn't be so bad... He swam close to her, giving a playful splash before wrapping a hand around her waist. "Still rather be messing with some Knights?" he smiled.

Gently flashed him a bright smile, trying to flee his splash but he caught her before she could. She wiggled against him, laughing and not really trying to escape before she gave up and put her arms around his shoulders.
"I think they can wait for a little while," she said, letting her lips linger near his as she spoke. She stole a quick kiss before she slipped out of his hold, sinking under water and trying to tug him with her.
She might have been a badass when she was powered up, and could probably take him in a fight, when she was in her civilian form she was pathetically weak. She was a tiny woman who had never really liked physical labor and spent most of her few years behind desks and computers for her studies. So she did not exactly have the strongest pull, in the physical sense, in the world.
Still, she tried. She wanted him, in every way, and she couldn't help how happy she felt just playing with him. For her, this was the best kind of a night, and she was perfectly happy with the idea of a boyfriend. That this could be her normal, her routine.

Gently pulling him under was probably a good metaphor for their relationship, he thought. He felt like she was drowning him, that he was losing himself with her. But then, he thought, whatever she's naked and good to go.
And then they had sex.
