Your trail of broken hearts all throughout time makes it pretty clear it's not your first rodeo.
[she's hinted at something having happened between them. or well, the other mick who had been here before him, but mick's never cared enough to ask for definite confirmation or worried that there'd be any sort of expectations one way or the other. he's kind of figured if they ended up in bed that it was just going to happen in due course.
by the look of things, due course might be happening pretty damn soon.]
Yeah, I'm not sure my friend thought that one through. She said something about wanting to make sure I didn't suggest anything ridiculous and there she goes handing me something with a plunging neckline. Who knew someone who dresses like a kindergarten teacher would pick something so scandalous.
[what's this about not wanting to know, sara? oops. sorry. have some more confirmation that mick's shopping for a bathing suit with none other than supergirl] You're a smart cookie and I'm gonna guess that it is who you think it is. She's blonde. Looks good in red leather skirts. I think it's leather anyhow. I won't say her name.
Shame. Not that I don't like the white suit, but pretty sure I'd like you better in black. Like a warning sign. Danger. Badass ahead.
someday when we have free time between defeating the time pigs and fighting off aliens, right?
[because they're just swimming in the abundance of free time they've got. jfc when's he gonna get a real vacation. oh right that's basically what this is.]
that your final answer? cause i'm getting funny looks like they think i'm not gonna actually pay for anything i've picked up.
Right. And yes Probably better that they think that than think you're buying it for yourself
( enjoy this pseudo-vacation while you can, mick rory. this is as close to aruba as your ass is gonna get if things keep going the way that they are back in their world. )
Yeah. It's not exactly my color... or style. But that reminds me. Been so busy picking something for you that I forgot I'll need something too.
Don't wanna know what kind of shit you'd give me if I showed up in jeans and boots.
[don't remind him of the real world, sara lance. he knows damn well that the minute they go back to the waverider that shit's probably going to hit the fan. world's never gonna cut them slack.]
I'd kick your ass if you made me prance around half naked and you showed up like that I'm glad you recognize that.
( sara knows for a fact that shit's going to go down once they go back. probably why she's saying screw it and allowing herself to indulge in this opportunity to let off a little bit of steam. pre-tty hard to do this kind of de-stressing on the waverider sometimes. )
Lucky for me you won't have to. Found my outfit and just paid for yours.
Hope you're up for sun, sand, and sipping fruity drinks.
[it's not quite jeans and work boots, but he's pretty sure that she's probably going to give him shit for his choice in attire. still, it's appropriate if not a little ridiculous. at least they won't be going to the beach with anyone they know.]
I'd drown myself before I wore a Speedo. Who the fuck do you think I am?
[of course it's foreplay. maybe not for the picket fence yearning crowd, but for them? definitely so. but what's more important than text-based foreplay? actual foreplay. which should be happening shortly if all goes well.]
Just finishing lunch and then I'll be on my way over.
Better not keep me waiting too long It'd be a pretty bad look for an apparent personal shopper
( but either way, her ass is probably just going to be sitting on her kitchen counter and nursing a beer to pregame while she waits for mr. endless appetite to figure his shit out. it feels right, though, considering who she's waiting on. )
Gonna have to make you wait at least half an hour before we swim anyway... [for once he's not the only one to blame for how long it takes to finish lunch. kara danvers has an appetite that rivals his, making lunch a rather lengthy affair. eventually, however, makes his way toward her place, detouring long enough to change into his beach attire beforehand.
a couple loud taps on the door followed by a loud 'special delivery.' are how he opts to greet her. at least he's being direct, right?]

First option that's passed muster. My expert says it's 'cute'.
no subject
( but he's finally offered a bikini for her to appraise. strangely, her first thought brings her to supergirl. )
Color's nice
Not bad
Won't veto it but I wanna see other options.

Actually you know what nevermind I actually don't want to know
Next option.
no subject
How's this one?
no subject
But then I realized that if it's who I think it is I'd rather not know.
I'm into that one.
Kinda reminds me of my old suit
Which I'm only now realizing that you've never seen

no, she's not going to let her anger at him for bringing kara into this out right at this very second; she'll simply channel it elsewhere. )
Maybe I'll let you see it one day back in our world if I'm feeling nice
If I feel like you deserve it
As of right now, it's a no
Yes to the bikini though

And I won't feel bad about it either
( this is kind of like foreplay, right? threatening the dude you maybe kind of definitely want to get with's life in one text after the other?
it's worked on other people. but wait, also: )
Thanks.
You bring it on by when you feel like going and I'll change and we'll go
