Outside then inside the Clocktower, New Gotham, Wednesday

"...ahahah I win! I win!" Dinah was jumping up and down as her palms slapped the elevator door, then hit the button to summon the car. "I get to pick lunch. And dessert! Victory is sweet!"

[ooc: for the running partner/BFF/etcetera guy.]

Comments

Priestly trailed up looking winded and not nearly so enthusiastic. "You know there's more fun ways to get our aerobic exercise in, right? Like -- way more fun?"

[blondecanary]

Dinah snickered and leaned into him, slinging an arm over his shoulders. "Gosh, I don't know. Maybe you're gonna have to show me? After we shower? Or will we need another shower afterward?"

[lovemykilt]

"Nope," Priestly grumbled, leaning dramatically against her. "Too late. You've done me in. You'll have to go on without me."

[blondecanary]

The doors to the elevator slid aside, and Dinah dragged him gently into it, giggling in his ear. "Nooooo! There has to be some kind of CPR I can do, right?" She grinned against his jaw, and whispered, "Maybe mouth-to-mouth?"

[lovemykilt]

"You just dragged me on a run through 300% humidity," Priestly pointed out. He was being overdramatic, it wasn't any more than 60%. "You're gonna have to do better than promise make-outs."

Not a lot better, mind you. He did enjoy a good make-out session.

[blondecanary]

"It was not 300%," Dinah objected, backing him into a wall, and putting fingers on his pulse, only half-serious about it. "Maybe 100%. Maybe. And there could be, umm." She grinned. "Clothes-free workouts? You can just coach, if you want...."

The elevator dinged, and the doors opened just then, as Dinah was going in for a kiss.

[lovemykilt]

"Mmmm," Priestly hummed happily into the kiss. "See, now you're -- oooohhhh hey there Helena."

[gothamlights]

"Heeeeeey, there." Helena's smirk was dialed up to 11, and she looked vastly entertained. "Priestly. Dinah. Gosh. You're all sweaty. How did that happen?"

[blondecanary]

"We went for a run," Dinah said, pulling back, face on fire. But not letting go of Priestly, nope. "And. You know. It's hot outside." Hot in that elevator, too. "And... uh." She groaned. "You can stop looking smug any second now, really."

[lovemykilt]

"It's all Dinah's fault," Priestly said, making absolutely no attempt to stop being pinned to the wall of the elevator. "This particular sweatiness, anyway." Except, you know, the parts where he'd egged her on with flirting and kissing back and things. "I was trying to tell her there were nicer ways and places to get our exercise."

[blondecanary]

"Shut uuup!" Dinah wasn't sure why, but Priestly smirking back was not helping. So, there was another kiss there, 'cause that would help. Well. Help him shush, not Helena stop smirking. Right. Ummm... Okay, facing the music and the sister.

"So, yeah. We're doing this now. Deal."

[gothamlights]

"Oh my god, you're hilarious. Like you haven't been 'doing this' for years in everything but hands-on," Helena said, rolling her eyes. She got out of the way and called out to the rest of the tower. "Barbara! Alfred! Newsflash! Dinah and Priestly are being adorable!"

Barbara's "What?" floated down from the gallery as Alfred came into the room with a tea set. "Would you like some refreshment, in that case, Miss Dinah?"

[lovemykilt]

Priestly could definitely find better things to do with his lips than continuing to smirk, yes. He broke off one of them that involved Dinah's neck to look suspiciously at Helena. "You're not one of Momo and Karla's spies, are you? 'Cause this isn't a secret. Except, you know, the parts where we haven't really told anyone. Especially them."

[blondecanary]

"That," Dinah agreed, giving Priestly a kiss, half-defiant, half-distracted. "Because. Um. What do you mean, it's the same without the hands-on?"

And did she want an answer to that?.... Naaah.

Barbara wheeled in, looking intrigued, and then raised and eyebrow at how Dinah was leaning into Priestly and fiddling with his hair. "Ah."

[lovemykilt]

Priestly waved to Barbara, still not making an effort to be unpinned. Turned out he liked that part rather a lot, surprising no one who'd noticed almost all his girlfriends and crushes over the years could probably break him in half if they wanted. "You guys could at least have the grace to look surprised."

[gothamlights]

"Oh heavens," Alfred said, in the driest of dry British voices. "Miss Dinah and Master Priestly are quite close to each other. And are affectionate. Whenever did this begin to occur?"

Barbara choked out a laugh and said, "Well, I, at least, would like to know that, in all seriousness?"
