    Summary

    There's no reason his janitor keycard card should let him into Royd's workshop. It does, though, and he's suddenly face to face with the Mecha Man armor, sans Mecha Man himself.

    He just wants a closer look, is all. Maybe to touch it.

    Oh yeah. He's definitely touching it. With more than his fingers, if he can get away with it.

    Summary

    “U-Uhm, hello? Some–is anyone there?”

    Robert pauses just in the doorway out of the kitchen, frowning. What the hell was Waterboy doing calling in? Everyone was dismissed hours ago.

    Robert clicks the little button on the headset. “Waterboy? What’s up?”

    Only then does he start slowly making his way back to his desk. The lights are all off, save for the lamp at the corner of his desk, and the warm, dim glow does nothing to help his exhaustion. “W–uh. Hey! Robert, yes–yeah. So I’m just. Well, I-I have a sort of, you know, situation.”

     

    OR Robert's trying to finish up some late-night assignments. Waterboy is a disaster. It works out for them.

    Summary

    “So you want me to marry Cooper Howard?”

    He shakes his head, laughing under his breath. “Marry? No, no, lets play that by ear,” he assures you. “What we want — need — you two to do is make it look like you’ve been having an affair.” You must look like you’ve seen a ghost. This is insane. “Explains his divorce, gets people talking about you two as a pair, gets eyes on this movie you’re filming together — now, don’t go outright saying it, of course. We just wanna’ make people read between the lines, get them curious enough to get them into the theater to see the chemistry on the screen...”

    ---

    When Cooper Howard finds himself scandalised by not just divorce, but allegations of anti-American sentiment, it falls to the studio system to try and squeeze what they can from him before he finds himself blacklisted. Fortunately, the only thing the press loves more than exposing a commie is a celebrity scandal -- and the studio has just the woman in mind to play the role of the other woman. Being seen with Cooper Howard while filming your breakthrough movie to get people talking? Easy. Doing the right thing when your career and dreams are on the line? ...Jury's out on that one, champ.

    Summary

    But the texts? That’s where the real damage started.

    Late at night, your phone buzzed.

    Soap: Hey, Bonnie. You up?

    You stared at it. You were definitely up, lying in bed with a face mask on and a chamomile tea in one hand like the overstimulated mess you were.

    You took an exasperated breath, then replied:

    You: What do you want.

    He didn’t hesitate.

    Soap: Aside from you in my bed? Just conversation.

    You dropped the phone on your face.

    Or:

    You are a medic, and Johnny is very blunt with his actions, words, and feelings, and loves to see your whole body turn red. You are so. so. screwed.
