Casual Affair | OLICITY

Tonight was the night the company (his company) was supposed to be hosting that charity dinner. He had no idea how to set something up like this, so he had left that to his sister to work with the events department. Unable to make up his mind about a tie, he grabbed both that he was looking at, then headed out of his office. He told his driver to pick up Felicity, and he hoped it really wasn’t that weird he had to ask for help to pick out his tie for the evening. And tie it.

If You Like It Then You Should've Put A Cookie In It - Sueper

Sue had been halfheartedly flipping through channels for a while, now.

She could have sworn it had been something like an hour since Cooper had mumbled something about Cookie Monster and declared the kitchen was now out of bounds for her, before storming into the other room taking Robin with him as well. Weird, she thought, as she adjusted a pillow behind her back. 

But it wasn't the first time something like this had happened, either. You kinda got used to it when living with Cooper Anderson for over a year, and it was pretty exciting, she had to admit. 

Still, they hadn't had dinner yet, and it was starting to get late for Robin. Her bedtime was getting closer and closer, and Sue still had no idea what her and her dad were up to in that kitchen, if they were cooking at all. 

"...Coop?" Sue called, once she turned the volume of the TV down, "Any chance I'll get you and our daughter back anytime soon?"

We Need To Talk || Sueper

In all the years sue had known Cooper, she'd never seen him that way. She'd seen him upset, disappointed, even mad a few times, but never had she seen him so devastated he wouldn't even leave their couch. He'd pretty much only talked to Robin and Muffin that day, except for that brief moment they'd shared when some jerk on the internet had decided to bring up her sister now that she was already prone to crying.

Seeing him that way was unbearable. She knew how badly he wanted a child, and if this baby turned out to not be his, she was never going to forgive herself. He deserved so much better than that. 

That evening, she left Robin at Kurt and Dave's place, as planned. knowing that her having a Disney marathon with them would give Sue and Cooper some time to talk freely about their situation. 

When she came back home, a take-away bag from Cooper's favorite restaurant in her hands, she knew she would still find him in their living room..

"Hey... I got us dinner. I would probably have made you some, but I'm a bad enough cook when my perception of taste isn't completely messed up, so..." oh, great. She was rambling. Sue cleared her throat once again, trying to collect her thoughts. She rested the bag on the table, sitting next to him soon after "Cooper, I can't tell you enough how sorry I am. I wanted this baby so badly, I guess I just got way too disappointed when it seemed like we couldn't have one. I thought that, if I was getting frustrated over it, you'd probably be even more, since you're not the one nearing menopause, here." Sue stared pointedly at her hands. She was now fidgeting, and she was having a really hard time reminding herself to appear more confident than she truly was, now "I know you could be with someone who could give you the big family you dreamed of, and for that one night I wanted to be fun. I wanted to not be the partner going through a midlife crisis, on top of all the problems I'd been causing you because of my hormones-induced mood swings. I wanted to be... young." Sue let her voice die a little on that last word, hoping he wouldn't catch that part. She hated being so vulnerable.

"I know this doesn't justify what happened, and I don't expect you to forgive me. Just... please, don't hate me."

Screwing up || Sueper

Sue was really lucky to have Cooper, she realized, changing into her 23hrs Fitness attire while waiting for him at home. It wasn't the first time he'd dropped whatever he was doing to meet her, and not only was that one of the sweetest things anyone could do, but it was now badly needed.

She had screwed up. She'd screwed up really bad. 

It seemed like she couldn't get anything right, recently. First, Jeff, whom she probably pushed into an eating disorder without even realizing, and now it seemed her advice to Kurt was going to be the cause for Blaine to start drinking. Her advice-giving abilities seemed to have gone downhill in the past few days, and while she was used to hostility from others, she certainly didn't expect to ever think they just might be right about her. Yes, Jeff probably already had other problems in his life that led him to develop an eating disorder and seek her "help", and Kurt had known he wasn't in love with Blaine all along. Yet, Sue couldn't shake the feeling that she was pushing everyone over the edge.

As tough as she was and wanted to be, she needed reassurance. She needed someone to tell her that she was doing something right, and mean it.

Casual Affair [Shrader/Open]

Shrader: The little bud of purpling skin just to the side of her left eye didn't look as bad as it felt. That was how she wanted it. A little makeup--courtesy of Janette, when she saw--and it was just about invisible. Nothing wrong, nothing doing. Almost as if it hadn't happened at all. Duval had apologized, called her "baby girl," kissed her. It was all okay. It had been a mistake. A mishit, a stray swing. She didn't blame him, not at all. After all, she had gotten in the way. And he repaid her with kisses. Lovely, to her. Shrader tugged the too-big hoodie closer around her body--Billy's hoodie, the one he told her to hang onto after their last drive--buckling down against the biting cold. Campus was quiet this early. But she still prayed to see a friendly face.
