Prompt: Soldier verse idea: Mary Margaret asks Regina which toys they use because she wants to spice things up, Regina is confused by the word toys at first ...

Mary Margaret was nervous. She was trying to hide it but Regina knew her friend really well and recognized her tells. Inability to sit still? Check. Twisting her wedding ring around her finger? Check. Unable to focus her eyes anywhere? Check.

Something was definitely bothering her.

Regina just didn't know what it was.

After watching her friend absentmindedly pick up the salt rather than the sugar for her coffee, Regina decided to intervene. She reached out, gently stopping Mary Margaret before she ruined her beverage. "What's wrong?"

"What?" Mary Margaret asked, blinking a couple times as if Regina had just woken her up.

"Something is bothering you," Regina replied. "What is it?"

Mary Margaret averted her eyes, shaking her head. "Nothing."

Regina raised an eyebrow. "Really? So you want to put salt in your coffee?"

"What?" Mary Margaret finally looked down at the shaker in her hand and sighed. As she placed it back on the table, she admitted: "Okay, something is bothering me."

"Clearly," Regina replied, sipping her coffee as she raised her eyebrows. She waited for her friend to start talking again.

Mary Margaret sighed and finally put sugar in her coffee. She didn't sip it though. Instead, she asked: "What kind of toys do you use?"

Regina frowned, deciding to put her mug down rather than sip her coffee. "Toys? Like for the kids?"

"No," Mary Margaret replied, fidgeting in her chair. "Like for adults."

It took Regina a few more minutes to realize what her friend was asking. Surprise filled her as she asked: "Are you asking what I think you're asking?"

Mary Margaret nodded before taking a deep breath. "What kind of sex toys do you and Robin use?"

"Oh," Regina replied. It wasn't as if she and Mary Margaret had never discussed their sex lives before - though there were some things about David she would've been happy to have never known - but they hadn't really discussed tips or techniques. She was surprised Mary Margaret was asking such a question and felt she needed to know more.

Pink tinged Mary Margaret's cheeks as she stared at her cup. "Things have gotten…stagnant…in the bedroom. And I mean, it's been several years and we have two children…I just want to spice things up, you know?"

"I understand that," Regina said, because she did. It was easy to fall into a routine and just get it over with quickly - especially with children who could demand their attention at any moment.

"So…what do you and Robin use?" Mary Margaret asked again.

"Oh," Regina replied. "Except for my vibrator, we don't really use toys."

Mary Margaret gaped at her. "You use your vibrator when you and Robin are…you know?"

Biting back her sarcastic comment over her friend's sudden aversion to the word "sex," Regina nodded. "Most women can't just orgasm from penetration alone."

Mary Margaret hastily sipped her tea, which made Regina suspicious. She decided to let it pass as Mary Margaret then asked: "So, how do you two spice things up in the bedroom?"

"We use other methods," Regina replied. "We like to roleplay sometimes…"

"Roleplay?" Mary Margaret asked, sounding intrigued as her eyes widened. "Like what?"

Regina grew a little bit uncomfortable, feeling as if she were violating the intimacy between her and Robin by talking about what scenarios they used in the bedroom. But it was just Mary Margaret and it seemed it would help her and David.

"Well, he likes to play a new recruit and I play a drill sergeant," Regina started. "I also like to dress up as a sexy maid."

Mary Margaret's eyebrow went up. "Sexy maid? You?"

"It's just a role," Regina replied. "We like to change up the dynamics to spice it up."

"Hmm, I guess we'll have to look into it. Though I'm not much of an actress," Mary Margaret said.

Regina chuckled. "Neither am I. It's not about the acting. It's about the feelings. Let yourself feel sexy."

She paused, thinking about some of her favorite moments with Robin. From pretending she was a cop and he was a naughty thief who needed to be taught a lesson to pretending she was an exotic dancer and he was some stranger passing through her theater to even times when she would do a strip tease for him. Her body started to respond, a familiar wetness forming between her legs. She licked her lips, suddenly eager to get home so she could get her husband naked.

"Just feel sexy," Mary Margaret mused. "Thank you, Regina. You've definitely given me a lot to think about."

"I hope it helps," Regina replied, hoping she didn't look as fidgety as she felt. She didn't want to just bolt on her friend and so forced herself to finish her tea as well as make some more small talk until she could excuse herself.

Once she left, she quickly returned to her house. She found Robin sitting at the kitchen table, going through some bills. The house was silent but she wanted to make sure. "Where are the children?"

"Out," he replied. "Off with friends. Why?"

She stepped closer, pushing his chair back before straddling him. Unbuttoning his shirt, she gave him a coy smile. "Because I want to do things with you that we definitely don't want an audience for."

He swallowed, his hands going to cup her ass as his eyes darkened. "Is that so?"

"Oh, yes," she said before kissing his neck. She rolled her hips, grinding against him to emphasize her point.

"Then we should probably get to the bedroom pronto." He stood, holding her as she continued to kiss his neck. She wrapped her legs around him and he carried her upstairs.

It took some stumbling but they made it to their bedroom, laughing between kisses. He laid her on the bed, pulling off his shirt after she had unbuttoned it on the way up. Robin let it fall as he climbed onto the bed. "I don't know what you and Mary Margaret were talking about but I'm not complaining," he said, tugging on her shirt.

"Good," she said, tugging on his belt buckle. "Now shut up and fuck me before the kids come home."

Together, they got his pants off and started to work on hers. As Robin kissed his way down Regina's body, she closed her eyes and smiled. She was grateful that Robin was her partner and that they always found ways to keep the spark going between them in the bedroom.

She was very, very lucky.
