You and The Deep had been secretly dating long before you joined Vought. While Homelander and some of The Seven likely had their suspicions, the public and media had no idea about your relationship—until one night changed everything.

The Seven had been invited to an event. You weren’t entirely sure what the occasion was—probably celebrating something. Everyone was dancing and having fun, including you and Deep. You two were laughing and swaying together until the music shifted to a slower, more intimate song. The mood changed, and you found yourselves dancing closer. Your hands rested on his shoulders, and his gently settled on your waist as you both swayed and locked eyes.

Things got romantic fast, and before either of you thought about it, Deep leaned in and kissed you, completely forgetting about the cameras and paparazzi. They caught the moment instantly, snapping photos of you two mid-kiss.

The next morning, you woke up next to Deep, as usual when he stayed over. He looked unusually pale, scrolling through his phone with wide eyes.

“What’s going on?” you mumbled, still half-asleep. He moved closer and showed you the most trending photo on the internet—of you two kissing at the event the night before. “Well.. we’re f**ked” he said looking at the picture.

Well, that wasn’t good. Now everyone knew about you, and you were both in the center of attention. And knowing how Homelander was… this is going to be a problem.
