WHEN YOU ARE THE ONE WHO LIES CLOSE TO ME

[unversed]

THE CATCHALL ROMANCE MEME

HOW WE ROLL:
> Post with your character, put name/fandom/etc in the subject line.
> Someone tags you with one of the scenarios listed below.
> "AND THEN THEY PORKED."
> PORNPROFIT.

THE DEETS:

ONE ➔ CONFESSION: You've been admiring this person from afar, or you've been friends with them for a while. Either way, you've finally worked up the courage to admit how you feel!

TWO ➔ LOVE NOTES: Send your crush personalized little love notes for them to find! Flick them at your crush, or hide them in their shoes! Draw pictures of you two kissing! Heck, even an old fashioned YES/NO checkbox note will do. But you've gotta get their attention with your written prowess! Get creative! Maybe they'll come up to you and you'll find true love!

THREE ➔ KISSING BOOTH: You're working a kissing booth, for whatever reason. Charity, for your school, or just because you got conned into it. But will something special bloom from a chance encounter with a booth guest? Or will you just be embarrassed for life, and punch your friends for getting you into this later?

FOUR ➔ LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT: You've been completely dazzled by this specific person! Your heart races, you have a cold sweat... whoa wtf is happening. You simply must get to know them! Maybe it was meant to be!

FIVE ➔ TSUNDERE STYLE: Sure, you like them, but you can't show that by being cute or cooking them lunch, hell no. You have to punch their shoulder and tug on their hair, obviously. W-what? They're complimenting you? Try not to blush too hard, or shove them too much.

SIX ➔ CAPULET & MONTAGUE STYLE: You're both already taken, or you simply can't be together for some reason! Your families hate each other, your friends hate each other, or you only see each other once a year! But you don't care, you have tonight, and romance is in the air. Maybe you can break away from what can't be, just for one night of fun and love.

SEVEN ➔ NEVER SAY NEVERO: You're super intent on making this person yours! You're willing to go to the extreme to garner their affections! How can they say no to extreme outbursts of love and other hard-to-ignore signs of affection? Though, it might be easier to just ask... but that's not big enough for your love!

EIGHT ➔ TLC: You suddenly feel blue, and you feel the need to be comforted. It's time for some sexual healing.

NINE ➔ SMOOTH OPERATOR: Flowers, candlelight, a bottle of champagne... it's time to woo your sweetheart!

TEN ➔ GRAB SOMEBODY SEXY TELL 'EM HEY: There's something about messing around in a public place, where anyone can walk in on you anytime. Try to keep quiet, the woman over in the bathroom stall next to you might hear you and your partner heating up and fooling around.

[lockandkeyblade]

[Riku may be lucky enough not to have met anyone he knows until, but that same luck is just about to run out. Sora happens by, wandering about and enjoying cotton candy purchased from another booth rather than seeking out his best friend. But when his eyes fall on a familiar face, there's no mistaking it.]

Riku?

CACKLES

[curepotion]

[ oh, fuck.

Riku looks up from turning the booth's sign from closed to open, and straightens, looking slightly disgruntled and red in color. ]

Oh, hey.

[ this isn't weird at all. see. not weird. ]

[lockandkeyblade]

[That surprise turns very easily into thinly veiled amusement. Sorry best friend. This is too good a find. This expression? Riku should know it. He's not going to forget this any time soon.]

Geeze, if I'd known you were gonna here, I might've dropped by sooner!

[Dutifully avoiding the subject that his best friend is manning a kissing booth. But that won't be for long, considering his tone of voice.]

[curepotion]

[ who was supposed to keep Sora away from the carnival?

... Tidus. he's going to kill Tidus. brutal murder. he's not even going to feel guilty about it. ]

What, and have you scare away all the customers?

[ he'll hit that subject before Sora can. ]

[lockandkeyblade]

[Sorry, pal. The guy you asked to keep Sora away from the booth is currently busy schmoozing with a certain blue and green-eyed brunette, that is. Good help is pretty hard to find nowadays.]

Who said I'd scare away any customers, huh?

Who knows- Maybe me being here might even help!

[curepotion]

[ for god's sake, he's really going to make sure Tidus gets a black eye.

Riku leans his stomach against the wood of his both, crossing his arms. ]

Help? How could you help?

[lockandkeyblade]

[Well, don't go too hard on the guy... there may be other circumstances at work here.

One of which is coming into play right now- Sora's never been able to keep his heart anywhere but on his sleeve. Riku sees right through him every time. But just once, he's hoping fervently that Riku won't notice that he's up to something.

He sounds like he wants to say one thing and then what comes out instead is:]

Oh you know. A little of this or that.

I'll even stick around in case you get bored.

[He hops up, sitting on the booth.]

[curepotion]

[ ... nope. Riku notices.

there, however, is a difference between Riku plainly noticing something (when he sits on the booth, Riku eyes him warily, as if asking 'what are you doing?') and actually, physically voicing it.

he never asks, but it looks like he wants to. if Sora pushes the matter, he might just do so. he, however, just lets out a light sigh and brushes his hair, shifting down to look at the money he's already collected from various girls (and a few boys). ]

Business is kind of booming. I don't think I'll get bored.

[rewritethesky]

[It was hard. It was stressful and it hurt. At first she had been very confused about these feelings and what she had heard around her, from her family, friends, pretty much the whole town. He was trouble. He'd hurt her, and yet...

As she sits near the pond, watching the moonlight reflected off it's surface, Namine can't help but curl up into a ball. Her cellphone is still in her hand, shaking from that text she just sent him. It was a bold move, and she is frightened about the result and whether he would even come or not. He had better things to do. Over people to deal with not...

...Not her. She's just a mouse and a wallflower. Nobody as important or as cool as he is. But, she is smitten. She can't explain it and she knows she shouldn't be in love with someone different from her. But she can't help it.

So, she sits and waits, curled up into that ball and listening to the crickets and gentle sounds of the pond.]

[curepotion]

[ someone as weak as her, his brothers had jeered. she was high class fragile, she was champagne glasses that were meant to be broken, not rough and tumble, valorous or brave. he let them talk with a glare in his eyes and a gun in his jacket pocket. his father simply shook his head and said she was a passing fancy and that he'd settle down with a strong woman who could handle the mean streets like he could.

she wasn't a passing fancy, though. she was... beautiful and refined and shy. she was different.

special.

he reads her text and is off flying on his motorcycle before he can even say goodbye; it takes little more than ten minutes to park somewhere close but far enough away from their spot. he walks up quietly, his hands pushed deep into his letterman's jacket as he stares at the ground. he looks up to see her. ]

You alright?

[rewritethesky]

[She began to uncurl herself when she had heard the roar of his motorcycle. It could have been anything driving past, but at this hour, the pond is so secluded and calm and quiet. Barely anyone but them makes the trek at night.

Not that she even should, really. It was a miracle that anyone let her even walk around the estate grounds on her own for just a stroll. Even if she wasn't involved with the events of the city, she still knew how to be sneaky, and knew the little spots where security was most lax where she could slip off.

It wasn't as if she didn't return. She always did, even if it was a little later than expected.

She glances up quickly when he approaches, a little relieved smile on her face. Smoothing out her long dress with her legs stretched out in front of her, she feels a little shy again.]

I'm okay. I... [Even thought they'd seen each other before and talked before, it was still hard to say that she just wanted to see him for sake of seeing him. But she's definitely feeling bold tonight, after such a rough day, and smiles again.]

I just thought we... that we could spend the beautiful night together.

[curepotion]

[ ... she really does look like a vision in the night like this. His eyes become kinder when she speaks, and instead of towering over her, he draws close and kneels, crawling. he only stops and sits back on his haunches when he's a few inches from her. there's a light curve of a smile on his lips, and he brushes a hand into his tangled long hair with a chuckle. ]

Why not? [ his hands come to cover one of hers. ] Love to.

[rewritethesky]

[Her smile is shy and it's hard to see the light flush in her cheeks in the pale moonlight. There's something so nice and refreshing about him, not quite like the other boys that tried to court her. She couldn't talk to them like she could easily with Riku, and when she slips her hand to better be able to grip his. They feel calloused and rough, but his grip is gentle.]

Good. And I'm sorry if I worried you at all. Chances like these are just... too rare.

[curepotion]

[ he smiles slightly, and bumps his head lightly, affectionately, against her head with a soft laugh. he's different around her. he would frown at being called lovestruck, probably with some sort of bashful blush--he just... wanted to be gentle with her. she deserved it. he wasn't as brash as everyone thought he was. the hidden sweetness was there.

it took Namine's soft touch to bring it out. ]

You always worry me. [ he says with a wry smile. ] Don't feel bad, though. It's a good kind of worry.

[ he shifts to sit by her. ]

[rewritethesky]

[She doesn't duck out of the way, but does gasp lightly and her blush deepens. It's so nice having someone that new how to be playful sometimes. She didn't mind people treating her with such fragility, but it was so common and tiresome. A gentle playfulness was nice to have.

She scoots just a little bit closer to him but still left a little bit of distance between them and tucked her legs under herself.]

If you're sure. How are things going?

[curepotion]

Boring, as usual. I'm tired of being cooped up doing one thing over and over.

[ he sighed quietly as he confessed his irritation to her, eyes drifting towards the lit surface of the pond. ]

What about you?

10 B) the rng knows

[shutupandwalk]

[Sup, Riku. Hope you weren't planning on doing anything important between classes because Joshua has other plans for you. You liked being pinned against walls, right?]

Hello dear~

welp XD

[curepotion]

[ ow that sort of--

oh, okay. he was sort of okay with this... maybe. he places his hands on Joshua's shoulders, pushing him back a little. or trying. ]

Hey.

... you know this wing is being renovated, right?

[ almost as soon as it leaves his lips, Riku almost smacks himself.

that might be a reason Joshua's pinning him with a certain gleam in his eye, yes. ]

>:3

[shutupandwalk]

Mm, well that's convenient then, isn't it~? [He knew. He totally knew and is just playing with Riku like always. By the way, that pushing thing doesn't work. If anything he appears to be a little closer.]

[curepotion]

[ this really doesn't make sense.

Riku's stronger than Joshua. why is he closer. is the blond doing a stupid power play again. why does this always happen to him, and why does it always feel good? ]

Yeah. I guess.

Convenient.

[shutupandwalk]

[Well if you didn't like his answer, you shouldn't have asked the question. And since you're all nice and pretty against the wall, have a kiss. Simple enough for now, but...]

[curepotion]

[ ... a kiss he can deal with, and does, laying a hand on Joshua's waist to kiss back. ]

[shutupandwalk]

[Good boy. Joshua reaches up, acting as if he's just going to push Riku's bangs out of his face, but this is quickly proven wrong as he scraps his nails across the silver haired boy's scalp.]

[curepotion]

Fuck you--

[ he gasps out against Joshua's lips, moaning as his body tenses. his hand tightens on his shoulder. ]
