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.

[pools]

... You know I was only being half-serious about that.

[because, you know, Jori's good at almost everything it's no surprise he'd be good in bed too. B|]

[drought]

[ There are definitely things that he's bad at. He just tries not to do those around her. ]

Yeah. I was just worried. I wanted you to... [ there is no good way to say it. ]

It was important, that's all.

[pools]

... Wanted me to?

[drought]

...Not regret anything.

[ That'd do. ]

[pools]

[it's almost a little strange, hearing that from him. with all his complaints and all the arguments they get into, she thought he'd be the one to regret this. despite the fact that this is his house and he was kind of the one that got them here in the first place.

it's a little funny and a little heartwarming: she's not the only one that's uncertain.]

You know that I never regret anything I do.

[drought]

This is a little different.

[pools]

Is it?

[drought]

Don't you think so? Because it's the two of us?

[ Because it's not like they can be apart from each other until they retire or one of them dies? ]

[pools]

... Do you regret any of it?

Do you think you'll regret any of it?

[drought]

No. Wouldn't have done it if I had.

[pools]

It's the same for me as well.

[maybe it's been this way from the beginning: the moment she met Jori and Mag, she knew she would never be able to leave.]

[drought]

[ He just has your history of tsun to go on, Tia. He doesn't always know what's true and what's bravado, and like he said, this is important to him. It was important to get it right. ]

That's fine then. Better than fine. I just don't want to hurt you.

[ possible irony alert ]

[pools]

[and she'll probably keep being tsun. forever. but she will work on it, okay. honest.

there's a huff of laughter:]

I think you'd have more luck with actually standing waist-deep in water for more than three minutes.

[drought]

I guess that's a good thing.

[ He isn't so sure. It's true that he's not going to try and hurt her, but he's pretty sure he could. As long as her confidence doesn't lead to carelessness, well then... ]

[pools]

Aren't you supposed to be the optimistic one here?

[physically, she'll always be confident she can hold her own against him (which is still pretty foolish, but whatever). emotionally, she knows he knows how to hurt her. but she also knows he's the type to do almost everything in his power to prevent that. and there's the other part of her that wants to believe, that it'll work out somehow. that it'll be okay.

that this is okay.]

[drought]

[ His lips curve up into a smile. ]

You do always say I'm an idiot with it. Just wanted you to know that I'm taking it seriously.

[pools]

I guess this is the one time where you aren't being an idiot with it, then.

[which gets a small smile from her too.]

I know you are.

[drought]

At least I'm using the one time on something good.

So are we even on the secrets thing now?

wow this isn't late at all (you totes don't have to respond to this ok)

[pools]

For now, yeah.

except for the part where i love you and these two

[drought]

I don't think that bodes well for me.

[ And yet somehow he doesn't care. ]

Is this where I get to be the good host and ask if you want anything?

[pools]

[she shrugs]

I've got you, so I'm good.

[and here she'll just snuggle closer to him, tucking her head under his chin. who knew she could be such a cuddle bug.]

[drought]

You're suddenly easy to please.

[ He certainly didn't, and it's an interesting surprise. Not a bad one! This is not a scenario he ever imagined he'd be in. His arm wraps around her, hand resting on her back as he holds her. ]

It's not like you can get lost if you change your mind anyway.

[pools]

[ his hand on her back is warm and comforting, and she thinks she could probably fall asleep like this if she really wanted to. she makes a little grumble at that, shaking her head. ]

I just can't think of anything, that's all.

[drought]

You don't need to. All I care about is that you're happy.

[pools]

[ she just lightly brushes her lips against his neck in response. ]

Are you happy?
