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.

[drought]

[ He sighs himself, leaning his forehead against the cool wall of the stall. He honestly doesn't understand, so why should he be feeling like the bad guy? It's frustrating. He steps out of the stall but stays behind and slightly to her side, looking at her in the mirror. ]

Could you just tell me something for once?

[ So it doesn't always feel like he's drowning? ]

[pools]

There's nothing to tell you.

[now she's just being difficult and she knows it. but really, what can she say? "oh I just suddenly had the urge to make out with you and potentially do other very inappropriate and probably terrifying things to you"? yeah. no.

the tap turns off and she grabs a towel, drying off her hands.]

Just pretend it didn't happen, okay? Jesus.

[drought]

[ She IS being difficult, and his frustration flares into anger. Isn't this exactly what he just asked her NOT to do? ]

Like hell I will. Because this is bullshit and you know it. You can't keep jerking me around and then expect me to know what's going on inside your head.

[ He's taken a couple of steps towards her before realizing it and halting. Now he's got his teeth sunk into it and he's not going to let go easily, because he's angry and vaguely hurt in a way that doesn't make sense. It isn't fair is the best explanation that he can come up with, and once he thinks that the whole thing just feels worse, unwinnable, untenable. ]

Sooner or later you're gonna have to choose one, because I'm getting really sick of it.

[pools]

[it still bothers her how she always gets a little nervous whenever he does get angry; especially now, when she has to resist the urge to instinctively back up against the sink.]

What the hell is your problem? I'm not expecting you to know what I'm thinking - I don't give a fuck about what you think of me.

[but that's not entirely true, because she does. which is stupid because she keeps digging the hole (haha) deeper and deeper and she can't get out of it.]

That's why I'm telling you to disregard it. Holy fuck, you don't have to make such a huge problem out of it. Here, I'll even take the blame - I'm sorry for molesting you, okay? Happy?

1/2

[drought]

No, I'm not happy. Maybe I want you to molest me but just give me five seconds of warning!

[drought]

[ ...Wait. ]




[ Shit. ]

DYING DYINGDYISDFKLGJSDFGHAHAHASKF 1/3

[pools]

3/4

[pools]

[h e h.

heheheh.]

[pools]

[she clears her throat, one eyebrow quirked.]

What was that? You like being molested and sexually harassed? Wow, Jori. So bold.

[drought]

[ And now it's his turn to be on the defensive. ]

I was just repeating the word you used.

[pools]

You're a shitty liar. Don't quit your day job.

[drought]

[ His slip of the tongue distracted him from his anger rather than completely quelled it and her response is just a little more fuel for the fire. Fine. He can challenge her right back.

He leans forward. ]

Then what, Tia? You want me to say yes? What would you do if I actually said, "Yeah, Tia, and I want you to take advantage of me right now"?

[pools]

[it's a good thing she still has a handle on her pokerface. have the most deadest of deadpans.]

Please, as if you could even handle it. I thought I was sucking face with the wall back there.

[drought]

[ ...She just had to push that button, didn't she? He's really not in the mood to deal with this.

So you know what? You're getting manhandled again, Tia, and he's not going to apologize for picking her up and perching her on the edge of the sink. He's not going to apologize for how insistent his hand is on the back of her neck. And he's definitely not going to apologize for kissing her, or for using his teeth on her lip. ]

i cant handle this thread

[pools]

[holy shit.

holy shit.

she really needs to stop baiting him, because honestly, she should know that he will never back down ever when it comes to these kinds of situations. it still takes her by surprise, hands clutching his shoulders with a squeak when he picks her up. she goes still when he kisses her - and okay, yeah, he has a point with the whole warning thing.

that doesn't mean she's going to concede right away, though. she kisses him back, hands moving up over his shoulders and looping around his neck.]

i don't even know what's happening anymore

[drought]

[ She has her own point, because as much as he likes kissing her (and he wasn't lying, he does enjoy this), it's definitely a thrill when she responds. So probably he should've ignored the confusion and gone with it the first time, but what the hell.

After a moment he has to break the kiss, but he doesn't pull back very far, their noses almost touching. His voice is low and still somewhat dangerous because there is only one right answer to this, he swears to God- ]

Is it working now?

sobbing

[pools]

[she actually nearly whines when he pulls away and his question doesn't really register in her brain at first. she looks a little dazed and it isn't until a moment later that she realizes that he was saying something. she blinks once, twice, three times:]

... Wait, what?

[drought]

[ He smirks. They are through the looking glass; this is bizarro world. ]

I'll take that as a yes.

[ He still hasn't pulled away, nor has his hand moved from her neck. ]

[pools]

[if she notices, she doesn't comment. she tilts her head, insistent frown still in place.]

No, tell me. What did you mean?

[drought]

You complained about it not working before. I wanted to make sure it was now.

[pools]

[hold on give her a moment.

... oh.]

Oh.

[pools]

... Oh.

[yeah.]

ok done for real

[pools]

I wasn't complaining.

[drought]

Then? Or now?
