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 looks up at that touch (but more due to that voice), glancing at Mag through his bangs. He's your only male guardian. ]

I think I'm okay with that.

[ozone]

[ and he's the male guardian she loves most. ]

Really? You won't be disappointed? Or, rather, you're not even worried that I might be?

[drought]

[ And she knows just how to push his buttons. He sits up straighter. ]

Of course I'm worried about that!

[ozone]

[ she smiles again. ]

I'm not disappointed.

[ then she opens her cute little purse and fishes out a couple of bills, placing them on the counter. ]

After all, you've a customer already.

[drought]

[ He stares at the bills on the counter, then up at her. This is not connecting in his head. As in, he literally cannot draw a line between Mag, the money, and what it means, even though he should know it. She could've pulled a gun on him and he would've been less surprised. ]

...You?

[ozone]

[ a small, quiet laugh. ]

Yes, dear heart.

[drought]

[ A rough stampede of emotions fly over his face. He's pleased by the affection and embarrassed by the laugh, nervous about this and desperate to do it right. Which would help if he wasn't utterly confused on the "right" part of it. ]

Uh, you get to pick where, right? Nobody ever really told me how this works...

[ozone]

[ her amusement is evident when she tilts her head in thought for a moment. oh jori, you are truly her favorite giant. ]

I'm just as green as you are. Well, first off, could you lean down, just a bit?

[drought]

[ At least one of them is having fun. He'll be okay once the panic dies down a little. ]

-Oh! Oh, sure.

[ He leans down until his face is level with hers. At least he trusts her completely. ]

[ozone]

[ she gently takes his face in both her hands, then, without bothering to wait for him to indicate any sort of readiness, she stands on tiptoe and sweetly kisses him on the forehead. ]

[drought]

[ He was expecting something like this, or a kiss to the cheek, so there's nothing but a small, embarrassed (but pleased!) smile. He's a little tongue-tied, but that's mostly because he has absolutely no clue what to say. "Thank you" doesn't seem right, considering she just paid him for that. ]

Was there anything else?

[ozone]

[ she shakes her head, holding a hand to her mouth to half conceal her tender expression. she knows she's not one to display her affection often, considering she used to be a fierce and mighty dragon; but when she does, it makes her feel inexplicably warm and fuzzy. ]

That's all. Thank you, Jori.

[drought]

You're welcome.

[ He almost asks if he can do that sometime - kiss her on the forehead - but he decides not to. Maybe he can ask her later. He doesn't want to lose this feeling he has right now. He wants to keep it close to his chest until it dissipates, and not ruin it if she says no. For now, this is enough. ]

[ozone]

[ she lingers a bit, though. ]

You don't mind if I stay, do you?

[drought]

[ That is also good to him; he's just used to her leaving like the wind. ]

No, of course not! Just don't sit behind the booth, okay?

[ He's joking. He really is in a good mood. ]

[ozone]

[ she feigns surprise. ]

You don't want me to sit next to you?

[drought]

[ Poor Jori. He hurries to correct the "misunderstanding". ]

No, it's not that, I just don't want anyone to accidentally think that you're working at the booth.

[ozone]

[ jori your mama is mean sometimes. ]

I see. It seems like fun, though.

[drought]

[ Except he doesn't know it. Not in this sense, at least. ]

Um. I guess if you get the right people, it could be.

[ozone]

[ she'll make sure he never knows. ]

Are you allowed to refuse service?

[drought]

[ His life. ]

I guess, if you refused the money. But then you wouldn't make any.

[ozone]

[ mama loves you ]

Are you going to kiss anyone?

[drought]

[ It does make everything better. ]

...Maybe? I'd rather kiss them on the cheek.

[ozone]

That's not really up to you, though, is it?

[drought]

No, that's the problem.

[ This frown. ]
