➔ And yes, this is a combination of several love memes, and grab bag memes!

THE THEMES

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

TWO ➔ YANDERE STYLE: I think we all know how this goes. You're sweet on your crush when they're focused on you, making them lunch with rice balls with smiles... aw... wait, are they looking at another cute person?! THEY'RE ONLY ALLOWED TO LOOK AT ME.

THREE ➔ 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!

FOUR ➔ SEVEN MINUTES IN HEAVEN: You're locked in a closet with someone else! It can be a crush, a friend, a boyfriend, whatever! But whoever it is, you're locked in a closet with them with the intent to kiss. Will you go through with it? Will it end up in romance? Or will it end up as a B-B-B-BAD ROMANCE?

FIVE ➔ 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?

SIX ➔ IT'S A DARE: You've been dared by someone to romance this specific person! You're not allowed to tell that it's a dare, and you must seem earnest. Will you be able to make them swoon from your charms? Or will you fall into love's trap, and fall head over heels for real?

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

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

NINE ➔ IT CAN NEVER BE: 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.

TEN ➔ NEVER SAY NO: 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!

RATED R

ELEVEN ➔ THE KISSING DISEASE: You simply must kiss this person. You have to get your lips on them somehow, anywhere, everywhere. Even if you have to push them into an empty closet and lock the door to do so!

TWELVE ➔ DRUNKEN ENCOUNTER: You both met up, drunk, and you're both feeling a little bit adventurous thanks to the booze. Are you ready to get down and dirty on a beach, or do you want to vandalize something a bit before barging into a hotel room? The choice is, drunkenly, yours!

THIRTEEN ➔ OBSESSION: You're so obsessed with this person, you want them so badly -- you're willing to do just about anything to get them. Manipulate, pretend, tie them up, make them yours! You're driven by your desire!

FOURTEEN ➔ IN PUBLIC?!: 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.

FIFTEEN ➔ HANDS: Hey, woah! Your hands just happen to keep drifting to "inappropriate places"! You might not realize it, or it might be fully intentional! Whatever it is, it's happening! Maybe your partner will simply brush you off, or maybe they'll suggest you two scadattle off to a room!

( r rating will be tricky but is doable. )

Janet didn't often admit to a little crush, especially when she was so busy trying to prove herself worthy of her place, being younger than everyone else on the team. But love notes seemed sufficient for now. More like cheesy, handwritten pickup lines. At least it was an excuse to use all that stationary she was given.

Today's note to Bruce went as such: ,You’re so gneiss I’ll never take you for granite. ;)

At first the notes just caused him some confusion, a less exhausting mystery to solved than those of gamma radiation. They tended to make him laugh, followed by some uncomfortableness because he honestly doesn't know who would leave them. He's of the opinion it's Tony screwing with him - maybe his next endeavour after turning him into a team player is getting him into the dating game, which is roughly one hundred times more futile a cause, but for Tony this is a relatively harmless way to go about, well, anything, and a good science pun never goes unappreciated around Dr. Banner, so he lets it continue.

This one is particularly cheesy and he chuckles as he folds it up. "That's bad," he says to no one in particular. This has to be Tony. He doesn't really want to think about what to do if it's not. Too awkward. Too awkward and impossible. Too many smart women on the team for one of them to fancy the Hulk.

Bad? Puffing her bangs away from her eyes, she sighs. Janet thought it funny, this time around. Unlike Tony, she could try to be subtle. She had been making a point of slipping in science jokes here and there in hopes of getting a chuckle out of him. Successes were personal victories. She peers around the door with her hands wrapped around two coffees.

"Bad?" she echoes as she pokes her head around the corner, casual as ever. "What's bad?"

Innocent, ever so innocent.

He looks up as he tucks the slip into the stack of papers he's intending to bring with him to another table, closer to the monitor he prefers to work at. Turning's good, as is swatting information around the room, but he's old-fashioned, he supposes, in being basically okay with one screen given the choice. It's just a friendly prank she's inquiring about but he doesn't feel like telling anyone about it. Not entirely innocent if you have to hide it, but Bruce excels at secrets.

"Nothing," he says, but it's not hasty; doesn't sound like a lie. Ultimately, it really is nothing, anyway. "Just something Tony said." He eyes one of the coffee cups, raising his eyebrows.

Awkward chuckle. "That Stark. Hah, always a jokester," she chuckles. Janet shifts her weight from one foot to the other, clearing her throat when he lifts his eyebrows.

"Ordered a bunch of boxes of joe, didn't want you to miss out," she offers, tapping the cup in her left hand. "Wasn't sure how you take it, so I brought packets of everything." That wasn't weird right? It's what thoughtful team members do, right? Well.

"Hey, thanks," he says as he accepts it. "Thoughtful" doesn't exactly describe most members of the team, so he really wouldn't know, but it's a nice surprise and he definitely appreciates it. He's not a huge coffee drinker unless he really needs the boost and there's some free trade beans around. He sips at the American brew. Strong and sharp, kind of nostalgic.

"Sugar's not really my thing, for obvious reasons." Very slight smile, chock full of self-deprecation. Black's good enough for him. "So, you settled in?"

Janet is thoughtful, at least. Most of the time.

"Right, no sugar, I got it." She nods a few times and smiles into her cup, closing her eyes as she feels the steam wash over her cheeks and chin. Then, a small sip. Light and sweet, just as she likes it.

"As well as you can settle around here. Super weird considering that I'd never seen myself as an avenger of anything." She laughs sheepishly to herself, grinning at him shyly over the top of her cup.

He inclines his head with a half-cynical conciliatory expression. "I think we've all been there." Difference is, they had to go through it alone. Janet's chances are a lot better - which is good, because he wants her to stay like she is. She's not as jaded as the rest of them, even Cap. She's a breath of fresh air sometimes, especially because SHIELD agents tend to walk on eggshells around him. Maybe they'll eventually get comfortable with the fact that he's, you know, Dr. Jekyll. Maybe they won't and that's probably just as well.

He sips his coffee again, then hefts the bundle of papers up in one harm and heads over to the desk at which he usually works with his head down. "People calling you a hero, doesn't mean much if you don't believe it yourself." Pause. Dryly, "I assume."

Janet certainly has her own mission and reason for being here, and the fact that she's so green makes her feel as if she doesn't actually deserve to be here with the rest of them. It isn't as if they have had any "bonding time" so she's had to learn about everyone else on her own. Bruce is particularly intriguing to her, but that isn't why she continues to leave him silly notes.

"Not today," she says airily with a shrug of her shoulder. "One day, though. That would be pretty boss, if you ask me."

Clearing her throat, "Sorry, am I bothering you?"

Yeah. Pretty boss.

He straightens up and focuses on her again. Great, make one of the generally nicer people around here apologise. Well done, Banner. "No, you're not. I just, uh -" How to put this. "My company's not really highly sought after." He leans back against the desk. Honestly, he hadn't thought she'd want to just talk. He's not the most interesting member of the team, but he is one of the most potentially volatile. Not an alluring mix. He and the others had their whole unifying experience thing during the battle for Manhattan; he doesn't expect the same (relative) ease of rapport he has with them as with their newer member.

Aw, Bruce, she just doesn't want to be, well, a pest... being the Wasp and all.

"Oh, okay, I just - wanted to say 'hello,'" she sighs with a crooked smile. She likes the science types, clearly, having been around it for most of her life. And she isn't particularly on guard at this moment either, investing a bit of faith in her own abilities and Bruce's. But she chose to gain those abilities while he didn't. And that's what piques her curiosity.

"Just wondering, you know, how you are, that's all." Was that a dumb question to ask? She hoped not.

Nope, but one he's typically asked during some kind of escalation, not in a period of total down time. It's totally normal, actually, which is what makes it weird. Story of Bruce's life.

"Good, I guess," he says, grabbing his coffee from the table and unsure if that's the best answer. "I've got all Stark's toys to play with, all the funding I could ever need, and a universe to analyse that just got a whole lot bigger." And a secret admirer - not. "I'm a kid in a candyshop. A kid surrounded by highly trained killers ready to take him down the second he throws a tantrum." Wince. "Lost the metaphor there."

Janet winces too, mostly because he did so.

"I still got it, metaphor or not," she assures him. Self-deprecation she can handle, though it might make some uncomfortable. Namely when it's coming from someone who can turn into a huge green rage-monster. But so far, he's relatively chill, as is she.

"Stark is pretty thrilled that you've been on board, from what i gather," she ventures for further conversation, even stepping into the room past the doorway.

Yeah, no kidding. His personal life coach, over here. Bruce laughs, though, because he likes Tony. From what he hears, he's the only one who thought Bruce would show up when Loki's horde rolled in. More than thought - treated it as inevitable. Nobody has had that kind of faith in him in since... Well, feels like longer than he can remember, sometimes.

"I think he just likes having someone around who understands him when he goes off on a clean energy tangent, or he's worked out some new repulsor tech." That and they've got some kind of odd two-sides-of-the-same-coin thing going on. "And you know how much he likes pushing peoples' buttons. Mine's basically the big bad red one." Eyebrows. "He hasn't been giving you a hard time, has he?"

"Not too much, thankfully! I mean, he knew my dad," she pauses for a moment of reflection, as she is prone to do when he comes up in recent conversation. "I think he still sees me as this silly kid who partied a lot." But she also supposes he understands cracking under pressure when your parent sets the standard.

"Keeps calling me things along the lines of pint-sized, little nugget, those kinds of things." Janet chuckles again. She doesn't mind it if it's true, especially since she is short in stature without the Pym Particles. Doesn't quite cut an imposing figure in the Avengers line-up.

He nods solemnly at the mention of her father. Bruce wishes he'd gotten a chance to meet him before... He tries not to think of the people he didn't save by not showing up earlier, and think instead about the people he saved by showing up at all. Not always easy, but it shouldn't be.

"I'd say it just means you're part of the team, but with Tony, it pretty much just means he's talking to you." Loves his nicknames, Tony. "You're doing good though. I mean, I'm impressed." Whatever that's good for. Can you blame him? He was mildly terrified the first time she went into the field, but she packs quite a powerful if tiny punch.

Nicknames she can handle. She probably likes them more than say, Cap, but then again, Tony tends to reserve his 'best' nicknames for hi.

She straightens her posture and grins even brighter at his compliment, feeling a swell of pride in her chest. "Well, thanks! I - I totally appreciate hearing that. I mean, like - everyone needs a boast now and then." Or all the time. Janet is always seeking constant reassurance whether she intends for it or not. "I can't say I mind impressing people." And a small, girlish giggle.

See? That'd be why. Not like he'd ever say it - to her or anyone - but she's so cute. More of a cheerleader than a quarterback at first glance. But appearances can be deceiving, and he's gotta admire the fact that she took the leap and ultimately came out on top. (Also reminds him of how badly he failed, but dwelling won't do you no good. He's only bitter towards her when he's feeling low. Happens less often these days.)

"Your coffee's gonna get cold," he warns, friendly. Kind of flattered he's distracted her enough that's even a possibility, but he locks down on that real quick. He'll blame it on the notes, which - oh crap, which would be lying in the middle of the floor now. He doesn't know if he should call attention to it or just leave it there.

So he'll just be awkward.

Janet has gotten by on being cute and eagerly accepts compliments - and she wouldn't mind hearing it from him, especially since she now knows he also respects her fighting skills. And she certainly respects him in return, despite what he might ever tell himself.

"Oh, shoot," she laughs, sipping it to test. Lukewarm. Not bad. "I guess I'd be okay with iced coffee too." Quickly, her eyes follow Bruce's glance to the note and back to his awkward stance. Oops. She'll try to play it cool and stoops to pick up the crumpled piece of paper with the neat scrawl, decidedly making a show of not reading it and instead, handing it to him.

"Might be of, uh, some importance." Ha.

"Trust me, it's not." Get over it, Bruce. Be a big man and toss it out. So he does, with a shrug. The romantic part of his life is effectively dead, no matter what Tony thinks; there's really no reason to keep reminders around if all he's gonna do is agonise over it. If it were real, why would it be for him? He's generally the scruffiest and least kempt of the team, and practically doesn't even exist standing between Thor and Steve. And the anger issues, not exactly every woman's dream. "Just someone messing with me."

"I... wouldn't say that," she replies nervously, shifting her weight from foot to foot once more. Her lips twitch into an anxious smile and she quickly hides that, setting down her now finished coffee and reapplying lip gloss, a tube always in her back pocket.

"I mean - you never know?" Janet tries. She never intended on revealing herself so soon, but, well, since she's here ...

He gives her a little smile for her effort, sips his coffee before he raises his eyes again. He's really not the most astute when it comes to women, but he does notice the lipgloss. Not many people in SHIELD wear lipgloss, so it's plenty noticeable. His gaze becomes more appraising.

"I guess it's not impossible. Aliens and magic exist, after all." He'd liken it more to flying pigs though.

"Exactly. And there's always someone for someone else. That's what I think."

She evens the bright pink stuff over her lips before grinning at him again, certainly unashamed of her girlishness, despite her current work and location. (A little color never hurt anyone.)

"You think Tony sent those to you? Because that handwriting doesn't look particularly ... Starkesque."

She's given herself away now, but his mind's only processed up to a possible accomplice, not legitimate interest.

"I never told you what it said." He's amused, actually. Okay, it's a team effort. That makes it less obnoxious. And the idea of the two of them working together? Well, it's nice to finally have some levity around here, even if it's at his expense.

Janet can bring him the adorable any day.

She's a believer in the importance of towels though.
