Romantic Attempt

[knitsock]

ROMANTIC ATTEMPT Let's face it: you're bad at this whole "romantic affection" thing. Really, that's being generous. You suck abysmally at it. Still, you've found yourself in something resembling a human relationship, somehow, and you feel like you either have or want to show you care. Uhm, congrats. I'm sure this is going to work out well for you! Just kidding. Be it a physical gesture, kind words directed their way, or a gift, you're going to screw this up, most likely. Screw it up badly. Hopefully, they'll be charmed by you at least trying and won't be offended. Fingers crossed. Comment with your character, info, preferences, and desired role: either the one pulling the attempt or the unwitting significant other. Reply to others. Thread.

[[Got to be honest here, she'll be the one pulling the bad attempt at romance. Because sand baby fails at this kind of stuff, but darn it, she's so cute at it.]]

(Ooc: Are OCs okay? Sand baby's awkward fail sounds adorable)

[ open to either, but Chuck is gonna fail at humaning either way lol ]

[darthvaderfanboy]

[OOC: So I know we've got like four threads already, but Kylo awkwardly trying to romance Hux paints a beautiful, full of fail picture in my head. Let me know if this works!]

[Kylo Ren had decide that he was most definitely not suited for romance. It was bad enough to fall in love with the person who he both simultaneously hated and adored with the burning passion of a thousand suns, but the real dilemma came when he took a step back and thought "Now what?" Exactly how was he supposed to get through that cool, professional exterior and show him how he really felt?

Well, logically, the thing Hux cared about most was seeing that the First Order succeeded. So, by extension, if Kylo did his absolute best to help the Order succeed, Hux was sure to take notice of his affections. Thus, it had come to this particular situation: Kylo Ren standing in the middle of a destroyed Rebel outposts, bodies and chaos strewn about him, lightsaber drawn, and staring expectantly at the general like a dog waiting for praise from its master.]

[ooc: you know that she'll screw it up, do you?]

Sawamura...

[Shimizu only wanted to give him a slice of watermelon. But the beef, the eggplants, and two bowls of rice she'd eaten went right into her head and taken over the lead over her brain. The picturesque sunset didn't help, either.]

Do you have a moment? I'd like to ask something...something personal.

[She gave her the melon and her own plate with the last piece of beef.]

hi c:

[sturdythighs]

[Why does she let herself be talked into these situations? #1 Yui problem right there.

Sure, she kind of had a teeny tiny really humongous crush on Sawamura, keeps it a very well-known hidden secret from him and hopes that he never really... hopefully... someday will catch on to it. Look, it's not easy having a crush on a childhood friend, especially one who is cool and calm like she never is and probably likes the manager of his team more? She doesn't know, she's never really asked and she was kind of not really but sorta but maybe not content about staying as friends.

Anyway.

The point is, she was totally (not) content about just being friends, you know? No pressure, no issues, they can chat and get along and stuff without the awkward awkwardness of confessing. Except, you know, she also had really (evil) good friends who look out for her and encourage (more like demand for) her to just go for it. What's a little gift after all? On... that day... that really sort of makes it obvious that she might have a crush on him...?

Or tl;dr Yui is trying not to freak out as she holds onto homemade chocolates while waiting for Sawamura to be alone (not with the team!) for just a few seconds before she can talk to him. Can she run off yet? She's kind of ready to, being stuck outside the gym just waiting for him to come out because she didn't write a letter like normal people do and instead is just trying not to be obvious about what she's doing. Yep.]

Kylo Ren | Star Wars

[darthvaderfanboy]

[Let's face it. Any romance with this guy is doomed to awkwardness and failure.]

[sivispacemparabellum]

(ooc: Are OCs okay? Because the combination of Mr. Anger Management Issues with a Force-sensitive diplomat/spy working for the First Order could be all sorts of hilariously awkward)

DATING. START?????

[ex_mettacrusher33]

[What a wonderful morning. The sun is out. The birds are singing. Flowers are blooming. It's the perfect weather to roll yourself into the house of the person you've been claiming for an entire two months to every single person that asked that you had zero interest in.

At least he now knows that if several drunken dramatic meltdowns in front of your crush's brother can make you do anything, it's this. 'This' being waiting outside of their bedroom door with concert tickets to your own show until they decide to leave. And then this:]

WHAT A COINCIDENCE RUNNING INTO YOU HERE, GORGEOUS. [NO.] I... HAHA, OF COURSE, THAT'S. HA. AH. [WHY ARE YOU JUST SHOVING THE TICKETS IN HIS FACE, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU.] IT'S ME! A PRESENT! [S T O P]

Veissk Graeff - Star Wars (Closed, tw: gore and animal pain/death)

[lunarscales]

The sight of Veissk this morning is enough to send even her friends running. She's pacing through the base on all fours, her mechanic's coveralls splashed and splattered with blood. And there's...something dangling from her mouth. Something that still occasionally squeals and struggles violently, trying to escape, in spite of the fact that it's missing a limb and bears deep, horrific wounds.

It's just as well that no one feels like stopping her, really. She's just finished her morning hunt, and this one has more purpose than sating her hunger and predatory instincts. This--this is to cement a bond formed newly the day before, which is why the animal in her jaws is something largish, something with a carnivore's claws and fangs, and something still alive.

She pads into her quarters, a place that feels much warmer, much happier now that she knows she'll be sharing them with Wedge all the time. And speaking of the Corellian pilot, there he lies, unsuspectingly asleep; she'd gotten up extra early so she'd be sure and be back before he woke. She wants to surprise him.

After all, she doesn't know a lot about her species' customs and cultures, but this is one thing she does know; the traditional way for Trandoshan hunters to seal their bond as mates. And what are they both if not hunters, each in their own way?

She carefully climbs into the bed, looming over Wedge where he sleeps. She grins a little, and opens her jaws, letting the half alive beast drop onto his chest (It's almost the size of his torso, at that). The squeal of utter agony it produces is enough to wake the dead, but just in case Wedge is more deeply asleep than that, it also thrashes and writhes on top of him, painting his skin with hot blood.

"Surprise!"

[yowaizumi]

<sub>[ Somehow, Imaizumi had ended up actually dating Naruko, and to be quite honest, he doesn't exactly know why this happened or what happened between the two to make them want to take this relationship to the next level. Whatever it may be, he was here and stuck with it now, though he couldn't say he was unhappy or anything, after all, it was a mutual thing. He just had a bit of a problem showing that he actually cared, which he thought he had done enough of during the inter-high, though that was probably before they had even gotten together.

The problem he was having right now was that one of their anniversaries was coming up, and Naruko had probably not let him forget about it as if he had something planned or wanted him to plan something. Imaizumi was never good at picking up on social cues anyway, let alone romance, so he had no idea what he was supposed to do for this, nor did he even know if it was actually an anniversary---maybe it was Valentine's day? That was a thing, and he still didn't know what to buy him. Red sucked, so red flowers were out of the question, and he did not need anymore sugar, so candy was also out of the question. It sure would help if he knew which date was coming up, and honestly, it may be absolutely nothing and just Naruko being excited about something.

So what did he do to probably screw this up? He showed up on whatever date this was in his typical Usagi brand shirt along with blue flowers, though his other gift and the flowers were in his bag that also carried his bike uniform, probably getting smashed. He was trying, at least, but obviously, he was standing there getting impatient with waiting and sent a quick text to Naruko to tell him to hurry up. Have fun dealing with your awkward boyfriend, Naruko! ]</sub>
