the unresolved sexual tension meme

Oh my god, there is nothing more frustrating than when you want to kiss someone and press them against a wall, but for some reason, you can’t—or when you see two people who are obviously in love and you want to shove them into a room already. What is preventing you two from getting together? Can anyone end this?

prompts

1. BOSS ✖ A romance with a higher up or your boss is taboo for many good reasons, but you’re finding yourself falling in love with them anyways. Will others approve? Will one of you have to quit your job to not get the other into trouble?

2. JUST FRIENDS ✖ Talk about one of the biggest roadblocks to love ever! You want to kiss them, but you don’t want to ruin your current relationship. What are you going to do? Will you get the guts to confess and hope for the best?

3. GOALS ✖ You want to tear down a building to build an apartment complex, they want to make it a historical landmark. Opposing dreams and goals are huge roadblocks, especially if you happen to want to ‘sleep with the enemy’… literally.

4. TEAMMATES ✖ You work well together, you can depend on them no matter what, and you get along outside of the office or game. What you feel is just that happy camaraderie, not any mushy feelings of love or romantic affection! Is it?

5. DENIAL ✖ No, no way. You do not love that other person. They are stupid or just too prideful or you’re not interested in them at all. Ha, admit it, you totally are. Now go over there and admit your feelings before everyone around you goes insane.

6. COWORKERS ✖ Oh, this is awful. You really, really like your coworker, but there is a no dating policy, or they don’t date coworkers under any circumstances. Dare you make a move after hours or in the break room? It could be worse; you could have the hots for your boss.

7. POLITICS ✖ Clashing beliefs and heated debates always gets the blood pumping, and even though you have sworn to defeat them and get your bill pushed through, their eyes make your heart jump and makes you reconsider your ideals… Can you find a compromise or let bygones be bygones?

8. TAKEN ✖ Oh god. How can you confess to someone who is already taken? Why are you even feeling like this? You must never let them know. Ignore everyone who is encouraging you to take a leap of faith anyways. They are taken and that is that.

9. SOCIAL CLASS ✖ She is a princess, you are a stable boy, he is a rich lord, you are the scullery maid… Money is an important factor to any relationship, and sometimes, it can be one of the barriers. But how long are you going to let positions and titles keep you apart?

10. PRIDE ✖ You? Be in love with someone like that? Ha! No way. You are far above them, and you deserve only the best love. But… what if they are the best love and you just don’t realize it yet?

11. FAMILY FEUD ✖ One of the most famous of all the situations, for some reason, your families are fighting and as much as you like the other person, you can’t betray your family this way. But is there a good reason for the feud? Or a misunderstanding? Will true love conquer all without the abundance of death?

12. OBLIVIOUS ✖ This is the most frustrating one ever. It’s not that they hate each other or someone else is making a barrier, it’s just that they you have no idea how good of a couple you would make or how you always flirt with each other. Will one of you realize it, or does someone need to give you a push?

13. DUTY ✖ Bound by honor and loyalty, you can never cross the line that divides you and your love, be it that you swore to protect them or they serve you. Or will you? How will others react to this? Might it be considered forbidden?

14. FRIEND-ZONED ✖ Oh no, it's not what you think. You see, your best friend likes the person you like, and they are trying to go on a date with them (or get into their bed). But you can't let either of them know, because that is not what good friends do. But what do you do if your mutual crush is interested in you anyways?

15. WILDCARD ✖ Is there something we missed? Is there another scenario you want to play out, or would you like to roll the dice again? Go for it!

[ destroy me I Am Here

there's 2 + 4 + 5 (+ 12? the funny thing is oblivious works for either of them smfh) which would work good for these morons normally

there's 1 + 9 + 13 in the au event where luke's raised by anakin and han ends up graduating the imperial academy instead of running away from it???

or we could fuck numbers and just say han's casually watching luke do his dumb physical jedi exercises and frowning deeply @ his new biceps or vice-versa with han working on the falcon i'm just--

the engine room???? more like hi luke i hope you don't mind having your cheek pressed to metal or anything you can bitch at me for it later ok ]

It's impossible. Luke's resigned to it. He's the last Jedi--no, first of the new, he reminds himself. He can't form attachments, not right now anyway. There's too much to do. And who would he attach himself to, anyway? His best friends are his sister and his sister's boyfriend. Or... well. He thinks they're together. He's seen them kiss but the whole thing's been kind of awkward and they've been kind of really busy the past few years.

Not that it matters, because it's not like he's attracted to either of them, for obvious but different reasons. It's just that, lately, he and Han haven't really been getting along, and he's not sure why. They just tend to... irritate one another. And a little banter has always been part of their relationship, sure. But the snarling's crept up on him, and now he doesn't know how to respond. He does his best with his Jedi exercises, to center himself, to rid himself of frustration and this new sensation of pins and needles whenever he's around Han. They, Han and Luke, are out scouting planets for potential Jedi training grounds, and maybe it's just the prolonged proximity wearing on them.

It's after some of these very exercises that he comes back to the Falcon. He's just been training, a mix of meditation and physical exertion which has left him sweating lightly and he hasn't yet put a shirt with sleeves on. Partly because he thinks he left his towel down by the engine room, and there's no point putting on a jacket before you've cleaned yourself up. So he moves that way, hoping he won't trigger another weirdly fraught interaction.

The initial response Han had when he was told he'd have to explore the galaxy with Luke had been a teasing complaint about how the kid might get them killed somehow (the irony of that not lost on anyone, but Han's always been good at bitching).

The point is that it had been a joke--some silly way to keep up his reputation nobody would really believe--and at the time Han really hadn't minded. Travelling with Luke was, for all intents and purposes, just fine. For one thing, he isn't the over-excited kid he was the first time he boarded the ship. For another, Luke knew the insides of the Falcon well enough that Chewie could be left behind to help Leia around--which is nice, since a) she really could use the help managing so many people for rebuilding; b) despite her needing said help, Han's pretty sure he isn't the right guy to give it; due to c) after the whole war against the Empire, there'd been some realisation that love formed around adrenaline probably isn't very good love after all; and d) that made things horribly, horribly awkward.

Han thought he was being saved from a horrible situation when Luke asked him to help him travel the galaxy (and thought it was a nice ego boost being told he was one of the most experienced travellers out there, much as Luke rolled his eyes at him good-naturedly for it). Turns out, though, that as far as the twins are concerned, Han's just got rotten luck.

It started out fine, sure. He and Luke complemented each other well enough to make up for this or that even around whatever petty arguments might arise, and Han quite liked being able to talk in Basic and hear Basic being spoken back to him. Alas, as the weeks wore into months, something changed--not that Han knows what that something is, but it sure must have some weight if the sound of Luke's footsteps leading to the engine room has him stiffening.

Of course Han does his best to relax in both mind and body, because one can never be too sure with the Force. But it doesn't change the fact that, as he tightens a bolt that's more or less the last step in fixing the hyperdrive's failure to cooperate a few minutes prior, he's already half-expecting a fight.

He doesn't look over his shoulder, but he does say, "You ready to help me out in here, or are you gonna disappear again?"

Luke's eyes squeeze shut, and he struggles to remember the relative peace he'd achieved not thirty seconds ago. Shattered, once again, by one word from Solo. He feels so jumpy, all the time, and it makes him feel like a very inferior sort of Jedi that one person can get to him so easily.

"I don't disappear," he shoots back, grabbing his towel. It is, of course, covered in grease, and he grumbles as he tosses it back into a corner. "It's called training, and it's important." They also need to assess the planets' and moons' suitability for training, which is why they're even out here in the first place. He needs to go wash up, find a towel.

But Luke can't stop watching Han, the way he shifts under his clothes as the screw tightens. Han puts his whole body into things, even when it's laziness. Right now, he's efficient, if almost jerky in the irritation Luke can feel rising off him in waves. And maybe that's the problem, too. Maybe, with the increased sensitivity the Force gives him, Luke's incapable of responding to people normally. Which makes other people incapable of responding to him normally, which makes...

A mess.
