kinda stuck meme
Well, at least it's not glue.
RULES:
o1. Put down your character ( name | series | any preferences).
o2. Those replying can pick / rng / ask Snape on the astral plane to choose one of the prompts below.
o3. You know what they say: birds of a feather get stuck in questionably legal situations together!
Hope you enjoy your enforced quality time, when you're both stuck -
o1 in traffic, after an atrocious argument.
o2. distracting this person, while your partner in comedy/crime organizes their surprise party, or slashes their car tyres.
o3. defending the base for the next vicious 42 min, until your cavalry to get here. Ladies, gentlemen: good luck.
o4. on a raft, idly drifting the way of the nearest deserted island, a surely cute shark in tow.
o5. in an air vent, after fruitlessly stalking this person, whom you thought to be a serial killer. They don't make friendly neighbours like they used to.
o6. trapped in a codependent relationship with your bed / pet / really domestic hobby, from which this person hopes to break you by way of
o7. in a waiting room, while you're hanging around for the results for a highly embarrassing disease test, and would really rather not run into anyone you kno - ...God damn it.
o8. trying to safely navigate through a department store, after carelessly forgetting you were out on your measly errand during Black Friday / the year's biggest one-day sale.
o9. standing guard in front of a bedroom with this nigh-stranger, so your Romeo-Juliet-like friends can finally get it on in behind closed doors, thematic noises included. Get the small talk going.
10. with your hair in one of their zippers. You pick which. Everyone else just points and laughs.
11. delivering some pretty terrible news to them.
12. with your hand in their mailbox, just as they're coming out of their house, or apartment.
13. doing the dishes, when you both forgot your wallets and can't foot the bill.
14. playing moral support for your friend, who's stuck in a magician's box, while said magician goes off to look for the key. And coffee. And dinner.
15. reading a manual on how to defuse a bomb, or a very sensitive alarm system. Tick-tack. No rush.
16. waiting for the movie reels to get changed over from an accidental porn showing, courtesy of teenagers in charge of the screening room. You're also out of popcorn.
17. under the only stone building around for miles in the middle of an acidic rain. And then you wonder whether pollution's really on the rise.
18. on the roof, after the ladder's snapped in half. Your neighbour's particularly irritable cat might also be out on the prowl.
19. in a bdsm swing. Look, no one's judging.
20. baby-sitting, pet-sitting, or car-sitting. Yes, that new Ferrari needs day and night surveillance.
21. in a lake, because this person caught you skinny-dipping and won't. Go. Away.
22. on the phone for an important interview / business conversation, while this person tries to distract you.
23. waiting to be ransomed, while in the actually quite loving care of especially incompetent criminals.
24. with your and this person's thumbs engaged in a dysfunctional Chinese finger trap.
25. waiting for them to make the Important Announcement they've been hinting at all week, while they taunt and tease you with it.

[It was easier to find the church than he thought it'd be, when he finally got some time over (and convinced himself to go). But after he had done that, Cloud had hesitated for many long minutes, glancing between the messages he hadn't deleted and the church door before he could convince himself to go inside.
He wasn't sure whether he was hoping the church would be empty and he could just have a look at those flowers and see something naturally green and growing for a little bit, or whether he wanted the girl who tended them to be there too.]
Re: 3
[It hadn't taken long for the flowers to strengthen themselves and come back into full bloom again. The flowers were resilient in the church and Aerith had yet to figure out the precise reason why. Either way, she was grateful that they kept growing for her.
She had only just knelt down to tend to the new growth when Cloud had entered, she glanced up and tipped her head curiously at the stranger. She hadn't seen him around before and she thought she knew just about everyone in the area.]
no subject
[Stopping partway down the aisle when he spotted the girl - who did have a ribbon in her hair, so she was probably his mystery texting partner - Cloud shifted on his feet.]
Hello. I'm... um. [This was weird. He should've been more careful and made sure the church was empty before he got inside, because regardless of the invitation, who just... turns up because of that?]
I came to see the flowers.
[Cloud ducked his head, sure he felt his face burning.]
Like you said.
[Or, well. Texted.]
no subject
You really came.
[She then burst into gentle laughter motioned for him to come to the flower bed.]
They're all here. I've been tending to them.
no subject
You must do a good job. They're very pretty.
[And far more healthier-looking than Cloud thought they would be, even with that, ahem, skylight in the ceiling now. Glancing from the hole to the girl beside him, Cloud sort of wished he could've busied himself with taking off his helmet, but since it was an off day, he wasn't in uniform.]
I'm Cloud.
no subject
I'm Aerith. It's nice to finally see the person on the other side of the screen. Sorry that I was messaging you so late.
[She laughs again and glances away. Now that she thinks about it, she was basically messaging a stranger in the middle of the night, then wouldn't leave him alone. But, she just wanted someone to talk to for a little while.]
It turns out I did get some numbers mixed up so I got through to Zack in the end.
[Although, why would he care? It's not like he knew who Zack was. So she decided to change the topic again back to the flowers.]
Are the flowers back in your hometown like this?
no subject
[It'd been so easy, when all there'd been was a few lines of text - it'd seemed so simple to ask her about the flowers, since he knew they didn't really grow in Midgar.]
Oh, good. [Cloud's smile was honest, if a bit shy. He'd wondered, though why, he wasn't really sure. Maybe mostly because that was how they'd started texting and he was curious.]
More shapes and colours, usually. There's lots of different sorts of flowers... but I don't think they'd do this well like these are.
no subject
Maybe I'll be able to see them one day.
[She laughed softly, the feeling almost wistful as she turned back to Cloud.]
Are you very far away from home..?
no subject
Yeah. [Cloud nodded, glancing sideways through his bangs at Aerith.] Nibelheim. It... it's on the Western Continent. It's up in the mountains, so it's pretty cold.
[Pausing, Cloud bit his lip. Would she want to know more? Maybe he should just...]
Is Midgar your home, or are you from somewhere else, too..?
