The "Take Care" Meme
a shipping meme

Life is hard. You can go through rough patches and over bumps, and sometimes it feels as though you're definitely worse for the wear, both physically and mentally. It's nice to have someone - someone more than a friend - there for you in those times...even if you don't think you want them or deserve them. But they're here, and they'll take care of you.

How to Play:
* This is a shipping meme for more tender, soft moments, but a little more serious than your usual "fluff." It's for people who've been broken down by their experience and those who wish to heal them.
* Comment with your character/your preferences. You may also want to specify whether your character will be the one "cared for" or the one doing the "caring" + pertinent information, but for most effectiveness, it's best to be open to both.
* Comment around.


Prompts
1. Know You've Been Hurt By Someone Else: There are scars left on their heart from a past relationship or fling, and you have to let them know you're not the same way.
2. Can Tell By the Way You Carry Yourself: The person you have feelings for is one of those "cold stone wall" types who pushes people away. Can you get past that?
3. I've Asked About You: You've only heard bad things about this person, but you don't believe it.
4. What's a Life with No Fun: Lighten up a bit! You'd do anything to bring a smile to their face.
5. Please Don't Be So Ashamed: You have a big, BIG secret you don't want the other person to find out about, because surely they wouldn't want to even be near you if they did.
6. I've Had Mine, You've Had Yours: You've both had problems, and it could help to compare wounds so they can begin to heal.
7. Those Lies Heal: Protecting your loved one is more important that the truth, isn't it? It's a lie, but there are good intentions here.
8. You Can't Sleep: Because of past trauma, you're having a sleepless night. Luckily, this time you have somebody to help you and give you some comfort.
9. You Cry Still: The obligatory "seeing your significant other/love cry over something and wanting to make them stop at any cost" option.
10. All Get a Little Taste: Your loved one is sick or injured - literally this time - and you're looking out for them and trying to get them better.
11. You Just Don't Know: Either through magic, torture, or blunt trauma to the head, your special person can't remember you! It's up to you to get them to remember what was between you two by showing all the ways you cared for each other.
12. I Give Her Space: Part of being a careful lover is knowing when you need to leave them alone.
13. Tryna Run from That: Uh-oh, you don't want to fall in love, because you've been there, done that! Maybe there's still time to escape from this...or maybe it's too late.
14. I Will Care for You: After a particularly rough day, you're need a little TLC. Your loved one is going to do everything for you - a bath, food, the works.
15. All the Baggage Just Ain't as Heavy: You know it will take a while for this person to mend psychologically and spiritually, and you're willing to wait.
16. Change the Pace: And the smut option. Show you care through sex.
17. We'll Just Go Slow: You're going to take things one step at a time. No need to rush and define things. Just enjoy each other's company and the healing it brings.
18. We All Have Our Nights: Your lover, because of their past experience, is having a complete breakdown. You have to bring them back from the edge.
19. You Don't Say You Love Me: You both know how you feel, but one of you is having problems saying the four letter word. That's okay, though. Your lover understands.
20. To Save You: After months or years, you've both worked on the problems and old scars and you might just be ready to start something resembling a normal love.
21. CHOOSE SOMETHING ELSE

"You've never seen the disappointed look." He still remembered the way his dad had looked at him when he'd come home after being fired. He couldn't even yell at him. Not that he'd wanted him to, but that had hurt, more than he'd thought it would.

[better]

Her fingers track back to the nape of his neck, inching in closer to him. "No, but I've seen your disappointed look and I know it'd be bad at first, but this is a huge side of your life that he's not involved in. Do you think eventually it'd be better?"

[teenyoda]

"Scott's mom couldn't talk to him for a week. And he never lies to her. My dad sort of expects lies from me now, so I.. I don't know." And he hated that thought. It was one thing to tell a white lie like, 'No dad, I'm out here all by myself', but it had quickly escalated from that to 'gee dad, I have no idea who killed the bus driver'. He hated himself for that and maybe he shuffled in a little closer to Erica.

[better]

Nodding, she inches in closer to him. Her fingertips push up against the back of his skull, threading into his hair lazily. "No one says you have to do it right now, but if you ever want to, you know I can help."

[teenyoda]

"You offering to be my proof?" He smiled at that, that and her fingers in his hair. His hand moved further around her, sliding up her back.

[better]

The press of his hand at her back makes her rest her mouth against his neck, pressing in closer. "I might be okay with that."

Derek would hate it, but it's easier to explain with Show and Tell.

[teenyoda]

He smiled, hand sliding a little further up to let him grab a strand of her hair to play with. "I might keep that in mind, then."

Derek could take a flying leap off a cliff.

[better]

"Good," she replied against his neck. "Are you really supposed to go downstairs for dinner soon?"

[teenyoda]

"Uh huh. But I can eat really quickly." He tugged on the strand, letting it wind around his fingers. He was feeling less hungry for food and more hungry for something else.

[better]

Her mouth curved into a smirk, lips parting to press a warm kiss to his skin, "Is that so? Maybe you should do that now before I give you any problem walking out of this room?"

[teenyoda]

"It's not ready yet. He calls up..." But he really wished it was, because he was already sort of having that problem.

[better]

"Should I stop?" Erica asks, but honestly, she probably won't.

[teenyoda]

"Um..." He didn't really answer, because he didn't really want her to.

[better]

Her knee moves to press between his legs, words warm against his neck, "I can stop and you can go downstairs and have dinner, with your dad, knowing that I'm up here, in your bed." Erica presses a slow kiss to his neck, "Possibly without clothing on."

[teenyoda]

He lets out a small whine, hand moving from playing with her hair to moving down to grab the top of her thigh. "Jesus, Erica..." Oh, yeah, he'd be eating quickly. He'd probably choke and die, and his dad would come in and find a naked werewolf on his bed. Good thing he'd be dead, otherwise he'd be grounded.

[better]

Smirking, her fingers play in his hair a bit more. "How long do you think you have?"

[teenyoda]

"Not as long as I'd like." He moved to nudge at her nose with his, lips pausing just short of kissing her. "Wait... you're going to do this when I get back, aren't you? With my dad still here? God, you're going to kill me."

[better]

"You're going to have to be quiet, Stiles." Her head tips a bit, bringing her mouth to his finally and kissing him slowly.

[teenyoda]

"I don't like being quiet with you. I don't like you being quiet." Because he completely got off on making her make as much noise as possible.

[better]

"Then he'll hear us and then what'll happen?" Her knee lifts a bit, shifting so she's nearly tangled in against him. "I'm sure you can think of being quiet as a challenge."

[teenyoda]

"He'll kill me. First he'll make sure I'm not getting you pregnant, then he'll kill me." She moved her knee and he rocked against it, his hand sliding to cup her ass. "You might have to gag me."

[better]

"I think you're just going to have to keep it to an inside voice," she says quietly. She feels him shifting against her and that is amazing enough, but she doesn't want him to get into trouble. She really doesn't want the Sheriff to come in and find her with his son.

"If you don't get us caught tonight, next time I'll do anything you want." She knew it's a risk, but she's not sure he can keep quiet and she's also curious what he'd want to do. Nothing will be worse than screwing a metal halo into her skull.

[teenyoda]

Evil, teasing minx. Evil. Evil. Anything? His interest was piqued and he wound up kissing her, hand squeezing her ass as he did. "I can try. I'll try. Anything?"

[better]

She returns the kiss, letting it linger a bit before she pulls away, "Anything."

[teenyoda]

"You're the devil, you know that, right?"
