┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ the scenarios
① BREAKFAST IN BED: YOUR PARTNER'S UP AND ABOUT -- MAYBE DRESSED, MAYBE NOT -- AND IN THE KITCHEN. WHAT ARE THEY MAKING YOU? COULD IT BE... GRILLED CHEESE?
② HIT ME BABY: THEY'RE SUCH A PEACEFUL SLEEPER. A PEACEFUL, SEXY SLEEPER. ACTUALLY THERE'S TOO MUCH OF THAT SLEEPING HAPPENING. WHY DON'T YOU WAKE THEM UP, WORLD'S KINDEST ALARM?
③ ESCAPE FROM AZKABED: YOU WAKE UP TO FIND THEY'RE RUMMAGING ABOUT FOR THEIR CLOTHES, ABOUT TO LEAVE. WHY THE RUSH, AND CAN YOU CONVINCE THEM TO STAY?
④ THE AFTERNOON AFTER: AND THE EVENING, MAYBE EVEN THE MORNING AFTER AFTER... HOURS HAVE PASSED BUT YOU JUST CAN'T LEAVE EACH OTHER! OR MAYBE ONE OF YOU JUST WON'T...
⑤ HANGOVER FROM HELL: THERE'S A TIGER IN THE CLOSET, A BABY IN THE BATHROOM, AND A TOTAL STRANGER CURLED UP BESIDE YOU. WHO IS THIS PERSON BESIDE YOU SMELLING OF TEQUILA AND REGRET? DO THEY KNOW ANY MORE ABOUT WHAT, OR WHO, WENT DOWN THAN YOU DO?
⑥ WET AND WILD: DON'T FEEL TOO LONELY WAKING UP BY YOURSELF -- THE SHOWER'S ON AND THE SOUND OF WATER FALLING IS MIGHTY INVITING. WHY DON'T YOU GET CLEANED UP -- OR DOWN AND DIRTY ALL OVER AGAIN?
⑦ I'LL SLEEP WHEN I DIE: SLEEP? WHAT IS THIS SLEEP THING YOU SPEAK OF? DAWN'S BREAKING AND NEITHER OF YOU HAVE GOTTEN A WINK, OR WANT ONE. WHO'S READY FOR ROUND asjldkjl?
⑧ A BITTER PILL: TURNS OUT THE REASON YOU SCORED WASN'T YOUR SPARKLING WIT AND MAGNETIC CONFIDENCE. YOUR PARTNER HAD AN ULTERIOR MOTIVE -- THEY ALREADY KNEW IT, AND YOU'RE ABOUT TO. RECON? REVENGE? REBOUND? TAG AND FIND OUT, IF YOU CAN HANDLE THE TRUTH!
⑨ THIS ISN'T MINE: THAT SLEEPY PERSON IN YOUR LIVING ROOM HAD A GREAT NIGHT -- WITH YOUR ROOMMATE. WELL, MIGHT AS WELL GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER WHILE YOU'RE BOTH THERE, RIGHT? ... RIGHT?
⑩ WILD CARD: ROLL MORE THAN ONCE AND COMBINE SCENARIOS, CHOOSE YOUR FAVOURITE, OR MAKE UP YOUR OWN!

[She giggles again, toying with a lock of his hair absently.]

Okay, okay! There's no rush anyway, right?

[Eridan groans. It's a good-natured groan, but still.]

...you just want me to say we have all the Time in the world, don't you.

[She beams at him. TRIUMPHANTLY.]

Horrible.

[But he's chuckling and pulling her close so he can properly nuzzle her heee---hey, there, fur-woofbeast-ear friends.]

No, it was amazing!

[Oh no, that tickles, and her ears flick automatically.]

Bad. Terribad, even.

[He blinks at the flick. And then casually blows a little on the tip of an ear. More curious than anything else.]

Wonderful!

[Her ears flick backward again and she giggles, swatting at him gently.]

That tickles!

Does it?

[Eridan sounds interested. Maybe a little teasing. Hmmmm... what to do with this information...]

[SHE IS LOOKING AT HIM SO SUSPICIOUSLY...]

Don't give me that look! It's... pure and innocent curiosity.

No it isn't! You're going to tickle me!

...maybe a little.

[He grinned, lopsided and full of sharp teeth.]

[She pulls away, burrowing under the blankets until she--and her ears--have disappeared completely.]

[Eridan laughs, and it surprises him how easy it rolls. How genuine it sounds.]

It's okay, I won't if you don't want me to. Promise.

[She peeks out, the lower half of her face still obscured by the blanket.]

How do I know this isn't a trick?

...because I promise it's not?

[Eridan gave her his best puppy face.]

[Hey, aren't puppy faces supposed to be her thing? She pulls herself up.]

[Maybe, but he's pretty good at them, by virtue of being the dog in the "kick the dog" moments. He offers her a smile and raises his hands placatingly.]

See?

[She grins, scooting up to snuggle against him again.]

Thanks!

[Eridan lets himself wrap an arm around her. Oh god, this isn't fair.]

It's okay.

[He arches an eyebrow.]

I was mostly jokin', you know. I'm ticklish too.
