First Kiss Meme one. It's your first date, and you're dropping them off at the door. Are they going to lean in? Should you..? two. You have been friends since forever. Everyone knows you like each other, but the moment quite hasn't arisen for the first kiss. Until now. three. Awkward first kisses! Maybe you just bumped noses, or you kissed their chin instead. Time for attempt number two! four. Maybe this is your very first kiss, or maybe it's theirs! Either way, one of you is experienced and the other isn't. What if it turns out really bad?! (But hey, maybe you're a natural.) five. The accidental kiss. Might have tripped over your own feet, or maybe you've collided and they landed on top of you. Either way, your lips are locked- Where you go from there is up to you. six. UST kisses. There's been some sort of tension between you for a while. Maybe you fight all the time, maybe you're in love with each other and you keep getting interrupted before anything happens. Either way, that tension needs to end now! seven. Either pick one, mesh some together, or re-roll!

[Thank you, Captain Obvious.

Yancy's eyes drop down to her lips, drawn there by her tongue and fuck. He wants to kiss her again.]

Why did you do that?

[fissions]

[ Hush, you.

Mako grimaces, catches the look in his eyes and resists the urge to pull him down by his collar to do it again. She's in love with Raleigh, this she knows -- and she's more than a little in love with Yancy, too, and from the way he responded to the kiss, she could draw some conclusions of her own.

Her gaze lingers on the curve of his lips, the longing for him like an itch under her skin, a compulsion that makes her bold. ]

Because I wanted to, for the longest time.

[yancy]

[When he sighs, it's really not at her. It's more at himself because fuck, what is he doing. What-- he is doing with this girl because he knows for a fact that Raleigh wants to kiss her badly too and the last thing he wants to do is mess up his relationship with Raleigh.

Yancy licks his lips and half starts to shake his head before he changes his mind and stops that.]

This is such a mess, Mako.

[fissions]

I know.

[ Yes, stop that. Stop that, Yancy, because what the hell are you doing with your tongue -- and where Yancy's probably more mature than all of them combined, Mako is recklessly young, twenty-one and hopelessly drawn to him, to Raleigh.

He's right; it's a mess, and it's not going to go away, but still, she wants to know. ]

Why did you kiss me back?

[yancy]

[Raleigh might be older than her by a few years, but he doesn't act like it sometimes and he doesn't count.]

Because I'm not as responsible as I look.

[fissions]

[ Mako hesitates, self-conscious and uncertain -- which is a brand new feeling in a time like this, with death and the undead all around them.

She looks down at her lap briefly, before she's looking up again, her gaze steady on him. ]

If I said I wanted to kiss you again, would you let me?

[yancy]

[Yes he would. Yancy drifts his finger tips along her thighs and doesn't quite look at her as he wars with himself. What's he supposed to do, when he's as attracted to her as she is to him but there's still Raleigh to consider and Mako, you're a great girl but, at the end of the day, his little brother comes first.]

No. But not because I don't want to. But because Raleigh has feelings for you too. And I can't do that to him.

[fissions]

[ She knows. She knows, and is it selfish that she's in love with him, too? Mako catches his wrist to hold him in place because nothing's more distracting than him touching her when she can't have him. How awful is it that she knows, too, how unfair this is to the both of them?

They're brothers, and she cannot, in good conscience, interfere with that. But then his wrist is in hers and he's not looking at her and she wonders if she's fucked it up already. ]

I know he does. [ And she loves him, too. She makes a soft noise under her breath, her humor dry, brittle, and self-deprecating. ] End of the world, and we still talk like we're in college. [ A beat, then. ] And you've already made the choice for me and Raleigh.

[yancy]

[When she says that, he stiffens and straightens and pulls away from her. Because she knows that Raleigh has feelings for her and she kissed him anyway. Because this is such a mess for them that his instinctual reaction is to push her away in favor of keeping Raleigh close.]

I did what?

[fissions]

[ She's half expected that, because they're brothers, because she could never lie to them -- and how terrible is that? Mako looks down at her hands, grimacing at how it must look. ]

... I told Raleigh how I felt about the both of you. I didn't want to lie.

[ The message is clear: she loves his brother, too. Lies, she finds, are ultimately devastating, and served no point in the grand scheme of things. Mako glances away, hops off the hood of the car to round over to the driver's side of the car. She switches to Japanese, because it's easier to say in her native language: ] And I said this was all on me, and not on either one of you. I was the one who had the misfortune of falling in love with the two of you at once.

[ How's that for a grand old mess? ]
