The Display of Affection Meme!

Suddenly you have this urge to display your affection to that one person you care about, or perhaps a friend....or maybe that random guy on the corner. Either way you just have to let them know how you feel! Well, SHOW them how you feel. Maybe they'll like it or it'll just be that much awkward, but you probably don't mind embarrassing them.

The Rules:

1) Post with your characters name, fandom and any preferences you might have in the subject line.

2) Roll the RNG from numbers 1-16 (or not depending on the preferences of you or the person you're responding to), or just pick your favorite from the list below.

3) Whatever number you get/choose is a display of affection that your character suddenly feels compelled to perform upon the character they're replying too. Maybe your character legitimately wants to perform this action, or maybe they'll be just as horrified as the person they're about to shower affection upon will be. Whatever the case, play out the resulting scene and have fun!

4) Numbers 1-10 are light and fluffy interactions rated G to PG-13.

5) Numbers 11-16 are sexier and sometimes outright smutty scenarios rated PG-13 to NC-17. If these aren't your cup of tea, please make a note of it. Please respect each other's preferences.

Fluffy Affection:

1. Shoulder punch: This person needs to seriously buck up. Maybe a playful punch in the shoulder will help them cheer up. Just make sure you watch your strength... and your aim. You don't want to accidentally punch this person really hard in the face... do you?

2. Tickle: It's time to see this person smile and hear them laugh, whether they want to or not. Grab a feather or use your fingers and go to town on their most sensitive spots. Don't worry, I'm sure they'll forgive you... probably.

3. Hug: Come on now, don't be shy. Everyone needs one of these every so often. Go up to this person and hug them like you've never hugged before!

4. Tackle Glomp: You love this person so much that a normal hug just isn't gonna cut it. You need to launch yourself at this person at full force and just wrap your arms around them until they pop! Don't worry, they can take it! Just... try not to do this around any staircases.

5. Pinch Cheeks: Look at that face! It's so cute you just wanna pinch those cheeks. Please note that we are not responsible for any violent repercussions that may arise from this action.

6. Kiss on the Cheek: Exactly what it says on the kiss. Go right on up to this lucky person and give them a nice peck on the cheek.

7. Kiss on the Lips: Wow. This person must really mean a lot to you. After all, it's not like you would just go around and kiss anyone on the lips right? What's that? You've never met this person before? Oh well, I'm sure they'll understand.

8. Flirty Compliment: Damn this person looks good. Even if you're not the kind to do so, you suddenly feel the need to compliment him or her on their appearance, and maybe even flirt a bit.

9. Just say it: Physical displays are nice, but words from the heart mean everything. From a heartfelt confession, to a casual "I love you man", to those three little words accidentally slipping out, it's time to let this person know how you feel... or not.

10. Holding Hands: Sometimes you don't need to say anything. Sometimes all you need to do is put your hand in theirs for them to know exactly how you feel about them.

Sexy Affection:

11. Grope: This person looks so good you just can't seem to help yourself. Whether it's their crotch, ass, or bust, you suddenly have an urge to grab a naughty place on this person.

12. Strip: What's the best way to show you care about someone. How about dragging them off to nice private place and taking off your clothes for them? ... Okay, that's a terrible way of showing you care, but you're gonna do it anyway! Besides, maybe something else can happen once your clothes are off...

13. Lick: This person looks good enough to eat, and you're feeling particularly naughty today. So? Go ahead and lick them in the spot of your choice. It's not creepy it's... okay, maybe it is a little creepy, but their reactions are guaranteed to be priceless.

14. Sweet Loving: Definitely the most extreme expression of your undying affection for this person. Take them to a bedroom and show them just how much you care about them. Or, maybe you're just kinky. I'm not gonna judge you.

15. Covert Loving: Or, maybe you can't wait to get to a bedroom. In that case, take this person somewhere out of sight and make love to them right then and there. Just make sure they keep quiet. It would be bad if someone heard you.

16. All tied up: Is there any better way of showing how much you care about this person than tying them up before you have sex? Probably, but you're just in one of those dominating moods today. So this person is going to receive your love and adoration whether they want to or not.

His hand came to rest at Loki's waist, forehead resting to forehead. He learned languages quickly. Hearing the word once was enough for him to be able to mimic the pronunciation with only the faintest of flaws - maybe more of an accent. "Tuvaaqatiga. I like it. We... were never quite as poetic," he murmured. "We had words for husband, for wife. Sometimes, people called their spouses their Chosen, because love was seen as a gift from the Spirits."

"There were other words. Ixa, for family not related by blood. Ixaqatniktuq, for marriage - "I have obtained a life partner". But Tuvaaqatiga was beyond that. Lifebonds were Tuvaaqatiga. The word still feels foreign to me. But I understand the concept now. I think we can become it, if we have not already done so.

And I am very comfortable with the idea." He cannot stop the uncharacteristic smiling he keeps giving into. "For the first time since I cannot recall, what we just did meant something. It was not a physical action. I wanted to make you happy. I wanted to make you feel loved. It is... strange, but not bad at all."

"Is it tradition in... either Asgard or Jotunheim," he began softly, "to exchange jewelry with a bond? It is in America now, and in Animaria, it was a tradition to give gifts - not for wedding, but for love. My father was a metalworker. He made jewelry, and he taught me what he knew before I became a warrior. I could make something for us."

The smile was beautiful. The smile had Merrick smiling, his hand lifted, finger tracing softly along the curve of Loki's lip.

"Bracelets in Jotunnheim. Mere trinkets in Asgard, to be used to assert power and rank more than anything else. The passing of jewelry was common. I myself amassed a wealth of it simply to keep my political standing, though I suppose it's all gone now. Good riddance, honestly."

He shudders at the touch, still aroused but unwilling to press things further with a man who had so little experience. "Anything you make will have more meaning than Asgard's gold and jewels. The color of the metals were more important to the Jotun people. There was a system, but I lacked the resources to learn it."

"I noticed you wore gold. Was that choice or designation?"

He wasn't ignorant of Loki's arousal, and he was gathering the bravery to do something about it. He doubted he could do what Loki had - not yet, not without some more acclimation, but he had used his hand on himself and he didn't doubt he could do that for the man he loved.

"It was defiance. I was the lesser son, but I dressed as if I were the greater one. I knew it made more than a few people angry, and that was why I did it. I would not be viewed as lesser if I had to fight, claw and seduce my way into the Court's good graces. And yet it was never enough. Truth be told, I have always favored dark colors, green especially."

He curled into Merrick, shutting his eyes for a moment. "You have no idea the joy you give me, not having to put on airs. To simply be. It is freedom incarnate."

He pressed a kiss to Loki's forehead before asking softly, "Can I touch you, beloved? I'd like to. I'd like to make you feel as good as you made me, but I'm not brave enough to use my mouth yet."

He had ideas beyond that. Ideas involving dark metals and dark stones. Malachite. Bloodstone. Verdite. Something delicate and strong at once. He would make it happen as soon as he could.

But first, he wanted to see Loki in ecstasy in his arms.

Loki's breath hitched at the idea. "Of course you can, my Merrick, my Tuvaaqatiga. It is what I want, and what you want as well. I do not expect you to do what I did to you. I did that specifically because it is what I'm best at, and I wanted nothing but the best for you." He ran a hand through Merrick's hair, openly admiring his beauty. There is nothing this man could do that he would object to.

"Mm..." His head pressed toward Loki's hand and he smiled before having to draw away - just enough. Just enough to get his hands between them so he could start to work at Loki's pants, to start pushing them down. "I want to hold you close to my chest, my chin on your shoulder so I can be close to you when you reach your peak."

Loki cannot help the soft gasp that escapes him at the touch, the words. "That sounds heavenly, if I believed in such a thing as heaven. But I need you to know I did not do what I did with the demand you return the favor. I only wanted to make you happy."

"I know." His hands grazed Loki's skin as he began to work Loki's waistband over his hips. "Now I want to make you happy. You are..." He took a deep breath, nuzzling against Loki's neck. "My balm. My ease. My mirror. Your happiness is my happiness, beloved."

"It is a distorted mirror; I fear I quite a bit more mad than you are," Loki admitted softly, even as the words somehow managed to illicit more response from his body than the filthiest of words back in Asgard. "But for you I feel I could overcome anything, for you have come to possess my heart with almost frightening ease."

"I promise I will treat it well." But he did slowly let himself down Loki's body to kiss his hip as he pulled his lover's breeches down and off, baring him as he, himself, was bared. And with all of that skin to see, oh, he definitely looked, his eyes raking over Loki hungrily.

He'd never felt attraction like this. The actual want to see and feel someone's skin, and he suspected very sincerely that it was because of the emotion between them.

"Merrick..." he breathed quietly, spreading his legs apart to give the man a better view. His gaze softened. "My Merrick. I love you. And I will never tire of saying it."

The breath he took in was a slow, appreciative hiss before he slid back up the length of Loki's body, pushing his shirt up as he went so he could press a kiss to the center of his chest. "My beloved."

He crawled further up onto the bed, moving himself until he was leaned against the pillows, and he opened his arms for Loki to come to him. "Rest against me."

Loki did as he was told, shedding his shirt first. There was a sense of relief at being like this with someone, bare, vulnerable, safe. It was not like anything he had ever known. There was control over sex, and then there was making love. He was fairly sure as he rested against Merrick this was the latter.

His arms wrapped around Loki from behind, cradling him close as he drew a line of kisses down along his neck, over his shoulder, hands sliding down his arms. "Breathtaking," he whispered, the words warm against his skin. "So perfect..."

One hand traced slowly down, over his stomach, down toward his waiting erection. And then, slow and gentle, his fingers wrapped around, amazed at the feel. Skin so soft, satin and velvet, and warm, almost hot, and so very hard... "Spirits, Loki."

"Imperfect. Jotun," he countered softly, sounding downtrodden. "This is not how a body should look, Merrick. This..." he shuts his eyes and shudders when Merrick takes him in his hand. He has no words. He simply moans.

"There is nothing of you," Merrick mouthed with his lips brushing Loki's ear, "that I do not love. To me, you are perfect."

One broad but blunt-fingered hand splayed over his stomach as his hand began to move, stroking Loki's length with adoration. His thumb made a very deliberate caress of the uppermost ridge, over the tip, soft and curious and exploring. Seeking what Loki liked most.

"But..." It was hard to muster an argument with Merrick whispering to him, and he fell silent.

Oh, by the Norns, that thumb. Loki arched his back, breathing in deeply. "Yes, Merrick, oh..."

Smiling, he kissed Loki's neck. Slow, heated, wet - his tongue brushed Loki's skin and he sucked so gently, teeth just slightly grazing as he enjoyed Loki's body so close to his. "More of that. Mm, I can give you more of that," he near-purred. And he repeated the gesture, fingers giving loving attention to the head, tracing and teasing at once. Despite no experience with someone else, he did know what felt good on his own body, and that, he now gave Loki in as much abundance as he could.

Loki made contented, breathless noises into the kisses, squirming under Merrick's hand, sighing out. Magic builds in him and he exhales blue sparks, shuddering. He needed more, but he was more than content to make this last.

Two hands, then. While one stroked, the other held, gentle but firm, around his sac, fingertips brushing the sensitive skin just behind. The more he touched, the more he thought he understood the method on how to use his mouth on someone, how he could wrap his lips around... He wasn't ready just yet, but he was learning.

"I love you," he whispered, kissing Loki's jaw.

Loki moaned, arcing harder, meeting Merrick's lips with a kiss. He feels surprisingly hard, for someone who'd done this so many times before. But this is different, just fundamentally different, and he can't he can't help but begin to try to thrust into the hand around his cock.

Now, Merrick moaned into Loki's mouth, not releasing the kiss and shifting his hands just so - just perfectly to work with the way Loki's hips moved. That movement was a natural instinct, he knew, and he wasn't going to discourage evidence that Loki liked what he was doing.
