the end of my rope romantic tension meme

We've all seen it in fiction or witnessed it in real life - or been a part of it. A pair that's so attracted to each other ( or maybe clearly in love with each other) that it nearly creates a presence of its own. But, as of yet, they've not acted on this. They're dancing around the issue, one or both of them is ignorant despite EVERYONE ELSE knowing, or they're just the type to ignore all that guff. It's awkward, though, for everyone involved. And eventually... ...something's gotta give. Something's gotta burst. Your character and whoever responds to you have had this sort of tension building up between you for a while now. Handwaved interaction and assumed CR are key here! It doesn't have to be your typical romcom or tsundere arguing couple. Cute little crushes, secret longings, and serious feelings all welcome. It can even be sexual tension rather than purely romantic. The characters have yet to explore anything - now, though, they have no choice since it's right there, unable to be avoided. How to Play Both know. One is oblivious. Sudden realization. Tension Type Both know. One is oblivious. Sudden realization. Break Reason Argument They're downing themselves. They're downing you. Playful moment turns more. Cruelty gone wrong. Teasing gone too far. They're just too cute! They show you kindness. They mention someone else. You're jealous. You've planned to reveal how you feel. A serious, life-defining moment. This is your last and only chance. What Happens? Matter-of-fact confession. Over-the-top confession. Interrupted by everything - including the other person. Silly situational comedy where everything goes wrong. Angry admission. Sad admission. Happiness at this being finally out in the open and known. Adorable goofiness. Sudden kiss Chaste kiss. Shutting-you-up kiss. Passionate kiss. Hug/embrace. Make out. Decisions on where the relationship stands. They feel they have to reject you for your own sake. Flat-out unrequited.

so teasing as the break reason? very oblivious teasing?

It had been a long day, a long week actually. But it was the weekend now so it was time for Trowa and Quatre to finally have some time alone. And the thing they had been looking forward to: watching a movie together. It was something nice to do. They got to sit together for a while and there was (usually) nothing that interrupted them.

Trowa knelt by their collection of movies, going through them as Quatre finished getting a few things. Unable to decide on what they should watch, Trowa glanced over his shoulder towards where Quatre was.

"Any preference on movie?"

He had a list.

It was a pretty good list too, all the reasons that any attraction he felt for the woman working beside him was utterly inappropriate.

Most of the time just the existence of the list was enough. He didn't even think about it, they were just colleagues who happened to become friends. No surprise given how long and under what conditions they worked together. Every so often however, he found that he had to mentally review that list, to remind himself why denial was necessary.

After Rowan had become Queen of Hearts, Jordan Novak settled in to bide his time. It wasn't pleasant, but for all that he had...betrayed his mother, her lessons were forever ingrained. Jordan was happiest when he was concocting a grand, perfect plot.

He was twenty-seven when he challenged Theo and won, and he merely gave the current Queen a beatific smile as he took his rank. King of Hearts. Rowan wouldn't last long when they stood as equals, and when she resigned...well, he had a plan for that, too.

That was when the plan went a bit awry, though. Rowan did resign. Jordan did name Blythe Merrick his queen, and Hadyn his Ace. But Blythe wasn't as easy to influence as he'd supposed she would be. There was steel in her spine, which was a good quality in a Queen, but a pain in the ass when you were determined to rule the Suit as Jordan was.

"I don't see why you think strengthening the guards is such a terrible idea," he says, leaning back in his chair. "Weren't you Miss Armory and Weapons a couple of years ago, darling?"

And he asked me out of everyone else. I mean, there are so many other girls around, so I'm really flattered.

I've never attended a wedding before. I hope it's going to be beautiful. [Obliviousness dialed up to a ten.]

[Annie was sitting beside Reiner, they were casually having lunch down by one of the river banks and she was thinking on telling him what she thought of their relationship. The blonde huffed a breath out to move some of her blonde bangs over a little, her piercing gaze found the side of his face and she waited to be acknowledged for the moment.

In hopes of gaining attention, she lifted her right leg and pulled it close to her, then her left.

Oh, that stare.]
