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.

[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.]

[ ...It's too bad for Annie that Reiner is so... dense. While the invite to lunch had been kinda nice, he really had no clue what she called him here for.

He catches the edge of her gaze and looks over, confused. Maybe a little concerned. ]

Annie. Something wrong?

[She rested her elbow against her knee, her palm pressed against her cheek. Why was she hesitating in the first place? Ugh. Annie hated all these trivial relationships that she had to maintain, so she snorted slightly when she breathed out.]

This isn't going to work, I don't love you.

[Instead of adding a layer of sugar or niceness, she just dropped the bomb without even thinking of the consequences. Annie didn't even turned her face towards Reiner, she only moved her blue eyes to the side to view him.]
