I'll Take Care of You

[dreamlocket]

The "Take Care" Meme
a shipping meme

Life is hard. You can go through rough patches and over bumps, and sometimes it feels as though you're definitely worse for the wear, both physically and mentally. It's nice to have someone - someone more than a friend - there for you in those times...even if you don't think you want them or deserve them. But they're here, and they'll take care of you.

How to Play:
* This is a shipping meme for more tender, soft moments, but a little more serious than your usual "fluff." It's for people who've been broken down by their experience and those who wish to heal them.
* Comment with your character/your preferences. You may also want to specify whether your character will be the one "cared for" or the one doing the "caring" + pertinent information, but for most effectiveness, it's best to be open to both.
* Comment around.


Prompts
1. Know You've Been Hurt By Someone Else: There are scars left on their heart from a past relationship or fling, and you have to let them know you're not the same way.
2. Can Tell By the Way You Carry Yourself: The person you have feelings for is one of those "cold stone wall" types who pushes people away. Can you get past that?
3. I've Asked About You: You've only heard bad things about this person, but you don't believe it.
4. What's a Life with No Fun: Lighten up a bit! You'd do anything to bring a smile to their face.
5. Please Don't Be So Ashamed: You have a big, BIG secret you don't want the other person to find out about, because surely they wouldn't want to even be near you if they did.
6. I've Had Mine, You've Had Yours: You've both had problems, and it could help to compare wounds so they can begin to heal.
7. Those Lies Heal: Protecting your loved one is more important that the truth, isn't it? It's a lie, but there are good intentions here.
8. You Can't Sleep: Because of past trauma, you're having a sleepless night. Luckily, this time you have somebody to help you and give you some comfort.
9. You Cry Still: The obligatory "seeing your significant other/love cry over something and wanting to make them stop at any cost" option.
10. All Get a Little Taste: Your loved one is sick or injured - literally this time - and you're looking out for them and trying to get them better.
11. You Just Don't Know: Either through magic, torture, or blunt trauma to the head, your special person can't remember you! It's up to you to get them to remember what was between you two by showing all the ways you cared for each other.
12. I Give Her Space: Part of being a careful lover is knowing when you need to leave them alone.
13. Tryna Run from That: Uh-oh, you don't want to fall in love, because you've been there, done that! Maybe there's still time to escape from this...or maybe it's too late.
14. I Will Care for You: After a particularly rough day, you're need a little TLC. Your loved one is going to do everything for you - a bath, food, the works.
15. All the Baggage Just Ain't as Heavy: You know it will take a while for this person to mend psychologically and spiritually, and you're willing to wait.
16. Change the Pace: And the smut option. Show you care through sex.
17. We'll Just Go Slow: You're going to take things one step at a time. No need to rush and define things. Just enjoy each other's company and the healing it brings.
18. We All Have Our Nights: Your lover, because of their past experience, is having a complete breakdown. You have to bring them back from the edge.
19. You Don't Say You Love Me: You both know how you feel, but one of you is having problems saying the four letter word. That's okay, though. Your lover understands.
20. To Save You: After months or years, you've both worked on the problems and old scars and you might just be ready to start something resembling a normal love.
21. CHOOSE SOMETHING ELSE

Flying under the radar was par for the course in these kinds of relationships. Not that they were necessarily unheard of, but you just had to be careful about how much of it showed through. The eyes of professionalism were all over the flagship of Starfleet.

But sometimes, all of that really began to take it's toll.

Shoreleave was something that was meant to help with the stress of starship life. Mandatory for anyone below senior officers, but this time, Sulu wasn't taking 'no' for Spock's answer.

[Every time it seems like things might start to look up, things might actually give him room to breathe, his family won't leave him alone, his work gets complicated. Missions keep them apart, new recruits, administrative duties and meetings. It blurs together, endlessly, and he finds it hard to breathe at times, being unable to come home, relax for even just one evening. He can't remember the last time he slept a full night or had time to eat a full meal.

Eventually, he puts his foot down, too tired to deal with it anymore, and leaves his division for home, for the woman he prays is there right now, waiting for him so he can just hold her as he's longed to do, sit with her, breathe her in and give his weary head a place to rest.

There are no words exchanged with any he walks by, even as he passes into the gates and along the path that would take him to his room, haori heavier than he last remembers. Just a moment, just a second with her and he'll be able to go back tomorrow and wear the face of the Head of the Kuchiki Clan, the mantle of the Captain of the Sixth. Just one...]

[It was no secret that things between herself and Spock had been ricky for some time. Maybe it was due to miscommunication or maybe it was just because Uhura just didn't feel the same for him anymore. She hasn't told him anything yet, hasn't confessed on her change of heart because she wasn't sure if it was just a phase...

One thing that brought everything into perspective for her was Kirk's death and miraculous recovery. When she had thought that he was gone she had felt not just that her heart was broken but that it was completely gone. This is the Captain, the man who had tried to hit on her in a bar all those years ago and the man that she thought was just a cocky, arrogant, hick. How wrong she had been. In the years he had been her Captain she had seen a new side to Jim. Sure, he was still as reckless and rule-breaking as ever but he was also brave and would do anything for the safety of his crew.

She's walking down the corridor, back on Earth, towards Jim's room at the hospital. She hadn't seen him since he had been brought in, she wanted to wait until he was conscious which Bones had confirmed he now was. She doesn't know if she's going to confess how she felt or what she was going to say she just wanted to see him. She walks up to the bed, smiling a little as she sees those blue eyes looking back at her.]
