The Highly Inappropriate Sexual Tension Meme


The Highly Inappropriate Sexual Tension Meme

Touches. Glances. Sides brushing, so close to each other. The moment is, most likely, quite, subdued, and calm. Or it could be loud and full of life, right in the middle of a vivacious party. Yet, no matter the case, your blood is pumping - no, nearly boiling with the passion bubbling between you and your companion.

Unfortunately, this sexual tension is completely and absolutely out of line. Whether it be the place, the time, your relationship with the person (be that literal relation or power difference, age difference, experience difference, and so on), your own lack of knowledge, or personal convictions, you should not act on any building desires.

But here's the thing about tension: it builds. It builds, and it builds, until...

Well, even subtlety can come to an inappropriate head.

HOW TO PLAY
  • This meme isn't for smut, though smut is allowed. What it is for is the delicious, anticipatory build up and the dances people can do to deny attraction. Foreplay, especially creative foreplay, is encouraged.
  • Comment with your character, canon, and preferences in the subject. In the comment body, be sure to mention if there are any squicks you have, scenarios you don't/do want to play out, and if you're okay with AUs or handwaved CR.
  • Reply to others.

[ Kate doesn't often use feminine wiles to get what she wants but, hey, it' a fun. She glances over her shoulder. ]

You wanna come or are you going to enjoy your carob with your dad? [ Because she' drat her continue flirting elsewhere, honestly. ]
teenyoda: (Hands to mouth - 1)

Huh?

[He looks down at the bag, then up at her. Then he's getting up and tossing the bag over the desk at the sergeant, telling him it's for his dad and he'll be back. In a bit.]

Uh, yeah. Yeah, I could eat. Something non carob-y.

[ She adds cheerily: ] I'll bring him back in once piece.

[ Kate's smile becomes sweeter and a little flustered when she turns away from him to walk through the doors, an extra bounce in her step. Private eyes need a little fun now and then, right? ]
teenyoda: (Look - Curious 2)

[He moved to head out after her, managing not to trip over anything along the way. Bonus.]

That has to be added? The one piece thing? Should I be concerned?
pmuch: (ting!)

[personal profile] pmuch 2014-04-20 01:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Nervous?

[ Her eyebrows hop when she glances over her shoulder as she waits for him to catch up with her. ]

Just a joke. Probably. I'll follow your lead to the diner.
teenyoda: (Look - 6)

[personal profile] teenyoda 2014-04-21 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
Me? Nah...

[Maybe he should be, but he couldn't find it in him as he gestured with his head before falling in step with her.]

It's this way.
pmuch: (adventuress)

[personal profile] pmuch 2014-04-21 12:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Gotcha.

[ Kate swings her bag lightly, a bounce in her step. ] So, I'm honestly trying to do the private eye thing. I've got tons of resources to help. [ As an honorary Avenger and former financial backer for her own team, she better. ]
teenyoda: (Look - Up 1)

And that's really what you want to do? Be all Dick Tracy?

[Not that he hadn't thought about it a few times himself, but lately, that wasn't really something he'd been focusing on.]
pmuch: (Default)

By day, I'm a superhero.

[ She says it with an air of humor but it's the truth and he can believe it if he wants to or not. A little internet search will tell him all he needs about her and her not at all secret identity. They keep 'em busy in New York. Kate holds a finger up. ] I gotta say that the yellow zoot suit's a fashion choice I might consider in the future.
teenyoda: (Look - Grr 1)

[personal profile] teenyoda 2014-04-23 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah? Which one? Batman? No, wait, Batgirl.

[He grins, glad she not only knew who he was talking about, but keeping up.] Only if you do a few alterations.
pmuch: (wtf even)

[personal profile] pmuch 2014-04-23 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
[ She snorts softly, holding a hand up. ] Please, my code name is non-binary. [ And she shares it with a dude and they're both pretty okay about it. Obviously Kate is the superior title holder but Clint doesn't have to know that. ]

And, anyway, purple's my color, not yellow.
teenyoda: (Look - Side 1)

[personal profile] teenyoda 2014-04-24 07:06 am (UTC)(link)
Your code name, huh? And what would that be?

[He's playing along because really, come on. Super heroes don't exist.]

Purple... would probably suit you better, to be honest. Yellow's a hard shade to pull off.
pmuch: (ting!)

[personal profile] pmuch 2014-04-25 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, those X-Men have no idea what they're doing with all that yellow. [ Kate's playing it off like a joke for now. It's not like she's made national headlines or anything, and it doesn't really matter if he believes her or not because she really just likes flirting and bragging a little bit. ]

On the job, they call me Hawkeye.
teenyoda: (Talking - Sassy 1)

[personal profile] teenyoda 2014-04-25 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
What, like the guy off MASH? You drink a lot of gin?
pmuch: (plotting plotting)

[personal profile] pmuch 2014-04-26 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Not really, but I am looking for my Hot Lips. [ Yes, she knows that Hawkeye that Hot Lips aren't involved, but the comment was irresistible. ]
teenyoda: (Look - Down Sad 1)

[personal profile] teenyoda 2014-04-28 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
What? A hot blonde nurse? Aren't we all...

[Sigh. Girls into girls was hot.]
pmuch: (curiousity)

[personal profile] pmuch 2014-05-02 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe. [ She snorts. ] I think a guy can be Hotlips too, really.

We almost there?
