Seeing You Naked for the First Time — a shipping/smut-ish meme

There are outliers, of course, but many societies have come to the point where nudity is a reserved affair. That's understandable though, isn't it? The naked body is like one big target, with all our most sensitive spots exposed in a most dangerous way. Maybe it's some kind of carryover from primitive times, but it's common practice to shield your body unless you're taking care of inescapable tasks, with someone you trust, or being intimate - with the last two often overlapping.

No matter if you're less than comfortable showing what you've been given or if it's next to normal with you, one situation is nearly universally awkward, however: getting naked for the first time in front of someone you intend on being intimate with. If social lubricant is involved, things may be different, yet otherwise, you may feel that uncertainty in the pit of your stomach. What if they don't like the way you look? What if they ask about your scar? They can say they love you, but does that mean your whole body.

Whether, the time has come to take that first step with this person, no matter what secrets about your body you're not sure you want to reveal or how confident you are with the situation. Now, you'll bare it all...

...and you won't be alone. You'll see them as they see you, which can be more comforting or less so.

HOW TO PLAY
Comment with your character and preferences in the subject. Any additional information goes in the comment.
This meme is definitely shipping and...somewhat smut-ish. Smut is likely to happen, but it's absolutely not required. The main purpose of this meme is to explore relationships and character's self-image, in addition to how they're perceived by others.

PROMPTS

smooth — This is old hat for you, and you make it seem like no big deal. The whole affair is smooth sailing on your end, and that confidence is alluring.
tryhard — You're attempting to be way too cool or too sexy, and it comes off as fake.
low self esteem — Suddenly, you're not feeling so great about your little pudge, your scrawny legs, your droopy...you know.
secret to keep — Your significant other has never known about the scars you bear, your deformation, or anything else you may have kept close to the vest.
not used to this — You're from a society that's so reserved, removing your clothes is almost exclusively for bathing only.
holding your breath — You've been wanting to see them like this for so long, the anticipation's killing you!
never seen anyone before — This isn't just your first time seeing them naked, it's your first time seeing anyone naked.
shy — This is just way, way too embarrassing!
everything that can go wrong — Your pant leg gets stuck. You trip over your underwear. That bra won't come off. You stare too long. You accidentally imply they look fat. Things aren't going as planned.
hunger — Just looking at them makes you want them more.
not impressed — ...wait, that's it? Really?
romantic — It's the perfect moment. You're staring into each others' eyes and there are smiles and words of love. Candles optional.
encouraging — They're clearly not confident about getting down to their skivvies, so a few kind words or actions could go a long way.
helping — You'll remove each others' clothes. After all, what's better than helping out?
accidental — You guys haven't made that step yet, but there's clearly sexual tension in the air. That won't be helped when one of you walks in on the other.

(ooc: This is a grown version of the character Micah from the TV show Heroes. He is a technopath and has the ability to talk to and communicate with machines and electronics.)

[Almost certainly, this'll be more awkward/cute/fluffy than smutty.]

(ooc: This character is set in historical times. A modern!AU is also available.)

Lucy really ought to have been prepared for something like this. Besides the fact that she'd grown up in a world where Centaurs, Fauns, and Satyrs roamed the world in nothing but their fur, she was also a nurse--and had been since long before she had returned to London through the portal in the Wardrobe as a grown woman, displaced in time. But tending someone's wounds on a battlefield, or examining them in the clinic was one thing. Catching a glimpse of someone in reasonable health, whom she might possibly fancy, in the altogether, under completely accidental circumstances? That was entirely another matter.

[M/m for explicit smut (but completely willing to do unrequited, tension, fade to black, or plain non-sexual scenes with anyone). No underage characters, wide open otherwise. Cross canon and other mediums are fine.]

[Cross-canon, what about cross-multiverse? :-D]
