The (Platonic) Love of my Life Meme
The (Platonic) Love of my Life Meme
They're your partner, your soulmate, your other half... but you don't think of them *that* way. This is a meme for playing out intimate platonic relationships.
Post with your character, canon, preferences, etc. Tag around. Despite the wording of the meme, Golden Trios (or more) are fine too. Here's some prompts to get you started:
1. Love at First Sight: Your eyes met, and you knew with the tugging at your heart that this person would be your best friend for the rest of your life.
2. Better as Friends: You have mistaken your platonic bond for a romantic one, and are trying to make it work as lovers (and failing). The love and trust is there, but there's no attraction, no spark. When are you going to realize the truth?
3. Wedding Bells: The two of you want all the legal benefits of marriage -- or maybe you're being pressured to marry someone, so you pick your best friend. Just don't let anyone know you don't plan on consummating.
4. Confession: You've been friends for a while, and it's time to let them know the truth -- that your feelings for them go beyond friendship and into platonic partnership. Here's hoping they understand.
5. Under One Roof: You live together. Sharing a bed, arguing over furniture, going for groceries... can your relationship withstand being around each other nearly 24/7?
6. New Life: The two of you are going to raise a child together. Maybe you're adopting, or using artificial insemination. Maybe one of you conceived a child with someone else and the other one will serve as another parent figure for the child.
7. Not my Lover: The two of you are constantly mistaken for lovers -- how could you be so affectionate and intimate with each other without something romantic or sexual going on, after all? You might even get in trouble for this perceived relationship.
8. Three's a Crowd: One or more of you also has a romantic partner in addition to your platonic partner, and they're getting jealous of all the time you spend with your platonic partner. They may even accuse you of cheating, and you may have to choose between the two relationships.
9. Friends Never Say Goodbye: It's been a good run, but it's time for you to part ways. Perhaps you're simply breaking up, or someone has to go far away. Whatever the cause, your memories of this person and what you had together will never fade.
10. I Love You (Intensely and Platonically): Wildcard. Combine prompts, or make up your own scenarios.

oh god
Lets go with 5 then
[Newt trips over some groceries that have been left out, doing his best to keep balance . Which isn't easy, of course, with his limp. But he manages to, barely, but does half-crash into the nearby kitchen wall.]
Bloody hell, Minho. Warn a guy that you've put out an obstacle course. I just wanted a drink.
[Which he promptly goes to get. Working in the small garden is hard work. It honestly isn't that weird, having to share such a small space with his friend. They've shared in a lot smaller space, for a lot longer. So this is actually a bit nicer, really. And at least there is real food, that they don't have to slaughter themselves.]
heck ye
He cringes a little as he hears Newt swear, slowly coming into the kitchen with a plastic bag full of plastic bags after finishing putting away the bathroom stuff. ]
Yeah, sorry about that. Kinda got sidetracked from turning the groceries into puzzle blocks.
no subject
Maybe I should just watch where I'm going, right?
[He gives Minho a little smile.]
Thanks for shopping.
[Cause Newt really hates it; he just doesn't like the looks he gets. Being around a lot of strangers makes him a bit itchy, anyways. Too many bad memories.
He picks up the stuff he tripped over and starts helping put it away. Might as well be the one to do it, since he wasn't the one to buy it.]
