Love Confession

THE LOVE CONFESSIONS MEME

Confessions of feelings are rarely as nice and romantic as they seem in the Hollywood flicks. Sometimes, they're screamed across an empty house as someone leaves. Others, they whispered across white pillow cases as bodies lie close together in the dark. Of course, these feelings may not be returned, but it may be the only shot you have.

If you even meant to spill, anyway.

How to Play
- Comment with your character, putting your information and preferences somewhere in the comment.
- Comment to other characters. Roll the RNG to get your prompt, or pick one.
- Play out the scene and take it whatever direction you'd like.
- Be cute and fun or sad and depressing.

Prompts

1. Planned: You've been planning to tell this person how you feel, and you know exactly the way to do it.

2. Spontaneous: Uh-oh, it just slipped out! Maybe you weren't thinking, maybe it was a fight, but somehow, your secret's out.

3. Heat of the Moment: What's better than calling someone's name out in the trows of passion? Why, telling them you love them, of course!

4. The Last Time: You're coming clean with your feelings because you're dying, moving away, leaving the planet, going to war, whatever. Might as well when you'll probably never see them again.

5. Jealousy: You've seen the one you love in the arms of another, and you just have to let your feelings be known so they don't end up with the wrong person! Selfish, what's selfish?

6. Drunk: A drunk man's words are a sober man's thoughts, so maybe you should be careful what you say, or you'll be telling your best friend you have the hots for her. Awkward.

7. Lie: You don't actually have feelings for this person, but you need them to believe that you do in order to use them, get something, or perhaps to not hurt their feelings.

8. Sweet: You confess...and they feel the same, and have wanted to say it for a while. Oh, how cute! Go on and enjoy your cute little romance.

9. One-sided: One of you confessed, but it's completely unrequited. Can you still be friends, or is that too painful?

10. Forbidden: Your love for this person is totally uncool - not allowed, even. But it has to be brought to light, preferably by you.

11. Unfulfilled: While you both love each other, you decided mutually that this can't go any further.

[Do these two even count for this meme?]

[Really no...and yet this scene popped into my head and won't leave...so here you go Karen.]

Malcolm's hands shook slightly as he dressed in this Archer outfit. He'd thought his past was behind him at last and now he knew the past never truly left you. Ra's Al Ghul had come to town and demanded Malcolm return to the League. He'd managed to request a trial by combat but he wasn't sure it was going to come out well. In fact he was assuming it wouldn't. But Karen would be safe and to him that was all that mattered.

He finished suiting up and turned around. "Oh," he says softly not realizing anyone had been watching him.

[secondshift]

"I'm good at that," Karen commented, leaning up against the wall. "Also, we have these things where I can triangulate positions now and you left your phone on." She paused. "You're really worried about this."

[welldressedevil]

Malcolm mentally curses leaving his phone on, but he would blame his nerves for that. "Yes," he says, "I left under good will and have done my best to uphold the better morals of the League but an oath is an oath."

[secondshift]

"You know I still don't know what any of that means." She shook her head. "You do what you think is best. I've always said that. I just wasn't sure I'd ever see you again."

[welldressedevil]

"I know," Malcolm says softly, "I didn't mean to keep any of this from you. I just...I thought this was done. That being Ra's right hand was behind me."

[secondshift]

"You don't have to explain." Karen shook her head. "To be honest, I didn't understand any of this when I met you and I still don't understand most of it. You do what you have to do and I'll trust you."

They shared a long look. Their relationship was so complicated it was ridiculous. Yet both kept coming back.

[welldressedevil]

"Karen," Malcolm said softly moving into her personal space. He knew this was a bad idea and that he shouldn't say anything, but he didn't know if he'd come back from this. People very rarely did. "I know we've never put a name to what we have but I need to say this in case I never get the chance. I love you."

[secondshift]

To say she was surprised didn't cover it. He'd never said it and yet she knew it was true from how he kept coming back. "I love you too," she said softly. She wanted to pull him close but wasn't sure she should with all the getup.

[welldressedevil]

Malcolm has no such hesitation he leans in and kisses her wrapping one arm around her waist. He needs this as a memory to see him through the coming days.

[secondshift]

She kissed him back, letting herself lose herself in it for a moment. They haven't always agreed but one thing he's always made clear is that he cares about her, and she appreciates that. She also doesn't want to think about losing someone else. So she might be a little bit desperate.

[welldressedevil]

He's desperate too, desperate to protect the people he love, desperate to escape his past and find a new life. He knows he's done some things he shouldn't be proud of and he will spend the rest of his life making up for his mistakes. That is provided he gets the chance to come home and start over. He pulls away and rests his forehead against hers.

"I'll do everything I can to come home," he whispers.
