We could keep it secret... "We'd be living a lie. One we couldn't keep, even if we wanted to."

should be chaste
a shipping meme

You've dedicated yourself to something loftier than pleasures of the flesh, whether it be something religious or metaphysical or even just for the good of those around you. That's something you should be commended for. Not many would be able to show such resolve. In addition to keeping away from sexual contact, though, you must also shy away from emotional intimacy - so, romance. That may seem easy at first, as all you really need in life is your determination, but what happens when you find the one after you've already swore you'd never pursue them?

Will love find a way or is conviction too strong?

PROMPTS

1. Solemn Vow: Whether you're joining a religious faction or a knightly order, you have to make an official promise to stay away from love.


2. Self-Induced: Affection? Romance? No, you don't need it. You'll abstain, thank you.


3. Temporary: Just for now, you have to focus on what's important, and that means no relationship.


4. Cultural: Your people are celibate by tradition. Do you want to be the one to break said tradition?


5. Moral: Just falling in love willy nilly is against your code of ethics. You're saving yourself and not seeing the forest for the trees.


6. Cause to Serve: There can only be one thing you're dedicated to.


7. Distraction: Love is nothing but a detour, and you'll have none of it.


8. Indifference: You've never noticed someone in a romantic light. In fact, you've been disdainful of all that...until now.


9. Hung Up: The person you want is who you can't have, so you'll never look for anyone else, even if that means you miss what's right in front of you.


10. Logical: You're a Elsa or a Bruce Banner kind of person. Conceal, don't feel. You can't have a romance because you would hurt whoever you would be with.


11. Mutually Celibate: Both of you are forbidden to be in love. Well, see how well that went?


12. Opposites: For all you discipline, they have absolutely none. It should be infuriating, yet it draws you to them.


13. Teasing: They know you're not supposed to approach them in that way, so they'll act the part of the forbidden fruit.


14. In Charge: You're not only supposed to be celibate, you're also their superior in some fashion. Perhaps you're even in charge of their mortal soul!


15. Pining: Exchanged glances, longing thoughts, subtle touches, the whole nine yards.


16. One Sided: They want you, and you're not sure how to let them down without hurting them.


17. Tragedy: A forbidden love almost always is rife with this. Go for the melodrama.


18. Sexual: What's between you two is purely sexual - isn't it?


19. First Time: Every


20. Give It Up: You've decided to give up on your chastity to be with the person you care for.


21. Ships Pass in the Night: Right people, wrong time. You let it go. Still, you can't help but wonder how things could have been.


22. Make Them Worldly: Your beloved wants to teach you all that you've missed out on by being pious, be that just experiences or something sexual.


23. Happy Endings: What it says on the tin.


24. Bad Ending: Again, what it says on the tin.
