Sudden Realization

[considers]

the sudden realization of attraction emotions LOVE meme

In retrospect, you've probably had these feelings for this person for forever, you've just never noticed them right in front of your eyes. After all, emotions like this don't pop out of nowhere. But it seems like it, because you've just noticed you like - maybe even l.o.v.e. - this person...or at least be attracted to them in a BIG BIG way. Of course, it may have to do with the outside pushes and shoves that had led you to this conclusion; surely, though, there had been hints before. Oh, there were? You never thought about it? You repressed it? You refused to believe?

Well. Reality is here to smack you right in this face, probably at the least oppertune moments. That's how these realizations tend to work. Who this person is to you - classmate, ally, brother in arms, worst enemy, best friend - varies, and so can your reaction. You can be embarrassed, confess from the highest mountain, continue to ignore those feelings because that's completely healthy, or let your instinct run wild and kiss them right on the mouth. It's all up to you.

Don't say you didn't realize.

Prompts

1. You two were having fun, until...boom. Right in the fondness. Things got real.
2. Just like in kindergarden, they were mean to you.
3. They were caring for you or comforting you, showing affection or healing.
4. They were teasing you.
5. You were arguing. I hate you! I LOVE you! Oops.

15. Just like the middle ages - or maybe it is the middle ages - you've learned that they're promised to someone else.
16. You've learned they're with someone else of their own will.
17. Jealousy is an ugly trait, but even though they're not with that other person, you can't help but jump to conclusions. Why do you care so much?

19. They call you out on your feelings, or ask you why you are the way you are.
20. The attraction's one-sided...right? It has to be.

Princess Leia | SW: Empire Strikes Back | M/F

[ouronlyhope]

[Gratuitous Leia appearance]

[the_dark_is_afraid_of_me]

[Ludicrous crossover y/n?]

[ouronlyhope]

[Certainly. Any prompts particularly attractive?]

[the_dark_is_afraid_of_me]

[17 or 11 (if you prefer crack)?]

[ouronlyhope]

[17. He could be a bodyguard whose feelings get real, if that works for you. Let me know if you have a starter, or would like me to start.]

17!!!

[the_dark_is_afraid_of_me]

[The last place The Company would look for Riddick was in plain sight. At least, that was the theory. And if his theory was wrong, well, there were plenty of warm bodies and fat bank accounts to dissuade any of the usual caliber that took up Company contracts.

[So that was why he was always looking over a shoulder, always just on a knife's edge. That was it. It had to be.]

No.

[Hey, she asked him his opinion about security for this little...meetup she had planned. That was his opinion. No. Definitely not.]

[ouronlyhope]

[Leia placed her hands on her hips, staring at him with a combination of disbelief and frustration]

No?

That is the only input you have?

[the_dark_is_afraid_of_me]

Fuck no.

[Something about the way she stood, arms akimbo like that, etched the scowl a little deeper onto his face.]

That better, princess?

[ouronlyhope]

[She frowned at him when he called her 'princess'. Why did he have to be so frustrating?]

Fine. I will ask someone else.

[There were plenty of other guards who would help her. After all, the man whom she was meeting was very important to her cause.]

[the_dark_is_afraid_of_me]

[She can frown all she wants. But if anyone's being frustrating around here, it's her. He's just doing his job.]

Like hell you will. [He'll just casually step in front of her. Go on and frown all you want, princess. You barely come up to his shoulder.]

Pay me to do a job, I'm gonna do it.

[ouronlyhope]

[Leia sighs. She stares up at his unmoveable frame with a determined look on her face.]

You just refused to do your job. I must make this meeting.

[the_dark_is_afraid_of_me]

[Oh, hell no. She did not just accuse him of not doing his job.]

I just refused to let you go out 'n get yourself ambushed. That is my job.

[He folds his arms over his chest.]

Why?

[This meeting's important, huh? Right.]

[ouronlyhope]

Why do you think it is an ambush? [She puts her hands on her hips again.]

I have to meet Edgar alone. He is an important official from a neighboring region, and we must discuss a working relationship.

[the_dark_is_afraid_of_me]

'Cause I said it is.

[He's debating if grabbing her by the shoulders and lifting her up a bit might be more convincing.]

Alone. Right. Doesn't sound suspicious to you?

[The word 'relationship' also sounds sketchy.]

[ouronlyhope]

I have known Edgar since I was a child.

[Leia realizes that arguing the point won't help her make the scheduled meeting time]

Then if you feel it is an ambush, what would you suggest.

[the_dark_is_afraid_of_me]

[Yyyyyyeah, that doesn't help.]

Doesn't mean he won't turn on you.

[Loyalty? Yeah, Riddick's seen how far that gets you.]

Not going alone, for a fuckin' start.

[ouronlyhope]

If he had wanted to turn on me, he would have gotten further by staying my betrothed.

[Leia sighs softly.]

So now, you want to come along?

[the_dark_is_afraid_of_me]

'Betrothed'.

[She might hear the airquotes there, and most likely catches the way his eyes narrow. Really. Betrothed. ]

[He draws himself up even taller.]

Bodyguard. Name of the job.

You're the one that's saying this has to be alone.

[Alone. Her and this 'Edgar'. ]

[ouronlyhope]

When we were children. [She is a Princess. These things happen in her world]

Edgar is not going to appreciate this. [But in saying this, Leia agrees for him to stay with her during the meeting]

[the_dark_is_afraid_of_me]

So. What? You ditch him or him you?

[It's important information. Somehow. ]

Do I look like I give a fuck what 'Edgar' thinks?

[No. The answer is no. ]

[ouronlyhope]

That is not important information. [And somehow makes Leia uneasy, thinking about it]

We better hurry if we are to make the meeting.

[the_dark_is_afraid_of_me]

Could be vital. You know, give him motive to betray you.

[See? it's all related to his job.]

[ Partial victory: he'll take it. ] Where's this meet happening? Need to scout it first.

[ouronlyhope]

[Her face tightens into a frown] We were children. Neither of us were the right match for each other.

[Good luck getting her to reveal more than that.]

In his Manor. It is just a short walk away.

[the_dark_is_afraid_of_me]

[ If there wasn't some kind of deadline here, she could bet that he'd damn sure try his luck getting more out of her. Instead, he'll just give a sound like a growl. ]

His Manor. You're going willingly, into a place entirely under his control.

[THis is why she's the princess and he's the bodyguard. He knows stupid ideas when he hears them.]

[ouronlyhope]

I was going to go in wearing a disguise. [Leia pointed out sternly.]
