( taken care of )

Completely Pampered Shipping Meme


Who in the world could hate kindness? Sweetness? Conscientiousness? All of us, on some level, like to be pampered and taken care of, from the most churlish to the most pleasant. Yes, even those grouchy grumps, or, of course, the cool-headed psychos -

Okay, maybe not all of us to the same degree.

Regardless of your disposition, somehow, you've gained a doting significant other. It seems like they find their greatest pleasure in taking care of and looking out for you. This may manifest in them simply trying to keep you entertained, happy, and healthy; it could also come in the form of them being a domestic doter, taking care of all your needs. Be it the former or the latter, there's an inherent adorableness that comes with their efforts and generosity, and in return, you have an urge to protect and care for them. They're just too precious for this world! Only, you know, there's a good chance you can a. ignore this, because you're emotionally stunted and full of wo/manpain, or b. repress it because you're a badass and would never.

Unless you've completely disregarded all that because they're just too much and you want to hold them forever.

So, how do you feel about all this? Do you wish they'd stop with this foolishness (not really)? Are you pushing them away? Are you embarrassed? Maybe you're absolutely taken with them! Just realize that you have it incredibly good.

HOW TO PLAY
• Comment with your character, preferences, their role, any info, etc.
• Reply to others.

ROLE
Usual: This is how they always are. "Caring" is in their nature.
Unexpected: They don't seem like the type...but with you, they are.
Terrible at It: They're trying hard, yet it seems like they fail at trying to take care of you. Depending on who you are, though, that may just make them more endearing.
Because You Like It: They heard you like those who are sweet and kind, so they're trying to change their ways.
Not Together: Technically, you're not together romantically, but everyone knows the truth.
The Doted Upon: What it says on the tin!

PROMPTS
Feeding: Whether they cook for you or have moments where they feed you, literally, they take your nutrition seriously.
Massage: Let them work out all those kinks.
Clean You Up: Here, they've drawn a warm bath for you.
Dress Your Wounds: If you're the kind of person who gets in battles, they'll see that you're all patched up.
Singing: Or telling stories, or otherwise calming you down.
Lap Rest: Sometimes, their lap is the best pillow.
A Shoulder to Cry On: When you have troubles, they're always there to listen.
The Calming Force: If you have moments of terror from past trauma, they're always willing to put themselves on the line to bring you back to reality, even if it puts them in danger.
Soft Kisses: Their kisses feel so good, and they're never demanding.
Head Pat: Sometimes, a simple gesture can mean the most.
Grooming: They'll fix your hair - or at least play with it - and help you shave.
Gifts: Homemade or expensive, they like to shower you in presents.
Lovemaking: The obligatory smut option, where they're a generous lover.
Protector: They look out for you, and while they don't seem that way, if you're threatened, they get like a bear protecting her cubs.
Gentle Giant: They make you feel so small and delicate.
Reverse: For once, you want to dote on and take care of them.
Unwilling: It's a wonder they still try to care for you, because you're cruel to them and rebuff them at every turn, even if you really don't mean it.
It's Okay to Cry: They never get upset because they don't want to put that on you. You want to let them know they can let it all out.

[Serah has been a bit pre-occupied with everything that had happened, but now that they can focus on wedding plans and the little details, it was nice to just... slow down a little. But with all of this wedding planning, she couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed. At least Snow was there with her to help her through it. Lying on the couch, she was resting head in his lap.]

He takes such good care of her. He's always making sure that she's doing okay, sometimes at his own expense. It's nice, some days, to feel like she can return the favor.

So of course, one weekend when he's been seeming particularly stressed out and hasn't slept in far too long, she clings tight to him as he wakes and moves to go about his day.

"Just stay a little longer in bed, mm?"
ofthecubs: (brushing up on looking down)

coinflip said canon but i may be back for arthuriana

[personal profile] ofthecubs 2016-03-07 09:02 pm (UTC)(link)
It's always a little bit better at the very end of the night. It's always a little easier when he can drop off in sheer exhaustion, listening to the soft sound of Rachel's heartbeat. And it's always a little better when he first wakes up and feels her still pressed snug against him.

It's just that, lately, things have been falling off again quickly into an ocean of responsibilities.

There's already a crease of a frown in his brow as he stops shifting out of bed. "...why? Y' okay, Rach?"
theunpressuredclub: (looking up)

[personal profile] theunpressuredclub 2016-03-07 09:33 pm (UTC)(link)
She nods, clinging a little closer to him.

"'m okay-- I just want t'stay close to you for a little longer."
ofthecubs: (no one saying be there)

[personal profile] ofthecubs 2016-03-07 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)
That gets a blink. Then, thankfully, it also gets a proper settling back in, his arms moving to pull properly tight around her waist.

"You're sure?"

"'m sure." And she's going to settle in snugly before she adds, "'m still tired, 'nd we haven't had time to-- cuddle t'gether all week. You don't have to be anywhere 'til noon, right?"
ofthecubs: (no one saying see here)

[personal profile] ofthecubs 2016-03-08 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
"...I don't."

Which has his shoulders beginning to relax properly again. Which certainly has the tiniest hint of a smile beginning to settle over his lips again.

"We can cuddle."
theunpressuredclub: (all dressed up)

[personal profile] theunpressuredclub 2016-03-08 04:03 pm (UTC)(link)
"Awesome."

Staying in close is important. She'll wait until she feels him relaxing a little more before she murmurs what's her more primary concern.

"...Been a bit-- worried about you, too, nn? You haven't-- slept all that much this week."

So cuddling is clearly the solution.

Saitama surveyed the damage in search for his apprentice. Genos stubbornly insisted on taking out the monster alone, and - as far as his eyes proved - succeeded. Now all he had to do is to find him, inluding any damaged and lost limbs, and head back home.
scrap_metal: (did I just set a passerby on fire?)

[personal profile] scrap_metal 2016-03-08 06:35 pm (UTC)(link)
There's sound of shuffling somewhere in all that smoke. Gust of wind cleared some of the vapours, showing Genos form. His left leg seemed to be dislocated, hindering his movement, and there was overall damage. But he wasn't left in pieces this time.

"Sensei..?" he blinks surprised, but his face lightens noticeably with pride.

[personal profile] toasters_egg 2016-03-08 06:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Saitama smiled with relief. He jogged to his apprentice, while trying to assess the amount of damage he sustained.

"Great! You did it, and you're still in one piece."
scrap_metal: (looking back)

[personal profile] scrap_metal 2016-03-08 06:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Genos cringed when his foot almost gave up under him, but he managed to keep balance.

"I am glad I did not disappointed your expectations." he said. He wasn't offended by the reminder that he often ends in various state of dismantlement. Quite the opposite, the honest praise made him happy.

And then he made a wrong step. His dislodged leg gave up under him, all joints folding under his weight.
