Keep it secret. Keep it safe.

[hydrates]

SECRET relationship; The fact that you're in a relationship with this person isn't public knowledge. Actually, no one knows about it except for the people involved. Maybe you guys are just private like that; on the other hand, it may be a necessity to keep things a secret from others. Maybe you're both team mates, and others on the team would give you grief, or you're not suppose to be dating, or you're not the type to usually date and you're only testing the waters. Perhaps it's the combination of you two, possibly an odd couple, that would bring some controversy or some teasing. Or, you know, you could not want to deal with friends and relatives being busybodies. Your reasons are your own. Are you content with stealing moments to be together as a couple? Do you want to make your relationship known and the fact that you can't drives you batty? Remember, there are lots of benefits to dating in secret. You can be yourselves completely, away from prying eyes, and get to know each other better as potential longterm romantic partners. In a way, it's ideal. ...still, do you ever wish you could scream from the rooftops how much you care for your significant other? how to play. ★ Comment with your character, preferences, and information. ★ Reply to others. ★ Play out stolen moments (◡‿◡✿), secret dates (◕‿◕✿), secret handholding (⊙‿⊙✿), and secret kissing ( /)w(\✿)!

[Momo doesn't like dudes.

Not like that. Sure, he's been turned on -- excited by Rin-senpai's cleavage on at least one occasion, and maybe sharing porn and proceeding to part two with a buddy never seemed like an outwardly gay (or bad) idea, but accidentally making out with Lev in a spur-of-the-moment burst of excitement was uh, just that.

Or supposed to be just that. It wasn't unpleasant, though he was suddenly filled with the intense need to avoid him at all costs all the time making their friendship totally strained and complicated.

Which is why he's meeting Lev at the movies in secret. It's only a secret to him, because everything since then regarding Lev has been top secret. Nobody can know. The closet has been affixed with gorilla glue and he's perfectly fine with sitting back and inhaling those fumes forever.

Whatever that analogy means.]

[longcats]

[ ... sure, okay, making out with a guy wasn't exactly on lev's to-do list. then again! it had been a lot of fun, and momo is small and cute and also fun, so? there isn't much of an issue, really. ... or, at least, there hadn't been, right up until momo bolted and started avoiding him.

that had not been fun. :(

but!! now they are meeting at the movies, and momo had stressed expressly in the text he'd sent that the whole thing was supposed to be a secret. and lev isn't entirely sure why, but secrets are very exciting!! maybe they are going to pretend to be spies? spies going to the movies? (he'd almost texted yaku to ask whether or not he should wear a mask, remembered at the last second that all of this was supposed to be a secret, and... decided that movie theaters might not exactly be totally accepting of people creeping around in masks.)

so here he is, very excited and also very maskless, lighting up like a million watt bulb the moment he spots momo's shock of bright hair. immediately, he goes bouncing up behind him, wrapping his arms around the smaller boy from behind and lifting him bodily off the ground with the force of a Giant Hug!! ]

Momo! [ ... people may or may not be staring. but that is what happens when you hang out with a super cool ace!! ] I did exactly what you said! And didn't tell anyone! Even when my sister asked where I was going, all I said was...

[ a dramatic pause. ] ... out!

[ottery]

[Maybe one day Momo can learn how to be steely from this dude -- or at least give less of a fuck about accidental makeouts and provide more of a shit about maintaining friendships. Until then, he's going to be twitchy, over-the-top about the whole thing. Hyper reactive.

He seizes up, twitches as he's simultaneously lifted and called out to?!]

AGHK-! LEV-SENPAI?!

[And there's automatic flailing to be had. This is terrifying. Like a big gay carnival ride he never signed up for.]

You're telling everyone now, hey! HEY!

[Everyone has to be staring at them. That's as bad as screaming questionable things off a rooftop. Rather than trying to pry Lev's arms off, he's lifted his own and begun shoving at the dude's chin?!

Survival instincts and having bad ones: Momo's life.]

[longcats]

[ there's no way that those hands shoving insistently at his chin mean that momo wants to be put down, right? of course not! who wouldn't want an extra-long hug in front of a random group of strangers!!

so lev's just letting the shoving push his head back, directing his slightly befuddled look up at the ceiling. ]

Don't the people here already know where we are? [ maybe he should have worn the mask. but!! then again, momo isn't wearing any sort of disguise, so... hmmm... ] It'd be much harder to keep it a secret from them.

[ottery]

It's worse!

[They're suspicious of the obviously. Judging. Assuming things about them -- misconceptions. He's wiggling, refusing to make any sort of eye contact with anybody in the vicinity.

Hopefully no one calls the police.]

P-put me down-?! We're gonna be late!

[longcats]

Oh! You should have said so before!

[ which is all the warning momo is gonna get before lev... drops him abruptly. ]

What time is the movie starting? [ shifting from foot to foot, impossibly excited. ] We should hurry! To get the best seats possible!

[ottery]

[And Momo lands directly on his ass.

It's not even like the fall was that dramatic, but Momo's a dramatic person. Ass to the ground it is.]

LEV!

[If people weren't staring, they gotta be now -- except for the really busy people who're just passing through and want nothing to do with the movie theater.

He looks directly up at the tallest Russian on Earth, distinctly buttfamished.]

We're not sitting right up front! It doesn't make the movie seem 3D at all.

[longcats]

[ if that LEV! makes him feel guilty at all (it does not), he's definitely not bothering to... actually do anything about it. like help momo up, for instance.

there are greater things at stake, here. ]

But what if someone sits in front of us! Someone with a very tall hat!

[ottery]

We'll make them take it off!

[It's okay. He's gathering himself well enough, dusting his butt off. Keeping it 100%.]

They made the first row way too close. We can always move around, it's not like we have assigned seats...

[And he's not gonna sacrifice his eyesight for--er.]

What're we gonna watch anyway?
