Unresolved Romantic Tension

unresolved romantic tension

Oh my god, there is nothing more frustrating than when you want to kiss someone and press them against a wall, but for some reason, you can’t—or when you see two people who are obviously in love and you want to shove them into a room already. What is preventing you two from getting together? Can anyone end this?

prompts

1. BOSS ✖ A romance with a higher up or your boss is taboo for many good reasons, but you’re finding yourself falling in love with them anyways. Will others approve? Will one of you have to quit your job to not get the other into trouble?

2. JUST FRIENDS ✖ Talk about one of the biggest roadblocks to love ever! You want to kiss them, but you don’t want to ruin your current relationship. What are you going to do? Will you get the guts to confess and hope for the best?

3. GOALS ✖ You want to tear down a building to build an apartment complex, they want to make it a historical landmark. Opposing dreams and goals are huge roadblocks, especially if you happen to want to ‘sleep with the enemy’… literally.

4. TEAMMATES ✖ You work well together, you can depend on them no matter what, and you get along outside of the office or game. What you feel is just that happy camaraderie, not any mushy feelings of love or romantic affection! Is it?

5. DENIAL ✖ No, no way. You do not love that other person. They are stupid or just too prideful or you’re not interested in them at all. Ha, admit it, you totally are. Now go over there and admit your feelings before everyone around you goes insane.

6. COWORKERS ✖ Oh, this is awful. You really, really like your coworker, but there is a no dating policy, or they don’t date coworkers under any circumstances. Dare you make a move after hours or in the break room? It could be worse; you could have the hots for your boss.

7. POLITICS ✖ Clashing beliefs and heated debates always gets the blood pumping, and even though you have sworn to defeat them and get your bill pushed through, their eyes make your heart jump and makes you reconsider your ideals… Can you find a compromise or let bygones be bygones?

8. TAKEN ✖ Oh god. How can you confess to someone who is already taken? Why are you even feeling like this? You must never let them know. Ignore everyone who is encouraging you to take a leap of faith anyways. They are taken and that is that.

9. SOCIAL CLASS ✖ She is a princess, you are a stable boy, he is a rich lord, you are the scullery maid… Money is an important factor to any relationship, and sometimes, it can be one of the barriers. But how long are you going to let positions and titles keep you apart?

10. PRIDE ✖ You? Be in love with someone like that? Ha! No way. You are far above them, and you deserve only the best love. But… what if they are the best love and you just don’t realize it yet?

11. FAMILY FEUD ✖ One of the most famous of all the situations, for some reason, your families are fighting and as much as you like the other person, you can’t betray your family this way. But is there a good reason for the feud? Or a misunderstanding? Will true love conquer all without the abundance of death?

12. OBLIVIOUS ✖ This is the most frustrating one ever. It’s not that they hate each other or someone else is making a barrier, it’s just that they you have no idea how good of a couple you would make or how you always flirt with each other. Will one of you realize it, or does someone need to give you a push?

13. DUTY ✖ Bound by honor and loyalty, you can never cross the line that divides you and your love, be it that you swore to protect them or they serve you. Or will you? How will others react to this? Might it be considered forbidden?

14. FRIEND-ZONED ✖ Oh no, it's not what you think. You see, your best friend likes the person you like, and they are trying to go on a date with them (or get into their bed). But you can't let either of them know, because that is not what good friends do. But what do you do if your mutual crush is interested in you anyways?

15. WILDCARD ✖ Is there something we missed? Is there another scenario you want to play out, or would you like to roll the dice again? Go for it!

[Have seen last night's ep]

[The god and the virgin priest sworn to his service? Alcuin's canon is French Renaissance AU, but he can easily go Ancient Greek (or modern, as you prefer, though we might need a different starter for that).]

Alcuin had been in love with his god for as long as he could remember.

The gleaming white temple in Apollo's honor was filled with his images, and the priests were educated in music and art to fill their days and to bring pleasure to their god. Alcuin devoted himself to his studies, and he often played late into the night, eyes lingering upon one of the glittering gold or marble statues of Apollo. He had been sworn to Apollo since he had been a child, a foundling left to the temple after his parents had died in a foreign invasion.

He knew he would never be so fortunate as to see his god, though he believed with all his heart and adored the idea of Apollo above all earthly things. As he grew, his childlike adoration matured into a different kind of longing, one that kept him awake late into the night, tormented by longing.

On this particular evening, he was playing the lyre alone in one of the temple rooms. He played quietly, so as to not bother the other priests, but with surpassing sweetness, pouring all of his longing into the music, though there was no reply, and had never been a reply.

As he rose to go away to bed, he crept close to the marble statue of Apollo. It was as flawless and untouchable as it had ever been, with a divine beauty that surpassed even Alcuin's delicate, porcelain features. Glancing around once to be certain he was alone, Alcuin leaned up and pressed a soft, chaste kiss to the cool stone lips of the statue, risking heresy out of love.

( This looks perfect to me! )

It was not unusual for his temples to be filled with adoration and devotion. In fact, it would be quite odd if he did not sense these things from his priests as he rode his sun chariot across the sky each morning, as he wandered the forests and played his music, herded the flock as a shepherd when it caught his fancy. The prayers of his priests brought him delight—as did their music and composing, studies, and beauty. It was only expected that they would place him above all else.

What was not usual was the echo of strings wracked with emotion; sweet, longing, in a way that caught his ear. Perhaps it only caught his attention at all because so much else was silent this night. Mortals asleep, their breaths gentle, Morpheus at play in their minds. It was from the gleaming temple close to where he'd been teasing nymphs before pausing to watch Artemis gleam across the sky in a bolt of silver.

And now that he had heard it, and felt the emotion, how could he not be intrigued? Especially when it was characteristically different from the regular adoration he felt from the rest of the mortals inside. Different from the respect, fear, and reverence.

The temple was beautiful like all the others—nothing less than expected. The marble that caught his likeness, he thought, did not do him quite enough justice (he was much more beautiful than that) but it was the best mortals could do with mortal hands. Catching the true beauty of a god was not easy. The closest they had come was catching the likeness of Aphrodite's bottom on that one statue—all men who saw it could not help but kiss it. The gods had laughed about that one for weeks.

But there was a lovely creature at the marble's base. One of his priests? Ah. He remembered this one—though last he had seen him he'd been young, hadn't even neared the grace of being a young man yet. Now he had grown into himself, beardless and probably would always be with such a delicate face (just as well, as Apollo was the protector of youthful, beardless men such as himself). Worshiping him as he should—not unusual until the youth pressed a chaste kiss against the stone. Though it was not to his person he felt the brief tingle to his lips—he felt all offerings, especially ones with longing and passion, seemingly chaste as they were.

Intriguing.

He would know more of this mortal, he decided. But not without a test.

So he changed into the likeness of one of the oldest temple priests, stepping out from behind one of the pillars and into the moonlight. "What are you doing, child?"
