I wanna ruin our friendship, we should be lovers instead.



BLURRED


For most people, the lines between platonic and romantic are very clearly drawn. Not true for you two; friendship and romance intermingle in your relationship, and to be honest, it's hard to discern where one ends and the other begins. You're bosom buddies. There's a spark between you. You're lovers, too, maybe, or it could be completely innocent. You're love interests. You're intimate, you're close, you're ride or die. You don't understand why romantic and platonic can't coexist. You don't need labels.

HOW TO PLAY

  • Comment with your character and preferences, i.e. no smut, etc. Feel free to include as much or as little information as you'd like.
  • Reply to others.
  • RNG for a prompt or choose your own.


PROMPTS

  1. Since Forever: You've always been friends, ever since you were young, so this closeness is an outgrowth of that.

  2. Natural Connection: Some people just click. You guys go together like peanut butter and jelly.

  3. Love Everyone: At least one of you is the type to shower love and affection on everyone you meet.

  4. No More Darkness: They drug you out of your not-so-pleasant path, so you cling to them.

  5. Owe Them Everything: You owe them a solid. You're now more than simple friends.

  6. No Big Deal: You don't understand romance as separated from friendship.

  7. Cultural: Your culture doesn't discern so heavily between "lover" and "friend," a la troll society in Homestuck.

  8. Closeness: Hugs, cuddles, and kisses, oh my!

  9. All My Secrets Away: They know everything about you and can be there if you need help.

  10. The Most Important Person: They're not merely a special person to you, they're The Person.

  11. UST: Just because your relationship is unconventional doesn't mean there can't be a few unresolved issues, can it?

  12. Intimacy: More like Friends with Benefits.

  13. Feel More Comfortable with You: So, you kinda want to try this whole sex thing. May as well do it with the one you trust implicitly.

  14. No One Understands Me Like You Do: In general, not many get you. But this person does and it's such a relief.

  15. Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood: Why do people keep thinking you're a couple? Okay, by some definitions, you are, but these guys are trying to limit you!

  16. Assisted Romance: One of you has a crush on someone outside the duo. The other is supportive...and wants to give some tips.

  17. Want to Be More: You want to actually be official and exclusive.

  18. Jealousy: All the attention your - well, not partner - sort-of-significant-bff has been giving other people really raises your hackles.

  19. Unspoken: You two don't have to speak or say anything about your status; you know what you are.

  20. Say You Love Me: ...still, you wouldn't mind hearing the l-o-v-e word.

  21. Realization: The person you want to be with forever, maybe even in a completely romantic context, is right in front of you.

  22. Bros Before Hos: You won't pursue or engage with someone outside the twosome because it bothers your special someone.

  23. Upgrade: You've decided to renegotiate the terms of your relationship.

  24. Romantic/Platonic Life Partners: No matter what happens, you guys are content to continue on as you are, even to life partner levels.

What better way to celebrate a relatively quiet week on base than with a date? And not the usual everybody gets together and lays all over each other while a few holovids play. A one-on-one date date ... not that Rey really knows what a date is supposed to entail - mostly, she figures that she and Bee will figure it out as they go.

That's what they've been doing thus far, anyway, and maybe there have been a few missteps along the way, but for the most part, she's pretty content with their relationship as it is - it hadn't taken long for hugs and cuddles to shift into kisses and sometimes sharing beds, and lots of blushing and shy fumbling, and, well, maybe it's time to take that next logical step.

Which is why she's picked out her nicest outfit from her meager wardrobe, tried to make her quarters as inviting as possible, unable to keep from nervously pacing back and forth, anticipating the knock that will announce his arrival.

No reason to be nervous, right?

Bee has never been on a date. Not a date date. There's never really been time for that, what with the whole trying-to-save-the-galaxy-from-evil-dudes thing. But the time he's spent with Rey has been good, despite his own shyness and inexperience, and he wants more of that sort of time - time just for the two of them, no worrying or fighting or trying to survive.

So (with Poe's help, of course) he's put together the best outfit possible, picked some flowers from the small gardens dotting the edges of the base, and done his best to not be nervous.

Not that it helps. He's still nervous.

When he knocks on her door, he feels himself overthinking things, his brain full of what ifs. But when it opens and he sees her standing there, dressed in the nicest clothes he's ever seen her in, well. He sort of forgets everything else and just smiles this big, silly grin, feeling his stomach flutter.

Extending the flowers towards her, he says softly, "These are for you."

They're starting this one off on equal footing, then, which helped somewhat to quell Rey's nerves. There was always something to worry about, the threat of danger looming overhead, and it just didn't seem fair to either of them to keep from trying to live semi-normal lives during the quiet times. They came so few and far between, after all.

She's asked everyone she knows for advice, and most of them have confused her with differing ideas about what a perfect date included. It was a small base, there weren't exactly a ton of choices. So, she figured dinner was the safest bet.

Except ... she wasn't a great cook, and her quarters still smell a little like acrid smoke, even after being aired out for the most of the afternoon. Not a complete disaster, but also not the best start.

But when the knock announces his arrival, an she opens it, and she's faced with that lovely smile and the beautiful flowers ... she found herself thinking that maybe it wasn't going to be so bad after all. "Oh, they're so pretty!", she breathed, stepping out of the way to let him inside. "Thank you."

[It had been an awkward moment, but Kristoph had smiled through it calmly and hadn't bothered to point out the man's mistake. It hadn't been the first time that someone, while addressing them together, had made the mistake of referring to them them jointly, as if they were a couple.

He supposes it's an easy assumption to make. They are friendly with each other, and he is sure to make nice with the esteemed and influential Sir Hellsing. Why wouldn't he? A connection like that brightens his own reputation and brings him work. He wouldn't mind being closer to someone like her. They do make a handsome couple, blond and tall. He can appreciate that. He enjoys the aesthetics of the idea. Of course, Sir Hellsing is a very impressive woman. Not one to be trifled with.

Once their mutual acquaintance is gone, Kristoph offers her a faint, conspiratorial smile.

So, where are we summering this year?

[He repeats the man's question lightly, as if making a gentle joke at his expense.]
