LOVE CONFESSIONS


You can't be around this person without your stomach tying up in knots or your heart skipping a beat. You know, all those cliches people use to describe that feeling of being in love with someone close to you.

You've finally decided it's time to share those feelings of yours and get them out in the open, even if it doesn't end well for you!

<sub>- post your characters, name/series/preferences in the subject.

_{and roll and respond.}

1. extravagant confession. You've set up a wonderful night, planned everything down to the T to make sure it's perfect for your confession!
2. note/text. You couldn't do it face to face, so you send a note or a text instead.
3. doomed. You know the other person doesn't love you or just can't be with you, but you need them to know how you feel anyway.
4. childish. You're not actually in love. You just have a childish crush on someone's close to you.
5. bittersweet. Things have all gone to hell anyway, so you might as well let everything out in the open, right?
6. in the heat of the moment. You guys are having an argument and you didn't mean to blurt out how you feel about them, but... oops.
7. serious. You're dead serious about this person, no doubt in your mind, and it's time to tell them.
8. a lie. You don't really love this person, but you're forced to play along either for their sake or because someone is forcing you to.
9. drunk confession. You're not in your right mind, either from drugs or alcohol, and you just let it all hang out about how you feel about this person.
10. lust confession. You don't love them exactly, you just want their body.
11. still in love. You were together once before and broke up for some reason, but you still love this person and they have to know it.
12. other. miss something? Play it out anyway!

[......yeah she's drunk.]

I don't see any particularly good reason why I should, given your apparent efforts to wake me.

[just going to read one of these now while she's right there...LET US SEE WHAT ALL THE FUSS IS ABOUT]

[thorny]

It's not my fault you wake up when people breathe heavily on you - not while I'm here!

[she practically shrieks the last part upon seeing him going for one of the notes, scrabbling at the door in an attempt to get it to help her stand back up.

if he isn't totally distracted by this and actually reads any of the notes, he'll find something like this:

David: (shaky little hearts are floating around the name)

You are a douche a dick a pretentious asshole DAVE STOP SUGGESTING WORDS THESE ARENT ROMANTIC

You can be very difficult to get along with, which isnt surprising because youre a Lalonde and Im not even close to being easy to deal with so why should you be, and I know that were currently in an ambiguous STRIDER STOP IT IS SPELLED CORRECTLY situation regarding our feelings.

i haven't made this any easier on you because ive been skirting around the issue as it frightens me quite a lot. but that isnt fair to either of us so I thought Id clear it up tonight.

(there are so many stars out tonight its really beautiful so I might steal you telescope after I deliver this)

I am very much you make me feel its strange to consider but

fuck it

david im in love with you and have been for quite a long time because even though strider was right and you are a douche and a prick and a pretentious asshat youre also a lot of other things that i admire very much

if I could stay with you forever that would be wonderful because your hair is so soft and you read me even when Im trying to be stoic and you know my books that no one else does NOT the wizard things and. Im running out of paper but hopefully you get the idea.

love (in a non passive-aggressive and genuinely sincere way)(really) Rose




ps i dont care that were technically doubly related and Strider says he doesn't either]

extremely

[tortileghostwriter]

[he glances up towards her for a second while she's finagling with the door, but he reads it easily enough and.

oh.

oh.

that's...fuck, she really is wasted.

they're all basically like that from what he can see. he'll read the rest later, but for now, he gets out of bed and starts towards her. Tousled hair and pajamas, but whatever. HE'S IN BETTER CONDITION THAN SHE IS.

good because that was difficult to write

[thorny]

[FUCK YOU SHE IS AT THE PINNACLE OF HER ABILITY RIGHT NOW

she sees him coming and braves hanging onto the door with one arm to wave him away frantically with the other. because that will obviously deter him oh yes. and if it doesn't her righteously outraged expression will.]

You're going to ruin everything if you keep this up! Let me leave, that's how this is supposed to work.

it's very appreciated

[tortileghostwriter]

[OH OF COURSE

once he reaches her, he half-bends down to get to her level. look at how deterred he is.]

Well, given how I was hardly involved in this apparent decision-making process despite my rather central role, I should see no reason to abide by it.

[he puts his arms around her.]

ok good

[thorny]

This sort of thing is exactly why we left you out of the planning session.

[she lets go of the door to return the hug, hands still flapping uselessly on him to try and usher him back to bed. she is so fucking determined to do this the right way, nothing can stop her.]

[tortileghostwriter]

It remains inexcusable.

[fine what if he did this]

[thorny]

[that would be really awesome and she would be all for that and returning it enthusiastically.

although she kind of reeks of alcohol, sorry about that.]

[tortileghostwriter]

[rad, then he's doing that. no aggression or anything either.

it's cool, he kind of expected that.]

[thorny]

[there's none of that on her side either, which is probably also to be expected. Rose is too drunk to play her usually emotionally stunted games even if he is ruining her AWESOME confession plan.]

[tortileghostwriter]

[yeah, well. after a bit more, he breaks it off. the little smile he gives her should give some hint of whether things are reciprocated or not.]

[thorny]

[a large smile spreads lazily across her face as Rose runs her hands along the arch of David's cheeks in the stilted way of a drunk trying to be careful.

after a moment she pronounces slowly and deliberately:]

I'm taking them back since you don't need them now that everything's gone all sour.

[tortileghostwriter]

Hmm, no. I believe I'll be holding onto them.

[fuck, he can't help but mirror that.

a pause, before...]

I wouldn't suppose that you're still interested in getting in a spot of stargazing?

[thorny]

But why would you want them? There's no point in them now because you mucked everything up.

[her eyebrows knit in consternation before brightening up again at his next question.]

If you think there's anything still out there to see now. It was so lovely when we were leaving the bar.

[tortileghostwriter]

It hardly matters.

[oh god, precious.

whatever response he may have had evaporates when he hears her pronoun choice, though.]

"We"?

[thorny]

[you can almost hear the train derailing itself in Rose's alcohol sodden mind as her expression moves somewhere into the panicked territory and her head snaps to stare down the hall]

Fuck. I think I left Strider outside.

[tortileghostwriter]

Why in the name of all that is decent is he here?

[thorny]

I couldn't walk here by myself. [David you are getting the duuuuh tone from a drunk I hope you're adequately shamed] Besides, he helped me compose the letters.

[tortileghostwriter]

Fair enough, I suppose... [oh absolutely just listen to that laugh] ...ah. That would explain some things.

[thorny]

[the corners of her mouth tug into a frown and she reaches out to clumsily pap him in the face. stop that.]

They're wonderful letters, especially given our circumstances. You'd have really appreciated them because Strider behaved himself through most of them.

[tortileghostwriter]

Oh, I'm sure they're all as marvelous as the one that I read. No need to worry, I fully intend to dutifully read them all soon.

[fine just have a kiss on the forehead then]

[thorny]

No you won't, because I'm still taking them back.

[her voice has taken on an undercurrent of dogged determination to see her task through, although she's obviously pleased with the peace offering. her expression eases up a little and she loops her arms around his neck.]

[tortileghostwriter]

We'll have to see.

[yeah good luck rose.

a beat.]

Weren't you going to deal with Strider?

[thorny]

I think I was. [her gaze strays back down the hall] He's going to be horribly disappointed at the way you messed everything up...

[tortileghostwriter]

Oh, no. How will I ever live with the judgement of Dave Strider.
