The Not So Happily Married Meme

(or the FORCED FAMILY UNIT meme)

Let's get one thing straight. Not all marriages are happy. They don't start with love, and they don't end with it. In fact, some marriages are more arrangements that anything. Whether it be through the will of an iron-fisted totalitarian government or something as ancient as tradition, people end up stuck. And now, you're one of them. Maybe you were assigned you partner. Maybe your parents picked them out. Maybe it's something different all together. But no matter what, you're going to be with them in some shape, fashion, or form.

So, what can you do? Do you just deal with it? Try to find a way out? Or worst of all, do you blame your so-called "spouse" for all this? You'll have to do something.

HOW TO PLAY;
1. Comment with your characters, putting any preferences you have in the subject. These are your OOC preferences, however. Remember, in meme your character's preferences won't matter.

2. Reply to others! You can use the RNG to roll for the WHY (why are your characters in this mess), the WHEN (what stage are they at), and the HOW (how do they feel about their partner). Or just wing it.

3. The fun of this meme is putting together characters who would normally never be together or have no business getting married, whether it be cross-canon, enemies, or strangers. But feel free to do what you want. Unlike your characters, you're never forced.

4. This is not a smut meme, nor is it a romance meme. There is a smut option and a romance option, but neither are required. The focus here is on CR and coping with situations that might be fairly unpleasant.

5. Have fun! And by that, I mean be miserable.

WHY;
1. GOVERNMENT: You live in a world where all aspects of life are controlled by the government. This includes who you're matched up with. Take "government" to mean anything you want it to, whether that be actual government or something like gods.

2. ARRANGED: Due to your culture, status, or family, you have an arranged marriage. Your significant other was picked out long before now.

3. SOLD: One of you belongs to the other in some way. At any rate, it's not a completely consensual arrangement.

4. KEEPING UP APPEARANCES: You don't particularly care for this person, but you have to look good for some reason. They'll do for that.

5. SHOTGUN WEDDING: Because of outside circumstances (read: an unplanned child), you're stuck together.

6. CURSED/POTION: At least one of you is under the effects of a curse or potion that binds you both.

7. THE BEST I COULD GET: Either one of you or both of you are settling. This is just a marriage of convenience.

8. Wildcard/free space.

WHEN;
1. JUST MET: You've never seen this person that you're engaged, intended, or assigned to. This is your first meeting.

2. JUST MARRIED: Ceremony or knot, you've just tied it.

3. CONSUMMATE: What's a married live without consummating the union? Whether it's for some kind of ritual, a fulfillment of a contract, or the need to produce offspring to become workers, you have to come together.

4. IN THE FAMILY WAY: Congratulations! You're about to bring a child into this (potentially loveless) family. Are you proud?

5. MARRIED WITH CHILDREN: You have kids already. They might be biological, or they might be state-assigned. How's the family life going?

6. FILLING YOUR ROLE: The two of you have a job or purpose, such as starting a business.

7. TRYING TO ESCAPE: You have to get out. You can't take this life anymore.

8. THERE'S SOMEONE ELSE: Since you didn't ask for this marriage, one of you has a lover on the side. Do you tell your spouse upfront, or do they find out themselves?

9. Wildcard/free space

HOW;
1. STRANGERS: You hardly know this person. Getting to know them is important (since you're only going to be spending the rest of your lives together) , but are you willing to put forth the effort for that?

2. HATE: They've ruined your life. Maybe not directly, but they're there and that's enough.

3. LOVE: There might be a light at the end of the tunnel. Perhaps you do love each other, or you're at least learning to do so.

4. IN THIS TOGETHER: It may not be perfect, and you might not be be in love, but you're making it work for yourselves or for any children you might have. And hey, sometimes friendship like that can be a strong enough bond.

5. Wildcard/free space

I do protest, this was your idea! Partly.

[notyourgerbil]

[He grinned at her, swinging the door shut and closing the distance between them. His hands moved slowly along her arms.]

Nope, you're beautiful. But I know you're just trying to show me how much you don't wanna be here.

[His fingertips moved along her neck and over her jaw.] You should give me a chance, Sharon, for your friends.

tsk, tsk. excuses, excuses.

[throtteen]

[Her nose twitched when his hands began to move up her arms.] I'd be more than willing to tell you how much I don't want to be here.

[Her body stiffened at the mention of her friends and, yeah, also at the touch of his fingers. She had to do this.] Yet, you still think I'm here for reasons other than for them.

well this is still gonna be fuun!

[notyourgerbil]

[He noticed the way she tensed, and he didn't stop touching her. His other hand moved down to her thigh, then around behind her to her lower back, bringing her closer to him. He could barely restrain himself, all he wanted was to kiss her and tear off these clothes of hers right here, to explore her with his mouth and his fingertips. She may not yet have wanted it, but he was sure he could make her feel good.] Would rather you didn't.

[His voice dropped to a whisper as he tilted her head back gently, trying to meet her eyes, to get her to look into his face.] I'd be happy to create some new reasons for you to be here. Just try and enjoy it, I'd hate to think I was hurting you. Or that I'd have to hurt your friends. [And then he kissed her, slowly at first.]

yeah, gonna have to agree with you thar.

[throtteen]

[Her eyelids slipped closed when he tilted her head back. She refused to look at him and, she was about to say something how he was hurting her, how she hated him, and that she wished he was dead, when Steve kissed her instead. Her fingers slowly curled into tight, tight fists, willing her body not to respond.]

Wheee

[notyourgerbil]

[He pulled away, disappointed at her lack of response.

Fine.] Take off your clothes. Was gonna make this slow, and build up to that, but you're just gonna keep being difficult.

[His hand cupped her cheek.] And god... I want you.

wheee indeed.

[throtteen]

[She didn't respond; to any of that. Instead, she silently shucked off her sweater then her bra, untied her sweats and slipped out of them and her knickers. Sharon folded her arms across her nude chest, a faraway look on her face, as she silently waited for this to be over with, so she could go pop a vein in her bathtub.]

[notyourgerbil]

[He took in a sharp breath at the sight of her naked form, his gaze immediately drawn to her breasts.]

Hey, come on... don't... [He moved his hands up to gently push her arms aside. He took both her breasts in his palms, pulling at her nipples, his lips parted as he looked on her with such awe.

He had to spare one hand to undo his pants then, because they were becoming far too uncomfortable. And then he was right back to exploring her, giving her his full attention.] I just wanna make you feel good, Sharon...

[throtteen]

[Dropping her arms to her sides, she bit her bottom lip, in order to keep a soft moan from escaping her mouth. She didn't want this and she needed to prove that to him. That didn't mean her body and heart wasn't reacting to his touch. Sharon barked out a short laugh, trying to keep the breathlessness and stammering out of her voice.]

I'm sure that you can, dear.

[notyourgerbil]

I will, you'll see. [He turned and pulled her to the bed.] Lay down, would you? On your back.

[As he waited for her to, he pulled off his shirt and threw it aside.

[throtteen]

[Letting out a long sigh, Sharon situated herself in the middle of the bed, propping up against the pillows, legs closed, knees touching each other, and her hands on her stomach. She really hoped he did not take long because her heart picked up a bit of speed when she saw just how fit he was. In an attempt to calm herself down, her fingers twisted themselves in the sheets and she thought only disgusting and hateful things (i.e. old men naked, the scene after a surprise attack from HYDRA).]

[notyourgerbil]

[He watched her for a moment, then discarded his pants as well, leaving nothing but his boxers, through which the bulge of his hard cock was clearly visible. He stood there, hoping she caught at least a glimpse of what he had in store for her before he climbed onto the bed and lay down beside her.

He kissed her shoulder, and then slowly down her body and to her left breast, his tongue slowly circling her nipple before he stopped and glanced downward.] Now, I'm gonna need to get between those legs of yours. [His gaze moved up to her face, but he didn't wait for her to obey him.

He trailed his hand downward, his fingertips moving slowly over her belly button and pushing between her legs. He wanted to feel if she was wet or not, but his fingers couldn't help exploring her folds, moving downward to her opening and then back up again over her clit, It had been a while, yes, but he knew what he was doing.] How's that feel?

[throtteen]

[Her eyes glassed over, her lids drooping closed when he began to kiss her skin; she made no movement to reciprocate or repudiate his advances. She just shut down, her body going limp. What was the point? No amount of logic or reason or clever insult she threw his way got to him. So, she let her mind wander instead.

Her nipple pebbled under his stimulation and her legs eased open from his push. Sharon wasn't sure if she was wet or not -- not that she cared --, but she could feel a slight tightness in the pit of her stomach.]

Fine. [Her voice was dry and emotionless.]

[notyourgerbil]

[He pressed himself against her side, his hardness against her outer thigh, nothing between them there but one thin layer of clothing. And he would probably be discarding that last one soon, too. He pushed his free hand into her hair, his lips on her ear.]

Come on, just... let yourself enjoy it. What's the harm? You may as well get something good out of this... [His fingers continued their exploration between her legs, exactly as before, but with a renewed vigour. He wasn't going to stop until he'd made her all wet for him, or managed to coax a few moans from her lips. Preferably both.]

[throtteen]

[She shook her head, eyes shut closed. Figuring that he wasn't going to stop until she responded with something, Sharon let out a soft moan from the back of her throat. She took hold of his cock, deft fingers stroking him from the base all the way to the tip.]

/finally get to use this Aww yeah

[notyourgerbil]

[Oh... He hadn't expected that. He didn't try to speak, his head against her shoulder as he moaned at her touch; she was so good at that.

He shifted, moving his hand from her hair down to push his boxers away and give her better access.

Meanwhile, his other hand didn't stop moving trying to please her. A lone finger pressed against her opening, then slowly moved inside. It took effort, too, to keep some focus on her when her hand was on his cock like it was. He didn't know if she was doing it because she wanted this now, or if she was just trying to get it over with. And he couldn't bring himself to care.]

/high-five!

[throtteen]

[She sucked some air through her teeth at the uncomfortable dryness of his fingers against her clit. She held him a little firmer and moved her hand with a bit more speed.]

[notyourgerbil]

[Her quickened movements only make him moan louder as he thrusts into her grasp, his cock throbbing against her fingers.

The hand against her pussy stills, as he's so caught up in what she's doing to him, before he pulls his finger from her and tries to focus on playing with her clit. Surely if he does it enough, he'll make her wet, won't he?

But it's not his usual effort, it's hard for it to be when she's making him feel so good and distracting him. All he wants right now is more.]

[throtteen]

[His attempts at trying to make her wet only annoyed her, so she stopped her movements and, in one fluid motion, grabbed his shoulders and switched their positions. Now she was on top and he was on the bottom; she really just wanted to get this over with. Cocking a brow, she loosened her hair from its elastic band.]

Condom? [Even though every female SHIELD agent was implanted with a birth control device, Sharon wasn't exactly sure how effective it was against Steve's super sailors. The last thing she needed was to get pregnant.]

[notyourgerbil]

[He brought his hands up to her hips, sucking in two ragged breaths as he tried to push aside how much he wanted her hands on his cock again. Or her mouth. Now there was a pleasant thought.

He liked her being on top, though. Too bad she only wanted to hurry this along.

He frowns.] Sharon, you're not-- I.. I want it to be good for you, too. I don't wanna hurt you. [He brought a hand up to her face. There was one reason he wanted her to be wet...]

[throtteen]

[Sharon scanned the room with her eyes.]

So... is there one in the drawer or do I have to find one?

[notyourgerbil]

[And annoyed sigh. This really wasn't working out like he wanted it to. And he would've stopped her if he didn't need this.] The drawer, yeah.

[His head fell back into the pillow and he shook his head.] Why don't you just use your hands, like before? Or maybe your mouth? [Yeah, he didn't want her like this. But he knew how he was going to get what he wanted.]

[throtteen]

[She gave him a glib smile, reaching over to get a condom from the bedside table.]

Oh no, not at all. My dear husband should get what he wants. If you insist though...

[Sharon got off Steve and sat next to him, then grabbed his cock. Her thumb ghosted over the head.]

/returns to this after forever

[notyourgerbil]

You should get what you want...

[He took in a short breath at her touch, one hand wandering up her arm, his gaze moving over her form.] That's right... [He pushed some of her hair away so he could see her face, trying to focus only on how good she was about to make him feel, and ignore how obvious it wasn't that she didn't want him.]

;3;

[throtteen]

[Her eyes flickered up to his face, knowing, and kept herself from stating the very obvious fact of what she did and did not want. Instead, making him jizz engrossed her full attentions. Taking a soft grip, she began slowly, moving her hand from his tip down to the base before taking a stronger grip, moving faster.]

Re: ;3;

[notyourgerbil]

[Again he gasped, and that quickly turned to a moan. He brought up a hand, pushing some of her hair aside so he could better see her face.]

Y-you're good at that... at least... [He wanted to say more, but if she kept going like that he wasn't going to be able to say much at all. His cock throbbed in her hand, under her skilled touch; at this rate he wouldn't last.]
