UTTERLY SMITTEN meme

Because sometimes, you want to play out goofy, absolutely adorable adoration no matter your character.

You don't have a crush. You're not in love. But you wish you had either of those things, because they're the lesser of all evils. Instead, you have it oh so bad. You're smitten, kitten. Why, every little thing this special person does is magic! Their looks, their personality, their smile - or lack thereof - are the most beautiful you've ever seen. And maybe they're even nice to you when you totally don't deserve it! Whether your acquaintances would describe you as "soft-hearted" or "hard-ass pain in my ass," there's hardly been one as taken as you. Just looking at them makes you weak at the knees, and you think those butterflies in your stomach may be staging a revolt.

Damn it, it's disgusting.

No matter if you're a grown-ass adult or a school kid, you'll feel...uhm, like a school kid. Of course, you probably shouldn't pull any pigtails. Instead, put those conflicting emotions to good use. Admire your object of affection from afar. Hang out with them as much as you can. Be awkward as only you can. Enjoy being in their presence or being close to them because afhhdhflfh they're so pretty and so aaaaahh you're ensnared. Be super nice to them. Dote on them because they're so darn cute. Fulfilling their every whim will get you in good!

Or be a terrible tsundere, as that's all some of you assholes know how to do. Eventually, you'll get over your denial and realize, grizzled warrior-king or megalomaniacal god or bitchy brat you are, you're feeling flushed.

HOW TO PLAY

Comment with your character, preference, and what role you'd like to play.
Cutesy, emotional, kind, or young characters might get smitten easily. But part of the fun is seeing completely stoic, inappropriate, or horrible characters get silly quickened heart beats. Of course, said stoic, inappropriate, or horrible characters getting crushed on is just as funny.
RNG for a prompt or just go nuts.

POSITION

Smitten: Be cool, be cool - oh god they're so precious you're going to vomit.
Smitten...On?: You're the one who's cast a spell, willing or unwittingly.

SITUATION

Not Together...Yet: Is senpai going to notice you?
Together: Aren't you so lucky to have such an amazing boyfriend or girlfriend or friendfriend?
Never: A forbidden love, you can never be together, GET THIS ANGST SHIT OUT OF HERE.

[prefer to be smitten-on, assumed CR is fine]

[/Will totally crush all over you, Matty]

[yes do it, Danny]

[Can be either]

Danny's never sure how to act around Matt. It's easier on the streets, when they're just Daredevil and Iron Fist and they're fighting at each other's side. It's a heady feeling, being in tandem with another person, and with the Devil it's so damn easy; like they'd been doing it their entire lives.

But Matt... Matt is like a different person in the light. He's laughter and smiles and a little sweet awkwardness that's only for show, though Danny's still charmed.

And he's never really had a crush before, having missed the better part of his gawky teenage years, so it's a new feeling that swells in his chest every-time he's around the other man. He likes it, and doesn't. But it still drives him to seek out Matt's company, which is why he shows up at his office around lunch time, wordlessly settling down into the chair across from his desk.

[Either or both of them can be smitten. Also happy to play a more modern AU.]

[Either way works!]

[any which way is fine]

Matt always considered himself a loner as far as his vigilante work is concerned. The few times he worked with Elektra aside, it's always been easier to just not have to worry about the safety of a partner. (And maybe it's also because of Elektra that he's been afraid to go down that road again.) But Iron Fist doesn't need protecting, he never gets in Matt's way and he doesn't bring some conflicting agenda to the fight. It's easy with him, almost comfortable. Almost fun, sometimes.

Danny is just as easy to be around under more normal circumstances, and Matt's always pleased to run into him. Or to have him wander into the office, as the case may be.

Since they're already familiar with one another's alter egos, there's no need to hide the speculative tilt of his head that leads to a warm smile. "You're not here for a professional consultation, I hope?"
