Smitten

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.

[ He pulls Yuri close to him, hands on his waist to support him as he pulls them into a tight spin. It's just a few rotations, an experiment, and he digs his toe into the ice to stop them, arms going around Yuri's body immediately in order to support him, to keep him from falling from the sudden stop. ]

Again my lips will touch yours...

[ He tilts his head down and captures Yuri's lips once more, humming happily against them. ]

_{[Yuri's hands come up to Victor's neck, lingering there briefly then falling away as he tentatively bows backward in a pseudo-dip that he hopes won't upset the balance. It doesn't last long, and soon he's back upright with one hand resting on Viktor's neck. His face is pink, but his smile is back, soft and easy and all for Viktor.]}

You know, this would be the hardest part of skating with you.

[ He smiles against Yuri's lips, not moving back even when speaking. His voice remains low, a pleasant hum to thrum through Yuri's body, and he presses his palms flat against Yuri's back. ]

I'd just want to stop every few seconds to steal a kiss.

[ A soft breath leaves Viktor as he tilts his head so that he can rest their foreheads together, his eyes falling closed. ]

But we would paint the most beautiful pictures on the ice.

It would be worth it, right?

_{[Yuri's hands come to rest against Viktor's shoulders as they stand there on the ice, the opposite foot's toe dug into the ice to keep him from sliding.]}

You have some restraint at least. Or you probably would have tried to pick me up without asking anyway.

That's a good point!

[ Viktor beams down at Yuri, letting his thumbs absently run back and forth across his hips. It was a trust thing, wasn't it? Viktor trusted Yuri's opinion on their abilities to lift one another, and instead of ignoring it, he agreed. He had good instincts, after all, even if sometimes they got him in over his head. ]

Though... maybe that has to do with not wanting to see your face meet the ice. No more bloody noses from skating for you.

_{[He gave an awkward little chuckle at that. Yeah, he didn't need to smash his face against anything else this year. He's still just a little bit sour that Viktor's first instinct as he approached with his bleeding nose was to duck out of the way.]}

Maybe the next time I go to the gym, you could come with me.

[ Look, that suit was expensive, okay? And blood doesn't come out easily. There was no way he was risking it.

Viktor hums thoughtfully and brings a hand up, lightly running his fingers down Yuri's jaw. ]

And watch you get all intense and sweaty? Sign me up.

Don't just come to be a voyeur.

_{[His expression says it all: he's onto you, Viktor. Strength training isn't a spectator sport, where he's coming from.]}

Can't I be just a little bit?

[ Viktor is all smiles, a teasing light shining in his eyes as he gazes at Yuri. He brings his other hand up now, too, both of them on either side of Yuri's face as he simply looks, as though he was doing all that he could to memorize every bit of Yuri's face. ]

I like looking at you.

_{[He rolls his eyes, but he doesn't argue. He tips his head up with Viktor's hands on his face. His smile betrays him though; even if it is just to watch, Yuri wants him there at his side for as long as he'll have him.]}

Fine.

Don't worry, don't worry. I'll work out, too.

[ He's been getting complacent, ever since he became Yuri's coach. Sure, he still rides his bike while Yuri runs, and he still gets on the ice, but he hasn't been properly training. He should probably fix that. ]

And then you can stare at me all sweaty and intense.

We'll be sweaty and intense together and never have to actually lie down to do it.

_{[That...ok that sounds a lot worse now that he replays it in his head.]}

Wait.

[ . . .

A slow grin spreads across Viktor's face and he tilts his head forward so that he can put his lips next to Yuri's ear, his voice a sultry whisper. ]

So you want to do it against a wall? Maybe you could just bend over and grab the one around the rink for me, then...

[ You brought this on yourself, Yuri. ]

_{[He can't decide whether he hates himself or Viktor more just yet. Why had he said that? What possessed him to say that? and Viktor isn't even questioning it, he's just pushing right on ahead!]}

Not here in the middle of the rink, you're not!

[ He laughs, bright and happy, and leans forward to nuzzle his nose against Yuri's grinning all the while. ]

You're so cute when you get flustered.

[ And when he's not flustered. And when he's doing anything really. He's adorable. ]

_{[Yuri pinches his cheeks, stretching them just a little bit then patting his hands over the light red spots left in wake of that.]}

You enjoy it way too much.

Ow ow ow ow ow...

[ Viktor whines, but it's playful, and when Yuri pats his face instead he grins, nuzzling against the palm of the hand against his cheek. ]

You're right, I do.

[ Or he wouldn't do things to make it happen as often as he does. ]

_{[As Victor nuzzles into his palm, Yuri slides the other hand around the back of the man's head, drawing him down to bump his head, rubbing his nose across the other's.]}

Eventually I might get you back for it.

I can't wait to see you try!

[ And he means it so incredibly sincerely it's almost funny.

He closes his eyes and enjoys their closeness for a moment before he straightens himself up with a smile. ]

I'm hungry. Lunch?

[That's what gets him, is that he can tell that Viktor really, honestly means it.

He lingers there an inch from Viktor's face, at least until the proposition of food is made. His stomach automatically growls just a little bit, and he gives an awkward little laugh.]

Yeah, good idea.

[ He slides his hands down Yuri's arms and laces his fingers through one of Yuri's hands before turning to head toward the opening in the wall around the rink, near to where all of their things had been left. He carefully steps off of the ice and drops down onto the bench to change out of skates, reluctantly letting go of that hand. ]

What are you in the mood for?

[He thinks about that as he's removing his skates, putting his running shoes on in their place.]

What about ramen? We can see if there are any dinner specials right now at one of the stands.

That sounds great!

[ Yuri perks up and beams as he ties his own shoes on and stands up, stretching slightly. ]

Ah, I love the food in this country. Everything in Russia is so...

[ He gestures slightly and makes a face. It's not great. ]

[He can't actually remember the last time he had Russian food, but he can remember that he didn't like it much.]

Right...

[So he stands, pulling on his coat, then pausing and offering Viktor his hand.]

[ Viktor reaches out and takes it immediately, drawing it to his lips for a moment, letting them brush across his knuckles. ]

I know what I love most about Japan, though.

[ His eyes dance up from where he's bowed over slightly and he pointedly smiles. ]
