Secret Admirer

SECRET ADMIRER meme

You're in love with them, but they don't know it and you have no real intention of changing this. Whether it's because you don't want to admit anything to yourself, can't handle rejection, don't think you're good enough, or have no real experience with this kind of thing, your lips are sealed...for now. And maybe forever, if you're contented to love them from afar.

That is, if the object of your affection doesn't figure you out first.

HOW TO PLAY

Comment with your character, preferences, and whether they'd be the admirer or the admired.

PROMPTS

Meeting: How do you meet? Is it love at first sight?
Falling: You learn to love them, even if you never have before.
From Afar: You're not too close to them - they may not know you at all - but you still admire them. Whether "afar" means something like a different school, a different team, or a different world or walk of life is up to you.
Notice Me: You actually do want to be noticed. Please, senpai!~
Right in Front of You: The two of you are friends or allies, yet you're hiding your emotions in plain sight.
Denial: You? Love? No! Especially not with them...no, you weren't looking at them!
Jealousy: They don't know you're attracted to them, so you shouldn't feel mad when they're getting attention from others.
Too Shy Shy: The words just won't come out. Besides, you're too flustered by their presence in general.
Don't Deserve Them: You wouldn't want to subject them to you, anyway. They're too good.
Favors: Your love may not be known; still, you can do things for them or get them gifts, and they'll wonder who's doing all this. Their happiness is all you want, not their recognition.
Bad at This: So, about all those gifts or favors? You're not the sort to know about kindness and because of this, your shows of affection tend to be you offing their rivals or giving them stolen items.
Adorkable: You're awkward but it's endearing!
Never Expect the Quiet Ones: You barely speak, much less show how you feel. How could they know what you really think?
Lash Out: It's frustrating to have a crush you can't act on, so you've decided to act out...towards the one you love, perhaps to push them away.
Admission: Finally, you've decided to admit what you've felt all along.
Outed: Someone else has told your secret.
Caught: Maybe you were caught looking at them too much, speaking about your love out loud, or leaving them a gift. No matter what, the jig is up.
Content with Secrecy: You can admire them without saying a word. You're not conflicted in the least with living this life!
Requited: No more harboring secrets, as your feelings are returned.
Unrequited: ....ouch. Just ouch.

[Either role works!]

[ He had competed against Makoto in the relays before. He'd noticed the smiles, the laughter, the fun he had in winning. He had wanted that so much, which was why he even joined Rin. He wanted to race with him, give him the chance. It gradually became something a bit more than wanting to simply compete with Rin, and the want to compete against Makoto. Or watch him. Sousuke caught himself staring at times, when the two teams practiced against each other at Iwatobi Swim Club. He'd stretch himself out, paying careful attention to his shoulder, as he watched Makoto.

His eyes would linger a little too long from time to time. If Rin noticed the behavior (without, necessarily, knowing exactly what was going on), he'd nudge Sousuke with an elbow.

Practice relays came to an end that day, and Sousuke had to sit this one out. Another member of the Samezuka team had to participate for him. He made the excuse that he hadn't been feeling well, but his hand moved to his shoulder subconsciously. He was in pain today.

Everyone made their way to the locker rooms, and he changed out of his swimsuit and put on jeans, a tee, and his Samezuka jacket. He intensely watched, waited a little bit behind. It's not like they were strangers, after all.

The two teams had become quite friendly with each other.

At the very least, he could attempt friendly conversation instead of just...watching him. ]

[ It wasn't as if Makoto hadn't realized he was being watched, he simply hadn't realized by who. It seemed to always be there when they were practicing with Samezuka but as soon as he would get curious enough to look around....no one would be looking at him. The feeling would linger but then he would become focused on swimming and nothing else mattered once he was in the water.

Today was no different...only it was. It was one of the first times he felt different about the relay. Usually it was always exciting to face the others, but today just didn't feel the same. Sure the replacement was good but he wasn't on the same level as Sousuke. Not that he had faced Sousuke one on one before, they rarely if ever swam the same style.

After changing into his regular clothes, a pair of jeans and a long sleeve green shirt, Makoto made his way out with the rest of his team. They were talking and carrying on as usual, always a lively group just laughing and talking. While he had felt that feeling again of being watched, it was unlikely that Makoto would have stopped...if not for how Haru had stopped, staring off at someone or something not in the group. Seeing the change in his friend, Makoto stopped. ]

Haru, is something wrong?

...

Oh! Yamazaki! Hi-wait Haru where are you going?

[ Frowning Makoto watched the other continue walking. He was waved off by the others, after Nagisa had given him a discreet push towards Sousuke. It was sort of obvious that the taller athlete was wanting to talk, even if Makoto wasn't exactly used to it. He was always up for making new friends and honestly he had always thought Sousuke was a pretty nice guy...for all that he and Haru hadn't always seen eye to eye.

Rolling his eyes at his team with a fond smile, Makoto looked back at Sousuke, giving him the same warm smile. ]
