The Intimacy Meme

(Shamelessly taken from... all the rest and modified!)

Intimacy is the glue of any relationship, albeit romantic or friendship. It's getting to the root of humanity, and expanding upon ourselves and letting others in.

Rules:
1. Post with your character.
2. Go to rng and roll from 1-6.
3. Post to others.
4. Profit

Scenes:
1. First Kiss. Maybe you've been harboring feelings or maybe this is random. But it feels good to be that close to someone.

2. Love Confession. You have been head over heels for this person and now it's time to try and get close to them.

3. Secrets. You've been hiding yourself from someone and now it's time to stop. They need to know the real you.

4. First Time. First time you have sex is always nerve racking, but it's in these moments that you show how much you truly care about someone.

5. Shower. Perhaps you've been together for awhile. Maybe you've told each other everything. Maybe you're just dirty and need to get cleaned up. But letting the water flow between two people is still pretty intimate.

6. Post-Coital Bed. Do you feel talkative after sex? Want to ponder the meaning of life / if you guys are more than a one-night stand? Better to do it after the deed probably.. at least your partner will be in a good mood?

7. Road Trip. Good for that bonding experiance you never had! Bad diner food and weird landmarks you never knew you wanted to see! Will it bring you closer to your friend / lover?

8. Drunk. Are you the happy or sad kind? Clingy, or flighty? Maybe you just need a hug, to snuggle close.. to whoever's around at the time!

9. Winter. What could be a better time to curl up with a book, or exchange soft words in the glow of the fire? Hot chocolate time!

10. Free verse. Did I leave something out? Want to combine? Make up your own or pick from the others.

He was quiet for a moment before speaking again. "Are you only dating me because I look like this Arthur guy?"

"What!? No. John..." she said. "Look at me. You're nothing like him. Aside from looks. Like I said, Eames likes to push people's buttons and when he realized who you weren't, he found a big one to poke right at."

He didn't roll over. "But you said you're attracted to him."

She sighed.

"Yeah, I was," she said. "He's a good looking man. But that's all. It was never anything more."

"Okay," he mumbled, "I believe you."

"I love you," she assured him. "I only want to be with you."

He rolled over, finally, and looked at her in the dark. "I love you, too."

She pressed her hand to his cheek.

"I'm sorry," she said again.

He shook his head. "Don't apologize for him."

"I'm not," she said. "I'm apologizing for you having to be put in the position at all. To be associating with another criminal."

He shrugged.

"I want to keep you out of it," she said. "It's not who you are."

"I know, but..." He trailed off.

"What?" she asked.

"It might not but who I am, but it's part of who you are, and I'm invested in us."

"God, you need to stop being so perfect," she said with a smile in her voice as her thumb stroked his cheek. "Seriously, there's no way I deserve you."

She leaned in and pressed a kiss to his lips.

He wrapped his arms around her waist as they kissed.

"Thank you," she whispered against his lips.

"No need to thank me," he whispered back.

"Yes, there is," she said. "For being so understanding and accepting."

"It's not like I don't have any flaws, you know."

She smiled.

"I know," she said. "But you're perfect for me. I don't know how. This shouldn't really work. But I'm glad it does."

He sighed happily.

She pressed her lips to his again.

"It's still really early," she said. "We should sleep."

He nodded, his arms tightening a fraction, before he closed his eyes.
