A Meme of FIRSTS!

You're in right smack in the middle of exciting times, perhaps even the peak of your life so far, and you're not alone. For you and your companion, it's all about firsts: first crush, first love, first fight, first confession, first kiss, first time, first adventure to certain death together - you know, as you do. There is a first time for everything, after all, and they say you never forget your first.

So...first?

WHAT DO?

It's what it says on the tin.
Your character can be at the right place and time for all these firsts, you can age them down, they're starting late, they never had the chance, it's an AU I DON'T EVEN CARE just play.

Prompts are amalgamations of many, many different memes.

First Kiss: Is there anything sweeter?

First Date: Are you super awkward and nervous or getting on like a house on fire?

First Meeting: Dropped your groceries? Bump into them on the subway? Party? Fender bender? The options are endless!

First Anniversary: You've made it an entire year without killing one another! Time to break open the bubbly.

First Pet: Dog or cat? Fish tank? Rhinoceros?

First House: Apartment in the city, or perfect white picket fenced home! Either way, better make the best of it.

What is this...Love Thing?: I don't understand love. What is love, baby don't hurt me ---

Love at First Sight...or, at least, Interest: Hey little mama, let me holla at you.

Gradual: Your interest in this person is growing after getting to know them.

Excitement and FREAKING OUT: Oh my gosh, there's absolutely nothing you'd rather do than spend time with this person you want everything to be perfect oh gosh oh gosh.

Hormonal: Girls are so weird but they look so nice.

Sloppy Makeouts: Put on "Stairway to Heaven" and go to town.

Arguments: You jerk! Look what you've done! I never want to see you again.

School Romance: Oh, I hope senpai notices me...or the cute class president, or the head of cooking club, or -

You're Like Family to Me: The two of you have been close forever, so you've never seen each other like that...until now.

Unlucky Friend: You lost the person of your dreams to someone else, perhaps because of their allure or perhaps because you never spoke up. What can you do now?

I'll Cheer You On: Always supportive, always by your side, they're the person you can count on. Why do they care so much, though?

Slap-Slap-Kiss: I could kill you for what you just did! I could - I could KISS YOU.

Confession in the Heat of the Moment: You're about to go defeat the ultimate baddie. How about confessing your feelings to the person you love? Seems legit.

Sudden Kiss: Kiss from nowhere! There are lots of reasons for this: to stop someone from crying, to make them be quiet, or just to explain yourself when words can't.

First Time: A little awkward, a little exciting, always memorable. ( Unless you had to get drunk to get up the nerve.)

[ she should have expected something, really; she's learned by now that naruto is someone who tends to act first, think later, and thus he always expresses himself with his actions first and foremost. still, she doesn't imagine he would roll her over, of all things, but at least this time she won't be trapped beneath him, not that she minded his weight much at all, but it is quite nice not to have to worry he'll crush her. it's not as if the opposite is at all possible, as is quickly proven by how effortlessly he moves her around, how he barely even reacts to her weight pressed flush against him.

she rolls with a startled squeak, hands hastily curling around his shirt once more just to steady herself. ]

N-Naruto...! [ pls... every moment with him is an exercise in just how much excitement her fragile little heart can handle. ]

Oh, [ she says, picking her head up so she is hovering just a few inches above him. her long hair falls like a curtain around their faces, a much paler yellow that pools around naruto's vibrant blonde. ]

Are you thirsty?

[ . . . ]

[ Naruto outright chokes at that. While he might not understand what subtle romantic signals mean, he spends most of his time talking to other dirtbag kids who use all the slang and colloquialisms you'd expect them to use, so when Lilina asks him if he's thirsty, in the context of kissing, his entire body kind of jerks in surprise. It takes him a moment to realise that there's literally no way someone as easily flustered as Lilina would ask him something like that so outright, and that she must mean literally thirsty, but it's kind of too late, he's already done his dramatic reaction because he apparently just can't chill out ever.

His face as he's turned it away is kind of pressed into one of the tails shrouding them, and when he inhales it's a scent he's grown familiar with, one that somehow clings to his clothes after spending time with her at school, one that the outfit he wore to the dance had been covered in when he'd got home... It calms him, just a bit, so that when he looks at Lilina he just gives her a slightly embarrassed smile. ]

Nah, not really. Are you?

[ her doubt is evident in the crinkle of her brows, the way her lips (still slightly red from their previous kissing) purse into a faint frown. above him, she shifts, trying to get in a better position so that she might look at him better, because that was definitely not a normal reaction.

of course, doing so involve shifting a leg between his, knee digging slightly into the comforter so that she might hold herself up a little better. ]

If you aren't, then you should still drink something. [ a pointed pause. ] You just choked.

[ Her knee dipping into the comforter makes the indent one that has Naruto's hips slipping on the squishy mattress and he has to kind of quickly shimmy upwards to avoid a collision of her knee with his... ]

Lilina-- [ He says kind of breathlessly, eyes slightly wider than before from the way his heart shot into his mouth at her movements. ] Ya need to be careful, y'know.

[ It's not that he isn't interested - of course he is, he'd be an idiot not to be - it's just that feelings are weird and he doesn't want Lilina accidentally encouraging something that will frighten her off or make things between them awkward or weird or.. He just wants things to be good, and above all he wants to be honest. ]

I'm a boy. [ he says like he's revealing some secret; Sakura has always told him boys are gross, and he's seen first hand that boys can be pretty gross, so he feels like that will at least give her an idea what he means. ] I can't control some things that happen, an' you're really pretty an' I really like kissin' you, so it's extra har- [ Pause. Squint. ] Difficult.

[ the dubious does not subside, though thsre is now a stronger hint of confusion mingling behind her light eyes. fortunately (?) her confusion only seems to last to a couple of moments. some handful of seconds later, she is turning her face away with a soft click of her tongue on her teeth. ]

Is this about you being "bad" and "dangerous" again? [ why yes she is quite good at verbalizing air quotes, thank you. ]

I already told you — I trust you. I know I am safe with you, no matter what.

No, no no no, I mean.. I get called that, but.. I'm not, an' I'd never hurt you, y'know, I'm not gonna be like that with you!

[ Some small part of him takes a few moments to blossom with pride and relief at hearing again that she trusts him, knows she's safe with him. But the rest of him is suddenly pretty troubled by being reminded of what people call him, his reputation, and all his swirling feelings combined make him even more intent on getting her to understand. She's got to know, just in case... ]

You've gotta know what you're doin' to me... [ Naruto says, looking equal parts apologetic and guilty, his hands on her waist clenching just a fraction tighter, fingers pressing into the fabric of her shirt, the band of her skirt, the heat of her skin beneath them. ] I don't want anythin' to go wrong. I don't wanna do anythin' you don't want me to even if it's an accident, but like I said, you're really pretty an' you make me feel safe an' good an' when you're close to me I... like.. want..

[ He kind of shrugs his shoulders, trying to lamely gesture 'this' without using his arms because he doesn't want to let go of her. How does a kid who doesn't know the word for a feeling explain that it's what he's experiencing, after all? ]

[ she blinks once.

twice.

takes another second or two to truly think about his words, to put it into context with their position, their location..........

oh.

and just like that, her confusion flushes away with a bright red that floods her face, brows shooting straight up to her hairline. a soft squeak, that might have been an oh before her throat got hold of it and strangled it.

she straightens up then, though she doesn't stray too far. in fact, all she does is sit up, her long skirts pooling around her legs, his lap. her hands flutter up to cover her mouth as she straddles him, deathly silent before she lets out a soft whisper: ]

Naruto... Are you — [ rip boyo ] — aroused?

[ she doesn't sound disgusted... she doesn't even sound that scandalized. rather, she sounds... flattered.

intrigued. ]

[ Naruto swears he feels his soul leave his body; like this great vaccum on his chest, his entire body immediately wanting to curl inwards like a dried out leaf... but he can't because Lilina is straddling him!!!!!! and asking if he's aroused?!?!?! and all he can do is just kind of stare at her, his mouth half open, brain unable to think of a response because all it seems capable of is repeating that word over and over again in Lilina's soft little whisper; aroused, aroused, aroused-- ]

I'm- [ She doesn't look like she's about to throw him out. He'd been worried for a second there, when she'd shifted up, that she might be getting up to leave.. but she'd stayed so surely he had nothing to be afraid of. Still, he can't seem to make his mouth work even as he gives it an honest attempt, and so instead, eventually, with his ears burning so hot and red that they're practically giving off heat into the air around them... he nods. ]

[ His hands retracted from her waist when she moved, and he uses them now to cover his face instinctively -- kind of like how she does when she gets embarrassed, his brain supplies unhelpfully. It does help a little, though, enough that he manages to speak, however quiet. ]

Kinda. Your hand slipped, an' then your knee, an' now you're sittin'-- [ He makes a kind of pathetic sound, like a frustrated child or a dog waiting for its dinner, not daring to peek out from behind his hands. ] M'sorry.

[ the smaller girl swallows thickly, eyes blinking rapidly at his admission. she thinks to apologize, certainly never having meant to pain him like this, because he does seem in pain even though... technically... doesn't arousal indicate pleasure??

before she can help herself, her eyes sweep down to the fold of her skirts, where naruto's lap would be, just inches above her own...

—no no, what is she doing!? she can't look! he hasn't given her permission too!!

her own hands slide to cup her cheeks, feeling them heat up further as her breathing quickens. ]

D-Don't apologize, I...

[ it's... not as if she minds?? she. she kind of likes it. kind of wants to know more........

tentatively, she lifts herself up on her knees. it should be a reprieve, except for the fact she's now leaning over the stretch of his torso, drawing closer to his face where she carefully peels one of his hands away.

her voice grows even softer. ]

...Do you want me to get up?

[ When she pulls one of his hands away his eyes are still screwed shut beneath, but her soft words encourage him to open them, even to move the other from his face just slightly as he looks at her with a complex expression.

She's now let up on the pressure in his lap, which is both a blessing and a curse as the hot feeling pooling low in his belly is less concentrated, but now she's a slender line hovering over him, almost teasing in her closeness without really touching him. It's maddening, and Naruto has to swallow against the vibrating energy coursing through his bloodstream.

Did he want her to get up? He knows the answer, of course, but the fact that she's asking him...? She's putting the ball in his court, asking him to make a decision the outcome of which will... He doesn't know, but she's asking which means that.. perhaps she's asking because she doesn't mind? It doesn't seem like she minds, but the possibility is so mind-blowingly exciting that it's kind of knocked Naruto sideways again. ]

[ He stares for a few moments, then shakes his head. ] Not really.. [ His expression pinches just a bit, almost apologetic again, but with an extra something that seems to say is that okay? ]

[ she stares back, large eyes flickering over the press of his lips, the wrinkle in his nose. she takes a moment or two to consider his answer, not necessarily the truthness of it (because she knows he wouldn't lie to her) but rather what she should do about it.

before long, she nods, brief and curt. ]

Good. I didn't want me to either.

[ just in case he needed that confirmed. after a moment, she looks away, cheeks puffing slightly as she continues to consider things. there is a buzzing between her ears, an electricity that keeps running through her veins that has her feeling slightly dizzy, dazed, breathless. like she's just run around and around and around and the world is tilting in front of her. it's a vaguely frightening feeling... but also kind of really exciting. ]

...I think we should kiss again.

[ Her answer hits Naruto like a wave of heat, knocking the air out of him so much that while he watches her face helplessly for any sign of what they're to do next, he's not really aware of the fact that he's panting. Everything feels a little too hot, a little too much, but it's addictive to the point where Naruto is kind of becoming accustomed to this overwhelmed feeling. His hands are now free from shielding his face, so they instinctively lift up again, fingers lightly and tentatively crawling along her sides till his palms find the place they seem to fit perfectly, in the dip of her waist before her hips.

And then.. His grip tightens as his stomach gives a strange lurch and twists slightly - it's definitely not an uncomfortable feeling, but it's something he doesn't think he's ever felt before, so it encourages a kind of half gasp half groan from him, which he quickly covers up by nodding quickly and leaning upwards to press his mouth against hers like he's been underwater and she's his source of air. ]

[ her mind sort of pauses on the sudden sound he makes — something soft but deep, vibrating right into her core and pooling there in a strange, tingling heat that has her a little breathless. when he kisses her again with such force, she can do nothing but whimper softly in response, her hands once again coming to grip at his shirt for purchase. seated over him, she squirms, confused by the sudden restlessness in her body, stockinged toes and knees digging into her coverlet. her eyes have squeezed shut once more, and she can't shake off the feeling that she needs to be doing something else, that she wants something more. throwing caution to the wind, she unfurls her hands from his shirt so she can slider her hands up along his arms like she had when they danced, only now she is close enough to wind her arms around his neck, pressing her petite body even closer. ]

[ Naruto really isn't sure where they're supposed to take it from here. Kissing and making out had made sense, even getting a little turned on by said making out had made sense though his mind still feels like it's going to explode when he thinks about how matter of factly Lilina had come to terms with that particular situation.. Now, though? Now that Lilina is whimpering into his mouth, kissing him openly and unabashedly to the point that it's hard to imagine they were ever afraid to kiss one another more deeply than a peck on the lips, and wrapping her arms around him in the wake of that conversation? Naruto isn't sure what he should do with his hands, his legs, his anything.. because now that he has permission the sheer power he holds is kind of staggering, and he finds he wants a lot that he can't really name.

As it is, he settles for letting his hands drop a little, fingers skidding over the shape of her hips through her skirts to just below there, to the outer slope of her thighs. His fingers can't really sit still, though, and press and pet at the feeling of her warm skin beneath his hands as he continues to kiss her. ]

[ truthfully, lilina has just as much insight into this all as naruto does. she's sort of pushed most of her sensibility out of her mind, trying to take cue from her boyfriend's affinity towards impulses and running with emotions. she pushes forward on the pure reasoning that this all feels good, and it feels right with him, so why not? why not?

the hands on her thighs feel hot and surprising, like the rush of hot air in your face right after you open up an oven. she finds herself squirming in response, both craving more of the touch and shying away from it, mostly out of novelty. before she can have the time to make up her mind about it, though, there is a sudden, loud thump at the bottom of the stairs. like someone had just stomped loudly, or dropped something. ]

Miss Lilina? I'm making some tea for your parents when they return; would you and your guest like some?

[ lilina had already jerked back the moment she heard the thump, eyes blown wide, cheeks flushed. percy's voice is muffled, but pointedly loud enough to carry; she realizes he never makes tea for her parents, but recognizes it as the man's subtle reminder that her parents should be do home soon enough. ]

Y-Yes, Percy! Thank you!

[ she hastily sits up, reaching up to fix her hair absently. ]

My, um. My parents will be home soon, I think...

[ When Lilina pulls back it takes Naruto's senses a long time to extend to anything that isn't her, so the bang and Percy's voice registers a little late, his ears hearing what's being said without really taking it in, and only when Lilina speaks to him does he snap out of his reverie.

Oh god. Her parents. Naruto suddenly realises with a start that Lilina's parents aren't just handily absent for the evening, that he will probably end up having to meet them. Meeting parents is something he's usually quite bad at anyway, but doing so while unable to think of anything but what their daughter sounds like whimpering in pleasure? Bad bad bad bad bad. He's not even sure he can stand up straight and be a respectable young man in his current.... situation.

He makes an understandably frustrated noise at his own dumbness, though it could very easily be misconstrued as being directed at the situation. He's disappointed they were interrupted, of course, but it's nothing to belly ache about; it's not like this is the last time they'll ever see each other or anything. ]

Okay. [ He says finally, hands dropping from her thighs because she'll probably want to get up, sort out her hair, make it look like she wasn't just rolling around on a bed with her boyfriend. Even if Naruto kind of likes that tousled look on her and is sad to see it go. ] Okay, uh- do ya want me to leave, or...? I'm okay with stayin' if you want me to, but.. [ Parents are usually ridiculously perceptive, and Naruto is practically incapable of being discreet or lying. This could go badly. ]

Edited (what the fuck were those. SPEECH MARKS?? IN MY RP???) 2018-01-12 07:00 (UTC)

[ lilina's breath catches in her throat at his offer, and for a moment she looks fearful. not because of naruto himself, or even her parents, but because her own mind cannot help but think on similar lines of his &dmash; that she will, ultimately, be utterly unable to keep from her parents what she and the boyfriend she'd yet to introduce them to had been doing... had been close to doing.

realizing a moment later how this might look, she reaches suddenly for his hand, fitting her much smaller one over it. ]

Not like this, [ she whispers breathlessly. ] I want you to meet them, but. But not like this.

[ not with her face flushed, and her breathing shallow. in truth, she is blaming herself for her own foolishness. for getting so carried away she was that close to ruining it for the both of them.

a little clumsily, she begins to climb off of him, nearly missing her footing on the bed and toppling off. her hand still grips his tightly. ]

Will you have dinner with us? Soon?

[ Naruto lifts his fingers up, digits easily sliding between hers to fit like puzzle pieces, and the moment they do a grin lights up Naruto's face like a lamp being switched on in a comfortable, cosy room. Because even if he's leaving Lilina soon it's on good terms with another relationship milestone kinda-sorta surpassed, and she still wants to touch him and hold his hand and invite him to dinners in future and.. honestly he's just kind of relieved this seems to be working, that he seems to be doing something right, that he got this lucky in the first place. ]

That's okay. I wanna meet 'em too- [ Kind of. Parents are scary, okay. ] -but you're right. Right now would be kinda, uh. Y'know. [ Not a verbal tic this time, he's just too awkward to say the A word or the B word or any word referring to that, really.

He squeezes her hand when she tries to get up, keeping her steady with his hold on her till she's on solid ground and not risking hitting the floor, then he starts to sit up. ]

'Course! An' then you'll have to come have dinner with me after! [ He says without really thinking about it, getting to his feet and wandering kind of stiffly over to the window like he's trying to walk a cramp off. He not so subtly removes his jacket and ties it around his waist while he talks, as though his voice will distract from the situation he's making even more obvious. ]

Hey, now I know where you live, what room and stuff, I can climb up the drainpipe an' sneak in! [ He doesn't mean to sound creepy, it's just what he's seen boyfriends do when they've been in a girlfriends room. Admittedly, the movie he saw this happen in was an old one, but he's pretty sure it's still romantic... right? It's a good thing he's half joking, as his chuckle will betray. ] Help you study or whatever! Even though you're way smarter than me.

Edited 2018-01-12 20:59 (UTC)

[ so smooth, naruto... luckily for him, lilina is too focused on his words to notice his less-than-subtle attempt at decency. she perks up at the mention of drainpipes and sneaking in and— had they watched the same movie...

without prompting, she shuffles over to where he stands by the window, leaning forward slightly to peer through the glass. ]

That tree over there will be safer, [ she says, quite matter-of-factly, as if she's thought of this before. she hadn't, but never let it be said that lilina isn't spontaneous. her other hand curls around his sleeve, not for any other reason but to hold on. ] And we should have a code, just in case.

[ in case of what? what other kind of movies have you been watching, lilina...

she turns back to him, eyes wide and considering. ]

What's your favorite number?

[ Naruto turns to look down at her with a total look of surprise, but his smile is still lingering, making it look like the surprise was at least a pleasant one. He never expected escape or ambush tactics to come out of his polite doll of a girlfriend. It makes him wonder if perhaps there might be a more impulsive side to her he hasn't really experienced yet, and he's all the more excited to keep getting to know her better and better-- ]

Favorite... Number... [ He mutters, a squint interrupting his look of joy all of a sudden. ] I don't really have one. I hate math, y'know.

[ He shifts his weight a bit, leaning to one side apparently in thought or maybe just to get closer to her for a second or two before he decides on an answer. ]

One, probably! Or eleven, I guess. That's my birthday.

[ lilina's lips purse in thought for a moment, her expression mildly pinched. a finger comes up to tap at her chin, cheeks puffing slightly.

Eleven's a little much...

[ ah, but she makes a mental note to ask him about his birthday again later. right now, theh have a code to figure out!

—oh, she's got it! ]

I know! [ she holds her two index fingers up, right next to each other. ] Eleven! See? One plus one equals two, so when you visit, you'll knock twice and that way I'll know it's you, so I can let you in.

[ sorry, naruto... at least this math is for a good cause? ]

And if you forget, just think of it this way: one plus one equals... window!

[ she gestures to the window triumphantly. of course this would probably make more sense if she drew this out............. ]

[ Naruto is pretty certain this is what a heart attack feels like.

He'd been half joking about the window thing, sure that Lilina would have made him refrain from putting his feet all over the outside of her fancy house and running the risk of breaking it/himself.. but she seems more excited about the prospect of him visiting her by surprise, so much that now Naruto is also excited about it and may or may not be mentally pencilling in opportunities for such a thing as they speak. Watching her figure out her code, holding her fingers up, gesturing to the window - he's pretty sure it's the first time he's ever seen her be so very animated - makes his heart feel warm and even though it takes him a few moments of looking from her hands to the window to actually get the imagery, he doesn't look frustrated by the process in the slightest. She's just... so cute. It's hard to be anything but malleable around her like this.

He can't help but laugh, worming the arm she had a hold on before around her waist, and then leans down to smoosh a kiss against her cheek. ]

I get it, I'll remember, don't worry! [ He nods as though he's convincing himself rather than her. ] Two knocks. Win-dow. Knock-knock.

[ something in her chest flutters at his exuberant reaction, both pleased and touched that her roundabout reasoning is something he can follow and wants to agree to. it makes her cheeks puff out a bit again, head turning slightly away as he draws her in close, kissing her. almost as if she's embarrassed by how pleased she is about it. ]

Yes, well... it would be beneficial to be prepared.

[ ahem. anyway... while she is enjoying the attention and affection, she still wriggles out of his hold so she can walk over to the desk and retrieve a planner from one of the drawers. she flips to a calendar in the back. ]

Now, you mentioned your birthday? When is it...?

[ these are things a girlfriend should know, after all! ]

[ Naruto's hands kind of follow her as she walks away, but they stop when she retrieves a calendar, leaving him looking kind of empty and lost by the window..

He blinks. Blinks again. It takes him a moment to realise that Lilina might want to know his birthday for Relationship reasons, it takes another few moments for him to realise that she might want to know when his birthday is because she cares. It takes him another moment or two to realise hes just been standing there not saying anything. ]

October! [ He shouts kind of suddenly, then blushes as he realises that his volume might have been a little high.... ] Uhh. [ He does not have a physical calendar on him at the moment, nor has he ever had one in his life, so he racks his brain for a second, and finally pulls out his garbage cell phone. ] .. When's yours?

[ she flips over to the october month and happily writes his name down on the 11th's box. (feel free to notice the little hearts she adds around his name, she saw someone do this in a movie once, heh.) once done, she looks down at it with a slight pout on her lips. october... that's so far away from now... she had hoped she'd be able to give him a birthday present soon. ah well. ]

March 31st, [ she supplies once she's finished tucking her planner away. she comes back over to his side, blinking down at his phone. oh... perhaps she should add it to her phone as well? she'll just reach into her schoolbag for hers, the little bunny charm attached to it tinkling gently. ]
