Dating

[promenades]

The Dating Meme

Dating is, when you think about, really weird. It's a totally different thing for different people. Some are friends for years before they date; others start dating on the same day they met. Sometimes, there's a lot mushy stuff involved; other times, the couple acts just like friends. None of this is necessarily right or wrong.

Whatever it is, your character and the character you reply to are now dating. How? That's up to you. Whether it be awkward or not, the relationship will be uniquely theirs.

How to Play
-Comment with your character and preferences.
-Reply to others.
-Have fun.

Prompts

1. Best Friends to More: Oh, wow, you've been this person's friend forever! But then you realize you have feelings for them, and they for you. Will things change when you change your status?

2. The Sudden Decision: Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy, but here I am, date me maybe?

3. Confession: You've had feelings for this person for, like, ages, and you want to ask them to date you. Or maybe the confession just slips out...
4. Hate Date: You really don't like this person; actually, you hate them. But you don't want them to be with anyone else!
5. I Guess We're Dating: Huh. We are dating, aren't we? Everyone else knew before us...
6. Slow Decision: For the more mature and seasoned, they might fall into something sweet without needing to rush.
7. Been Burned Before: One of you has had a bad relationship, and now both of you have to bear that brunt if you want to date now.
8. Innocence: This is your first real relationship, so you have to figure it out together. That's harder than it looks.
9. Courting: You're from an old-fashioned world or are old-fashioned yourself, so it's courting, not dating. Still, maybe you can sneak away from the chaperon.
10. First Date: Your first true date. What's it like? What would happen if...I don't know...it went bad?
11. First Kiss: Of course.
12. First Time: Together or in general.
13. The Perfect Couple: The couple that never argues and is more like best friends than a couple.
14. The Not-So-Perfect Couple: Ugh, these guys always argue and seem to despise each other. Why are they even together?
15. Comfortable: You can do anything around or in front of your honey.
16. Not Cut Out for Dating: One of you is anti-social, a jerk, a stoic badass, whatever. You're not dating material...yet here you are.
17. Getting on Each Others' Nerves: Spending too much time together can get even the most patient people annoyed with the person they're dating.
18. Know What You Like: It's almost like they can read your mind, whether it be in the kitchen, at the store, or in the bedroom.
19. Trouble in Paradise: Maybe it's external factors, or perhaps internal, but whatever the case may be, things aren't looking so sunny.

20. Test the Strength: Someone else has an obvious crush on the person you're dating. What do you do?
21. Pregnancy Scare: Hey, it happens. So, how do you feel when the period turns up missing?
22. Getting Serious: Things are getting way deep with this person. They may be the one...or maybe they think they are, while you're not too sure.
23. Old Hat: This relationship is dull. Can you get back the spark?
24. End It: You don't want to date them anymore. You want to see other people.
25. Taking It to the Next Level: You don't want to date them anymore. You want to marry them.
26. FREE SPACE

15 - lmk if this works!

[ getting hit with overtime? definitely not one of gin's favorite things. but if there's anything that makes the extra hours in the office bearable, it's the fact that he gets to come home to his wonderful boyfriend who, sure, he missed the entire five hours they were apart, but like the old saying goes — absence makes the heart grow fonder! and gin is hopeful rum is looking as forward to their reunion as he is himself.

he practically floats through the door of their shared apartment, announcing happily, ]

Rum, I'm hooooome~!

[ hehe, just like an old married couple like in those third mankind stories. nevermind that it's the middle of the night, and their neighbors might protest to his loud declaration. he hurriedly shrugs his coat off, glancing around eagerly to spot where rum might be. ]

just a heads up i'm not completely caught up but i'm mostly caught up xD

[demonheart]

[ Of course Gin got overtime. Five hours. Had Rum missed Gin in those five hours? Is that enough time to have missed someone? If Gin was here, Gum would prefer that, but he doesn't mind some time apart.

He is both reading and listening to music, his earbuds in when Gin gets home. Even over his music, he can hear his boyfriend. Night or day, the only real difference is when they have to go to work, otherwise he doesn't pay much attention to the time either.

He stays put on the couch and waits for Gin to join him, because he figures that's where they'll end up anyway. ]

first date

[marmoran]

[they had a date set. they'd somehow challenged themselves into an actual date, one of those "oh yeah?!" "YEAH!!!" sort of things they always seem to have, even after their completely embarrassing and blundery love confessions.

the thing is: keith has no idea what a date entails, really. he's never been on one, and while he's been exposed to plenty of media back on earth, it's not like he trusts movies enough to get dating advice from them. all he remembers is flowers, a candlelit dinner, and a kiss at the door. none of these things even really apply to their current situation.

eventually he just gets so frustrated trying to plan he just does what he does best: act completely on impulse and intuition. lance and keith worked as a couple so far- surely there's natural chemistry there that can help them completely wing a first date, right? and they've landed on what looks to be a neutral planet, so that works out in their favor, right? surely there's things to do!

so, dressed in his usual, he goes to meet up at lance's door at the appointed time. he knocks three times, trying to think about weird alien limbs as a means to distract himself from how incredibly nervous he is.]

[competing]

[ it's fine, it's cool, this is basically what he supposedly excels at, right?

(realistically? no. the last time lance had been on a date date, he'd been fourteen and they went to the movies and parted almost immediately afterward so she could meet up with the rest of her friends for the rest of her free saturday which really meant they spoke a total of five sentences to each other so maybe it doesn't even really count, except she kissed him on the cheek after so! that was something! right??

but okay, at least comparatively, yes. at least he's got more experience than keith, because he definitely has to, of course he does!

...but what if he doesn't? what if keith's actually a total casanova and none of them ever knew? what if lance is completely in over his head and he's dealing with a total pro here?!

wait no. no way, this is keith. keith. there's no way he has more experience in dating than lance does. calm down, lancey lance. you got this.

but this also means there's more pressure on him to make sure this thing goes smoothly, hence why he's spent the last forty minutes primping to the best of his abilities. despite all his fussing, though, he's still looking relatively the same, except maybe a little more flushed than usual, and maybe his shirt is a little less wrinkled, too. classy. ]

H-eeyyy....

[ jesus take the wheel ]

Come here often?

[ yes, good, fantastic beginning. ]

[marmoran]

[god, lance looks so handsome, in the very effortless, idiotic way that is very much lance. keith lets himself just look for a moment, his heart fluttering just a bit in his chest at the other's smile.

and then he realizes what the other actually says. as always, lance ruins everything by opening his mouth and putting words together. keith is mostly just confused, though.]

Not really... this is your room. [yup, he totally doesn't get this particular pick up line. his head tilts, but he's long since given up trying to understand the way lance expresses his thoughts (somehow, though, he's been finding it kinda charming lately).]

But- I guess I'm going to have to start, right? [he scratches the back of his neck awkwardly, trying to fight down the heat in his cheeks.] Um. Coming here. You know.

[competing]

[ yeeeeah, that goes about as well as it ever could have. at least this time keith's confusion isn't quickly followed up with anger or frustration, and personally lance feels like he could definitely get used to that sheepish reaction of his... it's endearing in the same way near every other thing keith does has been becoming endearing — or have they always been, and lance is only just beginning to notice it now?

well, whatever the case may be, lance kind of just laughs it off because it's not really something they have to get into anyway. keith will definitely have more than enough time to get used to all of lance's pick up lines... rip. ]

Yeah, um. Guess so...

[ he pauses, and in the brief silence the implication kind of just hits him, because of course it would hit him first, of course it would. ]

Wait, like — like in my room?

[ whoa, when did his voice get so high and squeaky? he feels the heat rush up to his face, his ears. they can barely hold hands without imploding, but you bet your bottom dollar lance's mind goes directly there. ]

[marmoran]

[keith's mind, however, absolutely does not go there because he isn't a total pervert like lance. and also because he's just never thought about that sort of thing, always preoccupied on things like getting into the garrison and simulators and finding shiro.]

Well, yeah- unless you're not letting me in for some reason.

[he rolls his eyes fondly, his hand reaching out. he's decided that, despite wearing his usual outfit, he'd forego the gloves today. after all, he's...really been enjoying the feeling of lance's bare skin against his. even with all the fighting and piloting he does, lance's skin still manages to be so, so smooth. it's witchcraft.

keith is gonna die, he can't even look lance in the eye right now.]

You're welcome in mine.
