It's only natural to long for a perfect love story. Few things feel as fulfilling as a relationship where the other person will always listen to you, sex is always good and happiness always seems to be one word away.

But it's not so simple in your case, is it? Because no matter how nice and happy your relationship is, the truth is that nobody else wants it to continue. Either you come from rival factions or pursue a relationship that is taboo or illegal, but this little bubble of happiness you're currently sharing would infuriate anyone who might find out about it.

That's all right, though, isn't it? As long as you have each other, you can make this meeting wonderful regardless of what everyone else thinks.

Post your character and their basic information to the meme. Feel free to either set a scenario or leave your comment blank and open for one.
Your character and the commenter are now engaged in a very bad romance! This is their first meeting after a long while, so sparks are definitely going to fly.
But what about the details of their relationship? For that, you can either decide on your own or head to Random.ORG and roll for one of the following options! First, roll for the kind of relationships they have:

1. Keeping it in the Family: It's not unusual for siblings to love each other, or for parents to love their children. What's unusual is when you love each other too much, even if you have the excuse of not being related by blood.

2. Pay for Play: Your relationship wasn't built on love. It might be that one of you needed money and the other was willing to pay for a pretty face and a few wild nighs. It can be that one of you has something that allows them to blackmail the other into being their obedient toy. Whichever the case, there came a point where this relationship became too important for your lives to let go.

3. Rival factions: You might be coming from families that have been at each other's throats for generations, two rival corporations or two kingdoms at war. Or it might be the law that keeps you apart; a cop and a criminal is hardly a decent pair, after all. Whichever the case, you must be stealthy about this or the wrath of both your sides will fall upon you.

4. Balance of Power: One of you is enjoying a very different social standing from another. It might be that one of you is richer than rich and another is poorer than poor. Or it could be that one lover's standing is far above the other's, like that of a master and a servant or a soldier and a general. Of course, nobody expects this to work out. Even fewer would approve of it.

5. A Pair of Cheaters: One or both of you are stuck in another relationship, either out of convenience or because of love that cooled a long time ago. You know what you're doing is wrong and hurtful, but it's too late to stop. This relationship is the only thing that gets you off anymore.

6. Immoral and Illegal: Your relationship isn't just wrong, it might get you into serious trouble. Whether you are a teacher flirting with their student or a nun breaking her vow of celibacy to be seduced by a handsome friend, the slightest hint of being discovered will ruin your life forever. Problem is, you're far too involved to stop.

7. Toxic Relationship: One of you is clearly bad for each other. They might be a delinquent, a criminal or something else, but the number of bad habits they're bringing into your life is ridiculous. You should be stopping. Now, if only you wouldn't enjoy the chaos they're bringing into your life so much.

8. Stockholm Syndrome: It's not a relationship at all. One of you is keeping the other against their will; either as a political prisoner, a kidnapping victim waiting for a ransom or plain an unwilling toy. At some point, the relationship reached the point where the lines became blurred and you're no longer sure if you want to be rescued from this supposed hell.

Done choosing? Good. Now roll the numbers again and decide on the circumstances behind your meeting:

1. First Time for Everything: Your relationship has been going for some time, but this is the first time you decided to let it advance into the bedroom. One or both of you might be nervous, but it's fine. This step should have been made a while ago.

2. A Usual Rendezvous: The relationship is now at the point where meeting up for sex whenever you're feeling safe and bored is a common affair. The world outside might hate you for this, but it's nothing compared to the routine of your relationship.

3. Ironic Jealousy: Oh my! One of you have seen the other in the hands of another. It doesn't matter if this "another" is their rightful partner, their spouse or whatever else. You belong to each other, so there's nothing wrong in getting jealous and a little rough for it.

4. Doubts and Hesitation: No matter how good your relationship is, it's wrong and one of you has been feeling that much more deeply these days. It's time for a confrontation - either you spend one last night before breaking up or one manages to convince the other that this whole thing must continue.

5. Caught in the Act: You've been doing your best to hide, but it didn't take you far. Someone saw you and it's only a matter of time before the whole world knows about your affair. Do you separate in order to satisfy everyone else? Or do you recklessly discard your old lives for the sake of forbidden love?

6. After Separation: Due to the constant pressure on your relationship, you decided to separate and lead your own lives. For better or worse, it takes you only so far. A chance meeting sends you into each other's arms and leaves you wondering why you broke up in the first place.

7. Happily Ever After: A lot of people protested against your union, but you never let it stop you. Now you're either leading a new life away from everything that forced you away from each other, or you convinced the world that this is what's right for you. Tonight is the night of celebration and not leaving each other's arms, no matter what.

"Am I that obvious?" he asks, looking down at Isaac and trying to smile.

"I can smell it on you." He offers a small smile in return, brushing a hand over his arm. "You okay?"

Chris laughs. "I underestimate that nose of yours sometimes," he says, leaning to rest his forehead against the younger man's.

"I'm getting better at telling the difference." He presses his nose against Chris'. "What's up?"

Chris's smile turned bitter around the edges. "Saw through that one, huh?"

"Can see through the fact that you're avoiding, too." He arches a brow, giving him a pointed look.

Chris sighs and looks away from Isaac. "Allison turns eighteen tomorrow," he says. He hopes he doesn't have to spell it out further, though he suspects Isaac will make him.

"So?" It takes a second to sink in. "This is an age thing again, isn't it?" Isaac moves away so that he can straddle the older male's lap. "How many times do I need to tell you that it doesn't matter?"

"It matters to me," Chris says, raising his eyes to Isaac's. "It would matter to anyone else--including Derek, who's effectively your guardian, for one; and my daughter, who's older than you, for another."

"It shouldn't." He pushes against Chris' shoulders, holding him against the couch and effectively pinning him back. "It's not like anyone can accuse you of taking advantage of me. You wouldn't be able to." His lips brush Chris' ear. "Not physically. You'd hardly stand a chance."

Chris's hands rise and settle on Isaac's waist. As much as he hates himself for this whole relationship, this right here... it feels really good. "There are other ways to take advantage of someone," he insists.

"Like?" He smirks, licking a stripe up the side of his lover's neck. "The way I remember it, I propositioned you."

"But I kissed you." His eyes close. "I kissed you, and I shouldn't have."

"And then when you came to talk about it, I kissed you. So, really, this is all on me." He bites at his neck, soothing the skin with his tongue.

Chris lets out a low groan and clutches at Isaac's waist tightly. "So if anyone's taking advantage here..."

"It's me." He grins, moving so the he can look into Chris' eyes. "And you love it." And he leans in to kiss him

Chris doesn't even try to deny it. Later he'll remind himself that Isaac is younger than Allison, that the pack and his family would both tear them to pieces if they found out. For the moment, he takes the excuse and kisses Isaac.

He moves his hands from Chris' shoulders to push them through his hair, smirking into the kiss and pulling him closer, grinding his hips down against the older man's.

Chris keeps his hands on Isaac's hips and follows his lead in the kiss.

Pulling back, Isaac rests his forward against Chris' grinning. "Now... are you still worrying?"

Chris smiles. "Not right now, no."

"Good." He presses another kiss to Chris' lips, smirking.

Chris kisses him back. "I love you," he whispers against Isaac's lips. It's almost involuntary, the way it slips out, but he doesn't take it back.

Starting slightly, Isaac pulls back to look down at him. After a brief second, he smiles, leaning in for another kiss. "I love you too."
