From the moment you first set eyes on them, you've been drawn - but this is no meet-cute. They are completely unavailable to you: they're sworn to a duty, already spoken for (by someone powerful or evil, no doubt), precious cargo, a caged bird kept away from prying eyes, a possession of a wicked creature. Whatever the case, they are off-limits. The problem is...they are struck by you, too.
Will you fight your feelings, or will you free them so they can be with you? Either way, there's a high probability of it all going up in flames.
HOW TO PLAY
- Comment with your character, preferences, role, and any other information to make you more taggable.
- Reply to others.
- RNG if desired.
- This meme is slightly inspired by this trope, but the setting can be anywhere and the genre anything.
WHO
- Caged: You're the victim here, kept locked away.
- Taken: You're in a relationship - consensual or otherwise - so you should only have eyes for one. That's not exactly the case...
- Passerby: Here you are, minding your own business, when - who's that? Why are they there?
- Rescuer: Whether you're a knight in shining armor type or someone simply paid or commanded to do this job, you never thought you'd fall for the one you had to rescue.
- Conflict of Interest: You're a guard, but you can't very well do your duty if you want the person you're guarding let go.
- Unknowing Villain: You had no idea your allies were keeping someone and you don't agree with their methods.
- Enemies: They did wrong by you in the past; even they don't deserve this, though.
- Should Be Reviled: Your people and theirs have never gotten along. You should hate them, yet you don't. You want to save them.
- Who's the Monster?: They're being locked away because they're a monster. No one could be further from a beast in your eyes, however.
- Never Felt Before: Usually, you're stone cold, but their plight has gotten under your skin.
- In this Together: Both of you are prisoners, so you can't easily save them, can you?
- Not All Bad: They're been told that they're being protected. You want to show them the outside world isn't so bad.
- The Better Devil: To be honest, you're not much better than their captor. Still, you're something new.
HOW
- Plot and Plan: You know busting them out won't be easy, so you'll put your mind to it.
- Sneak: It's an old-fashion escape with all the subtleties and espionage to get out undetected.
- Fight Anyone: Maybe you're more brawn than brains, or maybe you're just in a tight spot.
- Bargain: Their freedom for yours. Seems like a fair trade.
- Guilt: You can't really free them, can you? This fact tears you up inside.
- Give You Hope: You might not be able to get them out of here now, but you'll keep them looking towards the future.
- Keep You Happy: You'd do anything to see them smile again.
- Be Healthy: They're being mistreated or ill-fed. You can at least try to remedy that.
- Saved Themselves: They only needed an extra push. At the end, they pulled themself out of the pit.
- Selfish: No denying it, you freed them for selfish reasons.
- Selfless: What you want doesn't matter. Their safety and peace are paramount.
- Sacrifice: If need be, you'll put your life on the line.
- Used You: They didn't really love you. But they did know you'd be useful.
- Failure: Your attempt failed and now both of you are looking death in the eyes.
- I'll Steal You: They didn't want to leave their "home." You stole them away.
- Indebted Friends: So they weren't romantically attracted to you. They, however, did platonically bond with you.
- Finally "Together": You've wanted to touch them, hold them, kiss them, and be with them in every way possible, even if it's only for a moment. The smut option.
- Happy Endings: You're both safe, far from danger, and together.

lol yeah definitely this is a "wrong" attraction 👀
It's weird how time moves both at breakneck speed and agonizingly slow when horrible things happen. For Marcus, it felt like it'd been a couple days at most. When he closed his eyes, he could picture Horatio face looking up at him as the light left his eyes.
But today marked a month and that was why he'd taken Wrench up on his offer to sit up on a rooftop and pound a few beers. It felt, more than anything, necessary.
"Man...I can't believe it's been this long. But also...not even that long, you know?"
damn marcus its been a whole month move ON
It had been a month since and things were running in silent chaos at the Hackerspace, losing Horatio meant losing a crucial part of the team but Sitara and Josh were handling it, apparently he'd left a back up designated just for Josh to crack, just in case.
He'd been worried for Marcus, checking up on him as much as possible while still trying to give him space. It was hard for Wrench to know when to stop.
But now that they were actually here-- he realized he was shit at comforting people.
Because what do you say to the guy you've been seriously crushing on for months who has just lost his boyfriend?
He tried anyway.
"Yeah," he said, patting Marcus on the shoulder and shaking him gently. "It doesn't feel like it's been long at all."
no subject
Still, looking at him now, he couldn't help feeling like he'd been a little too caught up in his own processing and in the mission--which was important--to bother hearing out how Wrench was dealing with any of his himself.
It wouldn't be the same for him. It couldn't be. But losing a friend was hard for anyone, especially the way they'd lost Horatio.
"How are you doing, man? I mean...around that. I know I been kinda in my head about it."
no subject
Wrench said earnestly, it was hard to walk into the space and seeing Horatio's chair always empty. His monitor still on, all the things he kept on his desk in the exact same order he'd let them last. No one had dared to touch anything.
"He recruited me, he was the reason I got into DedSec and he knew all about me, so like--" he sighed, beginning to feel frustrated for not knowing how to say this. "Dunno. It's going to take a while for me to--"
he groaned, frustrated, he brushed his hands through his hair and in doing so his hoodie fell backwards. "Sorry, it's kinda hard to put my thoughts into something that makes any fucking sense."
no subject
He watched Wrench try to articulate his feelings, his chest aching for him a little. It was hard to make sense of it even in his own head--of course it was hard to say out loud.
"It's cool, man, I get it." He reached over, mussing Wrench's white blonde hair affectionately. "I'm glad we got each other. He was--just...really cool, you know? But I don't think I've ever had friends like you guys. Makes me feel like...I dunno, like it'll be okay."
Even if he never really forgave himself for what happened...he'd come out alright.
no subject
The fact that he was dating the guy Wrench had the hots for was entirely different business. They were still close.
But Marcus was messing up his hair now and a pang of longing made its way up his chest, Wrench fought it, ignored it and carried on. "It's gonna be man, you know the others and I have your back and. We know you got ours-- we'll look out for each other and shit."
It wasn't like him at all to say it, but it was true. "I've never had a friend like you either man, it's weird. It's like we clicked the moment you showed up."
no subject
It was true. He'd clicked with all of DedSec, really, including Ray who was newer to link up with them but already felt like a crucial part of their team. But Wrench had been the first one he'd felt a real sense of connection with.
"I guess you must be kinda cool or something, huh?" He smiled and ribbed him with his elbow. "I mean, I think we really have Jimmy Siska to thank for reinforcing our foundations."
no subject
And he did, the hand on Marcus slid around his back and Wrench leaned in letting his head lull onto Marcus's shoulder. "You were impressed with me from the start, I could tell." and Wrench made the Vulcan sign with his hand. "I could see it in your face."
no subject
Marcus rolled his eyes affectionately. The mask definitely left an impression on him, that was for sure. Wrench's whole aesthetic left an impression, actually.
But a dude with emojis for a face whose first move upon meeting a dude was to throw up the Vulcan sign? Marcus knew what he was getting into.
"Pretty sure that face was just me recognizing my own kind," he said, throwing up his own Vulcan sign and touching their fingers together. "I don't need to mind meld to know you're a big fuckin dork."
no subject
"Fair, I guess." He didn't move his hand and smiled under the mask. He kept his head on Marcus's shoulder and sighed dramatically.
He couldn't help but to wonder how Horatio handled this side of Marcus that he seemed to only share with Wrench. He'd been weirdly proud of that, having something that they didn't. It was stupid and petty, but he totally did. Not that he thought the dude was ever jealous of them. "Just imagine how bored you'd be without me there."
That wasn't necessarily true, given what happened.
no subject
He wiggled his fingers against Wrench's for a second pulled them back, planting his hands on the ground to lean back against them. He leaned the side of his head against Wrench's.
Was it wrong to goof off on the one month anniversary of their mutual friend--someone Marcus had started getting to know intimately? He was pretty sure it wasn't possible to spend any amount of time with Wrench without goofing off at least a little.
But...nah. Horatio wouldn't have minded. Probably would have thought it was dumb if they sat around feeling sad all the time.
"Yeah. I'd be way worse off without you, man. For real."
no subject
He looked down at his now empty hand then dropped it on his knee. He was lightly buzzed and high which felt good. Marcus sounded less sad than he'd been for the past month. For once the giant cloud that had come over him since Horatio passed lessened its weight and he could breathe a little.
"Me too. Good thing I'm not going anywhere."
no subject
"Yeah, don't you dare."
no subject
Wrench felt like he was starting to lose what little self awareness he had about what he said. "Don't go anywhere." he said, feeling his voice starting to drag a little. "I need you here, alright?" he leaned heavily on Marcus now and sighed for dramatic effect.
He didn't think Marcus would leave but he was the one that always got to do the riskier part of the job.
no subject
At least, as far as any of them had control over that kinda thing. What happened to Horatio had been upsetting and eye opening in a lot of ways, but particularly in highlighting how much all of them really were putting their lives on the line doing what they did.
It brought Marcus some comfort knowing Horatio believed in their cause as much as if not more than he did. But not enough to entertain the notion of anything happening to any of the rest of them.
"We just gotta keep looking out for each other, you know? We'll be straight."
no subject
But all that Wrench thought about was how he'd wanted to kiss Marcus for a very long time and he didn't have the guts to do it then.
"You look very shiny."
His words were dragging in a way that was absolutely a tell-tale sign of how shitfaced he was.
He knew he shouldn't have smoked that much.
