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

[m/m, 18+]

[ how.. do you feel about crosscanon? ]

[totally cool with it! I hope you dont mind me being canon blind though]

[M/F and can dump her into most recent crime canons]

[ Flexible settingwise. ]

[he's getting really tired of doing things he doesn't want to do. where's the line? he says "hell no" and ends up like this anyway. it must be the city -- when he went through that door something changed in him.

Robin and Nero spending time together that wasn't either battling for a Grail or working together to fight a greater enemy has usually led to bickering and ended with one of them walking off. barring that one time when they were running away from the authorities.

that fell under "working together", though.

wouldn't she rather be together and alone with Hakuno? why him? just because they're contracted doesn't mean they have to spend time together. in fact, he's completely fine if they always kept a room of separation between them. yet Nero's been doing things like this every now and then. "dates" she says, but he refuses to call them that.

he's not dating the tiny emperor.

she's decided on a zoo this time and not the people one he was nearly taken to some months ago. while talking his ear off about the lions of Rome, getting distracted and bright-eyed about a colorful parrot, she drags him towards the big cat exhibit.]

You're looking forward to seeing the lions the most, right? If we go see them, then can I leave?

[ one day, she hopes, he'll say 'Hell yes' instead of 'Hell no', but at least it's an improvement over running away. or hiding in trees. or going limp and look, progress was being made! progress!

and to celebrate, Nero's dolled herself up to the nines.

which is what one did on a date, did they not? this was her first one, after all - one didn't necessarily date while ruling empires, but generally take people into their harems and arrange political marriages. so she'd done her research. selected an appropriate location and then done the countless hours of studying People magazine. so what if the six inch heels keep making her stumble, and the weather isn't entirely appropriate for a miniskirt?

the shoes were going to become daily wear. not when she can look so easily into Robin's eyes. ]

The lions are the star of the show! And you do not begin with the best act - we will work our way up to them!

[ that grip on his arm isn't getting any looser. ]

Look - that bird's nest stands up in the back! Just as your hair does!

[one didn't date when they were outcasts and lived in a forest, either, but even he can tell Nero had put a lot of effort into her appearance for this outing. more than usual. that... he has to commend her for. inwardly. even if it's also really stupid because wearing high heels when they're going to be walking around and wearing a skirt that short when it's pretty much the middle of winter is just--

it's very Nero is what it is.

he's dressed up in his own way. Duplicity puts him in more casual wear like jeans and jackets and scarves. not all green, either. he's warm, or looks it, anyway. weather doesn't really affect Servants all that much. that might be why she's dressed the way she is.

another thing he has to admit: men and women alike are staring at her because she looks so...

ugh. she looks good. no use denying it. crazy but also good and clinging to his arm. he already tried to shake her off at the beginning but the Saber is persistent as much as she is ridiculous.

when she calls his hair a bird's nest, he looks at her in irritation.]

Yeah, you think so? Funny, because you squawk just like the one that probably built that nest.

[this is a great date.]

[ Nero didn't think too much about his dating history. mostly because she didn't figure much into it and so it was completely irrelevant. but also outlaws inevitably must = whores and bar wenches, which = lots of experience, which = Nero had to step up her game to compete.

ergo, miniskirt.

which temperature-wise might be having no real effect, but she's using it as an excuse to wrap an arm around his middle and his to keep a wooly sweater and mana-fueled body heat right up against her. too, because people were staring at him, trying to wriggle away, shaking their head and wondering why the fool was getting away from a beautiful woman....

Nero doesn't understand him either. ]

No, see! It's just the same as this part!

[ and she grabs the bit of hair on the left side of his head. ]

Maybe they come from the same forest you were raised in? There's a sign there, perhaps it says -- OH! PEACOCKS!!

[ PEACOCKS PEACOCKS PEACOCKS

SO BIG! SO FANCY! FANCY EMPEROR BIRDS!!!!! ]

Do you think the zookeeper would sell us one if you asked???

[they don't have the backlog of history Robin has with this beautiful woman. who is actually more child, in his book.

when you ignore the body.

he's about had it with Nero's lack of understanding personal space. he's never been encroached on as much as when Nero is around. not since becoming her Sub. shaking her off didn't work, telling her to get the hell off him doesn't work, maybe he can just tie her hands behind her back at some point...

what he does is give her a look like "you're hitting my breaking point"

nevermind the fact that having his hair played with isn't so bad. it's just the person that's doing it, really. that breaking point gets dangerously close to being shattered when she makes his ears ring, shouting about cocks????

no. what. what did she say? his ears are bleeding, thanks.

scowling deeply, he puts a finger in his ear and makes sure his eardrum is still working.]

Hah? If I asked? I'm not asking him a damn thing. You're the one that wants them. What do you need a peacock for? I thought you're hooked on your lions.

[ he wasn't complaining about this beautiful woman or the lack or personal space when she was riding his dick. ]

Peacocks!

[ look at them!

doing. bird shit.

idk what peacocks do but they do it elegantly. ]

Are they not magnificent? It is no wonder that Juno wears a cape of their feathers! Umu - I should have one made as well! If the Queen of the Gods dresses herself in their color, then it only is fitting an emperor should do the same! - ooh! Look! That one there is defecating!

[ but Nero claps both her hands on top of Robin's as though birds shitting is the piece de resistance for the most perfect date ever. and she's beaming, smiling, utterly oblivious to the look and the scowl and the cursing. ]

Robin. I must have one.

[ other things she's oblivious to? that he's not the biggest fan of the casual use of their True Names, in public, in the loudest commanding voice she has to offer. ]

[Robin may complain about a lot but it's extremely difficult to complain about anything when you're getting your dick wet.

now?

she's like a pokémon, just saying the word "peacocks". the majestic birds are just... walking around, fanning out their feathers. boring but cool to look at. he glances sidelong at her as she goes on to her gushing, eyes bright even when she notices one is literally doing bird shit.

he snorts at her and doesn't push her hands off. she's so enthralled by the littlest things when she has enough interest.

whatever smile that was quirking his lips up drops and he tilts his head onto his opposite shoulder, a tired sigh passing his lips.]

No, you mustn't.

[he's gotten used to their True Names, thanks to Chaldea. thanks to EMIYA already taking the designation Archer and leaving him high and dry. bastard. he doesn't mind it as long as she doesn't use the full thing and become a catalyst for others asking questions about it. it's better than any other nickname that originated by other Servants, too.

he'll stick to calling her Your Majesty and little princess, however.]

Because I'm gonna end up taking care of it.
