The Intimacy Meme

(Shamelessly taken from... all the rest and modified!)

Intimacy is the glue of any relationship, albeit romantic or friendship. It's getting to the root of humanity, and expanding upon ourselves and letting others in.

Rules:
1. Post with your character.
2. Go to rng and roll from 1-6.
3. Post to others.
4. Profit

Scenes:
1. First Kiss. Maybe you've been harboring feelings or maybe this is random. But it feels good to be that close to someone.

2. Love Confession. You have been head over heels for this person and now it's time to try and get close to them.

3. Secrets. You've been hiding yourself from someone and now it's time to stop. They need to know the real you.

4. First Time. First time you have sex is always nerve racking, but it's in these moments that you show how much you truly care about someone.

5. Shower. Perhaps you've been together for awhile. Maybe you've told each other everything. Maybe you're just dirty and need to get cleaned up. But letting the water flow between two people is still pretty intimate.

6. Post-Coital Bed. Do you feel talkative after sex? Want to ponder the meaning of life / if you guys are more than a one-night stand? Better to do it after the deed probably.. at least your partner will be in a good mood?

7. Road Trip. Good for that bonding experiance you never had! Bad diner food and weird landmarks you never knew you wanted to see! Will it bring you closer to your friend / lover?

8. Drunk. Are you the happy or sad kind? Clingy, or flighty? Maybe you just need a hug, to snuggle close.. to whoever's around at the time!

9. Winter. What could be a better time to curl up with a book, or exchange soft words in the glow of the fire? Hot chocolate time!

10. Free verse. Did I leave something out? Want to combine? Make up your own or pick from the others.

[He has to close his eyes for a few moments before he speaks again.]

I should have found her sooner. I'm sorry.

[videodiary]

No. Don't be. I didn't even try to warn her about him. If you hadn't found her when you did...

[faketexts]

She will be alright, won't she?

[It's too much like it was before, the first time with Wickham and Gigi and it make his heart ache.]

[videodiary]

Physically, they keep telling us she'll be fine.

[But Lizzie is scared she won't be her Lydia anymore. Like. Terrified that Lydia might wake up different.]

[faketexts]

[His hand flutters awkwardly for a second before it settles over hers, leaning forward in his chair.]

I have faith in your younger sister's perseverance in the face of such situations.

[videodiary]

[She tenses for a moment. Startled, sure, but just so confused about everything she isn't even certain what she is doing here. There should be some kind of user manual for these moments.

She turns her hand over and laces their fingers.]

Your sister...did she?

[faketexts]

[Why is prevents ones palms from sweating when nervous not something he's ever mastered? This is why he doesn't often hold hands with beautiful women hes desperately in love with. Or, ever.]

Exceedingly so. She is as impossible to keep in line as ever before.

[videodiary]

That's really unflattering.

[Except instead of being angry, it's making her smile. What the hell?]

[faketexts]

I've never impressed that I'm an agreeable person.

[He's not sure if he's ever seen her smile, genuinely, because of him before. It's enough to give her hand a small re-assuring squeeze.]

[videodiary]

I've never hoped you were this right before. God. That's. No. Forget I just said that.

[faketexts]

It's fine, Lizzie. I understand.

[videodiary]

I'm not normally like this.

[She's hanging onto his hand like it's the only thing keeping her sitting there. And seeing how she wanted to do nothing more than sink slowly into the floor, she wasn't ruling it out as a possibility.]

[faketexts]

I believe under the circumstances you are allowed to behave a little erratically.

Is there anything you need?

[videodiary]

Tea. [Jane. Charlotte. A time machine. And instead she has Darcy. This is the sort of thing that only happens in bad romance novels and soap operas.]

[faketexts]

I've heard that it's acceptable in these sort of situations. I'm not sure if you wanted a change of scenery but we could always-

[Go grab a drink? God, it's just sounding like he's asking her on a date while her sister's in hospital. Very smooth.]

[videodiary]

[It's like she can hear his exact thoughts and that's why she squeezes his hand and stands.]

That would be perfect.

[faketexts]

[Oh shit, that worked? Wow, that was unexpected.]

Oh. Alright. There's a cafe in town I frequent on occasion.

[videodiary]

You found a cafe in the-

[such a hipster. Lizzie just stops her own line of thinking because she really needs this distraction.]

All right. Let's go.

[faketexts]

[Come on, you knew he was an insufferable hipster going into this.

His car is as annoyingly swanky and high-end as everything he owns. He'll even open the door for her.]

[videodiary]

You don't have to impress me. I already left the house with you.

[To go somewhere that's not the hospital. That's a pretty big deal.]

[faketexts]

It's simply stubborn manners training, I'm afraid. My mother was rather old-fashioned.

[videodiary]

What was she like?

[faketexts]

Rather like me, I believe. They died some years ago when I was still in school.

[videodiary]

I'm sorry. [It's a clear sore spot. She'll shut up and not press.]

[faketexts]

It's alright. It was a long time ago.

[Well that put a damper on the situation and he kicks himself for bringing it up. Bing warned him about the dead parents being a conversation killer.]
