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.

"Should we meet here or in the parking garage?" He poked his head out of the room to look at Lindsey. "And what are we doing about money? I have some cash, do you? I mean we can't use your credit cards."

[hartandsouled]

"I have... some." Not a lot though, probably not enough to last them more than a week, a month if they're really careful. "You still remember how to run your credit card scams?"

He moved to the door. "Parking garage's fine if you're alright with that."

[armed_dropout]

"I do, plus we could always just kill people and take their money," Dean shrugged and turned to go back into the bedroom. Why do it the hard way?

[hartandsouled]

Rather than think about that, Lindsey just said, "I'll see you downstairs."

He went up to his apartment and took it apart methodologically, taking cash and things that he thought would be useful on the run from Wolfram and Hart. Secret files, cash, but more importantly, his guitar and some old clothes that he would probably never be caught dead wearing in Wolfram and Hart.

Even now he only packed them into a case for fear of drawing attention to himself before he got out of the building.

About twenty minutes later, he was on the parking level waiting for Dean.

[armed_dropout]

The elevator opened and finally Dean made his way out, two bags in hand full of clothes, toiletries, and his game system....he earned that thing. Not to mention cash. "We're taking my car, yours is cute but you can live out of my car. Trust me."

He walked passed Lindsey, keys in hand to unlock the trunk and toss the bags inside, making sure his hidden compartments weren't visible.

[hartandsouled]

Lindsey placed his stuff next to Dean's, carefully putting the guitar case in last. He never even thought of taking his own car, it was the company's and he had no special attachment to it. "Wouldn't even think of it if it's still bugged with the trackers you planted."

"I'll need to get us to a payphone away from here so I can make a call. First stop, we're getting your windows necro-tempered.

[armed_dropout]

"Yeah that sounds good...so whats with the guitar?". He folded his arms across his chest, smirking slighty. "You say pack the essentials...and you bring a guitar."

[hartandsouled]

Lindsey gave Dean a 'shut up' look as he marched over to the passenger's side of the car. "I like that instrument," he muttered, leaving unsaid that this and his car, not the company given crap he drove, was the only thing from home that he cared about. He had his beauty put into storage and he had brought with him the keys. "And it is essentials, I can play for money. Now open the doors so we can leave."

[armed_dropout]

"We are not going to perform on the street like hobos or college kids. We'll hustle pool and kill people like adults.". Dean circled around to the drivers seat and got in, starting the car. "You could always play for me though."

[hartandsouled]

Lindsey gave Dean an unimpressed look although his eyes did widen slightly when Dean suggested being interested in his music. "I meant play in bars. Some places pay decently for live music in their place. That was how I earned money sometimes when I was in school."

[armed_dropout]

"Well coming from somebody who never went to college...or had a real job, I never had to play an instrument to get money. But hey whatever, if that's what you wanna do go for it.". He turned on the radio, feeling some form of relief when Black Sabbath started blaring as he pulled out of his spot and headed out of the parking garage, half expecting to get jumped or something.

[hartandsouled]

It has been a long time since Lindsey had to play for money too, but he merely answered, "You hustle pool, I can play my guitar." If he was guardedly optimistic, he could see it almost working. It wouldn't be a bad life to live on the road like that, drifters, going from town to town.

"Do you want to go back to being a hunter?"

[armed_dropout]

Dean looked at his Sire like he was insane. "I'm a vampire Linds....you can't really be a vampire and a hunter....I just wanna be free and go do whatever the hell I want for once. No obligations to my Dad, no need to save people."

[hartandsouled]

Lindsey didn't point out that Angel was one, probably for the same reason that he thought his mind was betraying him for even thinking it out. Of course, Angel had a soul, which was why Lindsey would even think of such a thing to begin with, because he had one too.

Ah hell.

"Alright, first things first, get me to a payphone. I should still be able to use my Wolfram and Hart pull to get a shaman to tamper with your windows."

[armed_dropout]

"A shaman can make my car vamp friendly? I thought we were just gonna replace my windows. But...alright, shaman it is. How far away do you want this payphone? We got time before sunrise."

[hartandsouled]

"The necro-tampered glass isn't that different from normal glass, only that it's been tempered by a shaman or necromancer," Lindsey explained as Dean drove. " I was going to take you to someone I know who has some, but getting your windows refitted might take longer than just getting these current ones enchanted."

As Dean got clean away from Wolfram and Hart's main building, Lindsey released a sigh of relief. "Take us towards Beverly Hills. I can make the call en route."

[armed_dropout]

"They're not....I mean they won't look different, right? Cause I don't want you fucking with my baby," he pet the steering wheel affectionately. "And how exactly do we know these guys won't just go and tell Wolfram and Hart where we are? If it's an enchantment can't we just do it ourselves? I have connections to hard to find ingredients."

[hartandsouled]

"Might tint it a bit," Lindsey answered honestly. The ones back in the firm were slightly tinted but he didn't know if that was an actual tint job or a result of the enchantment.

"And not all are directly connected to the main office. We merely contract some of our sorcerers, which may mean some won't know my situation with Wolfram and Hart. This will be better because I don't know the enchantment required."

[armed_dropout]

"Alright....if you say this is the thing to do...." he shrugged and sped up. "And how are we getting rid of your soul? Shouldn't that come before glass tinting?"

[hartandsouled]

To be honest, Lindsey wasn't sure he wanted to part with his soul. Without it, his relationship with Dean will change and he may possibly enjoy hurting his childe. He didn't want that.

Even if this soul might be the death of him.

"Do you mind that it's here?"

[armed_dropout]

"It makes things harder for you," he shrugged, not really sure how good it would be. "Who knows if we can get blood bags where we go, you killing would make things easier."

[hartandsouled]

"Dean," Lindsey asked with an underlying tone of amusement, "Did you think that was all I drank before you came around? I've been souled for all this time and I can assure you that I didn't drink those disgusting things more than necessary." Then again, without Wolfram and Hart, he lost his live blood bank as well.

[armed_dropout]

"So you're telling me that you're totally ok with hunting and killing people?" He frowned, watching the other vamp out of the corner of his eye. "I don't know what I like, technically soulless you is the one who turned me but you're a lot more...cooperative."

[hartandsouled]

Dean got his answer when Lindsey's eyes dropped down from the road to his hands. No, he wasn't okay with randomly massacring people by a long shot. He didn't mind hurting them, it came with the territory and he had been doing it even as a human, just killing them on a personal level wasn't something he could stomach doing with a soul.

"I can hunt fine, Dean. And souled or not, I'm still Lindsey McDonald." Maybe. "I can do everything soulless can even with a soul." Yet instead of that being a statement, it sounded like he was trying to convince Dean... or himself.

[armed_dropout]

"Ok....I....ok, I just sort of thought that that was part of the plan...right?". He kept one eye on Lindsey as he drove. "So what's with the sudden change?"
