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.

I've had worse.

[Her smile might say more than anything that reaches his ears, because she doesn't know how to give August the appropriate amount of credit in anything she tells him. She has had worse, that's true, but Emma doesn't remember having better. The last time she gave a damn about a guy she was seventeen years old and thoroughly inexperienced. It's different now, in a small bed instead of a small car, with someone who came to find her rather than leaving her behind.

At least she tells herself it is.

The idea of August riding out of town has crossed her mind plenty of times. It's what makes her want to do the leaving before he has a chance to; so it can be her choice this time instead of his. Emma is keenly aware that he's a free spirit, and she's not trying to hold him down as much as she'd like to hold him close. This feels good, being with him, and while she'll argue that it's just to get away from being further scarred by Mary Margaret and David, her reasons for sticking around tonight have nothing to do with them.

She wants August. She wants him like this, and she wants him to stay. She wants him in Henry's life and in hers. But that's another thing Emma doesn't tell him, even as her eyes hold steady on him. She tucks her arm under a pillow and sighs, tired with a mind that's set on racing instead of sleeping. Every muscle in her body is exhausted, and she can all but feel the ache in her bones after that.

It pales in comparison to that flutter in her chest, the long-forgotten excitement of unwinding with someone she cares about. So she can't help it, she can't stop herself, she doesn't even try this time -]

Have you decided how long you're staying in town for?

[She may be afraid of the answer, but she has to know. If she doesn't start bracing herself now, it'll be too late.]
