L- is for the way you look at me

THE LOVE CONFESSIONS MEME

Confessions of feelings are rarely as nice and romantic as they seem in the Hollywood flicks. Sometimes, they're screamed across an empty house as someone leaves. Others, they whispered across white pillow cases as bodies lie close together in the dark. Of course, these feelings may not be returned, but it may be the only shot you have.

If you even meant to spill, anyway.

How to Play
- Comment with your character, putting your information and preferences somewhere in the comment.
- Comment to other characters. Roll the RNG to get your prompt, or pick one.
- Play out the scene and take it whatever direction you'd like.
- Be cute and fun or sad and depressing.

Prompts

1. Planned: You've been planning to tell this person how you feel, and you know exactly the way to do it.

2. Spontaneous: Uh-oh, it just slipped out! Maybe you weren't thinking, maybe it was a fight, but somehow, your secret's out.

3. Heat of the Moment: What's better than calling someone's name out in the trows of passion? Why, telling them you love them, of course!

4. The Last Time: You're coming clean with your feelings because you're dying, moving away, leaving the planet, going to war, whatever. Might as well when you'll probably never see them again.

5. Jealousy: You've seen the one you love in the arms of another, and you just have to let your feelings be known so they don't end up with the wrong person! Selfish, what's selfish?

6. Drunk: A drunk man's words are a sober man's thoughts, so maybe you should be careful what you say, or you'll be telling your best friend you have the hots for her. Awkward.

7. Lie: You don't actually have feelings for this person, but you need them to believe that you do in order to use them, get something, or perhaps to not hurt their feelings.

8. Sweet: You confess...and they feel the same, and have wanted to say it for a while. Oh, how cute! Go on and enjoy your cute little romance.

9. One-sided: One of you confessed, but it's completely unrequited. Can you still be friends, or is that too painful?

10. Forbidden: Your love for this person is totally uncool - not allowed, even. But it has to be brought to light, preferably by you.

11. Unfulfilled: While you both love each other, you decided mutually that this can't go any further.

((The only one that's a hard no is 7. Anything else we can see about working out.)

["A horrible decision, really."]

{{For someone so afraid of his nature being revealed (for very practical legal reasons and because--I think-- he is afraid of and embarrassed by simply by their existence, he sure will spill his guts for an entire page, almost unprompted, about how slavishly he is in love with a person. Down for anything but 7; even if he did lie, it would be immediately transparent.}}

[ this is stupid, stupid and unnecessary. akutagawa fought tooth and nail for this assignment as soon as he'd heard dazai would need a partner for it; naturally, however, he didn't bother looking into the job itself, not too deeply anyway. his justification was that it didn't matter either way-- akutagawa always finished his work, and dazai would never allow him to slack even a little bit. this temporary partnership between the port mafia and the armed detective agency has been working well for both parties overall.

akutagawa expected something riveting, with blood and fighting and guns blazing-- dazai's brains and akutagawa's raw power would synergize in this perfect way and dazai would see what a fool he has been these past four years. it's a solid plan, except this mission is nothing of the sort. upon finishing the debriefing documents on the plane ride to kyoto, akutagawa realizes that all the two of them will be doing is gathering intelligence and meeting with a pair of informants.

it all seemed too good to be true, now that he thinks about it.

but, kyoto isn't the worst place in the world. it's a popular tourist location (akutagawa is trying to convince himself he's not interested in seeing the museums and old architecture), japan's number one romantic getaway for honeymooners. the weather is nice and the lodge they'll be staying at has a hot spring. akutagawa just wishes this whole thing didn't seem like a convoluted vacation. getting to kill even one person would be enough for him. as far as he's concerned, they're basically being paid to do nothing.

(then again, he's not just getting paid to do nothing; he's getting paid to do nothing except be alone with dazai. that in itself lends itself to a whole other host of potential problems.)

akutagawa is already off to a great start, because sitting still on a stupid plane for so long wiped the pitiful little beanpole out, so dazai will find akutagawa in their shared hotel room, face-down on the sofa and dozing lightly. he was so confident he'd be awake before dazai arrived, the poor thing. ]
