Like waking from a deep sleep...

true love's kiss

“As she bends for a Kleenex in the dark, I am thinking of other girls: the girl I loved who fell in love with a lion—she lost her head over it—we just necked a lot; of the girl who fell in love with the tightrope, got addicted to getting high wired and nothing else was enough; all the beautiful, damaged women who have come through my life and I wonder what would have happened if I’d met them sooner, what they were like before they were so badly wounded. All this time I thought I’d been kissing, but maybe I’m always doing mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, kissing dead girls in hopes that the heart will start again. Where there’s breath, I’ve heard, there’s hope.”

– Daphne Gottlieb, Kissing Dead Girls

You bit the poisoned apple. The needle of the spinning wheel pierced your finger. The terms are complete, the cursed fulfilled. Or perhaps your downfall is more modern (technology, bio-weaponry, misuse of powers) or metaphoric. Regardless, you've slipped in a sleep as deep as death. No one or nothing can wake you.

Nothing except a kiss from your true love.

— comment with your character + prefs + desired role. are you cursed or cusebreaker?
— reply to others.
— remember, your 'true love' might not be who you expect; the conventional may not work, the outlandish the perfect fit instead.

I don’t see why you’re getting so upset. There’s hardly anything there to touch in the first place.

[ He quickly holds up his hands to block any strikes she might throw at him with a grin on his face.]

[She lets out an unintelligible sound of rage that might have included his name in it somewhere, then she stomps over to aim a kick at his lower body...!

Are you sure you’re not a masochist, Lui?]

[ It seemed like Idike brought that side out of him a little, but mostly he found it really amusing and a little cute when she got so pissed at him. He barely had enough time to roll out of the way.]

What has you so cranky, Princess~?

[ As if he didn’t know what the cause was. He sat up and held out his hands for her instead.]

[Idike almost loses her balance when she kicks at him with all her might but he manages to roll away! She whips round to face him, hands on her hips, still fuming with anger.]

You, of course! Why did you have to ruin that beautiful moment!?

[And you just had to point out the part of herself that she’s most insecure about!]

I really hate you sometimes...!

[She frowns at him when he holds his hands out, then ignores him... for a while. But then she can’t stand it anymore and rushes into his arms, for despite everything, she does really love him.]

Which means the rest of the time~?

[ He couldn't help teasing her a little, because seeing her reactions, whether they were warm and loving, or flaming and furious, they just stirred emotions inside him that no other woman has ever managed to do.

When she rushes into his arms, he pulls her into his chest and holds onto her tight. ]

... w-what about the rest the time...?

[Looks away and most definitely is not blushing a little. The blush is an illusion!

She does love being in his arms though, so she's just going to hide against him for a while. This feels very nice. She misses him so much but don't expect her to actually say it!]

How do you feel about me the rest of the time you don't hate me~?

[ It's fine, if she doesn't want to look at him. Because he's to busy nuzzling his face into her hair. Even if it is a dream, she still smells so beautiful. Just as lovely as he had remembered. ]

... I... don’t hate you the rest of the time...

[Just going to remain stubborn and not say “I love you”...

She eventually shifts her head a bit to rest it against his shoulder, her cheeks still a light pink, but still not quite looking at him.]

[ When he feels her shift a little, he moves his fingers to gently tilt her chin more toward him so he could lean in and let his lips brush against hers. ]

You get so sensitive about things like that... that you haven't even realized you're the one woman where size doesn't matter at all.

[ And then he leans in to kiss her again. ]

[Her heartbeat immediately quickens when he leans in close, and she feels her cheeks growing warmer. Then her fingers lightly grip at his shirt as she gasps softly at the feeling of his lips brushing against hers.

She blinks in surprise at what he says. Not quite believing her ears...! But then again, this isn’t the first time he’s said something that caught her completely off guard and broke down her defences in one strike.]

... Lui...

[Her eyes slip shut as she returns the kiss tenderly.]

[ He couldn't really even explain it himself. Out of all the women in the world, every one he met, or used to collect, not a single one of them ever made his heart beat quite like Idike did. Maybe love at first sight really was a real thing, because he felt like he'd never be able to forget about her.

But to say that out loud, it'd be a little embarrassing right? It was much easier to just tease her and steal warm kisses like this.

After a few moments of kissing her lovingly, he let himself fall back onto the ground while pulling her completely on top of him. ]

[She gives a little cry of surprise when she's suddenly pulled down on top of him, still slightly dazed from the kissing, before laughing softly and resting her head against his chest.

Somehow, his heart sounds like it's beating a little quicker then usual...? Either way, she finds the sound of it comforting and listens to it quietly for a moment before whispering...]

... I love you, Lui...

[But don't expect her to repeat that any time soon for this is far too embarrassing! Savour it while you can!]

[ She might notice that when she whispered those words with that beautiful voice of hers, his heart actually started beating even faster...

He holds onto her a bit closer. He mutters something in return, but it's barely above a whisper. ]

[Oh, his heartbeat is quicker now and he's holding her tighter... He likes hearing that, doesn't he~?

Idike smiles to herself, then she props herself up a bit on his chest so that she can see his face more clearly.]

Did you say something? I'm afraid I didn't catch it.

Hmmm, did I? I don't recall...

[ He turns his head away from her, letting his hair cover up his face a little. Obviously he wouldn't just spill his feelings that easily. ]

[... he is just as bad or maybe worse than her. Since she's in a good mood, she'll try to coax it out of him.

She shifts her body further up his and reaches over to brush some of the hair out of his face.]

I'm pretty sure you said something just now... right after... I said...

[She rests her head down again. This time closer to his ear and after a pause she whispers again.]

.. I love you...

[So she wasn't planning to see it again so soon but... she's never seen him acting so shy before...]

[ He hates this. He absolutely hates how much her words were affecting him right now. It was like he trade places with Wilhelm and felt these annoyingly fluttery feelings.

Gross. ]

Careful, princess or I might just pounce.

[ He says with a huff, still trying to keep her from catching his eye sight. He knew if he actually looked her in the eyes right now it'd be all over. ]

[It's... kind of fun to tease him though? No wonder he likes doing it!

Just going to nuzzle softly against his neck.]

But I want to hear it, Lui...

You want to hear what? I haven't the faintest idea...

[ Oh... but the way she was nuzzling him so affectionately was nice. He shivers and holds her a little tighter now. ]

Perhaps another kiss might jog my memory...

Lui...

[She is a bit disappointed now. She has said it... twice already and he still won't say it! So she stops nuzzling him, only to feel her cheeks heat up at his request!]

...

[A moment later, she leans down to give him a little kiss.]

[ Before their lips touch he speaks up a little louder this time. ]

you're the only one who will ever carry my twisted heart.

[ Then so he couldn't hear her teasing, he quickly leaned into her lips for a soft kiss. ]

[Her heart skips a beat at that and she’s about to say-

But is immediately cut off by the kiss! She is very touched by what he’s said though. It even stirs something inside her and that sweet kiss soon turns a little more passionate. At least, she tries to make it so, but being completely inexperienced in such matters, her attempt is rather clumsy...

Make fun of her and she will kill you, Lui!]

[ He cracks a small smile, but it's not because he wants to be rude. He finds it... cute. While shifting a little and moving a hand to work through her hair, he parts his lips and tugs her into a deeper kiss. ]

[She lets out a little gasp when he tugs her closer and shows her how its done. She’s soon moaning softly as she tries to mimic the movements of his tongue. And this feels so good that, for now, she’s forgotten to be embarrassed about the sounds she’s making...]

[ What was there to be embarrassed about? Her soft moans were really grabbing his attention. He keeps her body close to his, while letting his tongue explore her warm inviting mouth. ]
