the affectionate physical contact meme

you love spending time with your significant other. but sometimes, just "spending time" with him/her isn't enough. you need to have your hands on each other every now and then.

➝ post your character below, with your character's name and series in the subject.

➝ tag other people, using an rng with range 1-8 to roll a scenario.

➝ roll as many times as you want, play out whatever you want!

one; hugging. you just want to give your loved one a warm embrace. be it out of happiness, to comfort them while they're down, or just to give them something warm to latch onto, you just want to wrap your arms around them.

two; kissing. whether it's a peck on the cheek or a deep kiss, a kiss good-bye or a romantic kiss, you find yourself compelled to kiss the other person! be as tender or as passionate as you so choose.

three; holding hands. it's a simple gesture, really -- to reach out and take someone's hand. but that one simple gesture can convey any number of sentiments. what the sentiment is, is up to you, but you find yourself reaching out to take your significant other's hand.

four; carrying. is your loved one hurt and needs a lift? do they want a piggyback ride? or do you just want to spare them the effort of walking? whatever the reason, you're now itching to pick up your partner and carry them to their destination.

five; i love you. you've said it before or maybe you haven't but now you have to say it again or for the first time.

six; dancing. kick up the music, because it's time to dance! but no lone dancing allowed -- you need to have a partner! you can do whatever dance strikes your fancy. personally, i recommend the slow dance, but you can do whatever you want!

seven; massaging. did your significant other have a rough day? did they get hurt? or do you just feel like doing something really nice for them? whatever it is, you're giving them a nice massage now. they'll feel wonderful in no time!

eight; flirting. the easiest way to break the ice or maybe you're just an overly flirty person.

nine; cuddling. sometimes there's just no better feeling than curling up next to each other on a warm sofa. hold each other, lie next to each other, fall asleep on each other -- it's all good here.

ten; wild card! reroll, pick an option, or come up with something else!

The world didn't end. That's a plus, right? Adjusting to the world after an almost-Apocalypse has been... a lot. Klaus has been trying to stay sober as part of this new version of the world. It's been... rough, to say the least. The worst of the physical symptoms of withdrawal is over, but that doesn't really make a dent in the mental aspect of it. Or the fear that takes over in the middle of the night as he's surrounded by spirits screaming his name, reaching for him. Like tonight.

A soft whimper escapes him as he turns away and curls in on himself to try and escape. It doesn't work, of course, it never does, but it's the most innate and immediate reaction he has. But it isn't enough, and eventually he can't take it, he scrambles to his feet and makes his way down the hall to Diego's room. He doesn't bother knocking, instead he just slips into the room quietly, and carefully approaches the bed where his brother is presumably asleep.

"KLAUS!"

"Klaaaus."

"Klaus!"

"KLAUS!"

He whimpers and squeezes his eyes shut against the sight of a man with a gruesome visage for a brief moment. "Di? Are you up?" This isn't the first time this week he's sought the comfort of one of his siblings, but he won't lie and pretend like Diego isn't the one he somehow feels safest with. Ridiculous, really. Not like any of them could do anything to save him from the experience but... it is what it is, and Diego is always his first try for nights like this when he simply can't tough it out on his own.

For all that he's trying to be better, there are still so many hurdles to get over before he really gets there. And the hardest yet is conquering the terror of the ghosts that haunt him every moment that he's sober. All made so much harder, knowing how easy it would be to quiet them.
