Sweet
1. Can't deny it - you've tried to run from your feelings for so long and you can't do it anymore. It's time that you show the object of your affection exactly how you feel. Hopefully you don't lose everything in the process!
2. First time - it's your first time making love together. Is it awkward? Do you go all out or is it spur of the moment?
3. Accidental - you didn't actually mean to confess or kiss. They overheard you or it was an accidental kiss. Maybe you were just really drunk and let it slip!
4. Close as can be - you just want to make love and you've found a spot where it's just you and your partner, however you want it to be.
5. Happily ever after - somehow, you've made it work and you're both happy together, even if it meant you had to run away together.
6. Appreciation - show appreciation for your lover! With words, a look, or whatever your choice way to display affection is!
7. Cuddling - nothing wrong with a day of cuddling...
8. Vacation - you're on a vacation! Wherever you want to be. Road trip, amusement park, Grand Canyon, etc.
9. Family - you're visiting family! Maybe they find out about your relationship, maybe they already know, or however you want to play it out! Maybe you've got news you're starting a family by getting pregnant, adopting, or even getting a new pet.
10. Acceptance - someone who disapproved of your relationship before suddenly approves. How's that feel to you and your lover?
11. Surprise - you've planned a surprise! What is it?
12. Date - first date, second date, hundredth date, etc. What are you doing for it?
13. Reunited → it's been awhile since you've seen each other and nothing can ruin this moment.
14. Other - is there another scene you'd like to play out? Want to combine something? Do it here!

Angst
1. Conflict - you've just had a fight with your lover over your relationship or how you handle it. Can you find it in yourselves to forgive each other?
2. Cheated - your lover has cheated on you and you need to confront them about their reasons why and if you can work it out.
3. Found out - you've been found out by someone close to you and they're less than thrilled with your relationship.
4. Disgust - though they play along with it, they're secretly disgusted by the relationship they have with you and it finally comes out into the light.
5. Guilt - one of you is feeling guilty over your relationship, knowing it can never be truly normal or more than a secret.
6. Other - is there another scene you'd like to play out? Want to combine something? Do it here!

Comfort
1. Soothing touch - what better way to sooth your lover than to make love to them and show them that no matter what other people say, you're not going anywhere.
2. Fight for you - whoever has found out about your relationship is trying to hurt your lover and you're not going to let them.
3. Won't let you go - you need your lover to realize that you won't let them go, no matter what.
4. Back together - you broke up for a bit, but whatever it is between you two, you can't stay apart.
5. Injured - your lover was injured because of your relationship and it's time to patch them up.
6. Other - is there another scene you'd like to play out? Want to combine something? Do it here!

Twisted
1. Forced - you know your partner isn't interested in you like this, but you keep them going along with the relationship no matter what. Coercion, blackmail, whatever it takes.
2. Won't take no - their lips might say no, but you're not listening.
3. Control - you've given them some kind of potion to get your love interest to love you in return and they have to do whatever you say.
4. Recorded - you're not really interested in this forbidden love affair, but you must do it or you'll face some tough consequences.
5. Insult - you're cornered by those who disapprove of your relationship, hearing how filthy you are.
6. Other - is there another scene you'd like to play out? Want to combine something? Do it here!

Sexy
1. Rough - you want it rough and hard tonight. Bites, scratches, bruises, etc.
2. Toys - you want to try some props tonight... toys or fuzzy handcuffs.
3. Bondage - more extreme. You're tied up, used, forced to orgasm, whatever.
4. Make up - make up sex is the best sex.
5. Public - you're feeling a little wild so why not a blowjob under the tablecloth in a restaurant or sex in the car?
6. Interrupted - oh yes, oh yes, oh--who the hell is that watching us?!
7. Other - is there another scene you'd like to play out? Want to combine something? Do it here!

Ending
1. Left alone - you woke up to your lover trying to slip away in the night because of the strain of the relationship. Do you let them go or try and fight for it?
2. Torn apart - others are keeping you apart after they found out about your relationship, giving you only minimal contact. What do you do?
3. Ending fight - the argument has turned dirty and ends with one of you storming out.
4. Parting ways - both of you have decided to part ways. It's just so much easier.
5. Always love you - though you'll always love each other, maybe it's time the relationship goes back to being strictly platonic. It would be easier... or maybe that's just how one of you feels.
6. Other - is there another scene you'd like to play out? Want to combine something? Do it here!

[ Angst - RNG 5. This was a lot more difficult than I thought it would be. Being familiar with TW made it easier but talk about unconventional. Derek being so-against any sort of affection and opening up makes picking up a non-existent relationship out of nowhere quite hard. Hope this was good at least! ]

It was unexpected. More than unexpected. Anubis inexplicably had fallen ill when working and as a result, wasn’t strong enough to use magic to get himself home. It made him feel, for lack of a better comparison, quite human for the first time. Whatever he was ill with made him tired, dizzy and weak. So as a result he decided to just sleep off whatever he was sick with and chose a place to do it. The old run down burned house in the middle of the woods seemed like the perfect place to do it.

He didn’t expect a Werewolf to find him.

The loft was surprisingly more comfortable than the burned down remains of the house. The large windows that allowed not only sunlight but moonlight in was comforting, and warm. It wasn’t the most traditional place for someone to live but Werewolves weren’t known for their normality. He didn’t point that out however, since screaming you knew someone was a Werewolf wasn’t exactly polite. Anubis was to ill to pick a fight anyway.

The disease lasted longer than he thought it would. For an entire month Anubis stayed with the Werewolf, whose name he learned was Derek Hale, and for that entire month they ended up growing closer together. Anubis was a Jackal, he wasn’t unfamiliar with the idea of ‘pack’ but as a God he didn’t exactly need it. At least that was what he thought. Yet, the time that he spent with Derek, just lounging around and talking with him, he seemed to grow more accepting and perhaps even wanting the idea.

Anubis wasn’t comfortable around the living, he was terrible at social situations and preferred the company of the dead to anything else. And yet, he grew quite comfortable with Derek. Perhaps it was the fact he didn’t force conversation, they could enjoy just sitting around in the silence reading or (in Derek’s case) working out. Anubis liked to make things, and when he did that Derek just left him be doing whatever it was he wanted to. It wasn’t forced, and when Anubis started to feel better, Derek didn’t throw him out.

Logically, he knew he should leave, he was getting better and Derek would want his space back. He was a Werewolf, it wasn’t easy inviting someone into your space, but he didn’t want to. He really, really, didn’t want to leave.

And stupidly, in the middle of the night when they were in one of their moments of comfortable silence, he told Derek that he liked him and he didn’t want to leave.

That was a few months ago, making the third month of Anubis staying with Derek. Their relationship was still quite comfortable, they shared small moments together and were taking the time to get to know each other. Anubis still slept on the couch and Derek upstairs, if only because Anubis was the definition of a ‘night animal’ and stayed up hours into the morning. If Derek noticed the strange (or lack of) sleeping pattern he didn’t mention it. He still worked, he was Death he needed to, but he did it when Derek was gone.

That was perhaps one of the harder things.

Derek hadn’t told him he was a Werewolf yet and Anubis had refrained from yelling he was the God of Death and a Jackal shifter. They were large secrets and they became harder to hang onto when he could tell Derek and whatever his friends had gotten themselves tangled in complicated things. He could help, he wanted to absolutely, but he didn’t want to ruin the comfort of this. He hadn’t even met Derek’s friends, though he had met the man's weird Uncle.

What was he going to do? Would it just be easier if he left? No, he definitely didn’t think so. Besides, the fact still remained that he didn’t want to.

Anubis sighed and placed the blanket he was making down, setting it off to the side of the couch. He heard the key in the lock and looked in the direction of the Loft entrance, blinking as Derek walked in. “Ah, you’re back already. Are you hurt?”

An odd but kind young man on a quest to stop the appearance of monsters called Nemesis that fall from the sky. Due to the prejudice against those who can use magic like him, he's been raised mostly away from society but has set out on his own and can't help causing chaos and fighting for justice.

Love putting him together with more serious/darker characters, especially villainous ones he’s converted.
