Fall to your knees

wrapped around your finger
selectively sweet shipping meme

You might be the biggest curmudgeon in the known universe, just as prickly as a porcupine. Perhaps you're on the other end of the spectrum, cool like a cucumber and never letting anyone get to you. They're not worthy of your time. Still, despite what the case may be, you have one little weak spot. The person you love gets all the sweetness and kindness you have, which admittedly may not be too much, and in your rare moments together, many would be shocked at how you behave. In fact, your special person might not even know that you can be grumpy outside of your encounters!

Well, goes to show that everyone doen't know everything about you, do they?

This meme is pretty shamelessly for fluff, opening up, dokis, and also more dokis.

[ Did you say a meme for Dokis? She's the soft one who melts the grump's heart. She tries anyway. ]

[the weak spot. m/f preferred.]

The shop of EterniTea is one of the very few places Nester goes to. Shy and reclusive, he rarely makes his way to places with many people. He rather doesn't like the press and bustle of humanity and is even less fond of a lot of the technology. It's hard to stay under the radar when radar is literally being used on his loch.

But he still comes to this place every third Wednesday. He arrives, smelling just slightly of the water of his home, dressed as always in clothing that's more than a bit out of fashion. He comes because it's one of the few places that understands what he is under the guise of the human he's taken to wearing. He comes because they have some of the best tea he's ever had. And though he doesn't eat the cakes, he orders one for her. Something nice for the owner of a place that welcomes something like himself.

He's rather fond of her. She's some of the only contact he lets himself have before the reclusive beast goes back to his loch until the next time. Even if the only words he speaks is his order in that deep bassy Scottish accent.

But he's decided. Today. Today he'll not be the slightly damp shadow occupying her teashop. Today, he'll say more than "Heather tea and one of those little cakes for yourself. Today, he sits in his usual spot and quietly practices, "Heather tea, those little cakes, and how are you today, lass?"

[Honestly either role works. Ichika can definitely the sort who can be the curmudgeon or the sweet one. If you've got an exceedingly eccentric, loud character then she's the straightman of the comedy routine. She's equally kind and helpful as well however.]
