A Meme of FIRSTS!
You're in right smack in the middle of exciting times, perhaps even the peak of your life so far, and you're not alone. For you and your companion, it's all about firsts: first crush, first love, first fight, first confession, first kiss, first time, first adventure to certain death together - you know, as you do. There is a first time for everything, after all, and they say you never forget your first.
So...first?
WHAT DO?
- It's what it says on the tin.
- Your character can be at the right place and time for all these firsts, you can age them down, they're starting late, they never had the chance, it's an AU I DON'T EVEN CARE just play.
- Set up your top comment with your preferences, limits, info, and all that.

He'll be quiet for it soon. ]
Then your verdict is that I am an excellent pillow?
[ They joked about it early on, but this time, they're less likely to grow flustered over it! Probably. There's no risk of any inconvenient interruptions, either — he's made sure to eat enough beforehand to tide him over and forestall anything like the incident with Kuro. ]
no subject
And a very obvious excuse to cuddle up but that did involve him being pillow-like perhaps?
Hana laughs brightly at that and then makes something of a show of wiggling against his chest like one would do when snuggling down into a fluffed-up pillow.]
Mmm, I think so. I'd definitely rate your snuggability high!
no subject
Very gently, his arms give Hana's slender waist a light squeeze, not quite fluffing a pillow of his own. She's soft and warm, her body a pleasant weight pressed to his. They don't even need to pretend that they're holding each other because of a horror film's terrifying content! ]
We match, in that case! You're clearly eligible to receive many snuggability points yourself. At least ninety!
[ Or even more, but he supposes they've only just begun their cuddling... ]
no subject
A whole ninety! How lucky!
[Naturally this is when the movie slides from the credits to crashing into the first scene -- two girls watching television, one telling the other about a horror story involving a creepy television channel.]
no subject
They aren't far into the movie, but already, a few of these early scenes prove disturbing enough. The video — those images and sounds... The victims.
Slowly, Alice's arms tighten around Hana just a little more. Since he can't really hide behind her, given that attempting it would be very obvious, requiring him to slide downward into an awkward position, he ends up with his chin resting against the top of Hana's head.
Inadvertent seated spooning isn't an unpleasant outcome, at least. ]
no subject
Technology really had progressed quickly!
[There are wall-mounted phones not to mention the whole idea of videotapes.]
I wonder if you would have to copy DVDs now... ah, even that seems old-fashioned though...
[This is around when she notes Alice's tightening hold and she reflexively pats his arm. He has his chin atop her head so she can't really glance up at him as much as she can ask:]
Are you alright?
no subject
[ Hana's musings, coupled with her hand patting Alice's arm, pull him back to the safety of the couch, freeing him from the grip that the film's unsettling scenes have on him. Alice blinks, sitting up to study Hana from above, not unlike waking up disoriented. A moment later, he has to laugh. ]
Your rational observations are our shield! You're right... The technology is behind the times now, isn't it? Perhaps a modern curse would spread through online videos and auto-play settings?
[ That would be a scary surprise, if one were to encounter the video in the middle of unsuspecting browsing... Even so, considering it aloud together counteracts the tense atmosphere, and Alice's embrace doesn't threaten to become a death grip on Hana. ]
no subject
[Now Hana laughs too.]
Those are already bad enough!
[She's glad though that her rational thought had somewhat comforted him. There is a small part of her that finds the tightened grip nice, though the tension just radiating off of the poor guy does a lot to contradict that.
They've made it a third of the way through and frankly Hana's far less invested in the horror on screen than the man behind her. Ah, what a thing to admit to herself! She's just as bad as people who take their dates to horror movies just to have the chance to comfort them ... ah, isn't that exactly what she's doing here?
Now that Alice is studying her from above she flicks her gaze upward, viewing him through the drape of her bangs.]
We can switch to the other movie if you like.
no subject
[ Hana's amusement does wonders to bolster Alice's heart further — there's nothing truly frightening at all, is there? Together, they can make it all the way through any movie, knowing that nothing can emerge from a TV screen to harm them! Should they surrender and switch to the next movie on the list, then? The scary content hasn't ruined the mood after all, somehow helpful instead.
It does occur to Alice that Hana is being considerate, offering him a means of escape. ]
Well, are you curious about the rest of this one? I'm not opposed to finding out how it ends — I wonder whether they'll succeed in laying the vengeful spirit to rest? Though I'm not against feeling other emotions, either...
[ Reasonably relaxed thanks to their conversation, Alice reaches out without thinking, brushing Hana's bangs out of her eyes. ]
no subject
Once her view of him clears some she's more surprised at herself for only now noting his actions. There's a pleasant warmth with the realization, a little squeeze of her heart that may make her cheeks color some but she looks thoroughly pleased with it.]
I admit, I am curious. This woman must have gone through a lot to be so angry!
[It's an odd topic to be talking so cheerfully about but Alice is terribly cute and she can't help it.]
no subject
[ And yet, even as he says this, fully intending to sit through the rest of the movie, Alice is far too preoccupied with looking exclusively at Hana. His hand lingers in place, fingertips resting lightly against the strands of hair they've smoothed to one side. He can see the color in Hana's cheeks, the encouragement in her expression, and a smile tugs the corners of his mouth upward again.
Even though they've decided to keep watching the film, he does nothing but stroke that lock of Hana's hair caught between his fingers. ]
Hana, I...
[ He ought to come clean! ]
You should know, I keep thinking about things that don't have anything to do with the movie at all...
no subject
Of course the flush in her cheeks is also thoroughly of her own doing because, well... truth for truth, yes? Alice fiddles with that lock of her hair and she admits just a hint sheepishly as she looks off to one side for a moment.]
Well... the movies are sort of an excuse.
[Ah, poor guy. Was she legitimately cheating him out of movies here?]
no subject
The moment seems perfect. ]
Well then... Perhaps we should pause it for now? If we intend to take advantage of that excuse...?
[ Once they've given in, they'll surely have an easier time focusing on watching any film they like! ]
It was a brilliant idea!
no subject
Before the poor guy even gets the very nice compliment she's even managed to find the controller and pause it just as suggested. Just boom, it's done and it's only after it's done that she seems to even note that she's done it, first by flicking her gaze to said paused screen and then back up to him.
She can't feel sheepish now. With a barely contained huff of laughter she plops the back of her head against his chest.]
It was definitely a good enough excuse. I sort of see why it's such a common one now.
[Because she did sort of end up at the goal of cuddling up to him. Maybe tropes are tropes for a reason sometimes!]
no subject
[ In a good way, nothing nefarious! Cozily watching movies together has let them commence cuddling without overthinking anything, after all, and they were able to confide in each other just as easily. From here, now that the film is paused, they won't have to worry about holding back!
It actually feels like an abrupt loss, that handful of seconds of Hana sitting up to pick up the controller, and it subsides only when she reclaims her spot nestled against Alice. Less hesitant, he curls both arms around her waist again, back to peering down at her in anticipation.
It's so quiet, with the movie's background noise silenced, and in that stillness, his heartbeat must be much too loud, thumping away near Hana's ears. Should he boldly lean in the rest of the way from this angle? ]
I suppose... the time has come to assess our pillow-like properties further...?
no subject
Hana has never been a good flirt. Deliberately trying was no good with her and the amount of practice she had had at it was laughable. Right now though his arms curled around around her it seems so natural to reach for his hands with both of her own, following the line of one of his index fingers softly as she replies.]
Mm, it couldn't hurt. How do you think we should do that?
[Her tone sounds innocent enough certainly but she's equally looking up at him with an interesting look. It's hard to pin down certainly but it's warm and like she's got at least one or two good ideas of what sort of pillow he would make.]
no subject
[ Alice nods at Hana, whose movements seem to be a step in the right direction. Now she can look up more comfortably, right? While also using his chest as a pillow! As for Alice himself, keeping his arms wrapped around Hana may be the equivalent, even if she's small and obviously not very squishy, either. ]
We appear to be in position, yes? So...
[ Alice's fingers shift against Hana's, tracing their shape in turn. He's seized by the thought of kissing them, too, one for each fingertip from thumb to pinky, which may be too much to picture when he hasn't done anything yet. As Hana's gaze rests on him, he finally lowers his head, aiming for the logical end result of giving in to temptation at last.
The angle is a little awkward, still, but Alice's mouth finds Hana's, meeting the warmth of her soft lips. ]
no subject
It's still awkward of course. She's been kissed a time or two, quick pecks more than anything and not enough to count as a lot of experience. The sensation of lips whether lightly or firmly pressed was wholly different from those quick little pecks and far more affectionate. It sparks a warmth that runs right down to her toes and whatever questioning Hana might have had over what was so good about a kiss is thoroughly answered.
What ought to go on after though is a bit of a mystery. The soft press of his lips over her own is achingly nice but there's certainly more to this. Or she feels like there is. Kisses in movies always seems so involved. So should she ... maybe embracing instinct is the best bet? Because she's got the notion that she ought to actively do something here so ...
Try not to mind the little feathery movements of her lips here, Alice. She's got the spirit but not quite the rhythm just yet.]
no subject
The slight tickling as Hana's mouth explores his isn't off-putting; he smiles and hums against her lips, charmed. Perhaps they aren't kissing like film characters might, full of pent-up passion breaking free, but it's tender and curious, and something like elation spreads through him. It invites more to follow.
Would it be easier if they were facing each other, Hana seated in his lap? For the moment, Alice continues undeterred, testing how best to keep up their back and forth of exploration without disturbing Hana's current position. Tilting his head to adjust his own a little more, he lets his lips part for Hana's. ]
no subject
Her fingers curl against his shirt thoughtlessly as his lips part over hers and she in turn parts her own. It kick starts her heart into a quick beat but in spite of it she feels surprisingly at ease now.]
no subject
A vaguely disappointed sigh escapes from him. It registers a second later, forcing him to draw back, eyes wide, to explain himself before it gives Hana the wrong impression. He'd very much like more of this, but for that, he needs to address the obstacle he's discovered! ]
...I, er... I can't reach properly like this, somehow...
[ His gaze flicks downward, both rueful and drawn to Hana's parted lips. ]
no subject
Then as he starts explaining himself she sort of comes back to the living world and the fluster on her face only deepens -- even her ears feel hot now! She had been so tangled up she hadn't even noticed his issue!]
Oh! Um ...
[She glances down, realizes the tangle of her fingers now and releases Alice's shirt with a sheepish little laugh before she thoughtlessly tries to smooth out whatever wrinkles she put there. Then she realizes she's just sort of petting his chest at this point and draws back from that too.
Focus! She had settled between his legs when she was leaning back against him so...]
If I turned to face you that would work better, I think?
[But if she did it like they were now she would just end up kneeling between his legs more or less and that would be awkward too. Here she is looking down at one of his thighs as she muses to herself a moment.]
Maybe I should sit in your lap? Or I could straddle you.
no subject
He resumes breathing with a sudden gasp, instinctively reaching for Hana, but he stops himself to concentrate on her suggestions. Focus! Unwittingly, his thoughts echo hers. ]
Y-Yes...!
[ But which idea should they implement? Either way, Hana would sit facing him... Alice shifts in place, freezing when it dawns on him that he's effectively been pressing himself against Hana in ways that can't be described as chaste at all, a consequence of his thighs bracketing her body to let her lean against him easily.
She'll feel absolutely everything, once she's in his lap, won't she? ]
Um, like, both are worth a try, I meeeaaaan!!
no subject
... Am I becoming a sadist?
After a moment Hana climbs off the sofa over one of Alice's legs and then turns to nudge his legs together again like she's moving furniture around to her liking.
Once she's satisfied though her hands return to rest against one of his shoulders for balance. Then just as casually as you please she swings one leg up and over both of his, reaching for his other shoulder now as she slides right on into straddling him.
Half of her assumed this wasn't much different from the way she had sat between his legs moments before. That was back to chest though and now face to face with her pelvis meeting his as she sat upright at the moment, the full weight of her resting against him and her thighs against his hips Hana came to the very quick realization that this was an awfully dangerous position to be in.
... It's an awfully nice position to be in too. Her fingers dance against his shoulders a moment as she unconsciously flexes them, enjoying this top-seated view a whole lot more than she had even began to think she would. Why from this position she could get a good feel for what really made him flush and squirm, tuck her fingers up under the hem of his shirt and just --
I'm definitely a sadist! Completely!]
no subject
That movement alone makes his breathing hitch audibly; his eyes widen once more, still gazing transfixed at Hana. His hands, having found Hana's sides at last to slot into place framing her slim waist again, almost encircling it entirely, clutch at the folds of her shirt before he manages to relax somewhat and avoid squeezing Hana herself too hard. Still, when she flexes her fingers on his shoulders, his own do the same above her hips.
It seems that Hana has found the perfect way to position herself. Face to face, with her slightly elevated in her new seat, they're afforded easy access to each other — to kissing and to thorough cuddling alike.
It's then that Alice discovers that he's forgotten to breathe a second time, chest heaving as he gulps in his next breath to compensate for the brief lack of air. He remembers Hana's fingers traveling across creases in his shirt — with her hands on his shoulders, his body anticipates more, and a shiver runs through him.
Smoothing Hana's shirt down around her sides in kind does nothing to create a diversion or disguise the telltale shape of his burgeoning arousal, undeniably hard enough to be felt from Hana's vantage point. ]
