Obsession

[anonconda]

Love and lust are all very well and good, but this meme is for when that white-hot desire tips into something darker, an all-consuming fire that licks at your every thought, that clenches around your every breath. It may be one-sided or it may be reciprocal, you may be the object or the subject or both simultaneously, but at least one of you is obsessed.

You can think of nothing but them. Your world, your heart, your very existence revolves around them.


Subject
1. Innocent yearning - They are unreachable, untouchable, or perhaps you're merely too shy. You're resigned to the certainty that they will never be yours, but you'd still dedicate your life to make them happy. Little gifts, remembering their birthday, you'll be their best friend, their Cyrano, you'll be their shoulder to cry on or maybe you'll only ever watch them from across the office and make sure that one of the morning donuts always makes it anonymously to their desk before they're all eaten.
2. Win their heart - You're going to marry them. Sure, they don't know it yet. Sure, they don't even know you exist. But you've got a plan, and you're going to use every resource in your power to win their heart. No matter what it takes. Their happiness is all important, and the best way to ensure that is to make sure they know how worthy they are of being loved.
3. Stalker - They belong to you. They may not know it, they may even disagree, but they are yours. It's okay. You're content--at least for now--to watch them from afar. To deliver notes and gifts--threats, if they dare to object to your ideas of romance, if they dare to date anyone else--to oversee their safety and even to mastermind minor adjustments in their life to ensure that everything goes... according to plan.

Object
1. Innocent yearning - You have a secret admirer. Little gifts, love poems and notes, and they're always perfectly sweet, perfectly timed, and they always make your day. You're half in love with them already, whoever they are, this person who cares for your happiness above all else. If only you could figure out who it might be.
2. Win their heart - Out of nowhere, one of your friends--or perhaps an acquaintance you hardly noticed before now--has begun trying to court you. It's flattering, but also very intense. They seem convinced that you'll fold to their affections sooner or later, and... maybe. Why not? It's nice to have someone who thinks you're worth the whole world.
3. Stalker - You're being followed. Maybe you know this person--an ex?--maybe you don't. They know you, though, or they think they do. Worse, they think they have some claim upon you. They dog your steps, bother your friends and romantic partners, leave you haunting and unwelcome gifts.

Requited
A. The sun in my sky - Your everyday existence may be dull and drab, but you have one glittering prize in your life. Your love, your partner, your everything. You can get through the daily grind, through the indignities of your life, because you know you're coming home to them.
B. Forbidden - You're in love and it's requited, but that doesn't make them any more accessible to you. Wealth, class, or perhaps an inconvenient marriage is keeping the two of you apart. You'll have to conduct your affair in secret, with your obsession compelling you to take greater and greater risks, until you find a way to run away together -- or until you're caught.
C. Partners in Crime - What's more romantic than a crime spree? You're partners in crime, and what a thrill that is! It certainly spices up your love life. You trust them entirely, they're the other half of you, and they're every bit as wicked as you. It feels as though you're both untouchable, and surely you are. You'll never be caught. Neither of you will ever be hurt.
D. On the Run - You're young, you're in love, and you're free, but you know it can't last. You're on the run, and your stars are crossed. Sooner or later you're going to come to a bad end, but until then you've got this hotel room, this night, this car and the open road. If anyone wants to separate you, they're going to have to catch you first.

Wildcards
Enchantment - A love spell can serve to create obsession where none existed before, and now you have a devoted slave, as long as the spell doesn't backfire.
An Unholy Bargain - You've sworn yourself to an angel, a devil, a cause, a country, a witch, a place, and they are the embodiment of that vow. You're sworn to them inescapably, and the terms of your bargain press you with the sweetest compulsion. It may not be real, but it's love, and it's undeniable.

Feel free to run with your own interpretations of the theme!

My dear fellow... I must break your heart! [This is really happening. Lockhart thinks everyone he runs into twice is stalking him because they're smitten.]

[zemnianjoy]

[ this is.. entertaining? Granted Gilderoy Lockheart is attractive but Caleb knows the type, Gilderoy knows he's attractive ]

How did you guess?

[ there is a tongue in cheek manner about Caleb, he is neither confirming or denying, but he wants to hear the circuitous thinking that led to this ]

[ obviously canon divergent or straight up AU / mishmash. open to discuss first if you want. can also wing it with most stuff. one thing: megumi is probably the object of the obsession, rather than the obsessor. i'm sure there must be exceptions but i can't think of any that would funnel him towards obsession of an individual except to protect them ;( canonmates, crosscanon, ocs, etc — all fine. ]

meguuuuu i guess this is a combo of 2 and 3? depending on who you ask lol

[ Just about everyone in the school knows this: Ryomen Sukuna shares a body with Yuji Itadori.

And now, they know this too: the 1000 year old curse has a Fushiguro complex.

It had started innocuously one day at breakfast; Itadori was shovelling rice into his mouth barely aided by chopsticks at all, when a second pair of eyes sprang open on his face, line of sight snapping to Fushiguro immediately. On the back of Yuji's hand, a fanged mouth opened out of nowhere, to loudly exclaim to the school: "Fushiguro Megumi, I see him!" Fushiguro, the attention of the entire school now on him, pocari sweat in hand, and straight off the field from morning training, flushed red and ignored the yell, while Itadori attempted to cover the mouth, which bit him and threatened to take a finger of its own.

The thing was, the exclamations started to become more specific. Fushiguro would bend over to pick something up; a dropped staff during training, Itadori's laundry, a ginko leaf— and if Yuji was in the vicinity, the mouth would spring onto the side of his face, and screech something lewd, and despite its limited faculties (literally a tongue and teeth) it managed to make things awkward with its gnashing, tongue-wagging gestures. Fushiguro would sit beside Yuji at dinner, and as soon as the boy's arm, or hand, or really any body part that was available, came within adequate distance— the cursed mouth would be there, to either bite it (playfully ok....but always leaving behind indents) or lick it (much more humiliating for everyone involved, except Sukuna, obviously, who seemed to be immune to any kind of embarrassment to the point of being completely shameless).

When this ended up actually limiting its Fushiguro exposure (Yuji started avoiding him out of embarrassment— only natural for a foolish teenager, Sukuna had grunted to himself in his domain, and decided that perhaps this method was not working out for him) the curse began the second round of attempts.

It— would attempt to talk to the boy.

During training, there would be a sudden barrage of encouragement from the back of Yuji's hand— Sukuna was clearly not above also ridiculing Megumi's competition, and in this, he got pretty creative (and inappropriate... being from the Heian era, his opinion of women tended to err on the side of politically incorrect, which he made clear whenever Maki or Nobara and Megumi would face off). Even the smallest achievement on Fushiguro's end wound up with all kinds of praise, to the point of Yuji rolling his eyes at the curse and muttering something about thirst.

Today is a national holiday, and an excuse for everyone in Tokyo and the surrounds to be in Harajuku, including Nobara, and reluctantly including Itadori and Fushiguro. Pushed out of Takeshita street due to the overwhelming crowds, and unwilling to wait 2 hours to get into the cat cafe that overlooks the Meiji shrine grounds, Nobara has the three of them sitting out, curb-side, eating burger king fries and reviewing her purchases. Itadori is sitting next to Fushiguro, which means, so is Sukuna.

The mouth opens, the back of Yuji's hand springing into animation. ]

Fushiguro. Give me one of those.

( Oh, hey, it's her gimmick! She compels—or some innate reality about her compels, canon never makes it clear if she's entirely in control of this ability—others to become so obsessed with her it assures their mutual destruction.

Then, the horror actually begins. )
