SECRET ADMIRER meme

You're in love with them, but they don't know it and you have no real intention of changing this. Whether it's because you don't want to admit anything to yourself, can't handle rejection, don't think you're good enough, or have no real experience with this kind of thing, your lips are sealed...for now. And maybe forever, if you're contented to love them from afar.

That is, if the object of your affection doesn't figure you out first.

PROMPTS

Meeting: How do you meet? Is it love at first sight?
Falling: You learn to love them, even if you never have before.
From Afar: You're not too close to them - they may not know you at all - but you still admire them. Whether "afar" means something like a different school, a different team, or a different world or walk of life is up to you.
Notice Me: You actually do want to be noticed. Please, senpai!~
Right in Front of You: The two of you are friends or allies, yet you're hiding your emotions in plain sight.
Denial: You? Love? No! Especially not with them...no, you weren't looking at them!
Jealousy: They don't know you're attracted to them, so you shouldn't feel mad when they're getting attention from others.
Too Shy Shy: The words just won't come out. Besides, you're too flustered by their presence in general.
Don't Deserve Them: You wouldn't want to subject them to you, anyway. They're too good.
Favors: Your love may not be known; still, you can do things for them or get them gifts, and they'll wonder who's doing all this. Their happiness is all you want, not their recognition.
Bad at This: So, about all those gifts or favors? You're not the sort to know about kindness and because of this, your shows of affection tend to be you offing their rivals or giving them stolen items.
Adorkable: You're awkward but it's endearing!
Never Expect the Quiet Ones: You barely speak, much less show how you feel. How could they know what you really think?
Lash Out: It's frustrating to have a crush you can't act on, so you've decided to act out...towards the one you love, perhaps to push them away.
Admission: Finally, you've decided to admit what you've felt all along.
Outed: Someone else has told your secret.
Caught: Maybe you were caught looking at them too much, speaking about your love out loud, or leaving them a gift. No matter what, the jig is up.
Content with Secrecy: You can admire them without saying a word. You're not conflicted in the least with living this life!
Requited: No more harboring secrets, as your feelings are returned.
Unrequited: ....ouch. Just ouch.

( either role! )

[ most likely the admired. happy to play the admirer with established cr or if your muse has the crown/power she wants. c: ]

((most likely admired.))

[either.]

[ it isn't the first time albedo's asked her to drop by for a bit of an experiment; it's honestly just as predictable as venti supposedly "wandering" into angel's share for a bit of a drink. but for once, he doesn't ask her to go to his lair in dragonspine, something she finds great since she's been feeling under the weather later. instead, he's asked her to come to his office in the knights' headquarters, overlooking the courtyard where the knights are training that morning.

with paimon having gone off with amber to god-knows-where, lumine finds herself wondering quietly while half-perched on the window sill, watching kaeya and the knights on the grounds below. a part of her still recalls their conversation the other day, which had briefly landed upon albedo, and she wrinkles her nose at the recollection.

still, she keeps her voice calm and collected, as even as she can despite the undertone of a sigh. she's at the very least thankful that she's facing away from him and her expression is hidden behind the fall of her hair. ]

What do you think of Sir Kaeya? [ ... okay, that sounds quite normal in her head. sort-of. ] I don't think I've ever seen you interact with him before.

[ is there a reason for that? or perhaps she's simply not paying close enough attention. after all, the other male has expressed interest in him in a way that's different from the acting grandmaster or the other knights. or maybe–just maybe–she's acting way too unhinged and seeing something that isn't there.

yeah, that just might be it. ]
