A confession! We all love a confession! Grab the popcorn!

HOW WOULD THEY CONFESS?

Because you headcanon about this. Don't lie. I can tell.

Your character's finally confessing how they feel to somebody! Oh God, it's happening! But what words are they saying? How are they saying them? Or, actually, what're they NOT SAYING? WHAT ARE THEY DOING?

(You know some characters would do the absolute most vs. others hardly breaking a sweat.)

This is not a drill. It's a confession they're afraid they might not get to make another time, cried out in the heat of battle. No, wait, it's a preplanned affair complete with a giant "I LOVE YOU SIGN" as they nosedive into shark-infested waters...that are on fire??? Possibly, if we're wrong about that, it's a casual admission over coffee, sandwiched between compliments about haircuts. Whatever the case, the flavor fits your guy, gal, or nonbinary pal to a T. Their big show of romance...starts now.

How to Play
❤ Info. Prefs. Quick, get it done.
NO BLANK TOP LEVELS. This is in media res, no time to waste, your character is confessing literally at this very second and you gotta give us a rundown of what's happening. That can be a line of dialogue. Or action. Whatever. You gotta.
❤ The person who replies to you is the one getting confessed to? Most likely? But they also might be a supportive friend testdriving your character's method or some rando who got in the wrong place at the right time.

"I have never been very good at these sorts of things, emotions are not my strong suit so you must forgive me if I make a muddle of this. In fact it's unclear to me what I should do next regarding these feelings I've found myself encountering..."

[ perfectly calm and composed, the only thing that betrays that placidly smooth voice is the fact that within his clasped hands, he seems to be to fidgeting his thumb against his other thumb ever so slightly ]

How could you even think that? [ Said with a rising, uncharacteristic fury. ] Out of all the people that have rattled through that lab door — torn to shreds, remember, before you start that I don't know the risks — you're the one who's changed my life in the most...incalculable of ways.

Oh! There it goes again! [ Before they can pull their arm away, Mantis confiscates it. Hippity, hoppity, her property. ] It's always like wings flapping right under the skin. That's why it's one of my favorite emotions to experience through someone.

[ Broke: confessing your feelings for someone. ]

You feel love, romantic love, for...

[ Woke: that someone confessing your feelings for you. ]

For me?

Oh, I love you.

[Akechi would usually take this with his usual aplomb and an indulgent little hint of a smile, for this person is as much a master in the art of tolerating things as he is—especially tolerating Akechi’s more irritable moods. It would take words far too cruel for the situation to make Akechi go away, and even cruelty is not enough to guarantee that the stubborn detective will leave. So they’re likely stuck with Akechi.

Some part of him, the part of his mind that's curled up in a weak and tragic little ball of misery, is grateful for their presence, pleading and hoping for them to accept the proffered comfort of his companionship. This person is, after all, someone he …adores, who seems to care a great deal for him. Why else would someone who has been injured and battered in countless horrific ways be so tolerant of an arrogant villain like him?

Would there truly be any harm in letting them see his true self? In letting his mental guard down? What would be the harm?

Ah, the road to many a personal hell has been paved with that question… He'll probably curse himself over it when he's alone, but right now he can't find the strength. Thinking makes him tired, believe it or not. Existence is exhausting.

Such a simple touch, and yet it offers a surprising amount of comfort. Just a steady hand curled around their shoulder, an undemanding message of loyalty.]


I’m still here, aren’t I?

I-I'm really sorry if this is like, making things weird or whatever and I'm not asking you to like me back or anything! I just like...I thought that if I didn't tell you how I feel, I wouldn't ever get over it.

[This sucks. This sucks! She feels as if one weight has been lifted off her shoulders only for another heavier one to be unceremoniously dropped right back on. In this instant, she wishes she would have just kept her stupid mouth shut and dealt with it. Pauline buries her face in her hands, as if meeting their eyes is too much.]

I'm sorry, I probably sound like, so dumb right now...!

"Emotions are not my strong suit...but for once I'm feeling something other than rage and sadness....being with you reminds me there is more to life than a goal...and I thank you for that."

Percy knows he has to turn and leave that he'll sully this in the end, but he couldn't leave with things unsaid...not this time. "My..heart is yours...what you choose to do with it is for you to decide."
