➔ And yes, this is a combination of several love memes, and grab bag memes!

THE THEMES

ONE ➔ CONFESSION: You've been admiring this person from afar, or you've been friends with them for a while. Whatever you want! Either way, you've finally worked up the courage to admit how you feel!

TWO ➔ YANDERE STYLE: I think we all know how this goes. You're sweet on your crush when they're focused on you, making them lunch with rice balls with smiles... aw... wait, are they looking at another cute person?! THEY'RE ONLY ALLOWED TO LOOK AT ME.

THREE ➔ LOVE NOTES: Send your crush personalized little love notes for them to find! Flick them at your crush, or hide them in their shoes! Draw pictures of you two kissing! Heck, even an old fashioned YES/NO checkbox note will do. But you've gotta get their attention with your written prowess! Get creative! Maybe they'll come up to you and you'll find true love!

FOUR ➔ SEVEN MINUTES IN HEAVEN: You're locked in a closet with someone else! It can be a crush, a friend, a boyfriend, whatever! But whoever it is, you're locked in a closet with them with the intent to kiss. Will you go through with it? Will it end up in romance? Or will it end up as a B-B-B-BAD ROMANCE?

FIVE ➔ KISSING BOOTH: You're working a kissing booth, for whatever reason. Charity, for your school, or just because you got conned into it. But will something special bloom from a chance encounter with a booth guest? Or will you just be embarrassed for life, and punch your friends for getting you into this later?

SIX ➔ IT'S A DARE: You've been dared by someone to romance this specific person! You're not allowed to tell that it's a dare, and you must seem earnest. Will you be able to make them swoon from your charms? Or will you fall into love's trap, and fall head over heels for real?

SEVEN ➔ LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT: You've been completely dazzled by this specific person! Your heart races, you have a cold sweat... why is this?! You simply must get to know them! Maybe it was meant to be!

EIGHT ➔ TSUNDERE STYLE: Sure, you like them, but you can't show that by being cute or cooking them lunch! No, you have to punch their shoulder and tug on their hair, of course! W-what? They're complimenting you? Try not to blush too hard, or shove them too much.

NINE ➔ IT CAN NEVER BE: You're both already taken, or you simply can't be together for some reason! Your families hate each other, your friends hate each other, or you only see each other once a year! But you don't care, you have tonight, and romance is in the air. Maybe you can break away from what can't be, just for one night of fun and love.

TEN ➔ NEVER SAY NO: You're super intent on making this person yours! You're willing to go to the extreme to garner their affections! How can they say no to extreme outbursts of love and other hard-to-ignore signs of affection? Though, it might be easier to just ask... but that's not big enough for your love!

RATED R

ELEVEN ➔ THE KISSING DISEASE: You simply must kiss this person. You have to get your lips on them somehow, anywhere, everywhere. Even if you have to push them into an empty closet and lock the door to do so!

TWELVE ➔ DRUNKEN ENCOUNTER: You both met up, drunk, and you're both feeling a little bit adventurous thanks to the booze. Are you ready to get down and dirty on a beach, or do you want to vandalize something a bit before barging into a hotel room? The choice is, drunkenly, yours!

THIRTEEN ➔ OBSESSION: You're so obsessed with this person, you want them so badly -- you're willing to do just about anything to get them. Manipulate, pretend, tie them up, make them yours! You're driven by your desire!

FOURTEEN ➔ IN PUBLIC?!: There's something about messing around in a public place, where anyone can walk in on you anytime. Try to keep quiet, the woman over in the bathroom stall next to you might hear you and your partner heating up and fooling around.

FIFTEEN ➔ HANDS: Hey, woah! Your hands just happen to keep drifting to "inappropriate places"! You might not realize it, or it might be fully intentional! Whatever it is, it's happening! Maybe your partner will simply brush you off, or maybe they'll suggest you two scadattle off to a room!

...it wasn't 'Bunny', was it?

[Waiting to feel the next nod, he already knoooows.]

Ah, right again! Do you work with them?

Ah, not exactly...

[Worst fear confirmed. Mental anguish... Okay, gotta put on a happy smile.] This is actually a very, very coincidental train ride.

Oh...really?

{Her luck isn't that bad, so she's not even thinking of 'that.'

If she doesn't think of it, it won't be true.}

Yes, seeing as I'm part of the duo you mentioned. But... please don't call me Bunny.

[...welp awkward introductions it is.]

{Her forehead falls forward against his back with all the force of total and utter despair.}

Oh, fuck my life.

[...surpriiiise. This entire train conversation is definitely being erased from memory forever.]

{Welp, fair's square.}

...Yako Katsuragi.

{AKA the girl who became known as the High School Girl/Piggish detective at sixteen then spent a few years after graduating globe-trotting, eating staggering amounts of food, and diffusing terrorist situations and solving more murders. That Yako Katsuragi.}

[He's heard of you... Weren't they supposed to have an interview or something? He's not really sure on what exactly they're doing - Agnes said she'd fill him in on all the details once he arrived. Welp.]

...nice meeting you, Miss Katsuragi. I have a feeling we'll be seeing a lot more of each other in the upcoming days.

{She...really wishes he could have waited to say that later. When she wasn't embracing him like a lover from some shoujo manga.}

You too, um. Mr. Barnaby.

{She...doesn't know his full name, haha. Food and work > TV and such.}

[He bites back a laugh. This is seriously the worst place for introductions.]

Just Barnaby is fine.

Then so is just Yako.

{Honestly, after everything that's happened before, they have at least earned a first-name basis.{

Nice to meet you, Yako.

[Sounds about right. So... now he's not really sure where to go with this conversation. Smalltalk in this sort of position is just... ehng...]

You're still doing alright, aren't you?

Yeah...

{Except they still have no space.}

Are we almost there?

[Looking up, looking over.]

Just the stop after thi--

[And a ding from the train, and a fairly mechanical-sounding voice begins to talk.]

There is a problem on the train line ahead of us. This train will be delayed for a few minutes. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.

[Can't let them off that easy, can you, fate?]

Oh, perfect.

{She sighs, shoulders slumping. It's never easy is it? Well, at least things can't get much w--

She cuts that thought off, but not quick enough. A few muted giggles and whispers let her know that their position has been spotted by a gaggle of high school girls somewhat close-by.}

Great...

[So a group of giggling teenage girls and a train delay. Agnes is going to chew him out once the tabloids start.]

The most we can do is ignore them.

Easy enough for you to say. You're not the one who looks like a clingy girlfriend.

{She grumbles, seeing the headlines already. She doesn't even dare to hope they'll be taken for cosplayers.}

It's not your fault; the train's crowded.

[Since there's nothing he can do since moving doesn't even sound like a good plan. Well, he'll ignore them.]

I know, I know...

{She resists the urge to bury her face in his back when she hears the tell-tale click of a phone-camera. God damn it.

...she flexes the fingers resting against his stomach.}

My arm's getting tired.

[Ignoring thaaat-- wait, her arm? What's he supposed to do, hold it up for her?]

Can you wait a little longer?

{She shrugs. She doesn't want to end up pulling on his shirt, is all.}

Yeah. Just let me know when you get a couple inches to move, okay?

Certainly.

[And he's hoping that this train starts moving again, but if anything it's just the people getting restless, and one guy tries to force his way in their general direction. Crowd's moving. Hang on tight.]

{Yako feels the tide of people beginning to shift, and doesn't cling so much as...okay, yeah, she actually is kind of clinging, but it is horribly easy for her to get swept away by crowds. Barnaby will just have to deal with her pressing herself flat up against his back once the jostling starts, because her back hurts enough as is.}

[And the feeling of her pressed up so close against him just causes his cheeks to grow warmer, in embarrassment and frustration. He can't recall any time when he's had a woman pushed this close against him, and especially not in such an uncomfortable place.

And with the clicking of the fangirls and people moving everywhere, he ends up just grabbing onto her arm to make sure she doesn't get swept away. Even if he's frustrated, he's also got that hero disposition hardwired into him at the moment.]
