Confession

THE LOVE CONFESSIONS MEME

Confessions of feelings are rarely as nice and romantic as they seem in the Hollywood flicks. Sometimes, they're screamed across an empty house as someone leaves. Others, they whispered across white pillow cases as bodies lie close together in the dark. Of course, these feelings may not be returned, but it may be the only shot you have.

If you even meant to spill, anyway.

How to Play
- Comment with your character, putting your information and preferences somewhere in the comment.
- Comment to other characters. Roll the RNG to get your prompt, or pick one.
- Play out the scene and take it whatever direction you'd like.
- Be cute and fun or sad and depressing.

Prompts

1. Planned: You've been planning to tell this person how you feel, and you know exactly the way to do it.

2. Spontaneous: Uh-oh, it just slipped out! Maybe you weren't thinking, maybe it was a fight, but somehow, your secret's out.

3. Heat of the Moment: What's better than calling someone's name out in the trows of passion? Why, telling them you love them, of course!

4. The Last Time: You're coming clean with your feelings because you're dying, moving away, leaving the planet, going to war, whatever. Might as well when you'll probably never see them again.

5. Jealousy: You've seen the one you love in the arms of another, and you just have to let your feelings be known so they don't end up with the wrong person! Selfish, what's selfish?

6. Drunk: A drunk man's words are a sober man's thoughts, so maybe you should be careful what you say, or you'll be telling your best friend you have the hots for her. Awkward.

7. Lie: You don't actually have feelings for this person, but you need them to believe that you do in order to use them, get something, or perhaps to not hurt their feelings.

8. Sweet: You confess...and they feel the same, and have wanted to say it for a while. Oh, how cute! Go on and enjoy your cute little romance.

9. One-sided: One of you confessed, but it's completely unrequited. Can you still be friends, or is that too painful?

10. Forbidden: Your love for this person is totally uncool - not allowed, even. But it has to be brought to light, preferably by you.

11. Unfulfilled: While you both love each other, you decided mutually that this can't go any further.

12. WILDCARD

[ 'i'm fine', kaveh says as though he isn't drunk enough not to recognize a man next to him without adequate time. alhaitham arches a brow, trying to parse whether or not he's being deliberately obtuse before easily settling on the cold truth that he isn't. ]

Surprising, given you didn't realize it was me.

[ there's a frown in his tone that even he himself finds irritating, holding kaveh's gaze before letting his expression match it. ]

And you weren't complaining about the cold, you're right. You were, however, about to lose your shirt.

[kaveh]

( why does alhaitham being right cause so much irritation? kaveh can feel his muscles tense and his hands ball into tiny fists simply because.

deep breaths. focus. alhaitham’s probably right about it all but it doesn’t mean kaveh has to like it.

biting his bottom lip, he mulls over those last few words. his cheeks turn an even rosier shade of red. )

And what a hero you are, Alhaitham. Sparing this classy establishment from the vulgar sight of more of my chest.

( subconsciously, a hand goes to the edge of the cloak. just. feeling it. quieter, he complains: ) Maybe I wanted to be seen.

[equipollent]

[ it makes alhaitham pause, attention steady as he turns over kaveh's words in his head. maybe kaveh did want to be seen. maybe the crowd he attracted is what he wanted, too. averting his gaze again, he reaches for his glass of water, draining the remainder. ]

Did you? Want to be seen, that is. If you did, by all means. I'll leave you to it, Kaveh. It wasn't Lambad's I was sparing.

[ it's a difficult thing, not losing his temper here. kaveh is drunk, after all. alhaitham's jaw tenses, relaxing only a beat or two after. ]

At least do yourself a favor and drink some water beforehand.

[kaveh]

( kaveh’s cheeks are puffed out. belligerently, he ignores his water and wrings his hands in his lap. )

Do you know how it feels to be so… so uninspired? Lately, I can’t draw a single thing I like. It’s as if there’s nothing good left in me.

( he leans more toward the table, frowning, forgetting why he was angry with alhaitham a moment ago. )

I’m drowning in debt, my proposals keep getting rejected, I don’t have a house to my name and I am apparently even worse at love than I am keeping Mora to my name.

[equipollent]

[ alhaitham listens, slanting a glance to kaveh to take in the way his cheeks are puffed out and the warm color is ebbing away. he could press the issue of the water and kaveh's impending hangover, but restrains himself. it isn't long before he finds himself actively watching him again, turned towards him on the seat.

sometimes he forgets how easy it is for kaveh to shrink in on himself, the cumulative pressure wringing him out. ]

If it's mostly love that's worrying you tonight, I'd attribute it to the fact you spent a good deal of time talking about me. You drew quite the crowd.

[ but. ]

As for the rest, a few missteps and stupid decisions don't define you. You constantly overwork yourself. Saying there's nothing good left in you is a lie and we both know it.

[kaveh]

( it grates kaveh how easily alhaitham can just talk about things as if he’s right. as if he has no idea how hard things are.

kaveh’s fingers clutch tighter at alhaitham’s cloak draped over him. pointedly, he mutters, loudly: )

Of course I was talking about you. ( who else occupies his mind more than they should and makes kaveh an absolute mess of a person in far more ways than one? )

When things continue to go wrong, Alhaitham, shouldn’t you retest your hypotheses? I’m broke and the man I’m in love with is too busy lecturing me to have a real conversation about anything.
