CUDDLE MEME

what to do:
☆ post a comment with your character's name and fandom or preferences, if you have them.
★ use the magic RNG 1-12 to pick the cuddly scenario. or not.
☆ then cuddle it out!

cuddle choices:
① Sweet dreams It's been a long day and all you want to do is sleep or just rest your eyes for a bit. Hopefully whoever is close by doesn't mind if you use them as a blanket.
② Stormy weather The heavy rain, thunder and lightning won't be letting up anytime soon. Luckily, it's the perfect weather to stay indoors and snuggle up close and keep warm.
③ Lazy dancer It's the end of a party, or maybe it's only the two of you, but the tempo is slow and the lights are low. Let your dance partner take the weight and just sway.
④ Surprise attack Time to invade someone's personal space. Are they working too much and need a distraction? Maybe you just wanted to brighten their day. Either way, they won't see it coming.
⑤ Movie night It can be on the sofa or in a darkened theater, but you've got your popcorn and someone to settle against during your favorite movie.
⑥ I love you, man It's totally platonic, really. You're just very good friends, no matter what people like to think. But you just love your friend so much you want to hug them, whether they like it or not.
⑦ Jeepers creepers Welp. You were just frightened. Was it a spider in the washroom, a ghost in the attic, a bad dream? Either way, you're looking for someone to cling to right now, and who better than that person right there?
⑧ Hurt and comfort Whether you're sick in bed, just been dumped or suffered a traumatic event, you need someone to wrap their arms around you and make everything go away.
⑨ Sunday morning Maybe you just had a wild night. Maybe there’s just not enough space at your place and you need to share your bed. Or maybe you just got really tired and someone else happened to be there. Doesn't matter because now the person with you looks way more comfortable than any blanket or pillow. Drape to your heart’s content.
⑩ Moment after You just had incredible, vigorous sex (playing out is totally optional) and if you weren't a cuddler before, you are now. You're probably too exhausted to do anything else anyway. Just enjoy the moment.
⑪ Ménage à trois Or four, or five. Get a group and cuddle away.
⑫ Player's choice Pick one or make up your own!

[ No 3 or 10 pls. ]

[ While normally the night was still, and unobtrusive, sans the sounds of voices just ushering in the dark, whispering questionable words of fear and discomfort; as many as the stars would feasibly allow for. While this left most individuals with a bitter taste in the back of their throats, it was something most, and especially the younger generation was almost too accustomed with. However, tonight was fundamentally different. For better or for worse. The fickle flickering of lightning refracted off the seemingly fragile glasswork around them, while the sound of thunder rumbled on through the (probably) otherwise inconspicuous hours of the evening. It’s in this, that she dutifully partakes in fulfilling her own desires.

Carefully holding onto a few rather pitifully thin blankets, she steps in closer and view of Eren. Proffering them, she silently stands there, perhaps waiting on some sort of response. It’s in this quiet atmosphere, however, that the sound of rain gradually increases in volume— finally ushering her to raise her voice. ] Eren.

[ Well, this was a start. ]

[ Tonight is one of those rare cases where they can sleep near one another. During the course of their training in the military, they had usually been separated come night fall because of issues of policy. On missions, even simple ones like running supply errands, there was room for flexibility.

Tonight hey were in the Capital in a run-down inn, biding their time until morning. Mikasa and Eren had a room to themselves, with two beds adjacent toward one another. He sits in his own, back against the headboard as he looks out through the dark window. There wasn't much to see from his position, but it was their only source of light. He should be trying to sleep, but once again he's feeling restless.

When Mikasa steps toward the bed, he turns, giving her an expectant look. She should have been settling in bed already, but she was stubbornly waiting for him. Or else, that's how he sees it. ]

What is it?

I got these blankets from down the hall. [ She speaks clearly and concisely, her tone even, and maybe even marginally professional and practiced despite the atmosphere. It’s only once she detects this in herself, that she attempts to mentally stray from this style of speech, even if only slightly. It’s clear from her previous words that she was essentially missing the fundamentals of what had compelled her to approach him in this manner. But, she wasn’t quite prepared to reveal that yet, or rather, she wanted to internalize the feeling of peace and tranquility she felt within him at her side.

The impression of closeness she feels to him now reminds her of that one night they spent at training camp, discussing their future on the gritty tabletop of the dimly lit enclosing. Though, she never concluded with the crucial end of her desired offering (not that the resolution she conjured up would have come to fruition, anyway— even if Eren didn’t walk… out on her while she was still talking), the emotions of that time swelled from within her. Breaking the silence, she nods to him slightly before taking a seat at the edge of his bed. ]

I was just thinking, if you want— [ Her voice grows soft, and before she can finish her words, the thunder drowns out any indication of her ever speaking. But, despite that she looks at him earnestly, blankets still bundled up on her lap. ]

... [ Had she gotten the blankets for him? That's his initial guess when she begins trailing off. But why did she get extra? It was chilly in their cheap, dreary room, but they were used to being cold... They had kept each other warm as kids when they were homeless, but things were different now. They were tougher. ]

You can use them. I'm fine like this. [ He draws up his legs, encircling his arms around them as he leans his chin down to rest against the valley between his knees. Outside, the thunder booms, lightning illuminating the entirety of the room. His eyes shift toward her, scanning her features while they're briefly visible to him. ]

[ Upon hearing that he was “fine” there was a sense of disappointment that simmered deeply within her, but as Eren probably knew— Mikasa could be unbearably stubborn. Reaching over she takes a firm grip of his arm, unraveling the blanket with the other. ] I understand that it isn’t necessary, but since we already have it, you should just use it.

[ Holding one of them out, the other unceremoniously falls to the floor from the subtle amount of intensity that plagued her actions. It’s when she realizes that she may have come off as slightly brash or overly incessant that she releases some of the pressure. Naturally, even in this fit, she was still largely impartial; the restrained look of reservation gracing her features in the dark, the only indication to any other underlying emotion. ] Don’t be stubborn at a time like this. This is why I can’t take my eyes off of you for even a second.

Edited (bc i don't know how to write gomen) 2013-05-13 08:30 (UTC)

Hey! [ Not understanding what she was doing, Eren moves his arm to yank it away, feeling suffocated by her insistence. He falls onto his side somewhat, bracing his elbow against the bed as he regards her with an indignant look. ] What are you doing, Mikasa?! Just leave it alone!

[ He didn't mean to sound as harsh as he did. As the words leave his mouth, he realizes that maybe he was protesting a bit too much for something so small. And he was cold. Feeling his arm, she might notice his skin is freezing. ]

[ Though, she was generally used to the fact that Eren was incapable of complying easily to her usually heartfelt requests, it doesn’t make it any less… concerning to deal with. She’s sure the sentiment is mutual, but logical didn’t easily find its place in many of their disagreements or formal disputes. While normally these types of issues were easily resolved in just one or two extraneous sentences from both parties, she’s far less inclined than usual to follow through with his desires. After all, the cold bite of his skin was so unmistakable that she found it difficult to turn away or ignore.

Solidifying her resolve once more, she touches his arm once more, little more gently this time before releasing it entirely. Though, it was a little too dark to see, her expression softens slightly as she gingerly takes a hold of the blanket with both hands. Without further notice, she drapes it over his shoulders, hopefully fighting off any efforts he made to avoid the woolen good in the process. ] But, you’re cold. [ Though, it may have been a known fact… Mikasa didn’t particularly like the cold or the concept of something feeling that way.

And yet, even now, even amongst their fighting or the sound of rain outside, and the way her skin chilled… she was warm because he was there. ... it was only expected she wanted to return the favor. She promised herself this. Maybe not within the same context, but-- ] Eren.

[ It's the softened touch of her hand that relaxes him before she moves to cover his shoulders with the blanket. Though reluctant to accept her offer, he relents, knowing very well that she'll get what she wants in the end. It was because he cared about her that he sometimes let her breach his boundaries of vulnerability, because in turn she allowed him to enter hers. He shrugs a shoulder up high, lowering his chin in a show of defiance as she makes her next remark.

He wants to say that he isn't. He's fine. He doesn't need her to baby him and keep him warm... But there was nostalgia to the idea of sleeping next to each other, just as they had when they were kids. It wasn't her taking care of him back then -- it had been mutually initiative. They had been taking care of each other then.

Now, the imbalance between their power was too obvious for him to pretend that it didn't exist. But there were the rare times, like these, where he felt that maybe she was in need of him for once. His brotherly instincts kick in as she utters his name, and with a sigh he lifts a hand to wrap around her neck, pulling her down against his shoulder. ]

You can sleep here tonight, if you want. [ Like when we were kids. ] Did you want to be closer to the window or something?

[ Because his bed was nearest to the wall. It's a offhanded guess. ]

[ As expected, as most of Eren’s feelings and inner dialogue have, the concept of “power distance” is something that completely eluded her. It wasn’t a matter in which she deeply deliberated or even pondered on, and if anything, she felt her innate strength came purely as a direct result of his substantial influence on her life. But, all the same, it was clear to her that while a lot of aspects of their relationship remained unaffected; there were some parts that regretfully shifted with time and age, and though, she didn’t selectively decide to pinpoint and measure each source and strain of these inherent issues— she was more than aware of them. And even if ignorance may have been the smoothest option, it wasn’t one she had the luxury of partaking in.

When he calms down, her gaze strays slightly to his hands, vaguely projecting where the creases of his knuckles were, amongst other things. The only thing, which brings her focus back to reality, is the soft way in which he pulls her. Peering to the side of his profile in the dark, she nods, a feeling of delight swelling over her. ] Yes. [ It was simple, and she usually had more to say to him, but she leaves it at that as her hand comes up to his back softly. ]

It’s nothing like that. I just thought it was a good opportunity. It’s been a while. [ Since they’ve been allowed to drop their guard. Or since they’ve been this physically close. It was… really nice and made her feel that everything that happened prior to this was just an elaborate nightmare.

Mikasa knew it wasn’t true (she wasn't that naive), but he gave her that belief. ] The window doesn't really do anything when the weather is this bad. [ She adds before giving the shirt on his back a reassuring squeeze. ]

[ A good opportunity? To do what? To sleep beside him? While the notion is ridiculous to him, it did give him a sense of belonging. His chest swelled with a pride he hadn't felt for a long time, and he is reminded of the duty he put upon himself when he first met her -- saved her. He had been supposed to protect her, but their roles ended up reversing somewhere along the line. He told himself that he didn't resent her for her talent or power because in actuality he was happy for her, as well as relieved. She would always be able to take care of herself in case he couldn't make it to her in time. But it was nice to feel needed and strong, because he did consider her to be his sister. Family, as she had put it herself, that he needed to take care of. ]

Mikasa. You were right. [ He extends his legs to make room for her as he wraps an arm around her shoulders securely, placing the soles of his bare feet against her warm shins. His feet are freezing... and her legs are warm. And Eren is rude. ] It's cold. [ So u can cuddle. ]

Let's move to your bed, then.

[ Mikasa is never quite sure how her words come out at the time she says them, or what they imply to vast majority of people hearing them, Eren included. But, it was notable to say that she never needlessly fabricated her words or feelings. When she stated that this was a “good opportunity,” she sincerely meant it, in every inference of the word, in every syllable uttered, and every single letter that strung her assertion together. Feeling genuinely content, she doesn’t even flinch with the chill of his bare feet presses against her legs. Rather, it was soothing, and inadvertently caused an even greater, more profound sense of warmth to grow and settle in from within the center of her chest.

Though, it may have been a self-gratifying notion, she didn’t desire to leave to spot; perhaps, unsure if the same treatment would be delivered on her behalf. But, as she justifiably finds herself incapable of expressing this, she clamps her mouth shut, silently pondering over her options. Instead, she uncharacteristically decides to leave it up to fate.

She reaches and holds onto his hand, keeping them tightly between her own before moving onto his forearm. Mikasa keeps his arm securely over her as she relaxes the tension in her shoulders. With one hand, she bring up her scarf, successfully feeling the coldness leave her cheeks. ] I’m fine with this. It’s a lot warmer already.

Unless you really want to…? [ To which she'll oblige, but this is already more than she could ever ask for, to be honest. ]

[ The pull of her hand against his own startles him momentarily. He blinks rapidly to ward off a rise of discomfort, turning more towards her to accommodate her repositioning, growing small. A part of him wanted to pull away, since he did feel like his personal space was being intruded upon, but Mikasa was holding onto his arm pretty tightly. He'd relent for the time-being, until she fell asleep. ]

Fine. [ It's a harsh word, especially coming from him, but it sounds soft this time around. ] Just don't move around so much, okay?

[ He moves to pull at the end of her scarf over her face. He was kind of surprised she still slept with the ratty thing. But she kept it clean, at least.

After giving her the command, he reaches for the blanket over his shoulders, covering most of himself as he settles down. His head rolls off to the side, away from her as he tilts his chin up toward the ceiling. His feet slide over her legs in the process, nudging between her calves. ]

(ooc: a wild Eren! oAo how about #7? although it'd work better if lineface here was the one who got startled.)

(ooc: OMG A tsukumo! :D I am not familiar with Karneval, so I'm afraid I wouldn't know how to incorporate Eren in her world! Would you like to meet in the middle by setting up a modern AU, or would you like to fit her into Eren's? Alsoo, I am perfectly fine with 7! How adorable. ♥_♥ )

(ooc: ayay for rare ~~pokemon~~ muses! Modern AU sounds like a happy compromise---would you like for me to start, or do you have a setup in mind?)

( ooc: if you could set it up, that would be great!! I will expand on what you write. Since you're familiar with both characters you could probably infer a dynamic way better than I could :) Thank you!! )

[Jiki apparently thought it was a good idea to incorporate spiders into their troupe's newest act-slash-play, loosely based on the myth of Athena and Arachne, in which Athena would confront the beastly spider-woman. A really good one. He also thought it was equally brilliant to suggest Tsukumo to play Athena. Hirato agreed. And Tsukumo could never say no to Hirato.

Jiki was wrong on both counts. There had been a slight...accident in which the live spiders that were to be used in the battle scene got released. Into their trailer. And into the street. Good times.

Tsukumo booked it---and since one Eren Jaeger is so conveniently in her escape route, this waifish blonde girl in the strange outfit will immediately cling to him with her eyes squeezed shut, shaking. What do...]

[ Eren was actually just on his way to the circus with the rest of his military team. They had been stationed somewhere near the area and thought it would be a good idea to do something fun to unwind. Eren had always been uninterested in the notion of relaxing, but he wasn't one to protest it either when well-meaning suggestions were offered.

He had apparently split off from the group somewhere along the line, and Eren wasn't necessarily in a hurry to reunite with them anytime soon. He was busy exploring and watching other boys his age play games. He actually tried some cotton candy, which was a first in his underprivileged life. It was a bit too sweet for his tastes, but the texture was different, and the way it melted in his mouth was almost strange enough to be enthralling.

He had just been wandering off into a vacant area when he hurt footsteps thudding toward him. His ingrained instincts immediately kick him into an alert state and he whirls around to face the impending confrontation. Except -- it's too late, because there are arms wrapping around him before he can even react. In a hasty reflexive action, he steps back hurriedly, probably throwing her off balance. ]

[Tsukumo's eyes snap open---first at the realization that she's in close physical proximity with someone (that she didn't even know), and then at that someone pulling away from her. She stumbles somewhat, but swiftly regains her footing; years of acrobatics have made her reflexes much better than most people's. When she looks up at Eren, she blinks rapidly at first, and then turns a slight pink in embarrassment.

How rude of her! And...well. Mortifying. Her voice is a stammer as she struggles to speak.]

Ah...I-I apologize. Er, there has been...an accident.

[Eren isn't exactly a stiff type of soldier, so her apparent fluster is greeted with his own look of concern. He half protests her apology by throwing a hand out and waving it. ]

I-it's fine! [ He had been taken by surprise by having someone suddenly clinging to him, and instead of having maternal feelings, he felt panicked. But he needs to make sure she's okay, right? ] Is there something wrong? Just what were you running away from?!

[Tsukumo falls silent at his question. Oh, lord.

How to explain this. It's clear from his uniform that he's military. 'Spider outbreak, help!' doesn't particularly sound like a threat to homeland security. Rather, it just sounded silly and stupid and like a gigantic waste of his time. She flushes all the more and looks down at the ground.]

Animals...got loose...

[She suddenly feels a chill go up her spine as she says this. Straightening up, eyes wide, she starts to look around.

And sees one of the spiders---did narration leave out the fact that the spiders were tarantulas?---on the ground.

asklhgafhjks

Tsukumo jumps, and in the blink of an eye, she's clinging to Eren again like a dope, shuddering. This is what happens when you have a deathly phobia of every insect ever.]

Huh?! [ He's incredulous, both by her answer and her sudden lunge forward. He was just about to throw his arms up to keep her at bay, but his eyes leave her to fall onto the tarantula racing about on the ground. Then... a bunch more follow after. Quickly, he wraps an arm around her to scoot backwards, away from the oncoming traffic. He hauls her weight up against his to jump back on the steps leading up to a trailer, too. He balances on the step nearest to the door by using his free hand to dangle from the roof edge above. ]

[Feeling and sensing Eren's movements, Tsukumo opens her eyes.

And realizes that now, with his dangling from the roof edge (what?), and his arm around her waist (what??), they are now in uncomfortably close proximity to one another (what???). If Tsukumo wasn't embarrassed before, she's absolutely humiliated now. She may also be setting a record for just how horrifically red one can get in the face, turning her head (and eyes) away from him to not focus on the fact that her face is now awfully close to his.

Oh, dear.]

I-I apologize, sir. The...spiders that were to be used in our act were accidentally set loose. It was not my intention to rudely compromise your personal space and... [Uh, what did Iva call that again?] ...harrass you.

[She looks down again. And sees another tarantula. And then about four more. And they're crawling up the other side of the trailer. Tsukumo lets out a tiny shriek, quickly burying her face into Eren's shoulder. Because, let's be real. How can an awkward situation get any more awkward?]

[ Normally, Eren wouldn't hesitate to crush the spiders underneath his feet, but it does occur to him that they may be a part of the circus/carnival, and he didn't want to get fined. He feels slightly panicked, since it'd be difficult to maneuver around the swarm of them with a girl attached to his side. But his soldier instincts were kicking in, and while a part of him looked down on her for being such a coward in the face of tiny creatures, he did feel responsible for her safety. Not that tarantulas could do any harm, unless there were poisonous ones around. ]

Do you think you could climb up to the roof? [ He ignores her apology for the time being, but he does nudge his shoulder against her to keep her face at bay. He wasn't too protective of his personal space, but in this case he felt a little awkward. ] Just get on my shoulders and hop up. We'll climb down the other side. Get moving!
