Affection Meme

You suddenly want the affection of another. Whether it's just a hug or you're making sexy eyes at your beau.

Rules:
1. Post your character.
2. Tag to others using rng.
3. Get cozy!

Fluff:

1. Shoulder punch: This person needs to seriously buck up. Maybe a playful punch in the shoulder will help them cheer up. Just make sure you watch your strength... and your aim. You don't want to accidentally punch this person really hard in the face... do you?

2. Tickle: It's time to see this person smile and hear them laugh, whether they want to or not. Grab a feather or use your fingers and go to town on their most sensitive spots. Don't worry, I'm sure they'll forgive you... probably.

3. Hug: Come on now, don't be shy. Everyone needs one of these every so often. Go up to this person and hug them like you've never hugged before!

4. Tackle Glomp: You love this person so much that a normal hug just isn't gonna cut it. You need to launch yourself at this person at full force and just wrap your arms around them until they pop! Don't worry, they can take it! Just... try not to do this around any staircases.

5. Pinch Cheeks: Look at that face! It's so cute you just wanna pinch those cheeks. Please note that we are not responsible for any violent repercussions that may arise from this action.

6. Kiss on the Cheek: Exactly what it says on the kiss. Go right on up to this lucky person and give them a nice peck on the cheek.

7. Kiss on the Lips: Wow. This person must really mean a lot to you. After all, it's not like you would just go around and kiss anyone on the lips right? What's that? You've never met this person before? Oh well, I'm sure they'll understand.

8. Flirty Compliment: Damn this person looks good. Even if you're not the kind to do so, you suddenly feel the need to compliment him or her on their appearance, and maybe even flirt a bit.

9. Just say it: Physical displays are nice, but words from the heart mean everything. From a heartfelt confession, to a casual "I love you man", to those three little words accidentally slipping out, it's time to let this person know how you feel... or not.

10. Holding Hands: Sometimes you don't need to say anything. Sometimes all you need to do is put your hand in theirs for them to know exactly how you feel about them.

Steamy:

11. Grope: This person looks so good you just can't seem to help yourself. Whether it's their crotch, ass, or bust, you suddenly have an urge to grab a naughty place on this person.

12. Strip: What's the best way to show you care about someone. How about dragging them off to nice private place and taking off your clothes for them? ... Okay, that's a terrible way of showing you care, but you're gonna do it anyway! Besides, maybe something else can happen once your clothes are off...

13. Lick: This person looks good enough to eat, and you're feeling particularly naughty today. So? Go ahead and lick them in the spot of your choice. It's not creepy it's... okay, maybe it is a little creepy, but their reactions are guaranteed to be priceless.

14. Sweet Loving: Definitely the most extreme expression of your undying affection for this person. Take them to a bedroom and show them just how much you care about them. Or, maybe you're just kinky. I'm not gonna judge you.

15. Covert Loving: Or, maybe you can't wait to get to a bedroom. In that case, take this person somewhere out of sight and make love to them right then and there. Just make sure they keep quiet. It would be bad if someone heard you.

16. All tied up: Is there any better way of showing how much you care about this person than tying them up before you have sex? Probably, but you're just in one of those dominating moods today. So this person is going to receive your love and adoration whether they want to or not.

It is nothing you have done, Nyota, I assure you, but in light of recent events-- [A large part of him does not wish for this distance between them that is suddenly very obviously there, but he was doing this for both their sakes.]

--I lost control after the Captain died. I cannot allow myself to become enmeshed in another relationship to which the result of its ending due to the obligations of the course of our duties--

[He finds himself at a loss for words. He closes his eyes briefly, steadies himself mentally and physically before continuing.]

I cannot continue.

In light of recent events. [ Of course, they both knew what he was talking about. But how was this different from him being ready to give up his life in a volcano and the loss she would feel after his death in the line of duty? Glancing up sharply, she could only stare at him for a few moments, collecting her thoughts. ]

As members of Starfleet, when we accepted our commission, we accepted that risk as well. Why is it different for you than it is for me, or so many other Starfleet members who choose to date, marry, have children while serving?

[ She has to remain logical; he'll accept a logical argument, even when an emotional one will fail. She can't act like a child and cling to him and beg him not to leave - it's not her. As much as she wants to hold him. As much as this feels wrong. ]

I am Vulcan.

[Simple. Short. To the point. While it carries the weight of a vast variety of undercurrents that could not be encompassed in either of their native tongues.]

[ Oh. Oh. Suddenly, that matters. It's never mattered before, though it gave her pause before when she had thought about pursuing him, when she had feelings for him -- and suddenly, that's everything to him. He was Vulcan, and she was human and while he might enjoy her company, even call it a relationship, marriage and anything in the future was out of the question for him. For him.

Uhura didn't play for the short term game, not with men and not with Spock.

The hurt in her eyes, hidden and muted before is palpable now, and she actually takes a physical step back. Then she nods. ]

.. I understand. Sir. [ There might be tears on her face, but you'd never know it from the way she was speaking, head held high, jaw stubbornly set. ] I won't bother you again.
