marriage life meme
(condensed version)

rules:
* post with your character's name and series in the comment title along with any preferences or notes.
* taggers, go to RNG and roll between 1 and 3, or choose one of the prompt selections down below.
* head back to RNG or go there if you haven't already and roll between 1 and 5, or choose a prompt of your own.
* play out the sequences relevant to that of a married lifestyle.

1. proposal {
1. park - you've been planning this proposal for awhile and have taken your sweetheart to a nice secluded area in the park. are they going to say yes or leave you in the dust?

2. house - dimmed lights, candles, home made dinner. it's obvious you've fixed yourself up for something tonight. let's see if your lover catches on before the question is popped.

3. public event - perhaps you're one who wants to gain a lot of attention; maybe your significant other doesn't as much. either way, this goes from writing their message in the sky with an airplane to something like a flash mob ensemble with others involved.

4. restaurant - nothing romantic like taking them out somewhere ritzy and hiding the rings in that glass of expensive wine.

5. car - you've driven them somewhere nostalgic or meaningful either to you or each other, or perhaps just a good view overlooking the city cause maybe you had no other idea how to do it or couldn't afford anything else.

2. marriage {
1. traditional - both parties have agreed and said yes, and everything goes well just like in the fairy tales you've always dreamed of.

2. arranged - you had no say so in this but somebody else like your parents did. you've never seen this person before until you walk down the aisle. what are your thoughts? are you nervous? what if you two don't get along? looks like you have to deal with it either way. enjoy?

3. elope - nothing fancy. you know, they do make drive thru chapels or perhaps you're just going to experience the excitement of meeting up at the court. all and all, it doesn't matter, just so you have your sweetheart to yourself.

4. shotgun - congrats, somebody is pregnant. there's only one more thing left to do now..

5. disaster - looks like somebody forgot the rings! never mind the fact the maid of honor is having a wardrobe malfunction or that soon to be father in law is causing a scene of some sort.

3. after marriage {
1. honeymoon night - self explanatory! come on, you know what this means. it just wouldn't be the same without this option.

2. new addition - it could be a pregnancy or bringing home a new child, or something as simple as a new pet goldfish.

3. house purchase - after months of living in a trashy apartment, you're both about to sign the dotted line and move into your new place.

4. argument - deep, relationship sort of arguments or something petty like who drank all the milk; it's up to you!

5. divorce - somebody has had enough of this and is ready to move on. how will it all go down?

[ Too bad Rictor's probably had a little too much sex and engaged in a lot too much debauchery to be considered for sainthood, as well intended as that candidacy may be. Julio keeps a wary eye on the cat as he continues cooking, only really leaving the kitchen to open their balcony door to pull the screen across, letting heat out of the kitchen and fresh summer air in.

.. At least the cat stays put. That way he doesn't have to worry about wrangling the thing so it doesn't get any possible creepy-crawleys in their furniture. By the time Shatterstar gets back, the cat will have only moved to curl up under the ledge of their island, and Julio will be nearly finished dinner, listening to the radio on a low volume. ]

[He comes back with a few grocery bags in tow, and letting himself in with the preternatural grace that just seems to come to Mojoworlders. The performer makes his way inside, humming to himself. He sways a little, in time with the music that his ears pick up, though it's more a subconscious thing. Setting the bags on the living room floor, he sets them aside carefully before he returns to the kitchen. Rictor's timing was impeccable, as always.

He seems to want to make good on this, and he sidles in close to the other man. One hand finds the other's back pocket and he folds himself against Rictor with a careful easy practice. They've had too much time to not perfect the art of affection.]

Smells good, lover. What did you make?

[richterscale]

Fajitas. Or tacos, if you want. [ Julio shrugs, at that. They're just kind of the same, in the end, though they don't really have guacamole or anything like that. He'd long learned to make due with having things at least cooked in the correct way, tortillas in a container that kept them moist and warm off to the side somewhere.

Despite how irritated he is there's a flea bitten potential little shit under their island right now, he turns to give Shatterstar a little kiss anyway, careful not to draw his husband in too much. They'd burned far too much food and drawn far too much attention getting a little too amorous while he was cooking, at this point, and they'd only had this apartment for a few months. ]

The cat's been asleep since you left. Except when it moved under the island chairs, of course..

[Well, they had to get the place properly broken in. It was weird, not having all the noise in the place from seven or eight mutants living under a roof, so they had to fill the time somehow! He had heard this kind of thing calmed down in the face of marriage, but he really didn't see himself wanting Julio any less in any manner whatsoever. He smiles fondly from the sweet kiss, and drifts back to start setting the table for the both of them, though his eyes wander to Rictor's backside.

Yup. Not slowing down on that fine piece anytime soon.] That makes sense. He had a big day, after all. But I'm glad you two got along while I was out. That makes this considerably easier. Next time, I will be sure to discuss with you if we are adopting another animal or not beforehand. I thought about that on the way, it was rude of me.

[At least Shatterstar's a little more self-aware now. He was learning--and being in Rictor's space 24/7 just them had sped the process just a little. They still got catty and upset with each other, but that was par for the course.]
