Kissing scars

The Kissing Scars Meme
Despite the romanticism surrounding the emotion, it can be difficult to be loved completely — not just the beautiful parts of us, but also the sad parts, the injured parts, the hidden and less-than-pleasant parts. There are marks on us, both physical and mental, that we'd often rather forget. The mental ones can just be easier to hide. As for physical scars, they can be off of our minds some of the time, but that's exceedingly hard to do in more intimate, close moments.

Whether it's to your dismay or otherwise, your partner is not looking away and ignoring your scars. To the contrary, they're providing attention in a way most heavily associated with tenderness: kissing. It may be an accidental slip-off target, or they may be trying to show you that what you've done and who you've been don't matter to them now.

Does the gesture touch you? Make the walls come up once again because of the memories that are dredged from somewhere you'd rather no-go? A mixture of both?

The wound has long closed, yet the pains remain; these days, however, there's someone who may be willing to help you bear it.

  • Reply with the usual: canon, character, preferences, et al. You may also want to say if you're down for smut or not, since it's not a given.
  • Be sure to include what side you'd like your character to play. Mention if you can do both the kisser and the kissed.
  • Also, feel free to talk about your character's scars.
  • Reply to others.

[For the canonblind: he's a fox spirit in a human body. He's hundreds of years old but also physically 15-19 in human form, depending on canon point.

Good for either role, but don't hesitate to reach out for clarity or to discuss things!

I'm still stretching my legs with someone I haven't played since the LJ era. Good with cross-canon, cross-medium, canonmates, or OCs. Whatever you've got.]

OTA for gen, 16+ for shipping to be mutual. By default, I play a post-canon AU that can be found here. This allows him to be more playable. Other canon points can be found here if you'd prefer.

The kisser. He's very much someone who looks after other people. )

Kurama had spent so long in the human world by this point in his life that he'd managed to carve out little corners of tranquility wherever he could. A local flower shop, for example, where he visited frequently enough to know the owners rather well. Exchanging pleasantries and sharing news about family as his latest selection was packed up for purchase. While it was true that he was often there shopping for his mother, that also served as an innocent and mundane cover story for his other purpose for being there.

The part of him that would never be fully human, that is. The part of him that still remained armed at all times. That also sensed the sudden presence of someone else in that tiny family business who was decidedly not human. Not entirely, at least. There weren't many patrons in the building but it was small enough that everyone was too close together to really identify the source.

He continued to focus on browsing some of the other plants, listening politely to the florist as he tried to keep whoever he'd sensed unaware. Just in case their intentions were not quite so peaceful. He'd rather his ability to detect them go unnoticed unless it couldn't be helped, but if they were there for a fight he needed a game plan to move away from the store where injury to humans would be minimal.

[ooc: sorry for how late this wound up! It took me a bit to get back to tags and find the meme. Also happy to match format if you prefer brackets over prose.]
