4. Do this as many times as you like until you're bored with it all. UNLIMITED THREADS.
5. OPTIONAL: combine a bunch of memes and scenarios for one strange thread of whacked out weirdness. Handcuffed to an escort while you have amnesia? WHY NOT?

Comments

[alethiological]

[There's the tempting feeling to keep taunting her, but he doesn't. He knows she's already internally hating him for it. That's enough for now.

So, closing his book with a sigh.] That wasn't so hard, was it?

[llywelin]

[Don't tease her into biting. That won't end well.

She will however keep complaining because she can and is whiny.] It was, actually. It's embarrassing to ask like that.

[alethiological]

[No biting, that is a rule and it will get her knocked to no-sex town for the rest of the week.]

It's just a question.

[llywelin]

[She only bites because it annoys him. And she doesn't get the big deal anyway.]

You're not the one who has to ask it, though.

[alethiological]

[You are a civilized human being, civilized people don't bite.]

Would you feel better if I asked it? [Said with that calm inflection that Lion knows him well enough to pick as the 'you are going to get mocked horribly for this if you agree' vibe.]

[llywelin]

[Will just isn't kinky enough.

And now the inner dilemma that he can probably see playing out in Lion's head: ask or don't?

Asking is death. Asking means regretting it forever. Will would not forget it and bring it up whenever he felt Lion deserved a little kick. Or for reasons of trolling. Lion knows.

And yet...so curious. Probably the only chance to ever hear him ask it. It's not like Lion wouldn't be turned on by it. Short run? Good. Long run? Bad.

Headache? Impending. Specifically twitching behind the left eye. Sex cures those or something. Lion read that once. Or possibly is making it up in a horny haze but close enough to reading it once.

Anyway, is Lion really a long-term planner? No.

So, trying to be casual and win this - or not lose completely - Lion lets curiosity triumph.] ...If I did say yes, hypothetically speaking of course, how would you ask?

[alethiological]

[Like a contract with the devil, her accepting is a signature for her own writ demise. Lion can probably hear his smirk as she speaks. Well, she took that option.]

Hypothetically... Hm.

[Maybe there's a moment there where he comes to terms with the fact that doing this means accepting a loss in the short term. But even if it was a long term one, he doesn't care as much as she does. A master of apathy.

So aside from that short pause, there's no hesitation when he uses a hand to turn her face around. Leaning down over her, which isn't that hard even when she has a height boost from sitting on him, and giving no warning before kissing her. Staying for a few moments before pulling away just far enough to press his forehead to hers, smiling into her breathing and brushing her hair away with the same hand.]

Come with me. [A soft sentence on its own, but it's just like the last time. It's not in the words, but the actions and the feeling behind them.]

[llywelin]

...Oh... [Eloquent as ever, breath catching softly so that it's more a soft exhale. Lion puts forth some effort into responding, though, in a way that isn't physical. The only real response her mind can come up with is 'yes, please.' So she struggles with words even with her skin buzzing and pulse fluttering.] I- You're really...good at that, actually...for not, ah...thinking it.

[Well, she's trying.]

[alethiological]

[At least he pulls away after she speaks, so it should be easier for her to put together two ends of a sentence now. Getting compliments for frying her brain, she really did lapse on that one.]

It's not hard. You just need to know how to use your emotions.

[llywelin]

[The lapse is at least repairing slightly. But only slightly. Lion looks at him thoughtfully and ignores the flush spreading over her body. How can she ignore a claim like that? It's practically insulting.

And Will has such an advantage, really, since he doesn't get worked up like this and she's already dizzy with feelings. Still, stubborn as ever, it means one more try. Hopefully with even a hint of success.

Sitting up in his lap, Lion manages to meet his eyes. This time, she isn't awkward or fidgeting. Will said think in emotions and that's what she does. Cupping Will's cheek, Lion brushes the pad of her thumb over his skin, across the corners of his lips. She watches with half-lidded eyes and leans in to kiss him, hair falling around them as she lingers on it. Her free hand rests on his chest as a gentle pressure over his heart.

When she breaks the kiss, her breathe trembles and it's warm as she murmurs to him.] Please stay with me, Will...

[Lion has actually forgotten her own goal, so there's not even that to stop the sincerity of her words.]

[alethiological]

[She'll know she did it right when his eyes widen imperceptibly at her touch, a hand resting over the one on her chest, whatever general tenseness he keeps up unconsciously melts off entirely at her kiss. Massive success Lion. It even covers her previous failures.

Then after she pulls away she gets the gift of a short breath against hers, held without him noticing it, and it takes a second for his thoughts to resurface from the sea of gold.]

I will, always. It's a promise.

[llywelin]

[Lion smiles softly and her eyes - a little hazy as they are - light up, maybe reflecting his own eyes in the veiled world they share now. What she likes about this isn't so simple as physical needs, especially when her own needs are low, or even having his attention, though she'd never complain for it.

As she nags his apathy, Lion knows how tense he is, how much he keeps covered and quiet, that she would be hard-pressed to find others who could say they've seen that look in his eyes. From how he talks, most people might not believe it even if they did see it.

It's a shame but secretly, what makes her happiest is that she can hold that look and the soft exhale and know they're for her, because of her.

She kisses him again and turns her hand to take hold of his.] I'll always promise the same. So please... [This time the kiss is a little more needy, hand squeezing his.]

[alethiological]

[Even distracted as he is, it's an ingrained habit to pick out small details from everything. While usually it attributes to his tension, now all of the things picked up are just her. That slight shift in her eyes, a catch in her breath that means she's smiling without noticing it, the warmth of her hands to the feel of her lips to the presence of starlight that comes off her hair.

Always reading into things and cataloging details is stressing, but it's a constant for so long he doesn't even notice. But when it's her and only her, it's like that feeling is gone, like it never even was. Those miniscule observations are relaxing, liberating knowing none of these things are dangerous, ever would be, and even if she became a witch he'd never be able to damn her for it.

She'll probably think the reason he's laughing into her second kiss is because she's acting desperate. It's really because he's stupidly in love with everything about her and that's completely, totally, one hundred percent alright.] I know, I get it. You don't have to whine.

[llywelin]

[It is what she thinks and Lion pouts, resting their foreheads together. That said, even if the laugh seemed teasing or amused, looking into his eyes softens her pout to nothing more than a fond smile. Not knowing what Will is thinking, Lion still shares the sentiment wholeheartedly.

Though, the next kiss is still kept a little less desperate. Maybe not self-conscious but rather, a tentative attempt to listen to him.] I'm just a bit eager from missing you.

[alethiological]

[She'll either catch the thoughts or miss them completely, but whether or not she manages is irrelevant. The answer is obvious in his eyes, reading his mind would just give a confirmation to the theory, but at least it means she's not fighting just to get a reaction this time.] Really? You should have less friends.

[The usual flat tone he has is gone, making it obvious he's joking. For once.]

[llywelin]

[Really, most of the time, a reaction is all she wants. It might be why Lion can be a little more outlandish and bold towards Will when she tends towards milder behaviour towards most others. And she grins, just slightly, at his words and kisses him slower as if to savour it and prove her next statement.] It may be in our best interest to spend more time together, so of course, I wouldn't mind if my schedule was less cluttered.

[Not that it means less friends. She's quite happy with what she has. But she won't complain if Will drags her around more.]

[alethiological]

[It was doing a good job at proving it until she speaks, which gets a huff of either irritation or amusement. Probably the latter, he's in too good a mood otherwise. She's this clingy and demanding, and still making overly well-worded comments. Like it's a suggestion rather than an actual question.

Lion, this is another moment where your boyfriend is a horrible person. Resting his forehead against hers with a sigh.] Fridays are off limits, and I really am busy the rest of the week. I can't exactly take you to work with me either.

[llywelin]

Why did I make you get a job again? [It might be half-serious at the moment. Especially since in this daze, it's easier to feel a little restless. Lion pushes him back and kisses him again, thinking as she does.] Once I get something started, we can work on it together. That seems good.

[If there are issues, she's not thinking about them. She is, however, ducking her head to kiss Will's neck.]

[alethiological]

Because you're a horrible person. [Completely serious, yes. Even though he's smiling when he says it, even though he kisses her back, even though his mind's elsewhere when he says it and when she says something else. Less focusing on her speech and issues and more focusing on just her. Maybe not entirely serious.]

Oh. What were you thinking of 'getting started' on. A series of books on bad seduction tips.

[llywelin]

[Probably for the best, since Lion is only half-focusing on the words. Only enough is given to actually answer them. The rest of her focus is more on the tone and way he speaks and how each syllable sounds and the slight vibration she can feel at her lips, between his pulse and breathing.]

Mm? [Pausing in her adoration of his neck, Lion lifts her head to blink, obviously trying to find the answer in the fog.] ...You have such a lovely voice. [Is that it? No, it isn't.] Oh, ah, some sort of...investment. Radio, maybe? I'll consider it.

[The funny part, really, is how unaware she is of how she sounds. Lion just smiles and kisses his jaw, happy as ever.]

[alethiological]

[That gets a blink, eyes darting to her after she said it. Most adjectives that came up about his voice were things like 'deep' or 'apathetic' or 'scary'. A few others that were even farther from her dazed compliment. And it's so obviously genuine and so far from nowhere, Lion can see his own thoughts lapse in a quiet embarrassment.

Then she's speaking again and back to sending jolts through his nervous system and the momentary lapse is over when his mind comes back to focus.] Ah. Thanks. Yeah... At least you have the knowledge on what's... invest-worthy.

[That isn't a word and he'd hate himself more for it if he had the focus to catch it.]

[llywelin]

[Smiling to herself, Lion leans up to mouth at his ear. The invention of a new word goes unnoticed - for the best - since only the general meaning of what he said needs to be processed. With a soft, warm laugh against his skin, Lion murmurs.] I intend on using every advantage I have. [Which, possibly in this context, sounds a little different than intended. Or maybe that's why it sounds like a promise of something else, because Lion sounds so at ease and confident, relaxed as she presses another kiss to his jaw.

Seduction isn't something she can do with the idea of it in mind.

And she shifts to press into his neck to feel it when he speaks.] You seem so surprised. But it really is so very lovely. It has its own music...

[alethiological]

[He knows she's talking about something else, that it's just a response to his comment, but the double-meaning isn't lost. Or the irony that she only gets effective at her seduction techniques when she's not even trying. It's almost amazing.

Almost. And he'd be mocking her for it until her breathing is dancing along his neck along with her words. It takes a bit of effort to pay attention to the latter over the former.] Because I am. First time I've heard that term used.

[llywelin]

[It takes her a moment to respond, aside from the obvious reasons, but because Lion just lingers on his neck. How could it be something so obvious to her and yet it's the first time he's heard it? If only she didn't need to explain it.] It's...very soothing and firm. Ah, and constant, too...like...

[An image hits her and Lion lifts her head, eyes bright. It's a moment of clarity just for him, complete focus in her earnest look.] Yes, I know exactly what it is. The waves that wash ashore in the summer. That sound is so calm but beautiful. It could be dangerous, I suppose that's true, but it doesn't need to be, nor does it need to try. The water is warmer than it looks. And your voice, like that sound, will always be familiar to me like nothing else. I want only to shut my eyes and listen forever.

[alethiological]

[Whatever feeling she was causing is shot completely by the time she's through her third sentence. Lion has never been privy to the Look he's giving her right now, because it's the look reserved for Erika when she starts demanding to roll around his coat or when she steals his pens because it's 'torture'.

Lion, please stop reading trashy romance novels. Please. The only thing worse than her saying it in the first place is that she's completely honest about it.]

... Really?
