Sweet Shippy Goodness

[ashinthebox]

 

 

Firsts:

1. First Kiss: Is there anything sweeter?


2. First Date: Are you super awkward and nervous or getting on like a house on fire?


3. First Meeting: Dropped your groceries? Bump into them on the subway? Party? Fender bender? The options are endless!


4. First Anniversary: You've made it an entire year without killing one another! Time to break open the bubbly.


5. First Pet: Dog or cat? Fish tank? Rhinoceros?


6. First House: Apartment in the city, or perfect white picket fenced home! Either way, better make the best of it.


7. What is this...Love Thing?: I don't understand love. What is love, baby don't hurt me ---


8. Love at First Sight...or, at least, Interest: Hey little mama, let me holla at you.


9. Gradual: Your interest in this person is growing after getting to know them.


10. Excitement and FREAKING OUT: Oh my gosh, there's absolutely nothing you'd rather do than spend time with this person you want everything to be perfect oh gosh oh gosh.


11. Hormonal: Girls are so weird but they look so nice.


12. Sloppy Makeouts: Put on "Stairway to Heaven" and go to town.


13. Arguments: You jerk! Look what you've done! I never want to see you again.


14. School Romance: Oh, I hope senpai notices me...or the cute class president, or the head of cooking club, or -


15. You're Like Family to Me: The two of you have been close forever, so you've never seen each other like that...until now.


16. Unlucky Friend: You lost the person of your dreams to someone else, perhaps because of their allure or perhaps because you never spoke up. What can you do now?


17. I'll Cheer You On: Always supportive, always by your side, they're the person you can count on. Why do they care so much, though?


18. Slap-Slap-Kiss: I could kill you for what you just did! I could - I could KISS YOU.


19. Confession in the Heat of the Moment: You're about to go defeat the ultimate baddie. How about confessing your feelings to the person you love? Seems legit.


20. Sudden Kiss: Kiss from nowhere! There are lots of reasons for this: to stop someone from crying, to make them be quiet, or just to explain yourself when words can't.

Sloppy Makeouts

01. roof: maybe you were given a note, or were dragged up by the person you're currently macking on. either way, you're definitely on the rooftop of some building, away from prying eyes.

02. school/office: you might be at the office, or maybe you just finished your last class for the day; regardless of where you might be, it sure isn't a good place to be making out with someone-- oops.

03. movie theater: the go-to place for most makeouts. sitting in the back or off to the side; just make sure no one catches you!

04. backstage: maybe you won tickets to a concert, perhaps you performed or they did, maybe you even snuck in! but you're backstage somewhere for something, getting hot and heavy in the dark corners.

05. public: out for a walk, having a picnic, maybe you're swimming! but regardless of where you are, it's in public.

06. home: whether you're are at your house, theirs, or someone elses, you're getting down and naughty inside a home of some design.

07. wildcard: re-roll, combine, pick your own, or make one up!

Little Steps

Talking → A relationship can't exist if there's not some communication, so either learn to use your words or become so close you can speak without them.
Spending Time → Even such mundane occurrences as watching TV or cooking together is new ground.
Touching → You might just find you enjoy reaching out and touching them.
Kissing → Another kind of touch, when you think about it.
Cuddling → ...at least they're warm and, hopefully, soft.
Sleeping → You're at your absolute weakest when you're asleep. It shows trust to doze off around this person.
Public Display → It's one thing to be in love in private, but showing you care in public is a different story.
Kind Words → Three little words (more or less) are all it takes. Why, then, are they so hard to get out?
Sex The ultimate stumbling block to some. To be laid blissfully bare is to truly let your guard down.

SLIDES ACROSS THE TABLE WITH A ROSE IN MY TEETH

[shiro2hero]

(( hey my dude whatchu feelin up for ))

OH RED SENPAI~

[mustachioedmagister]

[[Uhhhhh shit i'm trying to think of something we haven't done yet or aren't???? planning on doing soon.

SUDDEN KISS might be cute, if Shiro eventually might work up that kind of nerve???? ]

aw yea

[shiro2hero]

(( HE COULD HE WOULD given the right circumstances wink wonk - u want me to start something or?))

; )

[mustachioedmagister]

[[Could you pretty please? If only because Shiro will be doing the one doing the smoochin']

[shiro2hero]

[Some shit went down in pokemon world -- maybe it was another Rocket Attack, or maybe some kind of weather nonsense, or who knows what. Heck, maybe he just got lost in the woods again. Whatever happened, soon after it all blows over, and everyone turns up intact, he's going to head back to the room or home or whatever it is they've claimed as their space.]

[Nudging the door open with a hip and an exhausted expression. And not fully expecting anyone else to be there. Not until the sight of someone else registers, and all the adrenaline of the latest crisis just comes to a head.]

[For a second, he's standing in the door in silence, looking wrung-out, hair and clothing a mess, but... relieved. Relieved to see the other person here, the other man here, is okay. Is in one piece and still breathing.]

[Needless to say, he crosses the room in short order, reaching out to put both hands, metal and non, on Dorian's shoulders.]

Hey --

[Hopefully he'll turn. Hopefully he'll be at the right angle. Because nothing short of a brick wall is going to keep him from pulling his boyfriend, his partner, in and firmly kissing him. Right there. Without further ado. Without warning.]

[Before his brain can second-guess it.]

[mustachioedmagister]

[The chaos of the past few days had worn even Dorian down. A passerby might have thought he was still the same gallant Tevinter that he was, but there was a noticeable slump to his shoulders, and growing shadows beneath his eyes.]

[More importantly, the man was far more on edge than usual. Upon hearing the sounds of the door opening, he shifted slightly, fingers resting upon the Pokeballs in his belt. As the steps grew closer, he prepared himself to cast out his Pokeball, ready to defend himself as necessary.]

[But there wasn't an immediate shouted threat, the approaching person nothing like the enemies they'd fought through over the past few days. And as the hands clasped against his shoulders, Dorian found himself sighing in relief.]

[He'd recognize those mismatched limbs, that wonderful voice, anywhere.]

[He turned fully, mouth opening in greeting, only to meet Shiro's lips. A sigh left him, before he pressed himself into the kiss. His hands lifted, one cupping Shiro's cheek while the other threaded itself into his partner's tousled hair.]

[shiro2hero]

[Wow, he really should have chosen this moment better. He should have factored in things like tension, should have announced himself better. Because of course he feels a little bad about the sudden tension he sees gathering in those shoulders. The shift of stance.]

[He knows those too well.]

[There's not a chance, fortunately, for him to say so. Because there's a hand in his hair, there's a body pressed to his, and all he can do is hold on. Kiss back. Let the adrenaline and relief pour out of him until his muscles shake.]

[Until he has to come up for air.]

Sorry... Didn't mean to startle you.

[It comes out breathless, his forehead leaned to the other's. Not pulling away more than he has to, in order to speak.]

[mustachioedmagister]

[Breathless as he was, his chest still ached when Shiro pulled away. Even the short distance between them felt like too much. His fingers set rearranging his partner's hair, mending the damage of a chaotic few days.]

[Though there was a part of him that didn't want to break eye-contact, a much larger part sought to search for any prevalent injuries. Finding none, he clutched his boyfriend closer to him, soaking up every ounce of warmth, every rise and fall of his chest.]

Don't apologize, you fool. [A hand drifted up, confident that they'd done enough breathing for now. He pressed in close, capturing his lips in an urgent kiss. It felt like he'd forgotten so much in the past few days.]

[shiro2hero]

[The feeling of someone threading fingers in his hair will never get old. He'll never get tired of it. He's sure Dorian knows that by now, but he tilts his head into it, anyway. Blowing out a slow breath of approval.]

[No injuries on him. Nothing but a few bruises. He's had worse -- frequently. Part of him feels guilty he didn't run a similar check. But he's sure he'd know if something had gone wrong for Dorian, too.]

Fool? Is... that my name now? [He doesn't fight it, or resist. He doesn't even fluster these days, and not after what's happened. He just presses back, his hands gripping the other's waist a little more firmly.]

[mustachioedmagister]

[Shiro greatly approves. Music to his ears, as far as the Tevinter was concerned. It was true, he was slowly beginning to pick up on his partner's subtleties, able to tell when he appreciated something, even if he clammed up too much to say out loud.]

[That was what relationships were all about though, right? Growing with one another and understanding each other?]

For a few moments. I much prefer Amatus though. [Now breathless and at least somewhat satisfied, Dorian was content to rest his forehead against Shiro's and simply gaze at him fondly.]

[shiro2hero]

Are you ever going to tell me what that means?

[Though, really, he doesn't mind if he finds out or not. It's more something to say to fill the quiet. Small talk while his brain processes the fact he's still alive -- they're both in one piece.]

[That part is a little intoxicating all on its own.]

[He deliberates for half a second, which is a lot less time than usual, before forgoing thought and pulling Dorian in tighter. Face now pressed to one shoulder.]

Sorry. A little sappy here, huh?

[mustachioedmagister]

And miss out on you struggling to discern the meaning? Perish the thought.

[Dorian had no doubt that he would make it through. He'd faced down demons and ancient magisters -- what was a troubling team of bandits. Things had been difficult, and there had been close calls, but he was a resourceful man, even without his magic.]

[And he had a good team to carry him.]

[The mage's head tilted to the side, lips pressing into his hair. After pressing a few kisses against his scalp, he shifted, allowing his cheek to rest there.]

Horrifically so, I must say. But please, do continue, my darling.

[shiro2hero]

Gee, thanks...

[He can sound vaguely salty about it all he wants, but there's no real irritation here. None whatsoever. It's too much effort to be annoyed when he can just keep his head resting against a supporting shoulder. Keep arms around him. Fit to ground them both to the floor.]

[Maybe running his hand down the length of Dorian's back. As if trying to keep reassuring himself it's all there.]

You like sap now? Am I really talking to Dorian, here?
