Romance Prompts


HOW TO PLAY
  • Comment with your character and preferences.
  • Comment to others.
  • THAT'S IT YOU'RE PLAYING.

PROMPTS

  1. School Romance: Oh, I hope senpai notices me...or the cute class president, or the head of cooking club, or -
  2. Childhood Crush: You've known each other for a long time, but one of you had to leave when you were kids. Now you're back together, and the dynamic is totally different. This also often involves a "childhood marriage proposal," where the naive party promises marriage and the other takes it seriously.
  3. Love Note: The note you left the object of your affection might be a bit passive, but you can't confess face to face!
  4. 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.
  5. Tsundere: G-geez, idiot, it's not like I like you or anything! I was just worried...worried, okay? Don't make me slap you!
  6. Kuudere/Ice Queen (King): I have no interest in things like "love" or "romance." They are the least important things in this world.
  7. Yandere: You don't like me anymore? How...? Oh, that's alright. I'll make you LiKe Me.
  8. 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?
  9. Red String of Fate: That person? You know you're totally meant for them! So what if you've never talked? You have the red string of fate!
  10. 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?
  11. Harem: One guy. Lots of girls. Craziness ensues.
  12. Reverse Harem: One girl. Lots of guys. Craziness ensues.
  13. Head Patting: Apparently a great way to show you care, both for dogs and for humans.
  14. Indirect Kiss: Your lips touched that. Their lips touched that. OH MY GOD IT'S LIKE YOU KISSED.
  15. Slap-Slap-Kiss: I could kill you for what you just did! I could - I could KISS YOU.
  16. 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.
  17. Food for Thought: I made you lunch. Want to share?
  18. Repaying a Debt: You broke a vase, ruined somebody's priceless something-or-another, and now you have to be their servant until you pay it off!
  19. I'll Be Your Dog: Or you don't owe that person anything, you just wait on them hand and foot and hope they'll appreciate you one day.
  20. The Kind of ____ You Like: You want to change yourself to the type that the object of your desire wants.
  21. One-Sided Love: Sadly, still a trope here. As always, a heart will be broken. But maybe, just maybe, the love isn't unrequited. Maybe the other person isn't aware!
  22. Jerk/Sweetheart: The pairing of a stoic jackass and a manic pixie dream.
  23. Misunderstood Delinquent: You're not what you seem. You just want to give flowers to that cute girl, not run her over with your motorcycle!
  24. Fight for You: I won't lose the hand of my girl/guy to the likes of you!
  25. 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.
  26. Kiss on the Forehead: It's a sweet way to say "I love you."
  27. Physical Difference: Usually size difference - and then, it's usually big guy/tiny girl, though big girl/tiny guy is explored as well - though this is present in a lot of different ways.
  28. Class Difference: You live in a culture that is still greatly stratified by class, whether it be wealth or power structures.
  29. Oh, My Goddess!: Uh-oh, you accidentally summoned an angel/demon/alien/god/goddess. And now they're bound to you forever! But at least you can stay just friends...or something like that.
  30. Teach Me To Become Human: A robot, an alien, a god, a demon, or anything beyond our human knowledge wants to know more about our emotions - from you and your love.
  31. Single-Gender School: For all the yaoi and yuri fans out there, don your uniforms and remember that Maria is watching.
  32. The Silent Protector: In love with his/her charge, but never able to act on it.
  33. The Perfect Waifu/Husbando: They are so graceful, so lovely, so kind, you've really lucked out!
  34. To Make My Beloved Happy: You will do anything for the person you love, even if that means not being with them.
  35. WILDCARD

Sure I will. It's my fault I got hurt, so i'm not gonna complain about what it takes to get patched back up.

[ Pierce's life philosophy is that if you act tough for long enough, you'll wind up getting tougher for real. ]
summerbloom: (psophie001)

[personal profile] summerbloom 2020-04-01 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, then. But don't say I didn't warn you!

[ And true to her word, when she starts wiping the wound down, it really stings. It, uh, also kind of stinks? It's a weird sort of grassy ammonia smell with some stagnant water stench mixed in for good measure. It's gross, is what I'm saying. ]

... you shouldn't say things like that, though. Really, if it's anyone's fault you got hurt, it's mine.
secondblackmoon: (And that's why I'm awesome)

[personal profile] secondblackmoon 2020-04-01 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Clench those teeth, endure it. Why does medicine always have to be so painful? When is alchemy just gonna invent a healing salve that doesn't feel like being set on fire? ]

Fuck, you weren't kidding.

[ The stench almost distracts from the pain, in an unpleasant way. ]

...Don't go blaming yourself. I knew the danger, I accepted the job, I've had worse. If I didn't think I could handle it, I wouldn't have taken it.
summerbloom: (spr002)

[personal profile] summerbloom 2020-04-02 06:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Well... if that's the case, why don't we just agree that neither of us is to blame? You don't want me to blame myself and I definitely wouldn't want you to blame yourself. So wouldn't that be easier?

[ She corks the bottle and thankfully that horrible smell mostly subsides. With a careful touch, she then presses a cool cloth against the wound and holds it there. ]

Knowing how much worse it would've been without you, it just makes me even more glad that you decided to accept this job.
secondblackmoon: (And then I was like)

[personal profile] secondblackmoon 2020-04-02 06:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Really, if anyone's to blame, it's the monsters, and they're already dead.

[ With the cloth in place, the pain is already starting to subside. Alchemy is amazing, if you think about it. ]

It's a good thing you're an alchemist. If it was just me out here, I'd be in pretty sorry shape by the time I made it back to town.
summerbloom: (ss004)

[personal profile] summerbloom 2020-04-02 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
By the sounds of it, we make a pretty good team. Wouldn't you say?

[ It's accompanied by a giggle, but it's pretty clear by the tone of her voice that she's sincere enough about it. ]

I'm sorry I can't do much more than clean it up, though. I know enough about medicine to get by, but treating wounds is a little bit out of my wheelhouse...
secondblackmoon: (This shit again)

[personal profile] secondblackmoon 2020-04-02 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Just has to keep it from getting any worse before we're back in civilization. You're good at this stuff.

[ The secret of this conversation is the amount of energy Pierce has to dedicate to not thinking about how a cute stranger's hands are all over his back. It's strictly professional. You can do this without making it weird, Pierce. ]

...We might want to set up camp here for a while. Monster activity should die down by sunrise.
summerbloom: And each other (Little hands holding on to dear life)

[personal profile] summerbloom 2020-04-02 08:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[ At least she's pretty professional about it! Which is kind of a surprise, since you would normally not really put 'Sophie' and 'professional' in the same sentence together. ]

That's fine with me. I should have enough supplies to keep us going – eheh, and I guess this way I won't be worried about your injuries.

[ As she's talking, she slowly peels the now sodden cloth away from his shoulder. The skin's probably a little tender still, but the majority of the pain should be gone. ]

Okay! Your wound's nice and clean now. You're not allergic to any herbs, are you? I have one or two I can lay on top of the wound under the bandage to help it heal a little quicker, if you'd like me to try it.
secondblackmoon: (huh.)

[personal profile] secondblackmoon 2020-04-03 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
Not that I know of. Go for it, and stop if you see me break out into hives or anything.
summerbloom: (ss041)

[personal profile] summerbloom 2020-04-04 12:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, don't say that. Having you get sick is the last thing we need right now...

[ But she goes ahead with the herbs anyway – thin, sticky leaves from a plant back in less dangerous turf that helped knit the skin back together when laid over the wound. They'd have to be changed out with the bandages, but it wasn't that much more work in the end. ]

Right... that should just about do it. How are you feeling? If there's nothing else hurting, I can go ahead and bandage this up.
secondblackmoon: (I'm kind of a big deal)

[personal profile] secondblackmoon 2020-04-05 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
Just fine. [ Relatively. ] Whatever you put on there, it sure did the trick.
summerbloom: (an004)

[personal profile] summerbloom 2020-04-05 07:41 pm (UTC)(link)
It's amazing what you can do with the right ingredients, huh? I wish I could teach everyone how useful all the stuff around them could be, if they just knew where to look.

[ Okay, the wound's all cleaned and now would be the time to start bandaging... but, well. She was doing her best to make this not weird for poor Pierce but Sophie can't pretend this isn't at least A Little Weird. ]

Um... I'm going to bandage your shoulder now and I'll have to pass the bandage around the front and across your chest. Will that be okay?

[ This is maybe a little more double and triple-checking than she usually does when she has to treat someone's injuries, but this is an uncomfortable enough situation and the last thing she wants to do is make things more uncomfortable. ]
secondblackmoon: (Tch)

[personal profile] secondblackmoon 2020-04-05 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[Right. This part. Pierce tries grimly to suppress the blush he feels coming on, but it's not much use.]

F... Fine, do what you have to. Just don't go staring at anything you don't need to, got it?
summerbloom: (spr006)

[personal profile] summerbloom 2020-04-06 07:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Does it help at all if Sophie has gone scarlet as well???

No, probably not, huh. ]


Y–yes! Got it!

[ It's not as though she's never had to do this before and she's positive Pierce doesn't... have... anything... she's never seen before! But still. It's embarrassing, somehow.

So let's smother all that embarrassment in bandages. You know, like a reasonable person. To her credit, Sophie's actual bandaging is about as professional as you could reasonably expect in a situation like this, even if her discomfort is pretty evident. ]


Um– d–do you have any spare clothes to wear? I might be able to lend you something, just until your shirt is clean...
secondblackmoon: (So yeah)

[personal profile] secondblackmoon 2020-04-06 07:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I've got a spare shirt, at least. I don't think yours would fit me, anyway.

[ Let's let the potential implications of that observation float through the air for a second. ]

...N-Not that, uh... I didn't mean to, y'know... never mind. [ Stupid, stupid, STUPID ]
summerbloom: (ss004)

[personal profile] summerbloom 2020-04-06 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[ There's a horrendous pause that lasts for like, three silent, agonizing seconds. And then– ]

Pft–

[ Though she is very clearly doing her absolute best to retain her composure... Sophie cracks up. Like, she really cracks up. Maybe it's just relief from having that weird, awkward tension broken, but her smile's back in place and it's just a touch brighter than before. ]

N–no, no, you're probably right! I'm not really sure what I was thinking... um, but if you do have a spare, then that's good! We can wash up your other one and maybe I can even see if I can fix it...
secondblackmoon: (girls are watching)

[personal profile] secondblackmoon 2020-04-06 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Hearing Sophie crack up, Pierce finally relaxes a bit. Something about that reaction just brings the absurdity of the situation into perfect focus. ]

Man, this is weird. [ Fishing through his pack, he pulls out his other shirt and reclaims his decency at last. ]
summerbloom: (soph0001)

[personal profile] summerbloom 2020-04-08 05:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm! I won't say you're wrong. [ She's finally composed herself a bit – she's not giggling, but she's still got a smile on her face. ] It's been a while since I had to patch anybody up like that... but I guess it's a little more awkward when it's somebody you know.

[ She looks down at her hands – cleaned before and now a mess again from patching the wound – and goes back to her bag. ]

Okay... would you mind starting to set a fire up, if you can? I'll make sure my hands are clean and then I can see about making us both something to eat. I'd say we've earned it!
secondblackmoon: (sup)

[personal profile] secondblackmoon 2020-04-09 01:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure, leave the fire to me.

[ Fire! Pierce can do fire. Time to get working on that. ]

You know, if the alchemy thing doesn't work out, you would probably make a killing as a doctor.
summerbloom: (ss022)

[personal profile] summerbloom 2020-04-09 04:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[ That gets a bashful little laugh out of her as she digs into her bag for... well, anything they can toss into a pot and eat. ]

You really think? I'm definitely nowhere near as good as Teacher is, but I can help in a pinch at least. But even if it didn't work out... I think I'd still keep on going with alchemy, no matter what.
