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

Oh–

[ Even though they'd been talking cats this whole time, she somehow hadn't been expecting a cat and dinner combo. The sincere surprise on her face lights up her eyes a little in a way they usually don't – and then it turns into a smile. ]

Trust you to hunt down something like this and keep it under wraps for so long. [ She reaches out to take his hand and gives it a little squeeze. ] Have you been inside by yourself yet?

("No. You mentioned it before.") [Probably once, in passing, ages ago. But he is always listening and listening very well.] ("So I didn't want to go without you.")

[She gets a little hand squeeze in return; he's blunt at times, but it just means he's equally earnest at times like this as well.

He holds her hand as they cross the street from the park entrance to the front of the cafe and brings her inside.

[ A cat cafe? It sounds like the sort of thing she'd express interest in but she doesn't actually remember saying it. She doesn't bother to express any disbelief that he'd keep it in mind when Ryoko herself didn't – she's gotten used to him doing it so often and so casually that she's almost done being surprised by it.

Almost. The pleased little smile on her face is totally your imagination. ]


At least with it being the middle of the day, we should have it to ourselves.

[ In they go!! They are going to so transparently be the two kids skipping school to hang out here, but Ryoko doesn't care. ]

[And that they do; the server is even clearly aware of that fact judging by the expression they have when they see Morris and Ryoko enter, but they quickly put on their Customer Service Face and guide them to a booth. Maybe the hand holding softened them a bit to these kids ditching school, because he definitely held her hand the whole way until they were seated.

While he's looking at the menu, a kitty approaches. What will you do, Ryoko?
]

[personal profile] nmc0204 2022-11-14 08:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Ah, so she's officially a known troublemaker now. ... even more than she was before, anyway. At least they're being given a table instead of being chased out for their flagrant and blatant truancy. Pure brazen confidence (and hand holding) really will get you a lot of places fast, huh. ]

It's a good job we're going to explain ourselves once we get back, you know. Otherwise I don't know what excuse I'd come up with for being covered in cat hairs.

[ Said as she leans over and starts to very decisively Pet That Kitty. ]
numetal: (pic#16042470)

[personal profile] numetal 2022-11-14 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[She gets a nod as he's still browsing, but it's the movement that catches his attention as he pulls his eyes away from the menu to her and-

Ah. Kitty.

The menu drops a little as he takes one hand away from it, reaching out to try and pet the little critter too but...the cat hisses and flees them both. It leaves him sitting there with his hand hovering in the air for a moment.
]

...

[Before he just pulls it back.]

("Sorry. Animals don't like me very much. Never have. Guess I did something terrible to them in a past life.")

[Said as a joke but this is where we'd get the black and white flashback of a robot standing on a squirrel while he tried shoving a bird into a mech.]

("Not that it matters. We're here for you anyway.")

[ Hm... it's not the first time she's seen Morris have such bad luck with animals, but it feels particularly bad this time around. What's the point in coming to a cat cafe if he doesn't get to pet a single cat? ]

Come on, you can't shrink away from the cats the entire time we're here. We just need to soften them up a bit for you, that's all.

[ And going by Ryoko's voice she is not taking no for an answer. She turns in her seat, completely distracted away from the menu by the equally important task of trying to encourage one of the cats over and into her lap. ]

[personal profile] numetal 2022-11-15 06:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[This girl(friend)............

It doesn't take much effort on her part given the cats are used to random humans swinging by for a bit of attention. The nearest kitty is drawn by the movement of her hand and strolls over, rubbing its face against her hand and leaving itself open to being placed on a lap.

Morris watches the whole time but he's not really sold on the idea...although it's outweighed by the fact he trusts Ryoko right now.

[ With the comfortable ease of a seasoned Cat Enjoyer, Ryoko coaxes the cat into her lap and manages, surprisingly easily, to get it to melt into a puddle of purring and kneading on her. It's kind of hilarious how easily she manages cats compared to how legendarily terrible she is at handling actual people.

Once she's got the cat settled and half-dozing in her lap, she tips her head towards it and gives him a grin. ]


There we go. Take it slowly and give it another try.

[personal profile] numetal 2022-11-23 05:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[Can it really be that easy? After all the rotten luck he's had with animals he could never imagine himself just coaxing one into his lap like Ryoko does. Is she some kind of genius cat wrangler?

Well judging by her choice in boyfriend yeah.

But he imitates what she'd done - something he's always been very good at, kinesthetic learning turned all the way up to 11 - and he does actually manage to lure a cat over. It even accepts a few gentle...but admittedly awkward...pets.

He's done it. He's halfway there. This is the closest he's ever gotten.
]
numetal: (pic#16073606)

[personal profile] numetal 2022-11-23 05:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[But as he reaches for it, it does as the earlier cat had and flees.]

...

[..........]

("Cats are stupid anyway.")

[HE DOESN'T MEAN THAT.]
nmc0204: (ryokomangaicons010)

[personal profile] nmc0204 2022-11-25 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
... and it really seemed like it was going so well...

[ Honestly, Ryoko seems almost as disappointed about this as he is?? She was so sure they'd cracked it this time. ]

It didn't scratch you or swipe at you, at least. And you managed to pet it. Maybe that's progress?

[personal profile] numetal 2022-11-25 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
("Maybe. Like I said, it isn't a big deal.")

[And he (mostly) really means it. It was a surprise for Ryoko; he could've gone here by himself if he wanted.]

("Let's just get lunch. Escaping from school works up an appetite, doesn't it?")

[ . . . you know the way small dogs will just start to vibrate quietly with rage before actually baring their teeth, in a way that leaves no doubt as to how profoundly pissed off they are?

Anyway. ]


... you aren't supposed to raise your voice in a place like this, you know.

[He practically STOMPS over, cats scattering to avoid blocking his path. They seem to dislike Morris's stupid dad as much as Morris himself. Maybe more.]

If you didn't want me disturbing them, you shouldn't have come here.

[Looks at Morris.

Looks at Ryoko.

Looks at Morris again.
]

I've got enough on my plate with your brother, I don't need you turning disobedient on me too. We'll discuss this at home.

[Just ignoring Ryoko now lol he isn't scared of some kid]
numetal: (pic#16013844)

[personal profile] numetal 2022-11-30 05:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[ah. well.......

He briefly doesn't seem like he's going to get up, but he does of course. He is unfortunately a very obedient son.

Morris at least gives a little "i'll see you later" and a wave as he's standing by his dad's side.

[ For a second it really looks like she might be gearing up to pick a fight, despite everything, because this is Ryoko and even in a soft and fluffy high school au she really does just come pre-packaged with some degree of bloodlust. But if she kicks up a real fuss then it might just make things worse for him, so...

She dips her head in a little nod. ]


Mm. I'll see you at school.

[ Very Pointedly not even acknowledging the elephant in the room. If she can't fight him, she'll just snub him instead!!! ]
