29 February OTP Prompts

Prompt 5: Cuddling

Winnie dropped onto the couch and exhaled as faer body was consumed by the massive cushions, screaming “movie night!”

A blur of red streaked by until Winnie’s girlfriend tackled faem even deeper into the recesses of the two-seater. “Movie night!” she crowed, muffled by the fabric of Winnie’s sweater as fae laughed. 

They both finally managed to make themselves comfortable after a few minutes of trial and error. Only half a bag of popcorn spilled to the floor in the process—a new low—and neither can of Fanta had overturned, so Querída had already determined that tonight was a success.

Almost. 

“Quit digging your elbow into my rib,” Winnie whined mournfully as Querída continued to snuggle deeper onto her datemate’s body. “I know you’re practically a cat but this is actually painful.” The elbow withdrew immediately, inadverdantly knocking across the bridge of faer nose in the process.

"Sorry p-bear, I would never try to hurt you!” The freckles along her forehead shifted as her eyebrows rose in concern. “Need me to kiss it better?”

Winnie rolled faer eyes and rubbed a callused thumb across Querída’s cheek. “Babe, I love you, but you’re killing me. This is the fifth time we’ve tried to watch Iron Man all the way through and you always end up missing the beginning with all your wigglin’ and most of the middle when you fall asleep, and then you get so confused about the ending! Can we please just try this without interruptions tonight?”

Querída pouted but laid back down and draped herself across her datemate’s lap. “For you,” she muttered, “I’d do anything. Even watch a rich white guy try to save the world with metal fists.”

I rly love how emis and oceans traits are compared to each other ajsjdsjj so good

In reference to this post:

I tried to keep this brief, I really did, but it just isn’t happening so…

You sit me down

Corner seat in a crowded room

 A menu, a waiter, three exchanged smiles;

Then footsteps retreat

You lean forward slightly in your seat,

Grin lupin and mischievous

Promising:

Let me make tonight worth your while

And your teeth feel sharp

Even from this distance.

Yet notice how the cut glass stem

Shakes in your grasp–

Nerves beneath masked to most

But not I.

It is mere benevolence that leads me

Over to your high-backed chair

Come with me and do your worst.

We rise and together

Leave only your namesake at our table:

A simple bill and tip

Oh boy oh boy! Here we go!

insists that they are an awesome dancer even though they’re terrible

Shawn. He’s athletic and competitive and suave on occasion, but he has no sense of rhythm. Refiye has been dragged to far too many fiestas over the course of his short life not to know how to dance bachata and not look like an idiot doing so. Refiye is also a cheerleader and has been forcibly enrolled in dance lessons since he and his twin sister were six years old.

likes to watch reality tv

Shawn. He doesn’t really enjoy it but he enjoys the fits that his cousin and roommate Ocean will throw when he decides to watch Cutthroat Kitchen or the Amazing Race instead of a neo-noir indie film with them.

refuses to wear pants when they’re home alone

Both of them, but only Shawn gets away with it. Refiye is never alone.

is the jealous / protective one

Refiye is definitely the jealous type. He’s trying his best and he’s doing much better, but he becomes extremely possessive of the people he cares about. Shawn is more of the protective type because he sees the (comparatively) smaller Refiye as someone adorable and fragile despite all evidence to the contrary (because in the end, he’s right).

goes all out on the holidays

Refiye. Since their high school is only a few hours away from his home, he and Querída go back during all the school breaks to celebrate various festivals with their extended relatives and community members. Their mother Rosarío is a very active member of their church and always insists that her children get involved in setting up the ofrendas and singing at the posadas and the like. Shawn, on the other hand, has been struggling with his spiritual identity a lot more as of late and usually finds himself too busy to do anything special come holiday time.

cries over books

Refiye. Shawn prefers to read biographies and nonfiction, and he’s more than willing to stop reading something if it upsets him.

is terrible with kids

Shawn. He’s the youngest of his siblings and never had any younger playmates as a child. He also doesn’t really understand how to communicate with people younger than himself. Despite this, however, many children still end up falling in love with him regardless. He’s broken several hearts at the middle school down the road when some of his fangirls learned he was gay.

drinks too much caffeine

Neither of them. Refiye used to have a caffeine addiction but Rosarío eventually banned soft drinks from their house and has ways of making sure he never has access to anything stronger than green tea (since she’s afraid it will mess up his meds and everyone knows better than to question her will). Shawn sometimes drinks coffee but Ocean’s enthusiasm for the stuff keeps his interest minimal.

could sleep for twenty-four hours straight

Shawn. Living with his train wreck of a cousin has trained him to sleep through anything, and he will take every opportunity to catch some shuteye if there’s nothing else he would rather do.

never wears matching socks

Refiye because he’s a mess.

punches a tree when they’re angry

Neither of them? Refiye might punch other things but not when he’s around Querída (because she punches back).

Ask based on Make Your Character Choose #2

1. Mornings or nights?Renata is an obnoxious morning person. She’ll oftentimes wake up just before dawn and say a quick hello to Vicente as he slinks off to bed. She’s tried to get him to adjust to her schedule but not even her impressive will can change his habits.

2. Summer or winter?Summer. René hates the cold so much she only considered universities in the Southern United States. Hollywood U was the best compromise between having to deal with earthquakes and not having to deal with snow.

3. Dance or running?Renata loves dancing. She and Vicente are always spending their date nights at dance clubs and ballrooms actually. She’s currently learning how to tango and waltz from him in time for their wedding.

4. Beach or hiking?If René could live in only swimsuits, she would. The beach is her favorite place and over half of all their fights as a couple have involved Vicente refusing to go with her to sunbathe.
