PROMPTS FOR EX LOVERS *  assorted awkward dialogue, adjust as necessary

i didn't think you came to this place anymore!

well, this just got awkward.

is that your new girlfriend?

fancy running into you here.

i was never good enough for you.

been a long time since i last saw you.

you left this at my place. thought i'd bring it over.

so... can we talk?

i've moved on from you.

you haven't changed a bit.

you're still the asshole i once knew.

can we not do this here?

life's been hard without you.

i think we can work it out.

i'm still in love with you.

we were never meant to be.

i can't believe i used to date you.

do you have a second to talk?

seriously? out of all the things to talk about?

at least we tried to make it work.

you never gave me back my things.

is that your new boyfriend?

i really don't need this right now.

we didn't part ways on very good terms.

i'd like to apologize for how i acted.

it was good to have some time apart.

you should probably go.

somehow i'm managing.

i'm not sticking around to find out.

you look... good.

can we not do this in front of them?

i still think about you all the time.

you changed your hair.

don't you dare try and blame me for that.

is that your new partner?

i deserve an apology.

this is a little awkward, i have to admit.

i was hoping i'd see you again.

you two make a cute couple.

i don't love you anymore.

i never gave up on us.

you were never there for me.

when i needed you most, you were gone.

i'll never forgive you for what you did.

we're never getting back together.

let's sit at our old table.

of course i still know your order.

i never want to see you again.

how've you been since we last spoke?

a lot of things have happened since we broke up.

do you ever think about what happened between us?

there are a lot of things i wish i could take back.

i never should have said those things.

i missed that smile of yours.

you deserved better than that, you know.

i was never good for you.

we never would have worked out, anyway.

we make better friends.

was the sex was good, at least?

you look really good. i'm happy for you.

i never like how it ended between us.

i'll regret saying this, but i still have love for you.

i'm leaving. don't follow me.

you're wearing the perfume i bought you.

no hard feelings, i swear.

you look happy with them.

we just couldn't make it. that's okay.

can i buy you a drink? for old times' sake?

what are you doing later?

are you seeing someone new?

i knew you'd be dating them.

this reminds me of the night we met.

you shouldn't talk like that.

don't flirt with me.

it's been a while since we broke up.

i wish you'd just go.

if i stay, it'll just make things awkward.

you needed me, and i failed you.

how long did it take you to find someone new?

i was a lousy partner.

i was so focused on myself that i didn't realize you were suffering.

breaking up with you was the worst decision i ever made.

i'd like to start seeing you again.

let's try again. see what happens.

will you give me another chance?

try to see it my way.

can we take this outside?

before you ask, no, i'm not sleeping with anyone.

i actually enjoy being single.

i need some time to work on myself before i start dating again.

It was amazing how easily a genuine laugh had been drawn out of her even in the midst of a storm. Her lifelong phobia typically left her a nervous wreck especially when caught in the middle of a thunderstorm, but something about sitting in the truck with JJ, shrouded in the haze of what they were smoking and an overall feeling of lightness to the air gave her a sense of safety and comfort she was unfamiliar with. Lily laughed effortlessly with JJ, the laughter only dwindling once she felt his hand rest against her thigh, her gaze following his movements and lingering just as his hand did. Though her laughter had died out, the remnants of a dazed smile still remained on her lips as she tried to recall her train of thought. "I... I don't remember," she confessed with another laugh as her eyes finally lifted to meet his once more. Lips pressed firmly together for a moment as she tried to hide the sudden feeling of giddiness she felt bubbling within her, and she made no effort to move his hand from her leg as she leaned over to steal the joint back from his other hand. Lily lingered near him for a moment as she took another hit before leaning back into her seat once more as she released it. "Sorry for startling you," she apologized once more as she offered an explanation, "I've had a uh– a thing about storms ever since I was a kid. Never liked 'em."

[maysbank]

despite experiencing the shock of his life, he was grateful for the thunderstorm that sounded around them. that the surge of electricity that filled every confined space inside of his truck could be put down to the lightning; that it could be passed off as something other than pure chemistry between them. john jacob could feel it in every hair that stood on end, felt it in the heart that was thudding so hard that without the noise around them; he was sure that @lilyspaintedred could hear it. and god, in spite of the foolishness john jacob felt at being so unwillingly undone by this girl, he couldn't deny that this was the first time he'd felt alive since he was fifteen years old at the chateau in the outer banks. those days had felt so behind him, so unreachable in the life he'd found himself in since. the space inside of this truck felt like magic. she was magic.

the simper that lingered upon his lips when she gazed at him, confessing that she'd lost his train of thought was nothing short of wonder. it betrayed every inch of bravado he'd put on since they'd met; every shield wall he had put up in order to keep her from seeing anything real. john jacob was intoxicated with the feeling of being seen. that someone with as much light inside of her regardless of the horrors past, could see him; it left him in awe. in spite of himself, he squeezed his hand against her thigh as the joint was plucked from his possession; fingertips grazing slowly as he moved it back into his own lap.

god, it was near impossible not to damn it all to hell and lean in closer, capture her lips between his own. he was staring as she apologised, as she confessed her aversion to thunderstorms. " 's 'at right? " john jacob drawled, using all his willpower to divert his gaze from her lips up to the green of her eyes. " i ain't a stranger to no storm, 's kinda beautiful if you really look at it. . . 'side from the noise 'n all. " he shrugged, pointer finger circling next to his head in reference to the storm that still surged outside. the circling quickly morphed into waggling his fingertips subtly, reaching to take the joint back for himself. john jacob took a deep inhale before realising it was a hit from being finished. " lady gets the last draw, " he said quietly, leaning back toward her with a twinkle of mischief and wanting in his gaze, the sliver of smoke wafting between their faces.

REASONS TO CUP A FACE. ( A PROMPT LIST. )

with the help of some very talented and amazing friends, i present to you an unexpected, very spontaneous meme list based on the beautiful art of cupping someone's face! there's a mix of romantic and platonic here, and even a few that defy the boundaries of normal relationship dynamics! i hope you enjoy! as always; DO NOT ADD TO THIS LIST NOR CLAIM IT AS YOUR OWN!

[KISS]: sender cups the receivers face in their hands before drawing them closer for a kiss.

[CHECK]: after an unexpectedly violent situation, sender frantically rushes to check if the receiver is okay, cupping their face to look closer.

[CLEAN]: sender affectionately wipes a smudge of sauce from the corner of the receiver's mouth, cupping their face in the process.

[LIFT]: sender gently cups the receiver's face and lifts their chin so the receiver is looking up at them.

[COMFORT]: sender cups a distressed receiver's face in their hands and steadies them by resting their foreheads together.

[ATTENTION]: during an important conversation, the sender takes the receiver's face in their hands and firmly directs their focus on them.

[MAKE-UP]: while applying make-up on the receiver's face, the sender cups their face in order to keep them still.

[PRIDE]: after the receiver succeeds in a remarkable achievement, the sender cups their face and tilts their foreheads together to express how proud they are of them.

[WHISPER]: in order to have a private, hushed conversation with the receiver, the sender cups their face and draws them close to make sure they can be heard.

[HAIR]: in the process of pushing the receiver's hair back from their face, the sender lets their hand rest against the receiver's cheek a moment longer.

[GROUND]: during a moment of intense emotional stress, the sender gently takes the receiver's face in their hands to ground them until they're calmer again.

[WONDER]: unable to comprehend how incredible the receiver is, the sender decides to simply cup their face in their hands and marvel at them instead.

[LAST LOOK]: before going into a situation that may result in their death, the sender takes a moment to cup the unaware receiver's face in their hand, just to take a final look of admiration at them before they go.

[SACRIFICE]: the sender cups the receiver's face tenderly to distract them, right before shoving them out of the way (to safety) and facing an attack alone in order to buy the receiver enough time to escape.

[BELIEF]: in a moment where the receiver is lacking in self-confidence, the sender cups their face tenderly and professes their faith in the receiver's abilities.

[DISBELIEF]: after the receiver has done something completely unexpected (and reckless) the stunned sender cups their face in their hands while trying to get them to explain why the hell they did it.

[BETRAYAL]: trying to keep the receiver calm before the big reveal, the sender cups their face gently to keep them steady, and then reveals that they're the villain.

[WOUND]: after the receiver has been wounded, the sender tries to keep them calm and conscious by cupping their face in their hands and talking to them to keep them focused.

[INJURY]: after having been badly wounded themselves, the sender tries to reassure the frantic receiver by cupping their face and comforting them.

[RAMSAY]: after the receiver commits a culinary crime, the sender presses two slices of bread against either side of their face, cupping their face to hold the bread in place, and calls them an idiot sandwich.

My  muse  runs  their  fingers  along  your  muse’s  wrist  absentmindedly,  tracing  slow,  lazy  circles.

My  muse  leans  in,  their  breath  warm  against  your  muse’s  skin  as  they  whisper,  “You’re  enjoying  this,  aren’t  you?”

My  muse  grabs  your  muse’s  waist  to  steady  them,  but  doesn’t  move  away  immediately.

My  muse  catches  your  muse  staring  and  smirks,  tilting  their  head.  “See  something  you  like?”

My  muse  playfully  tugs  your  muse’s  necklace/tie/collar,  pulling  them  just  a  little  closer.

My  muse  brushes  their  lips  against  your  muse’s  ear  as  they  murmur  something  just  for  them.

My  muse  traps  your  muse  against  a  wall,  eyes  dark  with  something  unreadable.

My  muse  challenges  your  muse  to  a  game,  but  the  stakes  are…  interesting..

My  muse  stops  your  muse  in  a  dark  hallway,  their  voice  barely  above  a  whisper.  “If  anyone  sees  us—”

My  muse  shoves  your  muse  against  a  wall,  breathing  heavily.  “Tell  me  to  stop,  and  I  will.”

My  muse  lingers  at  your  muse’s  door,  knowing  they  shouldn’t  be  here.  “One  last  time.  That’s  all.”

My  muse  runs  a  hand  down  your  muse’s  arm  before  pulling  away.  “We  can’t  keep  doing  this…  but  I  don’t  want  to  stop.”

My  muse  is  forced  to  work  with  your  muse,  pretending  there’s  nothing  between  them.

My  muse  warns  your  muse  to  stay  away,  but  the  way  they  look  at  them  says  otherwise.

My  muse  kisses  your  muse  in  the  shadows,  knowing  full  well  what  it  would  cost  them  if  they  were  caught.

j does this look like a bump to you or am i just bloated?

he hesitates for a moment, mouth opening only to close again. john jacob's lips purse tightly; a tilt of the head following, whilst a closed fist is held up as if to symbolise his ponderance. he feels as though this is one of those questions that women ask and no matter the answer: it's the wrong one. he squints a little at lily's stomach, tongue pressing against his bottom teeth with a hum. " well, see the way i look at it is that the bloating is 'cause 'o the baby, so it's a bump in my book, " he answers, knuckle of his pointer finger brushing against the tip of his nose. there's an anxiety jittering inside of his person, emanated in the way he shuffles from one foot to the other awaiting her reaction.

PROMPTS FOR THE ROMANCE OF BANTER, PLAYFUL SARCASM, AND USING JOKES TO HIDE HOW YOU REALLY FEEL ABOUT THEM *  assorted dialogue, some of which have some implied sarcasm built in (so just feel free to specify with "/s" at the end of each line), adjust as necessary

admit it. you're in love with me.

if only i had someone to go out with...

a date would be really nice right about now.

i might reconsider if you bring me flowers.

were you being serious back there?

did you just try to impress me?

was that another joke, or were you telling the truth?

we agreed that if no one asked us, we'd go together.

keep telling yourself that!

here it comes! the big love confession i've been waiting for!

you've been in love with me since the day we met.

you visited me in my dreams last night.

i know you're in love with me. you just won't say it outloud.

we can't hide this forever.

don't make me beg.

if you weren't so cute, you'd be annoying.

you're not very good at hiding how you feel.

you've been staring at me for a long time now.

is that what you really think of me?

you have feelings for me. admit it.

so what if i've been lying this whole time? for good reason!

you don't make this whole love thing any easier.

you make life difficult.

you're a piece of work.

is that how you really feel?

you're lucky you're so cute.

you're not really going out with them, are you?

i thought we... nevermind.

consider me impressed.

am i annoying you right now?

you didn't like that comment, huh.

i was only kidding!

you wish we were kissing right now.

oh, you'd just love to hear me beg.

i love our little back and forth.

sooner or later we'll have to come clean about how we feel.

i'm not good at hiding my emotions.

when were you going to tell me you were in love with me?

i actually hate your guts.

keep talking like that and you'll see how i really feel.

can your head get any bigger?

was that a joke?

were you just playing with me?

you didn't actually mean that, right?

hang on. you didn't just say that.

that was a joke, right?

this is just how we are when we're together.

i tease you, you tease me.

you and i have always been like this.

if i'm not annoying you, what's the point?

i'm allergic to tickling.

they said we'd make a cute couple. can you believe that?

are you always this annoying?

if i kiss you, will you turn into a prince? yes, i'm implying you're a frog.

you're lucky i love you so much.

you take that back!

that was uncalled for!

this means war!

this calls for a duel!

i'm challenging you to an arm wrestle.

last one there is a rotten egg!

i'm not racing you!

stop looking at me like that.

you stare at me a lot.

i know, i know. i'm irresistable.

something on my face?

a little bird told me you're in love with me.

prove me wrong.
