List of “so when did the lines blur?” prompts
1 —
“So do you like me or what?” “Maybe, maybe not. I’ll let you know tomorrow when I’m not so drunk.”
2 —
Character B gently placing their hand on Character A’s back and pulling them closer while they kiss — sweet, soft, gentle, almost like “I’ve got you — we don’t have to rush this.” Character A’s hand is placed gently on Character B’s cheek, keeping them close; letting their lips do the talking. (Well fuck me I guess why do I always get myself into some shit)
3 —
Playful banter keeps happening between the two, lasting for an hour — careful of not doing too much and spilling over into a territory they’re both unsure if they’re ready to handle yet; enjoying the soft push and pull.
4 —
“I’m sorry about last night. I don’t regret what happened but I’m also sorry for putting you in an uncomfortable situation.” “Hey, that’s… Honestly okay. It wasn’t uncomfortable and I don’t regret it either.” (Not verbatim but fuck ME, WDYM you don’t regret it either??? Spoiler we kissed, that's what happened)
5 —
“I have more important things to spend my money on.” “Like me?” “Umm.. are you trying to say you’re important enough for me to spend money on?” “Uhh, yes.” (Stared at my phone for a few seconds at what he said because not him implying he’s important to me???)
6 —
“So like… Do you like me? Just in general.” “Yeah, you’re… You’re cool.”
7 —
“Fuck, there’s something I wanna say but I just can’t.. I can’t find the words to say it.” (Not verbatim but in my head I was like… are you trying to confess lmao).
8 —
“You’re the last person I would have thought…” “You would have thought what?” “…Never mind. I can’t… I don’t think I can bring myself to say it.”
9 —
Character A cuddling Character B and Character B turning their body to properly hold Character A closer to them, gentle as they are, and Character A swallows, heart beating just a bit faster against their chest but not wanting to admit this is affecting them in any way. (I’m easily swayed okay leave me alone)
10 —
Character A looking at Character B and the first thought that seeps into their fuddled mind is “They’re so attractive.” The thought hits them a bit harder than usual because they’ve never thought of Character B that way but right now, right here, on the fence of drunkenness and still being aware, they find Character B of all people attractive — and with that comes a soft sense of longing, chiming gently in the back of their head but not urgent enough for them to want to do anything about it or act on it… Yet. (I’m cooked beyond repair lmfao)

huddling for warmth (sharing a blanket?)
trapped somewhere (a cell, a cave, an island…)
squeezed against one another in a busy bus / subway
hiding & squeezing into the same hiding spot
squished in the back of the car (or trunk if the car is truly too full)
only one tool, book, or similar, that they have to share
squeezing under an umbrella or a small roof when it rains
forced to share a hotel room / apartment /dorm room
one is scared and latches onto the other’s arm, refusing to let go
“Why are you so goddamn big?” “Bold words for someone whose neck is so in reach for me right now.”
“How much longer you think we’re gonna be stuck here?
“Move!” “You move!”
“Oh, sorry, was that your…” “Yeah, um, no problem. Wait, I’ll try to move…”
“Stop moving so much!”
“This is so awkward.” “Only if you make it awkward.”
“I never realised how small/big/tall/short/… you are.”
“I can’t breathe…” “As someone currently pressed up against your chest, I can hear you breathing just fine.”
List of “please don’t leave me alone” prompts
Using bodies to distract themselves from the fact that they don’t have someone to call their forever; that they aren’t worthy of anything more than just a one night stand or a casual fling.
Lying awake in the dark for the nth time, alone once again, the creeping dread of being alone forever eating away at them; the space next to them empty like it always ends up.
Finding someone and latching onto them for as long as they can, only to be left heartbroken, thoughts of things being this way forever so, so scary; wanting to believe they deserve love but perhaps they don’t and it’s something they have to be okay with.
Hope at this point becomes false hope, because it’s starting to feel like they’re the reason no one wants to stay.
“Am I not enough of a reason for you to want to stay?” they would wonder on nights when nothing could distract them from their looming thoughts.
So when someone else comes along, they try to sabotage it because they think it wouldn’t work out anyway. As much as they like them, there’s a part of them that’s scared things won’t last, and they aren’t ready for another crushing disappointment.
Numbness is a self-defence mechanism at this point, and it’s quite clear to the both of them that that’s the case.
That person doesn’t leave, though. Not even when they’re being difficult as fuck. They go through many talks, and as frustrated as they are with them at times, they are very firm when they tell them they aren’t gonna leave and will be here for them through thick and thin; that they’re someone they do not want to lose.
Tears streaming down their face when they realise they’ve finally found someone who doesn’t want to lose them; that they’re worthy of unconditional love, as flawed as they are.
“You’re the first person to have ever told me that,” they whisper, voice thick with tears, as the other person holds them while they cry.

Dating Things
❥ Restaurant: picking them up so they can have wine, bringing a bouquet of flowers, googling under the table what the fancy dishes are, taking their hand from across the table, tasting the other's dish, bickering over who pays, holding the door open, fighting over who gets to pay
❥ Park: picnic, going for a walk, watching the ducks in the pond, sitting in the sun, taking a boat ride on the lake, rollerskating / skateboarding, putting their jacket down to let the other sit on the damp grass, running for cover when it rains, sharing ice cream, talking until the sun goes down and the street lamps come on
❥ Arcade: discovering a competetive streak, letting the other win, losing track of time, sharing shitty, cheap food and loving it, taking candids of the other having fun, showing off a hidden talent, trying to trick the games
❥ Night In: board games, building a blanket fort, cooking together, movie night, going through old photo albums, binging a tv show, sharing a blanket, reading together, private dances in the kitchen, discovering little quirks about the other's home, falling asleep on the couch
❥ Museum: interactive exhibits, trying to find interpretations for abstract art, shushing each other when they laugh too loudly, claiming which painting they easily could have done themselves, describing the higher up artwork to the one who forgot their glasses, buying postcards of their favorite art at the giftshop after
❥ Clubbing: dressing up fancy and matching, karaoke, bar food beforehand, discovering the other's (in)ability to dance, guiding the other through the crowd, hand in hand, kisses interrupted by drunken stumbling, drunken walks home, passing out in clubbing outfits
❥ Beach: falling asleep while tanning, bonfire, sneaking glances at them, getting knocked over by waves, beach bars, watching the sunset, collecting pretty rocks and shells, holding onto each other in rough surf
kiss prompts that make the room spin a little
these are just dialogue, i'll make a scenario version if you guys want!! lmk favs, enjoy :)
"you talk a lot..."
"you're cute when you're jealous."
"yeah?" (teasing or sincere tone, leaning in) "yeah." (sincere!!! or sarcasm)
"fuck it." - this one gets me every time HELLO
"show me what you want."
"i missed you." + a smile
a breathless, barely audible "please" & the wordless answer (a kiss mls)
"i thought you said you don't get flustered." - they earn a blush in response. then they laugh. and boom.
"don't look at me like that!"
"yes, ma'am" as they lean in. (you could use sir, too.)
"we shouldn't be doing this."
"oh yeah?"
"shut up."
"i can't pretend anymore." - first kiss. think yearning
“kill your curiosity. kiss me”
List of “I could have been yours; it could have been us” prompts
1 —
Lingering touches and gazes from Character A, and Character B having to pull and look away; a sharp reminder for Character A that they shouldn’t be doing this anymore.
2 —
Character A snatching their hand away when Character B tries to even brush against it, shooting them the most ‘don’t you dare’ look Character B’s ever come across—and it’s not the usual teasing ones they used to exchange a long time ago. It’s one which harnesses unforgiving resentment and frustration, with a mix of hurt; tying it all into one, painful realisation for Character B that there’s nothing for them to salvage any more.
3 —
“Why would you even try to do that when you know I’m with someone else and they happen to be right the fuck there?” Character A questions, voice lowered in a furious sounding hushed whisper.
Character B offers a pathetic sigh, fingers raking through their hair, mind running amok, trying to grasp at words and explain even half of their behaviour without blowing things up even more. “I wasn’t trying anything, I just— I didn’t know how to stop myself from doing something that’s been ingrained into me like a habit of sorts for so long.”
“It’s been months, [insert Character B’s name]. Months.” Character A’s eyes are staring into theirs, sharp and unforgiving, but there’s a hint of… something in there Character B is deluding themselves into thinking as desperation. Desperation for what, they’re not sure. But perhaps it’s a desperation for an answer even Character B doesn’t hold.
Fingers tangling together and eyes averting away from Character A, Character B shrugs, miserable. “You know it takes more than just months for me to get rid of a bad habit. You knew that more than anyone else.”
4 —
Character A feeling a sharp pang in their chest when they catch eyes with Character B from across the room and seeing them hold their new partner so gently—just like how they used to hold them.
5 —
“How selfish can you be to tell me you’ve loved me all this time after I finally found peace and someone else who deserved my love more?”
“I think you and I both know you’re never going to love someone as much as you did me; as much as you do me.”
6 —
“I may not have been perfect, but I always chose you. And I always chose you over me. And maybe if you weren’t such a coward, I’d still be doing that. But you lost that the moment you made me realise you choosing me has always been a conditional thing.”
7 —
“You know, I think I just realised… you never looked at me like that until after you lost me. And I always yearned to be looked at that way by you. And I sometimes hate that I still do, even though there’s the added thought of I wish you wouldn’t.”
8 —
When they brush hands and let the touch linger, instead of pulling away, even though they both know they shouldn’t be letting this happen. Worse, it’s paired with the soft glances they used to have reserved for each other only, but now there’s an underlying tinge of pain in that softness.
9 —
“Are you… happy with them?” Character A asks, voice soft, words hesitant.
There’s a lingering sort of silence, a tense pause, before Character B answers, hesitancy matched, “I think I am.”
10 —
“It was never going to be us. But there was once a upon a time when I did believe it was always going to be us.”

the art of the first kiss: a prompt list!
let's pretend i didn't start writing this three months ago... i tried to make this extra long to make up for my hiatus :)
also, happy pride, everyone!
"am i reading this wrong?" said in a low tone, for only the other to hear
"i saw you looking at my lips," said teasingly, to gauge the other's reaction
the fraction of a second where their faces are just close: lips ghosting each other's, taking this moment in, almost waiting for one to give in first
in the middle of a heated conversation
an emotionally charged embrace, pulling away and realizing how close their faces are, and leaning in
one brushing hair out of the other's face, the featherlight touch (or any light touch tbh)
a simple "can i?"/"can i kiss you?" because consent is important!
"can we stop pretending?"
a barely audible, "come here"
one is concerned for the other (physical injury, emotional conflict, etc), and they respond with "you always make sure i'm okay," maybe a "why?" then the air changes
"show me what you want."
one leans in and pauses, to which the other responds with some grounding gesture (a touch/"please"/a slight nod/etc) to communicate their own desire
orrr they lean in, slightly panic, and move back, to which the other pulls them in (lightly) by their arm/coat/collar/cheek/belt loops/etc
"you talk a lot." while the other is mid ramble
"you have no idea how long i've wanted to do this"
the first kiss being messy and impassioned, then the second being softer and more familiar, as though their minds are catching up with reality
"you really can't see it, can you?"
the energy shifting right as one openly glances at the other's lips
(and maybe a laugh, "what?" as the other person does this)
submit to my "ask" box if there is anything you want to see OR anything you want to share! i'm trying to respond to more asks and post more than once every three months (oops)
List of “my guards are down in a way I never thought they would be, and that scares the shit out of me” prompts
Requested by: getyoursorryasstomine
Request: Hey Jo! Hope you’re doing well! If you’re taking prompt requests, can you make some where character a (a more guarded person) feels their walls coming down around character b and it scares them?
(I’m so sorry for being a year late on this, I have not been fulfilling any requests for a LONG while simply because I lost the drive for writing prompts in general and it hasn’t fully come back yet)
1 —
Character A’s in the middle of telling Character B about something they’ve never told anyone else before, when they suddenly come to a halt and go, “Wait, but why am I okay with telling you this even though I swore to myself I’d never let anyone know about this?”
2 —
Character A having an internal meltdown when they realise their guards are slowly lowering for Character B, terrified of being hurt again. But Character B has never given them a reason to doubt them.
3 —
“But what if they end up being someone I can’t trust? What do I do then?”
4 —
“I genuinely thought I’d never trust anyone again but here we are.”
5 —
Slowly over time, Character A starts to realise just how much they’ve changed—how much more they’re willing to let Character B in than at the start.
6 —
“What if you’re not the right person to trust?”
“Then I’ll do everything I can to make sure you know I am the right person to trust—through and through.”
7 —
Vulnerability has never been Character A’s strongest suit, but doing this with Character B—being vulnerable with them is almost as easy as breathing, and that feels equally terrifying as it is freeing.
8 —
“You make it so easy for me to just… be me when around you. I kind of hate it.”
“You only hate it because you’ve never done this before. No one gave you that safe space before, and I'll gladly be that safe space if you'd allow me.”
9 —
“You know it’s okay to be yourself around me, right?”
“I know, I just… There are days when I find that so hard to do, even when around you.”
10 —
It’s in the little moments which reveals how much Character A is okay with Character B receiving parts of them they would not give to other people.

types of kisses
RELIEVED after worrying about the other, cupping their face, pulling back to gaze into their eyes, “you okay?”
WANDERING, leaving hickeys, looking up to watch their reaction, worshipping their body, nipping their skin, pressing them back down, biting gently
SLOPPY, lazily drunk, groaning, ruining make up,
SOFT, several in quick succession, cradeling their head, arms around wait, reassuring, morphing into a hug
PLAYFUL, in between giggles, nipping the other’s lips, pulling away and leaning back in
CASUAL, upon meeting or separating, when entering a room, just because, on the cheek or forehead or hand, from behind while getting ready and watching in the mirror
DESPERATE, stumbling across the room, pressing against one another while pulling clothes off, gasping into the other’s mouth, teeth accidentally clashing, eventually wandering downwards
ANONYMOUS, in a club, not knowing the other’s name, back to the wall, gasping, hands wandering, “wanna get out of here?”
[Prompt Calender: February 13th, Kiss Day]
tropes i eat up every. damn. time.
these are mostly confessions but do with that what you will :)
taking a walk/ending up in a private space (i.e., a balcony) to escape a party, realizing that there's more to the other person than you previously thought
when they're silent, together. just appreciating each other's presence - esp if they're absentmindedly playing with the hem of the other's shirt, or something of theirs (like running their hands through the other's hair)
any sort of coming-of-age/ya piece of media where they have one last night to go wild before graduating/moving on
that moment where one realizes that they're in love with the other bc of something small/ordinary they did
one drove across town to see the other and they're breathless and when they get to the door all they can do is smile and softly say "hey." when the other opens it. jesus.
one drunkenly confesses their feelings to the other (completely sober) one and totally forgets about it

✦ 56 — "I can't keep doing this. I can't keep pretending we're just friends when every part of me wants more."
✦ 57 — "We keep dancing around this and I'm tired! I love you. There. Now what are you going to do about it?"
✦ 58 — "I don't need space. I need you to stop being a coward and admit what we both know."
✦ 59 — "Stop making excuses! Every reason you have not to try—I've thought of it. I don't care."
✦ 60 — "You keep telling me it's complicated. It's not. I love you. That's simple."
✦ 61 — "Don't you get it? I would do anything for you. Anything. That's terrifying."
✦ 62 — "Every song is about you. Every poem. Every thought. I'm losing my mind."
✦ 63 — "I've been trying to find the right moment for months. There is no right moment. So here—in the middle of this fight—I love you."
✦ 64 — "I didn't come here to argue. I came here to tell you I love you before I lose my nerve."
✦ 65 — "I couldn't say it gently. I couldn't say it calmly. So I'm saying it like this—I love you."
✦ 66 — "I didn't plan on loving you. You weren't part of my plan. But here we are."
✦ 67 — "There is no moving on from you. I've tried. Trust me, I've tried."
✦ 68 — "I'm not drunk enough for this. Or maybe I'm too drunk. Either way—I love you and it's your fault."
✦ 69 — "I've tried being your friend. I've tried being nothing. Neither works when I'm in love with you."
✦ 70 — "You think I wanted to fall for you? Of all people? You?"
✦ 71 — "You're infuriating and stubborn and completely wrong for me and I love you anyway!"
✦ 72 — "I'm done being careful. I'm done being smart. I love you."
✦ 73 — "I'm not perfect. God knows I'm not. But I love you perfectly."
✦ 74 — "This isn't a crush. This isn't infatuation. I know what those feel like. This is so much worse."
✦ 75 — "You want honesty? Fine. You are the one person I can’t be rational about."
✦ 76 — “Why do you always have to make everything so—so—impossible and—oh. Oh my God, I’m in love with you.”
✦ 77 — “We wouldn’t be yelling like this if I didn’t care! People don’t scream over strangers they don’t love!”
✦ 78 — “I’m not babysitting you, I’m— I’m in love with you, okay? Happy now?”
✦ 79 — “If something happened to you, I’d— I’d fall apart, okay? Is that what you wanted to hear?”
✦ 80 — “Yes, I panicked! You weren’t answering your phone and I— I can’t lose you.”
✦ 81 — “No, I didn’t do it to be nice. I did it because I’m stupidly, hopelessly in love with you.”
✦ 82 — “You can’t keep throwing yourself into danger and then be surprised I’m furious about it!”
✦ 83 — “I would rather have you hate me and be safe than smile at me from a hospital bed.”
✦ 84 — “You don’t get to pretend that didn’t almost happen. I felt you lean in.”
✦ 85 — “I’m not mad at you. I’m mad at me for falling for someone I was never supposed to have.”
✦ 86 — “I knew better. I knew this would hurt. I still let myself love you.”
✦ 87 — “I keep telling myself I’ll stop. I never do. I don’t know how to stop loving you.”
✦ 88 — “I don’t care who hears. I love you, and I’m tired of pretending I don’t.”
✦ 89 — “Everyone already knows. They’ve known for ages. You’re the only one who keeps pretending you don’t see it.”
✦ 90 — “Stop talking. Just stop talking before I say something that changes everything between us.”
✦ 91 — “Make me leave. Go ahead. Look me in the eye and tell me to go, and I will. But you have to mean it.”
✦ 92 — “It’s not a crush! A crush goes away! This? This is consuming me!”
✦ 93 — “You want to know my secret? You. You are the secret. You’re the reason for everything.”
✦ 94 — “I’m angry because you made me feel alive again, and now I have something to lose.”
✦ 95 — “I am not asking for your permission to love you. I’m telling you that I do.”
✦ 96 — “I swore I’d never let anyone have this kind of hold on me again. Congratulations, you ruined my streak.”
✦ 97 — “I swore I’d never let anyone have this kind of hold on me again. Congratulations, you ruined my streak.”
✦ 98 — “You’re blind! You’re looking for love everywhere else when it’s standing right in front of you screaming!”

Something neuroscience-y that helps with prose: attention is selective. A character will not notice everything in a room. They will notice what matters to their goal, fear, desire, training, wound, or obsession. A jealous character notices hands. a hungry character notices food. A soldier notices exits. A lonely character notices pairs. Description becomes character when attention has a bias.
