okay so i got like, three books delivered this week, and in anticipation i reread another book that i had, and lads, let me tell ye, it was like quicksand. so now i have a list, some from my head, many from my wonderful friendsโ heads, of prompts that basically made us all very soft or veryย โpleasantly scandalized rich lady from the sixties who just found out a juicy bit of goss about the new neighborโ. i hope ye like them! (DO NOT ADD TO THE LIST. I WILL MAKE A PART TWO. AND THREE. AND FOUR. MANY MANY PARTS. EVENTUALLY. )
[ HAIR ]:ย ย ย ย ย sender slowly reaches out to catch a loose strand of the receiverโs hair and tuck it gently and securely back behind their ear, letting their touch linger afterwards. (if the receiver has short hair, then the sender reaches out and gently runs their fingers through their hair to smooth it back.)
[ CLOSE ]:ย ย ย ย ย while standing remarkably close to one another, the sender is unable to stop themselves from running their gaze across the receiverโs body, lingering for a moment on their lips, before returning to initiate prolonged, intense eye contact.
[ CHIN ]:ย ย ย ย ย as they stand close to one another, the sender hooks a finger and tenderly lifts the receiverโs chin, tilting it up so that they can look at one another, and running a thumb across their skin lightly.
[ THUMB ]:ย ย ย ย ย while cupping the receiverโs cheek in their hand, the sender slowly glides their thumb across their cheekbone in a tender, sweeping caress.
[ WOUND ]:ย ย ย ย ย upon noticing a recent injury on the receiverโs person, the sender carefully moves closer, running a thumb (or hand) across the wound in a gentle, troubled manner.
[ INHALE ]:ย ย ย ย ย while standing in very close quarters to the receiver, the sender shakily inhales with desire/anticipation as they realize how intimately close they are to one another.
[ DANCE ]:ย ย ย ย ย when alone together (e.g. the bedroom, the kitchen, literally anywhere once theyโre alone) the sender takes the receiverโs hand, and pulls them into a graceful yet intimate dance as a spontaneous act.
[ BARE ]:ย ย ย ย ย as they get undressed, the sender gently places a soft, tender kiss against the receiverโs bare shoulder.
[ SCAR ]:ย ย ย ย ย noticing a scar on the receiverโs skin, the sender tentatively stops them from covering it up, and rests a gentle, soft kiss over it.
[ FOREHEAD ]:ย ย ย ย ย placing a hand on the back of the receiverโs neck, the sender guides them close and rests their foreheads together.
[ PALM ]:ย ย ย ย ย taking the receiverโs hand, the sender brings it to their mouth, and places a tender kiss against the receiverโs palm.
[ LINGER ]:ย ย ย ย ย taking the receiverโs hand, the sender lifts it to their lips, and gently kisses their knuckles, lingering for a moment before withdrawing.
[ BEHIND ]:ย ย ย ย ย upon entering the same room as the receiver, the sender steps behind them, and winds their arms around the receiverโs waist, drawing them close against them.
[ WAIT ]:ย ย ย ย ย realizing the receiver is about to leave the room, the sender hastily reaches out and catches their wrist, preventing them from continuing their departure.
[ ARM ]:ย ย ย ย ย after holding their hand, the sender releases the receiver, but slowly glides their hand up the full length of their arm, lingering on the upper arm, then the shoulder, then resting their touch against the side of their neck.
[ HOLD ]:ย ย ย ย ย while close to the receiver, the sender wordlessly takes a hold of their hand, for no other purpose than to be holding it.
[ PLAY ]:ย ย ย ย ย while sitting together, the sender absently lifts the receiverโs hand, idly running their fingertips across the lines of their palms, mapping out every inch of their hand with slow, lazy touches.
[ GUIDE ]:ย ย ย ย ย in the process of guiding the receiver through a crowded place, the senderโs hand protectively grazes against the small of their back
[ TOUCH ]:ย ย ย ย ย while touching the receiverโs waist, the senderโs hand briefly dips beneath the hem of their shirt, skimming briefly across the bare skin of their waist.
[ CUP ]:ย ย ย ย ย ย bringing both hands up to cup the receiverโs face, the sender draws them in closer to them in order to get a better look at their face.
[ TUG ]:ย ย ย ย ย the sender tugs the receiver close against them by resting a hand against the small of their back, pulling them flush against their body.
[ HUSH ]:ย ย ย ย ย while standing close to one another and hiding from pursuers, the sender reaches up and places a finger against the receiverโs lips to prevent them from speaking and revealing their location.
[ WRAP ]: when sitting astride a horse/motorcycle/etc. together, the sender reaches back, takes the receiverโs wrists, and gently pulls their arms around the senderโs waist in an embrace designed to keep the receiver safe, despite feeling remarkably intimate.
