KISSING DAY

KISSING DAY

RULES

• Kissing Day is the day before the summer solstice! It's considered good luck to get kissed today, and bad luck and a year of loneliness if you don't get a kiss, or if the object of your affection refuses a kiss from you.


• The melodrama of what it means if you don't get the right kiss can vary, so feel free to have your characters be incredibly melodramatic or extremely exasperated over this superstition.


• Simply comment with your character's name and form below, and then respond to others who have posted their characters!


• Some students may be under the impression that more kissing = more luck. Will anything special happen if you collect the most kisses? (... probably not, but you'll sure feel loved.)

Name:
Receptiveness: Is your character soliciting kisses? Actively avoiding them? Only accepting them from select people? Do they need to be harangued into participating? Are they losing it because if their crush doesn't kiss them they're going to die alone???

Diego & Ravi

[indiefolk]

"Yes!" Diego answers too quickly and looks up at Ravi like he's been caught. Diego's never very hard to read, and he already feels exposed. He clears his throat and tries to sound more level than he feels. "It's, uh, you know. Whatever." Diego falls back on the nonsense words he had picked up at Gooseberry. Ofelia still scolds him every time he says whatever, like it's a curse word. He uses no-maj-y slang less and less when he's mirroring Ravi's formal speech pattern.

"I used to be really easy," he finally says, aiming for casual, landing in ashamed.

That's... not what Ravi was expecting. He looks surprised, and squeezes Diego's hand, stumped for an easy response. Ravi's asked about this before. He tried to make it a casual question. Do you miss it? And Diego had pulled him close and said he'd rather have someone he could depend on. Now Ravi thinks of the future, and the whole two years he won't be nearby or dependable at all.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to imply... I wasn't trying to imply anything. Honest." He wants to move closer, maybe kiss him or put his head on Diego's shoulder, but they're sitting in plain sight of everyone. Ravi's embarrassingly prim modesty strikes again. So he just keeps holding Diego's hand. "What are you worried about?"

"No, I know, I promise." Diego exhales... and then goes right back to holding his breath as he tries to work out what to say next. The time to feel guilty or dirty has long since passed, but sometimes those fears are dredged back up. Ravi's good and loyal and stable. Diego's the opposite.

"I worry about a lot of things," he murmurs, staring at their hands. It's the million dragot question: "Do you ever worry I'll cheat on you?"

Ravi exhales slowly, in unconscious mimicry. "It's crossed my mind," he admits. "I... have a hard time turning off my head. I always want to know the pros and cons. The possible consequences. What might go wrong, what I might lose. I worry about too many things, all the time. But... I don't believe you're the person you were a year ago. And I believe that you're kind and considerate. I believe that you'd never want to hurt me."

He puts a hand on Diego's cheek, trying to coax him into looking at him. "Diego, you're the best choice I've made this year. And I've never worried about regretting it."
