No More Secrets Meme

[fieldpromoted]

Good evening meatship, I bring you your Friday meme!

No More Secrets

1. All of your character's darkest and most embarrassing secrets, the ones that they have been holding back from the crew, are now common knowledge.

2. Since not everyone knows everyone's canon, comment with your character and a bulleted list of the things they have been holding back from the crew. These can be funny things (that time I ran around with my underwear outside my pants), embarrassing things (Little Black Book-type secrets) or the dark things they never wanted anyone to know.

3. Other characters react to these sudden revelations about your character. Will it change the way people feel about each other?

IMPORTANT: PLEASE POST WARNINGS IN THE SUBJECT LINE IF SOMETHING IN THE COMMENT IS TRIGGERY. This meme has the potential to be a lot more dramatic than our usual fare, and I want to make sure everyone is comfortable.

Muns, have fun! Characters... well, I'm not sure "fun" applies.

[Nods. Yeah, she understands.]

[Have some fidgeting and some eye averting.]

I..I don't mind if it means something, though...

[fidget fidget, they are both awkward fidgeting things about stuff like this]

Well...

[he's gotten a little braver over his time on the ship, in a lot of ways.]

Well then, I--I guess--I guess if you don't mind, it's okay to tell you that I think I'm starting to--

[he rubs a hand over his cheek, thinking hard]

I'm starting to think of you as more than just--I--

[astridhofferson.livejournal.com]

Hiccup. You don't have to force it.

[Tell me when you're absolutely ready... idiot...]

[i-saw-myself.livejournal.com]

No, I want to, I just--

[He's afraid of what she'll say. He's ready to say it, but is she ready to hear it? Still, he's trained a dragon, and fought a giant one, he's fought space alien bug-monsters--if he could do all those things, he can say this one thing, right?]

[deep breath]

You are more than just a friend to me, and you're more than just some girl I date. Sometimes, you know, sometimes people take a fancy to someone and it doesn't work out and they marry someone else--it happens. And they have a good time in the meantime, right, before they move on? But sometimes they--they have that thing that someone catches their eye and--and from that moment on, they're pretty much gone. And then they go on and get married and have kids and that also happens. Or they go on and the person doesn't love them back and they're just doomed. All those different things happened all the time back home, right?

And I think I'm the kind of person that's--that's pretty much gone. You were my friend and then you weren't, and you are again, and you're just--

In my eyes, I had this picture of you, but it was more a picture than who you were, but now I've seen who you are instead, and--and I like that even better. Even with all the little...quirks, and things that are--actually, some of them can be pretty aggravating sometimes, but I think we do that to each other.

[he waves his hands, as if dismissing that thought]

My point is that eight months in really extreme circumstances is a long time to have to figure out how you feel about someone, and I've shared the same bed with you every night since we got here, and even though I'm not ready to jump into that, you know, tomorrow, I'm starting to have these...thoughts that maybe I want you to be the person that...that I always share that bed with. Those thoughts are starting, that I might want to start considering...that, that I'm starting to feel--to feel that way about you.

And I'm terrified because, like I said, if you don't feel the same way--I think I might be one of those people that's just...doomed.

[Aw, you tl;dr idiot. Just incapable of condensing your words, huh?]

Don't.

[He's not doomed. Look, she's smiling so happily and clasping his fidgety hands together out between them, shaking her head with a laugh. What can she say to that?]

You're truly the best boyfriend I could ask for. Truly.

So, how would I not feel the same way?

[i-saw-myself.livejournal.com]

Oh, wow, that is the biggest relief--that is--

[he laughs and takes her hands.]

...I talk too much, don't I.

[astridhofferson.livejournal.com]

[Firm nod.]

Well, one of us should.

Be happy I like your voice.
