NEVER HAVE I EVER MEME

- Everyone is at a big party. I don't know how we fit this many people into one room either, but bear with me!
- Post an IC or anon comment with a subject that finishes the sentence "never have I ever".
- If you see something your character has done, reply with them taking a shot! If they've done it many times, have them take many shots or down an entire bottle. Shots do not need to be alcohol, especially not for underage characters.
- All characters must be honest. It's more fun that way.
- Bother other people. Demand details. Don't wreck the house, please.
- example!!

That may be so, but you nevertheless could use some form of relief. Something to stimulate your otherwise wilting dopamine.

I mean, unless you want to emulate Sherlock, substituting warm bodies for corpses.

Someone to keep me sane. In my work.

I suppose you could use her for that, too. [Beat.] Him?

I--

[It all makes sense. He tries to stifle a laugh, fails, and shoots out a small giggle instead.]

I d-didn't realize you were talking about that sort of partner.

Well obviously. Who has sex with their partners in crime?

[Wait for it...]

Outside myself, I mean.

[And, regretfully, he misunderstands once again.]

You--

Are you-- ?

[Are you offering yourself?]

Of course I'm serious. [He assumes Katurian will say, as he rudely interrupts.] Are you really that surprised?

I assumed that-- that that was off limits. If I knew, I would said something earlier. I would have said something at April's party.

[A bit surprised:] Why would such a thing be forbidden? I encourage you to experiment, don't I? Isn't that what I say our type does?

[He steps closer. Little by little.]

You mean this. It's not just-- It's not just a test.

No, it isn't just a test. [The misunderstanding runs deep, and Eddie really thinks that Katurian assumed he demanded that his allies stay celibate.

He chalks it up to Katurian being from a repressed totalitarian world.]

You should be able to express yourself, shouldn't you?

[He should be able to express himself. Katurian reaches, unthinkingly, for Edward's cheek.]

Yes.

Oh, ah. [Eddie glanced at that hand on his face, without making much movement.] Well, I'm glad we agree.

[In another circumstance, Katurian might have answered verbally -- a quiet 'okay' or 'me too' or something of the like. But the build up is too much and the release is too necessary.

Instead, he leans forward to kiss him.]

[Eddie jerks, realizing only too late the misunderstanding. He grabs Katurian by the hips, forcibly making distance as he turns his head, feeling that warm breath on his cheek instead.]

Heel.

[Katurian hangs there, frozen, suspended by Edward's arms.]

I d-didn't-- I thought we-- I thought you--

[He shrinks.]

You did a little projecting there, didn't you? [He's not angry, not at all, but he isn't trying to guise his amusement.]

[Katurian trembles and shakes and trembles and-- nods, his eyes averted.]

You were talking about-- about partners in crime. I didn't think--

Because I often sleep with my partners in crime. [A quick, sharp look.] But not all of them.

[With his eyes down at the ground, his body a trembling statue, he doesn't catch the look. He reaches down, slowly, to take Edward's hand off his hips.]

Not me.

[Eddie lets him, because he knows this is a delicate situation. He knows he shouldn't push, he knows he needs to consider Katurian's emotional state (because he doesn't want this backfiring), he knows how to work with a tenuo--]

Why does everyone thing I'm sexually interested in men?

[Welp.]

It might be all the touching.

Touch is a form of control!

[Touches Katurian's face! Sensually! To prove this!]

[Under the gentle touch of his ill-advised man crush, Katurian somehow manages to not to wilt where he stands.

He does, however, tighten his grip on Eddie's hand to an absurd degree.]

Ah. [The wince is immediate. He glances down at his squished hand.] Ah.

You're hurting me.

[More surprised than accusatory.]
