sunshine x midnight rain prompts

sunshine:

always uses affectionate names, anything from classics like 'sweetie' or 'love' to more... out-there ones like 'peanut butter' and 'oat muffin'

types in lowercase and uses so !!! many !!!! exclamation points !!!!! -> also uses emoticons :) :] >:] <3

shows their emotions outwardly! they always make it very clear how they're feeling

ridiculous sense of humor—they'll just say the silliest, goofiest thing to try and make someone laugh

love languages are words of affirmation and physical touch! -> they're very clingy but they also do a lot of casual touch -> like interlocking arms or leaning on shoulders

they like colors that go well together! their fashion sense leans towards cottage core

they have many many pinterest boards for anything that catches their fancy!! -> they love organizing things

can NOT sit still for long periods of time! they like to run and climb and jump and generally just move their body

midnight rain:

sarcastic sense of humor

driven, ambitious

doesn't really use sweet talk, their love languages are quality time and physical touch -> they are SO clingy

they don't really talk about their emotions often—they write a lot and they have a journal where they just write how they're feeling at the moment or how their day was

totally 100% the mom friend

they're pretty messy and not the biggest fan of organization -> they'd rather spend time drawing or reading or writing

big fan of meditation!

sunshine x midnight rain:

sunshine loving midnight rain not 'despite' their somewhat gloomy outlook but because of it

sunshine loves when they make dark, sarcastic jokes

midnight rain thinks that sunshine's enthusiasm for life is infectious

they have picnics together! midnight rain is a very good baker and they love to lay in the grass together and look at the clouds

sometimes they lay in bed together and midnight rains spends hours describing their dreams for their future

they go on lunch dates!! sunshine usually gets a sandwich and salad, midnight rain usually gets a sandwich and soup -> they usually agree on a drink to share -> BUT sometimes sunshine just REALLY wants a fanta -> and midnight rain just wants sprite or lemonade

do you know how to write a kiss for the first time? ((As in the writer has never written a kiss, not that the characters are having a first kiss

i'm not the best at writing kisses, but i'll try my best to give you some tips!

how to write kisses 💋

Know your characters. Are they soft? Sweet? Vindicative? Angry? Do they hesitate? Are they still unsure about their feelings? Take all of these into account when writing your kiss.

Know what they're feeling. Especially for first kisses, what is each character thinking individually? Is one person excited, elated, and so relieved that it's finally happening, and the other person is anxious because they initiated the kiss and don't know if it's okay?

What kind of kiss is it? Define what you're trying to show with the kiss. Is it their first one? Their last one? Is it a quick peck before leaving the house or a desperate one before going into battle? Make sure you know the mood, as it has a lot of influence in to what emotion each character puts into it.

What happens before and after? Similar to the previous bullet point, figure out what happens before (the buildup) and what happens after (the consequences). For example, if you're writing an existing relationship, maybe the before is just sitting in the kitchen and leaning in and the after is a smile and an "I love you." Maybe you're writing a first kiss after a scary moment and the before is one person rushing to the other, ranting about how they worried the other was dead, and the after is them exchanging a smile full of promise and anticipation.

Find good references. Read kisses. I'm serious. The more you read, the more you know. It can be as easy as searching through ao3 with the tags 'kiss' or 'first kiss'! Some authors will be happy to provide tips and tricks if you leave a kind note and some questions in the comments. I'd also be happy to make a list full of my favorite kiss references, if you wanted to shoot an ask and see that!

It's okay if you're not sure! You mentioned this is your first time writing kisses--and that is ALL good. They're really hard to write!! But remember that you can always get the basis down first--heck, if you're in a scene and decide to include a kiss, you can just make a note that there's a kiss there, and move on. Take all the time and as many drafts as you need!

Thank you for the ask!! I hope this was a little bit helpful! :]

prompt #226

In a world of deception and secrets, you can sense whenever you're being watched, by a burning in your hands. One night, as you get into bed, you feel it—your fingertips are beginning to burn.

you don't have to do this but maybe some touch starved character B and character A who's love language is physical touch (if that makes sense)

my heart melts for that

of course!! sorry this took a while, it's been buzzing around in my brain forever !!

touch starved A + physical touch B

quotes:

"Is this okay?" "... Please."

"I just feel so empty and aching all the time and—are you hugging me?"

"What do you need?"

"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve this."

"Oh, love. Come here."

"They flinch away why I try and touch them but I see them hugging themselves when they're scared. I don't know how to help." "They'll come to you when they're ready."

"Can I have a hug?"

"Tell me whenever you get overwhelmed, okay?"

"Please, I promise I'll be better, please—" "I'm not going to hurt you, I swear."

prompts:

A is touch starved but B just thinks they don't like physical affection

5 times A flinched away from B's touch and one time they asked for it

The only touch A has ever had is violent—until B

A is the toughest, most resilient person B knows. It isn't until one vulnerable moment that B realizes how much A just needs to be held

A thinks they don't deserve to be touched and B works very hard to prove them wrong

B touches so casually (arms over shoulders, holding hands, hugging from behind) and A doesn't know how to handle it

more:

A - they feel guilty for not being able to give B what they want - feeling hollow, like their body is empty up to their skin - buzzing - electricity when they're touched - they both hate and love physical contact - emotionally drained - they shrink away from touch but they long for it from afar

B - they feel guilty for wanting something A can't give them - always repressing the urge to hug, hold, or even just touch A - can always tell when A wants it but won't give in to themselves - longing - prioritizes A's needs over their own - maybe doesn't allow themselves to feel alone too

i hope this helps!! thank you for the request, it was really fun to think about :]]]
