THREE... TWO... ONE...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Is something nobody says, for the very simple reason that at the stroke of midnight, most people's mouths are abruptly occupied. Anyone within earshot of the bells is drawn to the person nearest them, whether they're familiar or a stranger, and regardless of their intentions, those two people are lip-locked now.

Of course, you can choose to be chaste about this, if you really want. But on the other hand, it's gonna be a long kiss if you're not even trying to enjoy it - the enchantment, whatever it is, lasts until the clock strikes one. That doesn't mean you have to kiss that whole time, but neither of you can break physical contact with the other - some parts of your body always have to be in contact.

Might as well start the year as you mean to go on, right?

[[Your character does not have to be involved if you don't want them to be. Any characters who are sleeping or out of range of the bells - or out of range of other people - are unaffected. If you do want your character to be affected, either post a toplevel describing where they are/what they're doing, or reply to someone else's]]

[Okay, there is clearly some kind of magic fuckery going on here. Remus half-laughs, flopping his wrist uselessly, and manages to brush his hand against her hip at the same time which means, ah yes, it's now stuck there.]

I'm fine. That was...weird. The clock was just striking midnight, and then all of a sudden we were...

[He clears his throat.]

In close proximity. To say the least.

Not a clue.

[Alright, at least they can make themselves a little more comfortable while they figure this out...? His hand slides a little higher on her hip, to a slightly more chaste position.]</small. It happened right as the bells went...maybe we just have to wait for them to ring again.

...Yeah, true. I suppose it's only an educated guess. But...

[Remus glances around, and nods toward the foot of one of the grand staircases. It's away from the door, but not so far away to make getting there a pain, and they can at least sit down.]

Sit over there?

[They figure it out, somehow, together, and Remus is glad to at least get into a more comfortable position so they can wait this out.]

I just wanted to look at the moon before bed. But...if you like, you can rest your head on my shoulder. It...it might be a bit more comfortable.

[He figures they're already stuck together, nothing could really make this all that much worse...right?

And, well. It's sort of nice, having her resting against him. He likes Éowyn, after all, so he's a lot more comfortable being stuck to her than he would be a stranger.

His free shoulder raises in a shrug.]


Yeah. Every so often. It's peaceful, now, being able to look at it through my own eyes.

Yes, the werewolf.

[His smile is small, but tight.]

I used to fear the moon. Dreaded it. But now? It's sort of like a victory every time I see it.

[The squeeze of her hand is nice. Comforting. Remus smiles down at her.]

Don't be. Most people don't have to think about it. And those of us who do...well, we learn to deal with it.

[personal profile] moonshined 2018-01-08 04:11 pm (UTC)(link)
You make a very good point.

[He really didn't mean to be such a downer. He gives Éowyn a friendly nudge with his shoulder.]

Thanks, though, really. It's good to hear that.

[personal profile] moonshined 2018-01-08 06:18 pm (UTC)(link)
And I'm thankful for that.

[Without really thinking about it, completely on impulse, Remus turns and plants a kiss atop Éowyn's head—and by some stroke of luck, manages not to get stuck there.]

[If Remus's cheeks weren't already burning, they sure are now. He clears his throat, and turns his head so that his lips find her forehead, just above her brow.

Y'know. Just a friendly friend kiss.]

[Just some friends being pals.

He's holding his breath, afraid that he might have crossed the line, been too intimate, or caused her offense—always a legitimate worry with Éowyn—but when she speaks again that doesn't seem to be the case.]


...Are you cold? I could...try and keep you warm.

[THAT'S NOT A COME-ON HE SWEARS]

[He lets out a nervous note of laughter, and slowly lets one arm curl around her shoulders.]

We can move. If you want. Somewhere less...made of stone.
