↘ Roll as many times as you like! Play out as many scenarios as you want! Just enjoy the fluffy or angsty goodness.

● 01 I HAVE A CONFESSION | There's someone you really like and it's finally time to tell them! It can be spur of the moment or elaborately planned out.
● 02 START OF SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL | You've just got together and everything is great! You can't stop thinking about each other or keep your hands off your significant other. You want to spend all the time you can together, doing whatever!
● 03 CAN'T GET IT UP | It happens to everyone, honest! For whatever reason, you just haven't been able to perform or maybe you're just not interested in sex. Is it because things are dull? Is it because you're not attracted to your partner? Or have you just been too busy or stressed out?
● 04 SAW YOU LAST NIGHT | You think you saw your partner in the arms of another - was it an honest mistake or is something honestly going on here?
● 05 FIRST TIME | It's the first kiss or the first time making love with your partner and you're so nervous and awkward, you're sure you'll mess it up! Maybe you do, but that's okay... they like you, right?
● 06 ANNIVERSARY | Two week, two month, two year, or whatever number you decide, that's how long you've been together with your partner and you want to do something special to celebrate it!
● 07 WANT YOU BACK | You broke up, but it was a mistake. You need to correct it ASAP... will your lover take you back though?
● 08 JUST MARRIED | Just married! Is it the wedding night? The honeymoon? You decide!
● 09 BAD ROMANCE | You're no good for each other and you know it! Unfortunately, your relationship is so sizzling, you can't break it off and you don't even want to.
● 10 FIGHT | You're both in one of those moods where you just want to sit around fighting over every little thing... bills or money, friends, your partner staying out too late, or whatever you can think of!
● 11 LET'S MAKE UP | Of course making up is the best part though! Whatever it was is totally forgotten now.
● 12 HONEY, I'M... | You've been feeling a little funny for a bit, so you take a pregnancy test and... oh no! Or is it 'oh great!'? Time to tell your partner either way...
● 13 ABOUT LAST NIGHT | Time to face that one night stand...
● 14 CHEATER | You're not being cheated on! You're the other person meddling with someone's lover! But for whatever reason, you just can't say no even if you know you should...
● 15 OBJECTIONS | You're facing a lot of objections to your relationship and it's starting to put a strain on it. Why don't you sit down and discuss it, see if you can work it out?
● 16 HAVE TO LET YOU GO | You have to break up with your partner... not because you want to! But because you need to protect them... can you do it successfully? Will they find out? You decide!

[John can't breathe. This is his chance. They went out to the movies, the two of them and Jade and Karkat and, oddly enough, Equius. It had been a good movie, except the parts where Karkat started screaming at the characters on the screen(horror movies got to him), but the car pools on the way home split both ways. John and Jade were both old enough to drive, being twins, but because they'd been adopted out to different families as child, they lived on different sides of town. Jade had agreed to drive Karkat and Equius home, as they lived on her side, and John... John was alone with Vriska for 20 minutes, with no chance of parents walking in or kids from school overhearing or awkward after time to deal with if she rejected him or anything at all. He thanked whatever gods might exist that her mother had had time to drive her here, but not to drive her back.]

[This was the time. There's a rest stop halfway between her house and the movies, and he forces himself to breathe and pulls over there. If he stopped the car anywhere else passing policemen might have noticed and come over to make sure everything was okay. Hopefully, this will be safe enough.]

Um, hey, Vriska?

[He swallows hard and stares hard at the steering wheel. There's a little salamander keychain hanging from the ignition, a present from Dave, who, coincidentally, had been encouraging him to get the balls to do this for months.]

Can... Can I talk to you about something? It's... kinda important.

[cant8r8kme]

[They're alone. They're all alone, in the dark, in John's car for the next near half hour. His car smells like him and a little like cake and fast food, but mostly like car. It's almost overwhelming. They were great friends, the best of friends, this wasn't weird!!! It was just...she really liked him. She had the hugest, stupidest, most fawning-over crush on John Freaking Egbert.]

[When he pulls over, she's startled. They're alone at night in John's car pulled over at a rest stop alone and oh fuck this could be it. This could be when he tells her he loves her, always has, or that he's a guard to her castle since she's a long-lost princess, or that he just wants to be friends with her and for her to stop obviously flirting. She picks at the grain of her jeans, swallowing and reminding herself to count to eight, it's okay, don't get your hopes up that he likes you, too, unlikely as it was that John had caught onto her sneaky flirtations.]

Yeah, sure, John! What's up?

[Her hand is tucking hair behind her ear faster than the words come stumbling out of her mouth. She hasn't done that in ages, fuck.]

[aliencereal]

[Okay, John. Now is not the time to panic and run screaming from your own car and/or curl up in a ball to defend yourself. You can do this. It's Vriska. She's one of your best friends, and despite what all the other kids at school say, she's honestly pretty damn great! So even if you totally and completely make an ass out of yourself, you'll probably still be friends afterwards! It'll be fine! Assuming your stomach doesn't eat itself with nerves.]

[He should have rehearsed this. Shit. Too late for that now, it's not like he can just tell her that he likes her nailpolish or something and go home and practice. He might not get this chance again for a long time, and that would be totally lame. She deserved better than something he realized he could do halfway through some random horror movie. But if she likes him too, maybe this will be a nice surprise! Or... If she doesn't, maybe it'll be funny enough that they'll be able to laugh at it in a few weeks, provided he doesn't kill himself out of awkward shame.]

So, um...

[He doesn't have anything to do with his hands that doesn't look stupid and for some reason he can't stop thinking about that. He wishes he had something to fiddle with, if only make himself stop feeling like he could throw up at any moment. If he throws up trying to tell Vriska he likes her, it's official, he'll never be able to propose to anyone, ever.]

Okay, this is probably going to sound really stupid and I'm probably being really stupid, but I've been wanting to say it for ages and Dave's been poking at me to just man up and say it and at least this way I'll know and oh god I'm totally rambling.

[He forces a deep breath and bites his lip. There's a pause of about 5 seconds that feels like 5 hours in which his heart beats way, way too fast and he feels more nauseous than ever.]

Uh. Well. I think you're really great. And pretty! A-and fun to hang out with, and smart and funny and a-and...

[He swallows hard and blurts it out.]

I like you! Erm, like, uh, more than a friend! Way more! You're like, the best girl I know!

[At this point his courage totally fails and he covers his face with his hands and groans.]

That sounded so fucking stupid, oh my god.

[cant8r8kme]

[It's rare when Vriska is caught off guard, or that something happens that she didn't rig or predict. This? This is one of those things, one of the things she's dreamed and hoped for for so very long but never thought could happen. John was too good for her. She tried to pull the strings to get them closer and such when they were becoming friends, but he pulled the rug from under her and she fell head over heels for him. He was more than she thought she wanted, and, a lot of the time, she felt he was everything she needed.]

[Vriska is instantaneous in her response, her brain moving faster than her mouth.]

No no no no no no no no! You're fine! I mean--it's fine!

[Her heart's beating about has hard as her face is warming up. Oh yes yes yes yes, this is more than perfect! This is great, this is exciting, this is intensely nerve wracking fuck.]

I--you don't sound stupid, John. Not totally!

[She flips her hair over her shoulder, hair that hadn't needed to be flipped but god she had to do something with her hands, and looks at her feet for a moment. Everything is racing inside her, but her outside is all too telling of the shy, lonely girl she hates that she is a lot of the time. She plays with her hair, darts her eyes around, and gives a small chuckle to preface herself.]

Wow, I have to tell you, I never thought you'd say that kind of stuff! About me, I mean. And...I, uh...I...like-like you more than a friend, too, John!

[She pauses for a moment, and then very easily mimics john's facehands.]

Oh my gooooooood did I just say like-like?! Fuck I'm such a loser.
