General Fluff Meme

We all need a little love and fun now and then with the rise and fall of drama to remind us why we love/like someone. Kick back, find someone and have a little fun.

1. Lazy Day ♥ Why get up when you can laze around in bed with someone and cuddle?
2. Playground games ♥ Remember that fun you had as a child? That special other person brings it back. Tag or Hide and Seek, whatever playground games you want.
3. Firsts ♥ First kiss, first date, first time someone notices the doe eyes pointed their way?
4. Camping ♥ Spend a sweet night under the stars. Nature isn't very private, but who's out in the woods this late at night to see?
5. In the Rain ♥ Since it's not tears from your cheeks, why not go take a natural shower? Maybe you could talk someone into joining you.
6. Slow Dancing ♥ Nothing like music to sweep the rest of the world away, take a few minutes on the dance floor and shake that stress away.
7. WildCard ♥ ~~fuck the police~~ Make up your own!

[Draco's never really seen this kind of playground. Well. He's seen them, sure, but he's never played on the things. And why exactly the Nysgods have suddenly given them a playground in one of the parks is beyond him, but honestly? He's going to make the most of it.

[So that's why what a casual walk with Devi - one of many; they seemed to do that far too often - goes from that to Draco suddenly stopping in his tracks, blinking at it and then at her as a wide smirk curves his mouth. Never a good sign, that. Brace yourself, Devi. You're getting dragged along as he heads quickly off in the direction of the swings.]

[Had she known, Devi would have drawn him illustrations of how to play then taken him as soon as they had the equipment.

Devi stopped when he did, missing the playground completely in favor of giving a questioning look. Oh god, a smirk. No, that never boded well and when he started pulling her, she finally got around to noting the playground. Devi grinned once she realized where they were heading.

Cheeky impulsiveness is what prompted the challenge she issued as she pulled her hand from his.]

Race you.

[said illustrations probably would have been pinned up for future reference.

[His eyebrows arch a little at the sudden bout of competitiveness, but there's no way he can refuse something that practically promises (pinky-swears?) to be amazing. In some way, at least. No sooner has she issued it than Draco was running, dashing past her with a whoop that's meant to be some sort of battle cry. No way is he losing. Unless she cheats. Maybe she'll cheat. He doesn't know.]

[A step and a half into his sprint and Devi reacts; the grin was brighter for his war cry and she runs after him.]

Cheater!

[Only because he just took off and stole the lead. She wasn't going to cheat (that would take the fun out of it), but she would give him a 'run' for his credits. Even at a base level, Devi ran quickly, gaining inches on his slight lead.

(D20: 17 - In Draco's favor)

Once she got to the swing set, Devi used one of the support bars to catch and stop her momentum with a giggle.]

I demand a recount, that wasn't fair.

[her accusation of him cheating just makes him grin more, and he loves that he has long legs even more now than before. He knows full well that's why he's got a decent lead on her - that and the fact that he did indeed take off before the starting gun, so to speak - and that's exactly why he holds his lead, however faintly. His grin is almost hurting his cheeks now, and he manages to stop himself with one of the swings, clinging to the chain as he sways and catches his breath.]

Perfectly fair. I'm bigger than you, that's how this works.

[and because he really is twelve: he sticks out his tongue at her.]

[Devi scoffed at his explanation and with a heavy breath stepped around the support to plot down in the swing closest, a hand wrapping around the chain. She glanced over to see him stick out his tongue, turning her face away with a laugh before looking at him again.]

Mature, Draco, real mature. Your size doesn't have anything to do with it either, but.. [She waggled a finger at him threateningly with a scrunched closed eye.] Next time.. Next time, I'll beat ya.

[he drops himself into the swing he's clinging to with a breath of a laugh when she calls him mature. He is. Most of the time. But every now and then...well, he's allowed to have a little fun. A couple years of his childhood got stolen from him, after all, and he has to make up for them.]

All right. I'm holding you to that, then. [he looks far too pleased, and just a little bit sceptical as he beams at her, starting up his swing with a steady kick. It's definitely a new experience, and Draco clearly has none of the grace that someone who's actually done this before has.]

[He was allowed and she would prove herself hypocritical soon enough. When in the mood, Devi encouraged fun. With a pleased smile, Devi expertly toes herself backwards before starting her swing.]

I use to think that swinging really high was what flying felt like. I miss these. And four-square. But not those jungle gym domes that no one over 5 foot can stand in without scrunching.

[he may be sneaking a little look to see exactly how to do this. He's a quick study, at least; it doesn't take him too long to find a semi-decent pace that doesn't come horribly each time.]

I can't say I've ever been on one of these. I'd say that I could tell you, but obviously you know what flying's like now. Sort of, at least.

[he chuckles, pumping his legs. He's getting better!] Why would anyone want to play in a jungle gym dome that you can't stand in? And what exactly does that look like?

[Devi gasps exaggeratedly at him, shaking her head with mock disapproval.]

Swings are the best, really. Well, I mean, the jungle gyms are meant for little kids, elementary students and stuff and I don't know any 6 foot eight year olds.

[She's gained enough momentum now that pumping her legs isn't necessary and her feet cross and tuck underneath her.]

Think of it like a dome built with steel triangles. But at the top you can sit and let your legs dangle through and if you're small enough, hang from them. They made the best 'hideouts' and perches but I always got bored of them.

Have you been on any playground equipment?

I certainly wasn't. [closer to three feet, rather. But that's neither here nor there.] So what makes swings for everyone if everything else is meant for little kids?

[because they're super freaking fun. Seriously.]

I'll bet it would be all right if you tossed blankets over top it all and made a proper fort.

[a pause, and he glances over.] No. Not really.

Length of chain? They've got smaller swings that you can put babies in, if that makes you feel any better. Like, toddler swings.

[She pursed her lips at the suggestion, eyebrows lifting. That was a good idea. It'd be like a TeePee and those were just as fantastic as swings. Of course, as an adult now, her idea of playing in a TeePee might be a little different.

Devi glanced over at the admission and pumped her legs once to put her back to top height before letting got. It always felt like she hung in the air for a half second before gravity exercised itself and she landed on flat feet, knees bending her down to catch the weight. Devi popped back up and turned around, looking very serious.]

A grievous oversight in your experience that must be fixed. This is our mission.

So there's two options. One for toddlers, and one for everyone else. That seems fair.

[but he laughs anyway, pumping his legs so he could get a bit more height. He doesn't want to let her get away, but there's no way in hell he's letting go. That seems about the same as letting go of your broom when you're a hundred feet up, and that just doesn't strike him as a good way to spend his time, no matter how many gifts he gets as a 'get well' surprise.]

Is it? So what're we doing next?

Asses tend to only get so big after all. Well, unless you live in the midwest of America. Or Mississippi. And yes, it is.

[She folded her arms over her chest with a childish grin.]

You've got choices. The Slide - [She gestured with her head to the large blue plastic tube that was yonder] - The monkey bars or the Merry go round. We could always do the teeter-totter but even I'm a bit big for that one. That's for the tiny people.

He didn't care who saw or what was going on. Dorian was being impulsive and after running down the hall sliding up to her and bouncing up on his feet in one almost fluid motion he widened his chaotic green eyes reaching out, both hands cupping her face as he leaned in to steal her lips. A kiss. Or a headbutt if she moved wrong.

Devi had been reading actually, one of the rare times that she actually walked around with her nose in a book so his surprise attack was exactly that. She looked up with wide eyes in time to see him bounce to his feet and recoiled a little, but his hands drew her forward again. Their lips came together with a muffled protest from Devi; a moment later she pulled her head back, breaking the kiss and looking at him like he was mad. Luckily, he is.

"Dorian! Wha-?"

The wide playful grin crossed his features as he closed the distance between them once more and slipped his arms around her. "Good morning my dearest Devi! I have missed you greatly~ I felt I should show my longing in pleasant ways!"

The book was closed around one finger to keep her place as she put her hands on his arms and looked up with a slightly confused but amused smile.

"Good morning. Maybe I should take a vacation or something, see what kind of greeting that gets me," she teased. "You're lucky I didn't hit you with my book." That was wiggled on his shoulder in mock threat.

His grin widend some as he leaned in a bit closer. "I am not sure that is a venture you wish to take." he was being a tease, that was what he was being.

When she wiggled the book he snorted playfully. "Lucky. Nah, that may have been fun." His arms stayed around her, just enjoying having her close.

"You're lucky I'm in a good mood," Devi replied good naturedly, pushing herself out of his arms with an eye roll. "And that you're you. Anyone else might have gotten punched."

It was cute, but Devi would only take so much teasing knowing that's what it was. "What's got you in such a good mood, anyway? Did you drink from one of the heavily caffeinated people? Is Rush okay?"

"Even if your mood was foul I would be more then pleased to be around you." He teased and finally let go as she pushed out of his arms. "I may have enjoyed that." he had to tease, someone was in a chipper playful mood.

"A few sips from Seth." And her blood always had him buzzing for a day after. "BUt a man should not kiss and tell." of course he means the vampires kiss.

"You say that now," she replied with a quirk of a grin. Holding the book in front of her, Devi stepped around Dorian and restarted her pace, trusting that he would fall in line with her.

"I don't think snack time counts as kiss and tell and besides that, I don't count." Her chin tilted up a little proudly at that. "Just don't greet everyone that way, you really might get hit."

And she was right, he did, following like a little duckling.

"That is what we call it back home, the vampires kiss." He mused to her, a playful grin on his features. "Might be fun to be hit for having fun is all I am saying."

Hmm," she hummed out with an amused sidelong glance. "Well, next time you decide to enter my personal space like that, I'll be sure to sock you in the arm or something."
