 Damsel in distress? This is your dream guy. Will go to the ends of the earth to save you, and will capture your heart while doing it. |
( Ichigo Kurosaki | 17 | male | Women )     |
she has no idea what she's doing
[ tanaTATAs has swiped right on your profile. ]
neither does he. here comes the train wreck in all of his glory.
Ichigo, having just taken a sip of water, spits it the fuck out across his bed when he goes to check what the ping was for. What--
What is even happening right now?! What are these profiles?! His (and WHY does he HAVE one?!) is just the WORST kind of mess that he can't even deal with looking at (TASTESLIKESTRAWBERRY?!), and Orihime's profile picture is just... not okay. And not in the offensive, I don't find this attractive kind of way, but the kind that makes him turn beet red and want to hide in this room for the rest of his life.
Which in and of itself sounds terrible. Way to go, Ichigo, you goddamn closet pervert. His inner narrator needs to be fired, immediately.
Ichigo is just. Gonna do whatever he can to uh.... close this out before he has a heart attack.
And he swipes right trying to do that. There's a little ding and the pop up that says matched with tanaTATAS! has him throwing the device across the room in absolute horror. What did he just do???]
1/2
At first she was scandalized when she found the deerlyBeloved app not long after she began playing with her Fluid, but she quickly found that getting to go around and read all the different biographies was kind of amusing. The fact that she couldn't edit hers was a little...erm...frustrating and embarrassing, but for the most part everyone's profiles seem to be upbeat and positive. So maybe this is just a humorous morale booster?
So when she was scrolling through and found "tasteslikestrawberry" she had to, you know, give it a little look and wasn't at all disappointed. His scowling face is one of her favorites! It still makes her giggle. So you swipe right to like. Of course she would!
What she absolutely did not account for was that when you liked anyone's profile that they would get notified of it.
Or that it could just happen to you in return.
Orihime gets a notification and, in blissful ignorance, looks at the screen on her own Fluid:
You have been matched with tasteslikestrawberry. ]
choo choo all aboard
[ What...what is this!
What does this mean "MATCHED"!?
Oh no, oh no.
Orihime stares at the screen until it goes black, hands shaking.
He...he saw that I liked his profile! He knows that I was snooping!!
Terrified brown eyes turn up to see that the door to her bedroom is ajar and she rushes over to rectify that quickly, shutting it with a little more force than is necessary. Oof. Did he hear that!?
Calm down! It's...it's just a silly thing on the internet!
Yes, nothing to be...wait...
Does...does this mean that he saw my profile?
A new wave of terror takes her.
Then he saw my picture! He saw THAT PICTURE snooping on his profile!! He must think I'm a pervert!! ]
destination: the land of eternal awkward and regret
Nevermind that it has a lock on it, he is in too much of a panic to even think of that. Nope, the only thing he is thinking is shitshitshitshitshitshit, on an infinite loop.
Until the end of time.
What did he do?! What does matched mean?! He knows that it's a stupid fucking question, that this is obviously a dating app, or one of those awful hook up apps, but he is asking himself anyway.
Did he just give her the idea that he wants to hook up with her? That he saw that picture and was like yes, count me in?????
Shit shit shit
What the hell is wrong with him?! Like really, Ichigo, you couldn't manage to close out a stupid application without making life even worse?? Because NOW, one of his best friends and his roommate probably thinks he is like. After her, and totally a pervert, and
How is he ever going to face her again? They live together and he can't. Not come out of this room. Well. Or can he? Ichigo is suddenly trying to work out the logistics of never, ever leaving this room again. It's not working, at all, because obviously he needs things like food and water to survive... although the idea of withering away isn't too bad in his humiliation.
He just. Doesn't move. For a very, very long time.
And when he does finally find the courage to leave his room, he is going to just. Pretend that nothing happened and hope she doesn't ask about it. Orihime can deal with him not looking her in the face for a while, right>]
