the i n s o m n i a meme

It happens to everyone - sometimes, you have nights where you just can't fall asleep, no matter what you do. It could be for a number of reasons, or no reason at all. And this is what's happened now: you've been laying in bed for what feels like hours, just tossing and turning, and nothing seems to help. So what's left to do? Get out of bed and go wake someone else up, of course. If you're not getting any sleep, then why should they?

o p t i o n s
01 • FEAR. Maybe you're hearing strange, indeterminable noises; maybe there's a severe storm happening outside; maybe you watched a scary movie before bed? Whatever the reason, you're terrified and it's keeping you awake. You just want to wake someone else up so they can protect you from the monster in your closet.
02 • HUNGER. Your stomach is growling and it just won't stop. Or perhaps your throat is so dry you could cough up a tumbleweed? Well, you've gone to the kitchen to remedy this and hey, that was a pan that just dropped on the floor. It was loud enough to wake the dead! Oops.
03 • PAIN. Your body is completely worn out, be it from exercise, battle, sickness, or what have you. Either way you're in enough pain to keep you from sleeping, so maybe someone else has a home remedy or something, or can at least help you take your mind off of it.
04 • SOLITUDE. For some reason, your bed just feels so empty at the moment. You're feeling terribly lonely and really just want someone to keep you company for a while. Maybe it'd be easier to fall asleep if you're with them...
05 • DISCOMFORT. Your room is an oven. Either that or a freezer. Or maybe this bed is just really uncomfortable? Who knows why you can't get to sleep, it feels like it could be anything. Why even bother trying? Maybe someone else can preoccupy you until you feel tired enough to ignore your discomfort.
06 • PENSIVE. Something's on your mind, and no matter how hard you try to focus elsewhere, it's just not going to work. Your body may be tired, but your mind is incredibly busy and it's virtually impossible to get to sleep. Surely, talking it out with someone else will help?
07 • SADNESS. Something terrible has happened that day, perhaps; or you could just be severely depressed. Either way you're trying your hardest not to cry yourself to sleep, and it's not working at all. Better find a way to get it out of your system somehow; you need a shoulder to cry on.
08 • ANGER. You are just... fuming. Who knows why - that annoying dog is barking again, or maybe the people next door are getting busy and keeping you awake. Whatever the reason for your ire is, you'd better put an end to it so you can get some damn rest already! Go wake up a friend so you can complain to them.
09 • RESTLESS. You're far too energetic to sleep right now. Maybe you're just trying to do so out of necessity - you have to be up early tomorrow! But you just don't think you'll be able to fall asleep for a while now, so why waste the time trying to sleep when you could be doing something else? Namely bothering someone else - you're totally jealous because they're getting more sleep than you.
10 • WILDCARD. Choose one of the options above, or make up your own scenario.

[This is sharing! Just sharing a kiss instead of ice cream. Or well, for the most part. He'll move closer himself, shoulder leaning on hers now, while his tongue moved out to lick at the ice cream.

And her lips.]

From:

hasthepotential

[This time it startles Minako enough to gasp and giggle, though remember, she's the one holding the spoon, so that spoon jumps with her, and splats the remaining ice cream right in Minato's nose.

That just makes her giggle more. Sorry, high school girl.]

From:

mp3

[Oh god, colddddd... ! He quickly starts to wipe his nose with the blanket, not really caring at this point for the mess.

While he won't be licking that up, he will flick the spoon in her direction a bit, trying to splatter some of the residue onto her.]

... Cold...

From:

hasthepotential

[Minako is about to shriek, but she quickly silences herself, tugging up the sheets and shielding herself.] It was an accident! I promise..!

[She reaches for the spoon with the full intent of wrestling it from Minato's grip.]

From:

mp3

Uh huh.

[Well, he'll wrestle back! It's not too much noise at least, and it's kind of fun, so he might as well! He doesn't want her to get a hold of it, at least. Let's get ready to rumble... !

Over a spoon.]

From:

hasthepotential

Don't you--[There's a small grunt as she tries to climb on top of him to pry the spoon out of his fingers.]--believe me?!

[She's trying not to get too noisy. It's easier for Minato for a myriad of reasons.]

It was my ice cream to begin with, besides!!

[There may be more than a little whining in her voice.]

From:

mp3

Was it?

[It was. But man, is she cute. He can't help but smile as he holds an iron grip on the spoon. Though, her on top of her isn't too good...

So why not reverse it? He'll grab her, and turn over with her, to lay over her with the spoon still in his hand.]

Maybe you could give me another treat instead?

From:

hasthepotential

[Gotta hand it to you, Minato. It usually takes a lot more to shut Minako up.]

....

[Her eyes flicker to the spoon for just a moment before fixing back on his eyes, her lips pulled tight at a loss for what to say.]

From:

mp3

[Ohoho. He's good about that.]

Hm?

[He never got an answer, Minako! Well?]

From:

hasthepotential

...w...would I get the ice cream in exchange?

[PRIORITIES, Minako!!]

From:

mp3

You could always have ice cream while I get my treat too.

[But yes. Ice cream will be had.]

I'll get you more tomorrow too, if you really want.

From:

hasthepotential

Deal.

[All official-like.]

But we can't get caught, so...what's your asking price?

From:

mp3

I can be quiet if you can.

[Hmm, let's see...]

If you still want ice cream right now, we can either kiss or you can suck.

[Saying it flat out. No shame!]

I don't know which you would like more though.

From:

hasthepotential

[She knew this was coming, so why is she blushing at his boldness?]

...suck...what?

[Either way, her mouth would be occupied...]

From:

mp3

[He'll motion down! What else?]

It'll be cold, but I can handle it.

[But exactly! It's a win win.]

From:

hasthepotential

[Minako casts her eyes to the side, frowning thoughtfully.]

S'no reason we can't do both...

[She is a glutton, after all.]

From:

mp3

That's true.

[He doesn't mind this one bit.]

I'd be fine with that.

[He's very much happy with this.]

Should we start, then?

From:

hasthepotential

Get the ice cream.

[She's not moving until it's clearly part of the deal. Not that you wouldn't taste lovely, or anything...]

From:

mp3

Mm.

[He'll hold it up! There you go, Minako. Ice cream for all your kinky needs.]

From:

hasthepotential

[It's a start. She takes a more modest spoonful this time, nipping at it with her lips and sitting up just enough to press her lips to Minato's, passing a small portion into his mouth as her tongue pried his lips apart.

While the possibility that he was already erect wasn't out if the question, Minako figured she could at the very least help him along before getting down to business. She kept circling her sugar-coated tongue around his, all the while reaching down to grope between Minato's legs.]

From:

mp3

[He'll accept the tongue, and the ice cream, his tongue rubbing against hers eagerly. It definitely was helping along, especially with the rubbing. You can probably feel him twitching, Minako!

... Though that isn't to say that he won't help either. His hand reaches up to grope her chest in response, lighting squeezing as their tongues moved along each other.]

From:

hasthepotential

[A soft moan rises from Minako's throat, and she lightly starts to pull at Minato's tongue with gentle suction as she raises her chest to more eagerly meet his touch. Tight peaks of her breasts peek through the thin fabric of her nightshirt, a more subtle but equally telling sign of her mutual arousal.

She takes the gesture as permission to reach further, and she slips a hand past the waistband of Minato's pajama pants, dragging her nails lazily past his navel and traveling her fingers down his stomach at an agonizingly slow pace.]

From:

mp3

Ah...

[That was pretty good, really! It got a reaction out of him, at least.

Though, as a result of her teasing, he'll do his own. His fingers feel for those little points in her shirt, pinching one lightly over the fabric, before tugging at the other.]

From:

hasthepotential

[The gasp broke their kiss, leaving Minako whimpering between breaths as her nipples responded to Minato's deliberate tugging. Her fingers finally made their way to his shaft, and with the tender pads of her fingertips, she circled beneath it and pulled it up into the warmth of her palm.

She propped herself up on her elbows, aiming for a better angle in which to reach him. She looked up to Minato, lips swollen and parted, searching for the right words...]

...don't...forget the ice cream...

From:

mp3

Mm, of course.

[He reaches for the ice cream, and the spoon, to gently scoop some of the ice cream out to rub and plant some on his dick, breath escaping once the cold feeling touches him. Though, at least it'll be met with a warm one soon, as he leans back slightly.]

Hurry, or it'll melt soon.

[It was a nice sight to have her between him at least, and his dick twitches in response, shifting the ice cream a bit.]
