El Was Comfortable With Alice. It Felt Like Theyd Known Each Other Forever, Which Clearly They Hadnt.

El was comfortable with Alice. It felt like they’d known each other forever, which clearly they hadn’t. In the dim light outside her building it was hard to tell hit Ellie was sure Alice was blushing, which caused her to grin. She had the same effect on her.

As she spoke of tomorrow, the girl nodded. “Yeah, I’ll see you tomorrow night.” But it was her next words that had her voice wavering when she spoke up. “H-how do you know? He always, always comes back.” It was true. He’d been in the diner a few other times, simply trying to get under her skin.

Ellie had worked at Donna’s Diner for nearly a year now. Working mostly the graveyard shifts she didn’t have many regulars, except her. Alice, the fiery woman that seemed to visit at least three times a week. She was quiet but she was always kind to El, even tipping generously. It had been three months since Alice began to visit, ordering the same meal every time, and every time the brunette found herself growing more and more excited to see her. Tonight wasn’t any different, it was your typical Wednesday. At least it was, up until Ellie’s ex showed up, the guy never been good to her and now was no exception. He came in to try and manipulate her back into the relationship but she knew better. He’d burned her too many times now for her to even think about going back. “I don’t want to go with you, Ronnie. First of all I’m at work, secondly? Do you not remember why I left you? I still have the scars to show for it.” The day she had left didn’t end well for her, the drug addict went berserk. They were in his car and he’d started freaking out, because she said she didn’t wanna se him anymore, and ultimately the he ran a light and the car was totaled. The pair barely made it out and she had no intentions of going back anytime soon. She made eye contact with Alice as Ronnie seemed to reach over the counter to grab Ellie’s hand. Maybe she’d call the cops, though she seems the type to handle it herself.

Friends With Benefits starters

"So, what are we exactly?"

"We're friends with benefits, no strings attached. Just enjoying each other's company without the pressure of a relationship."

"I'm starting to feel confused. Are we more than just friends with benefits?"

"Let's keep things simple. We agreed on this arrangement for a reason. No need to complicate things."

"Do you ever worry that our arrangement will affect our friendship?"

"I'm developing feelings for you, and it's becoming harder to separate emotions from our physical connection."

"I met someone I'm interested in, but I don't want it to affect our arrangement."

"We agreed that we're free to explore other connections."

"I need some space. This friends-with-benefits thing is getting too complicated for me."

"I want more than just physical intimacy. I want a real relationship with you."

"I'm worried this arrangement is preventing us from finding meaningful connections with other people."

"Our friendship should always come first."

"Can we still be friends if we decide to end the benefits part?"

"We started as friends, and our connection goes beyond physical intimacy."

"I'm starting to feel jealous when I see you with other people."

"I think I want to explore this friends-with-benefits thing with someone else."

"I'm enjoying our arrangement, but I'm worried it's holding me back from finding a committed relationship."

"I'm starting to catch feelings for you, and it's getting complicated."

"Can we set some ground rules to avoid any misunderstandings or hurt feelings?"

[text]: Hey, I'm craving some fun tonight. Are you up for a spontaneous adventure?

[text]: Just a reminder that our 'benefits' package comes with unlimited laughter and good times. Ready for another round?

[text]: I heard this new cocktail bar opened up in town. Want to be my partner in crime and check it out?

[text]: I have this idea for a game night at my place. Are you in?

[text]: I saw this movie that's meant to be 'strictly for adults.' Care to join me for a private screening at my place?

[text]: Feeling stressed lately. How about we release some tension with a friendly workout session?

It was perfect. The way Alice seemed to know exactly what Ellie liked as she deepened the kiss shocked the younger girl. A small whine left her lips as she felt the hand around her neck. Alice was perfect, this kiss was perfect. The brunette pulled away slowly, simply because she deemed it time to go inside. “Let’s take it inside, yeah?” A shy smile adorning her lips as she spoke.

Ellie slipped out of Alice’s hood and moved to unlock her door for the two of them. She turned back to the woman, reach for her hand to drag her inside the apartment. She hadn’t had anyone over since Ronnie, so she was definitely nervous. After closing the door behind her, she stood to the side nervously. “Did you want something to drink?” Their actions outside had nearly made her forget the whole point of her coming inside.

Bruises and Bruising

WORDS

“Where did you get those?”

“Is that…. somebody’s hand?”

“Is that… a bootprint?”

“It’ll look worse before it looks better.”

“Come on. Let’s get it wrapped up.”

“Do you want some painkillers?”

“Let me guess, I should ‘see the other guy’?”

“How’d you get a black eye?”

“I know you don’t do it on purpose, but I wish you’d stop coming home bruised.”

“I like the new look. It suits you.”

“Ouch, that looks like it hurts.”

“Talk to me.”

“You shouldn’t end up with bruises because you disagree with them. You know that, right?”

“Will you tell me how it happened?”

“Come and sit with me.”

ACTIONS

(send ‘+reverse’ to reverse the roles, or specify which muse is which!)

[sit] – sender comes and sits next to a bruised receiver. no words, just warmth.

[care] – sender provides physical care for receiver’s bruises (ice pack, wrapping them up, etc)

[shower] – sender takes one look at a bruised and bloody receiver, and goes to run them a shower. hot showers fix everything.

[offer] – sender has something they know receiver will want, and because receiver has had a bad enough day as it is, sender gives it to them. it’s the little things.

[stay] – sender offers receiver a place to stay, so that – wherever they got these bruises – they don’t have to go back.

[concussion] – sender checks receiver for a concussion, because it’s very possible receiver has one.

[home] – sender has no physical way of helping receiver out of this situation, but they offer out their hand anyway. just to hold onto (and to not let go).

Ellie’s eyes followed Alice’s gaze as she looked around the room. Her hands still shaking from the interaction with her ex, she gladly poured the girl a cup of coffee. It wasn’t every day she had an exceptionally kind and attractive woman saving her from the woes of her ex. As her mind finally registered the words first uttered from Alice, a blush crept up her cheeks. “You’re trouble, you know that?”

A small gasp left her lips as she was pulled away from the walkway and into the wall. Alice caged her in, hand moving up to tuck some of the girls fallen ponytail back behind her ear. It caused that same blush to creep up from her neck to the tips of her ears. “Do you want to come in for a, for a drink?” She hesitated some but only because she was worried she was seeing something that Alice wasn’t.
