You love fluff. Don't even lie. You do.
(you know you want it)

Source of the photo is here!
You know those days when the school is stressing you out or work is wearing you down and it seems like nothing will drag you out of your gloom, and then suddenly you and your friends find yourselves leaning all over each other laughing like dweebs at something really stupid and for some reason that just makes everything seem a little better?
Fluff is fun and you know it.
So grab a buddy, make like a marshmallow, and FLUFF.
INSTRUCTIONS:
‧ Post with whatever character you want
‧ Responders roll (random.org is good for this!) for scenario + type of contact (if desired) and get to threading!
‧ ???
‧ Profit!!
SCENARIO
1) SLUMBER PARTY!! You know what? Fuck that paper you have to write. Fuck responsibilities. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Maybe your friend called you up to drag you out of the monotony for a night, or maybe you're the one throwing in the towel and kidnapping a buddy to have some fun-- but either way, you're gonna order a pizza, break out the ice cream, and spend the night playing video games and watching movies with your bro! ... Or maybe you're gonna paint each other's nails and talk about crushes. Whatever keeps your mind off the work you have to get back to later.
2) Sick Day. One of you is under the weather and at home wrapped in blankets for some reason or another, be it a nasty flu bug or some sort of injury. Good thing someone's around to bring you tea and soup and patch you up... or stand over you intimidatingly to make sure you sit still and keep that thermometer in your mouth.
3) Cheer up! It's been a dirty, rotten, no good, really bad day. Maybe it's a bunch of nasty little things all adding up to a big dark stormcloud over one of your heads, or maybe something straight-up awful knocked the wind out of their sails and left them on their knees. Either way, one of you is here to cheer the other up.
4) Got your back, bro. Maybe they're not just sad because of something beyond their control-- maybe there's been some bullying going on, or a big fight coming up. Either way you want to let them know you're gonna be right behind them, ready to hand out some righteous ass-whuppins on their behalf. Maybe that's what you've already done! True friendship, people. True friendship.
5) FOOD. Are you two being saccharinely sweet and sharing a dessert? Or maybe you guys got stuck in the kitchen making a last-minute meal for guests or a party. Either way, cooperation is the key. Otherwise one of you might get stuck having to explain the presence of half-cooked pancakes stuck to the ceiling, or how the other person managed to get a spoonful of ice cream stuck up their nose.
6) Sorry... So, uh, yeah. There was a fight. Doesn't matter what it was about... it wasn't worth losing a friend over. So one of you's decided to man (or woman) up and apologize. And hope to dear god that they've had enough time to cool off.
7) Sun's out! Let's go exploring! It is a sublimely perfect blue-skied day, and the whole world is out there. Drag your friend out on a picnic-hike in the hills, or take to the streets and see what kinds of wonders you can find hiding in between the sidewalk cracks.
8) Rain, rain, go away... It's pouring cats and dogs out. Maybe you guys hastily ducked into a building for shelter or maybe you've been holed up all day, slowly going stir-crazy with cabin fever... Time for blanket forts, board games, and maybe bothering the hell out of anyone who's too much of a sourpuss to be entertaining. ... Or cuddles. Cuddles are good, too.
9) CONFESSION TIME. You've got a secret, and it's a secret that you've been longing to express to this person. Are you in love? Do you have a dark past or inner fear that you're a little scared they'll judge you for? Or are you the one who accidentally spilled the punch bowl all over their carpet at a party ages ago and were too embarrassed to say anything before now?
10) Don't hate-- appreciate! Yeah, so this person means a LOT to you. By hook or by crook, today you're going to show them just how much you appreciate them. How are you gonna do this? ... Well, that's up to you!
Physical Contact:
1) Hugging. Whether it's a gentle slip-your-arms-around embrace or an all-out bear hug, almost everybody loves to be held sometimes. Share a quiet moment together or greet your pal by knocking the wind out of them with a rib-crusher.
2) Kissing. GIVE YOUR AUNTIE SOME SUGAH. Or maybe they're your significant other. I don't know. Whether it's romantic and tender or playful and silly, let's see some smoochin' up in here.
3) Holding hands. You don't always have to say anything to let somebody know you're there for them-- sometimes just taking their hand says more than enough.
4) Carrying. Time to give your shorter buddy a boost to get somewhere high-- or maybe they're slowing you down in an urgent situation and it's time to piggy-back them out of danger. Or maybe you just feel like carrying someone around. Look at them, using their legs to get places! How silly. You just wanna scoop 'em up and tote them around.
5) Massaging. Holy crud, you're sore in places you didn't even know you had. Good thing you've got some outside help on loosening those muscles, because you'd probably make it worse if you tried it yourself. Or maybe you're the one giving someone a nice back/shoulder/neck/foot/belly/nose??? rub at the end of a long day.
6) Tickling. Maybe your friend hasn't been smiling too much lately and could use some encouragement-- or maybe they've been bugging you and it's time to teach them a playful lesson. Just watch out for retaliation!
7) Cuddling. No better cure for loneliness or nightmares (or maybe just being a little cold) than curling up with somebody under a blanket! Maybe you're flopped on the couch or maybe you're in bed, but either way, snuggling up to whoever's next to you seems like a good idea right now.
8) Wild Card! Mix and match, or make something up!

I looked at the clock when you got up and then later when I noticed you weren't injecting caffeine directly into the vein, I looked at the clock again.
Not exactly rocket science.
no subject
That still doesn't mean I'm terminally ill.
[At some point, this WILL begin to sound like a plea or something.]
There's absolutely no reason to act like it when it's just a bit of cold.
no subject
Coop, you're like, what. Forty?
[DISS.
she doesn't actually think he's forty.]Act your age and just put the damn thing in your mouth.
no subject
[If he were twenty years younger he'd roll his eyes, but he is adult and mature!! and so does not do it. He just looks at her for a while and then finally relents, putting it in his mouth and keeping it in place with his tongue, very much disliking the act.]
no subject
[Needless to say, she puffs up triumphantly when he finally mans up and puts it in his mouth.]
There. See? That wasn't so hard.
no subject
[And he doesn't really answer, but after the time has passed he takes it out of his mouth, looks at the numbers (not TOO bad, right?) and hands it to her, because he KNOWS she'd fight him otherwise.]
no subject
100.6
That's called a fever, Cooper.
no subject
[How he manages to sound sort of dismissive AND grumpy AND even at the same time is impressive, but he does.]
It's a natural defense mechanism, Heather. There's absolutely no reason to act differently because of it.
[So leave him to go about his business, okay.]
no subject
no subject
[HAHA COLD COOP try the flu.]
no subject
[But Heather's fairly confident she doesn't need to resort to that tactic yet. Instead she opts for folding her arms.]
You're absolutely right!
There's no way to cure a cold.
... Which is why you're supposed to lie down and drink tea and fuckin' REST. You know. So that it GOES AWAY. ON ITS OWN.
no subject
[No, actually, he doesn't mind tea at all (and he knows that coffee is BAD if you're sick), but you're looking at a guy who seriously CANNOT REST. He didn't rest after taking a bullet and he sure as hell isn't going to rest over a
flucold.][Not that there's a murderer to catch here or anything, but there are still a ton of better things he could be doing than lie down and stare at a ceiling. (It lets him think. Thinking isn't good for him.)]
[So he's actually standing now, facing the argument head on. He's arguing calmly. But still arguing.]
When the mind is applied the body possesses extraordinary recuperative--
[COUGH oh god damn it, there goes the point he was making.]
no subject
[She just gives him a knowing look when he starts coughing. As if to say 'See? SEE?']
no subject
[Because okay he can't argue with super obvious symptoms like that.]
[He coughs into a fist for a short while and then goes into the kitchen BY HIS OWN ACCOUNT IT'S A MIRACLE and fills up a glass of water, cause that feels better. And also fluids are good for you.]
[No need to look so smug behind him there Heather, he can SENSE it.]
no subject
[You bet she's looking super smug behind him.]
[She's also waiting to see if he does anything besides water, though.]
no subject
[He gives her a kind of blank look and goes to return to the living room, fully intending to flop down and pick up the crosswords again or something.]
[And also fully expecting Heather to comment, so he's kind of bracing himself.]
no subject
[SHE IS APPEASED. FOR NOW.]
[And she's gonna rub it in.]
I'm proud of you.
no subject
[He sighs as he sits down and looks up at her, in that kind of wow what am I putting up with-way.]
Is there anything else you'd like to add?
no subject
[Heather leans on the back of the chair.]
Whenever I got sick when I was little, I used to get stickerbooks.
Want a stickerbook?
They pass the time really well.
[Now she's absolutely just teasing him for the sake of teasing him.]
no subject
I have a distinct feeling that if I were to accept your offer those stickers would wind up anywhere but the book.
no subject
I'm not completely immature!
no subject
[HA.]
no subject
[... Like anyone would believe that.]
no subject
All the same, I think I'll decline.
no subject
Your loss.
