the end of my rope romantic tension meme

We've all seen it in fiction or witnessed it in real life - or been a part of it. A pair that's so attracted to each other ( or maybe clearly in love with each other) that it nearly creates a presence of its own. But, as of yet, they've not acted on this. They're dancing around the issue, one or both of them is ignorant despite EVERYONE ELSE knowing, or they're just the type to ignore all that guff. It's awkward, though, for everyone involved. And eventually... ...something's gotta give. Something's gotta burst. Your character and whoever responds to you have had this sort of tension building up between you for a while now. Handwaved interaction and assumed CR are key here! It doesn't have to be your typical romcom or tsundere arguing couple. Cute little crushes, secret longings, and serious feelings all welcome. It can even be sexual tension rather than purely romantic. The characters have yet to explore anything - now, though, they have no choice since it's right there, unable to be avoided. How to Play Both know. One is oblivious. Sudden realization. Tension Type Both know. One is oblivious. Sudden realization. Break Reason Argument They're downing themselves. They're downing you. Playful moment turns more. Cruelty gone wrong. Teasing gone too far. They're just too cute! They show you kindness. They mention someone else. You're jealous. You've planned to reveal how you feel. A serious, life-defining moment. This is your last and only chance. What Happens? Matter-of-fact confession. Over-the-top confession. Interrupted by everything - including the other person.

Shutting-you-up kiss. Passionate kiss. Hug/embrace. Make out. Decisions on where the relationship stands. They feel they have to reject you for your own sake. Flat-out unrequited.
