THE LOOK OF LOVE SMUT MEME

You know the exact moment when it comes up in the movies or on television. The hero or heroine is looking at their companion, whom they've been around for a while now but perhaps not always been on the easiest of terms with, depending, and you can see it right in their gaze: their love. They're falling and falling hard, it's obvious from their face. They just can't keep the softness from their eyes, the fondness from playing at their lips; everyone can read that book. In the stories, this look - and the subsequent realization of the feelings that caused it - can come at any time, though usually it comes after the pair have been incredibly close or one half of the pairing is looking incredibly beautiful or handsome. You can't help it when they're just so lovable! This meme is similar, with one marked difference: instead of pure, innocent intentions as often comes in the motion pictures and television shows, this "look of love" has something carnal to it, as well, no matter how demure that may be. You don't just want to be with them forever and always, on some level, you also want to BE with them, if you know what we mean. What direction players can take with this idea is up to them. The "look" can appear during a rather perfect, romantic, or cute moment as it often does in media, or in contrast to a typical Disney-esque moment, during sex. Wouldn't it be inopportune for an expression of adoration to appear during what's supposed to be a no-strings-attached fucking session? Huh, that would be pretty embarrassing. No matter what comes first, the look or the smut, there's a few questions that bear asking. Will the character recognize their realization as a realization at all? Will their feelings be returned? Will there be a confession? What about the mood? If the other character even notices how they're being looked at, could it be something the don't want? Most importantly, there are some characters who tightly guard their expressions and, if they feel emotions, don't let them show. If they suddenly have the feelings seeping through, how will they respond to that? To be fair, it is a truly magical moment. Comment with your character, canon, and preferences. Reply to others! Be creative and have fun. See how far you can stretch the theme. What can you write using expressions combined with dialogue and action?
