soundslikej:
give me two characters I write (from two different canons or two different bands, please), and a prompt, and I'll tell you about one time they kiss.
anything from my interests is fair game, as is anything you've seen me flailing over recently. responses likely, but not guaranteed.

I cheated a little :D
She poked at the pile of legal documents, hoping they would magically unravel into the lovely sense-making sort of texts she dimly remembered her textbooks at UCLA being. She did get good marks, or she wouldn't have been here, but this was beyond everything she's ever attempted before.
Someone cleared their throat and she looked up, blinking until she recognized one of the counsels. In fact, the very counsel who had asked Tennessee to help out with research. The unfairly attractive counsel who had asked Tennessee for help, even.
"I'm dreadfully sorry, Ms. Hayes," she said before she could stop herself.
"Why's that?" Tennessee really liked her smile. It was quite unfortunate that she was about to stop smiling because Tennessee who should never have been allowed into law school, let alone given a White House internship.
"Because I can't find what you need, you see, and so you won't be able to finish the brief tonight--"
Ms Hayes waved her silent. "I knew it was a tough one when I gave it to you," she said. "The thing is, Sam Seaborn doesn't think we can do this, but Sam is often wrong, and since we have until the morning to finish the brief, I thought I'd come out here and help you look for the answer we need."
Tennessee blinked. "You really--you do believe there's an answer."
"I do. I think it's in that pile, and I think we're going to order pizza and then stay here until we figure it out."
"It's that important to, er, show up Sam?"
Ms Hayes looked a little embarrassed for a second. "No," she said, "Well, yes, but also, the president wants this."
That was that.
And it was four hours later, while debating the relative merits of fish and chips, that Tennessee found what they needed, and it was ten hours later, shifting a laptop between them, that they finished the brief, and then it was another hour before Ms Hayes told Tennessee to call her Ainsley and sent her home to sleep.
The kiss, that didn't happen until the last day of Tennessee's internship. But it was well worth the wait.
