Happy to hear from you again! I was actually going to ask you to beta read it once it's done, if you don't mind. ;)
The problem is not that I think it's inappropriate for the situation or the character. Strangely enough, I think it's extremely fitting (and it's not like I wrote it to show everyone my pretty quote ;)). I was just surprised because I didn't expect this to happen, I didn't expect him to say anything even remotely profound in that situation. Ah, I don't know. I was just weirded out by myself. One of these "WTF what are my characters doing?"-moments, I'm sure you know what I mean.
The problem is that the giftee doesn't want brainless porn. She did ask for a pairing and certain kinks, but I don't think she just wants these characters to have quick sex in a corner and get it over with. I'm not unhappy with the assignment, I'm unhappy with my way of handling it. Mhm, I'll just force myself to write something tomorrow, and then see how I can polish that draft. (Except that I wanted to write at least the first draft yesterday and today, and failed.)
I find it incredibly difficult to write for prompts as well, which is why I usually don't do it. In this case, though, it was a prompt exchange, and I thought that writing a fic for someone else wasn't so bad if it meant getting a fic I wanted written. :)
