I DON'T KNOW THAT I KNOW YOU



It's funny how you can get close to someone without even really knowing who they are. This is a meme capitalizing on that particular trope: you know this person...but you have no idea that you know them as well as you do.

How to Play:
  1. Post with your character | fandom | and any preferences.
  2. Be sure to mention any scenarios you are interested or not interested in playing.
  3. Tag Others.
  4. Be awesome to each other.
  5. Have fun!



Use the RNG to help you pick or choose on your own!




PROMPTS
( stolen from this post on Tumblr. )
  1. My friend can’t stop talking about how they want to set me up with their other friend so we start texting each other and they’re hilarious but shy about meeting and also there’s a cute bike delivery person who brings my mail at work and winks at me whenever I sign for a package.
  2. I’m obsessed with a food blogger who writes about cheap ways to be gourmet in your 20s and I flirt with them over comments but they never post pictures of their face and also there’s a really cute grocery bagger at the store down the street who teases me and always asks to join me for dinner and I definitely want to say yes.
  3. There’s an overnight IT person at school who always answers the phone when I call about a problem with my computer and I totally have a crush on their voice and their exasperation and also the bakery down the street is always running out of my fave scones and the adorable person behind the counter can’t hide their amusement and I think it’s super rude but also super cute
  4. My boss is always telling me how perfect her son would be for me and she promises he’s coming to the next holiday party and don’t worry he’s heard all about me too and also there’s this dude I slept with once a couple of months ago and sometimes he still sends me dick pics when I ask him to at 3 in the morning cause seriously dude’s got a good dick.
  5. Our kids are bitter rivals and the only time we ever meet is when we’re both called to the principal’s office and whatever maybe I think you’re kind of cute but your kid’s a monster and also someone keeps buying the last everything bagel at my favorite coffee shop 2 minutes before I get there in the morning and has heard about my plight and has started leaving me bragging notes about it.
  6. I hired a dog walking company and I’ve never met the person who comes to my apartment, but they leave me really cute notes and they give my dog presents and I kind of love them because my dog does and also one of the artists at this gallery opening is hella cute and I want them to paint me like one of their French girls.
  7. I've been chatting with this person online for ages and we have the same interests and sense of humor and everything about them makes me happy, I adore them and also there's this new person at work that I've been training and, okay, maybe we've been flirting a little.
  8. Not interested in any of the options or have an idea of your own? Do your own thing; you do you!

No, no, no, this wasn't happening. Melody had been working for hours on finishing this paper, it was a huge part of her grade for the semester, and now her computer was saying the file was corrupted. If she lost all of her work, she was going to have to call out of work tomorrow morning to redo it and she could not afford to lose her job at the bakery. The hours were perfect with her class schedule and she loved working there since her mom and dad met working at a bakery. It just seemed right.

She took a deep breath to try and calm herself. Too bad she hadn't seen Micah recently and borrowed his power. Then she'd be able to fix this with a mere thought. No, at the moment, she had her mom's ability, which was handy for not getting sick or hurt, but wasn't going to help her pass American History.

Okay, the only thing she could do was call IT. Maybe that guy with the voice she liked would be working. Even if he couldn't figure out how to retrieve her paper, it would be soothing to listen to him talk for a while. It should probably worry her that she had to call often enough to have the number memorized.

S.T.A.R. Lab had closed on account of the explosion that had killed and injured so many people, cloaking the company in shame while it was at it and Cisco had been left without a job.

On a lark, he'd taken some crappy call center kind of job, figuring it'd at least scratch a little itch because it was overnight IT support for the local university. It wasn't actually a bad gig, really. It paid all right; it was a huge pay cut, but it was better than he'd probably end up doing anywhere else right now. S.T.A.R. Lab former employees weren't exactly a hot commodity right now.

"Campus IT," he answered, stifling a yawn behind his hand as he reached out with one hand to mute the mic so the caller wouldn't hear it. He unmuted again and leaned back in his chair. "How can I help you?"

It was him. Melody smiled, even though he couldn't see her through the phone lines. She could hear her brother mocking her for having a crush on some guy's voice, but she couldn't help herself.

"Hey, it's my favorite IT guy," she said. "I'm really hoping you can help. My computer's saying that my file is corrupted and I've been working on this paper for hours."

At the response, Cisco grinned a little and sat up again, a quiet huff of amusement escaping him. "It's my favorite technologically inept co-ed," he replied genially. She called a lot, he'd noticed, and he kind of liked it when she did because her tech issues were always easy fixes and she wasn't the type of caller that seemed to blame him for her own mistake just because he was on the other end of the phone trying to help her fix it.

Lacing his fingers together in front of himself and cracking his knuckles, Cisco nudged the table and the movement of the mouse brought his screen to life again. "Geez, I thought eventually you'd call me with an actual challenge!" he laughed. "All right, do me a favor click once on the file in its folder, right click and copy, then paste it onto your desktop so that we have another version of it to try to fix if the first attempt fails. Let me know when you've got that done and we'll get started."

"They might not challenge you, but they stress me out," Melody pointed out as she followed his instructions. She was a little bit Type A when it came to her studies, knowing that she needed to have an exemplary record in college if she wanted to get hired on by the SGC after graduation. Her lineage wasn't enough to guarantee that, nor would she want it to be.

She huffed a little. "Okay, I've got the copy made," she said. "Now what?"

"And then you call me and I ruin your night by making you look like a computer novice, I know, I'm the worst," Cisco teased back. "Okay, now, in Word, go to File, Open, and chose the file. Just click it once, don't double click to try to open. Just click it once to select it and then you see down toward the bottom of that little window where it says, like, File Name and there's a handful of drop down menus? There should be one that has 'Open' selected by default, you see that?"

While he waited for her to find it, Cisco opened a game of Minesweeper on his desktop and started to play. "Okay, once you've got that, then you want to click on the drop down where it has 'Open' and you want to choose 'Open and Repair.' That should do it. If it doesn't, I've got a couple other workarounds to try, but give that a shot first. You might lose a little bit of data that way, but losing a page is better than losing the whole document, right?"

"If this works, you will be doing the opposite of ruining my life," Melody assured him. The idea of losing hours of hard work made her want to cry. "It's doing that hourglass thing."

She impatiently tapped her nails against her desk while she waited to see if this worked. "So, IT guy, what do you do when you're not rescuing technologically inept co-eds?"

Cisco laughed a little. "Whoa, I didn't realize I was a life ruiner this whole time. Ay Dios mio, I thought I was just ruining your nights," he teased. "That's fine, it'll take a minute to try to recover the data. Let me know what it says when it's done."

That...was a loaded question. "Right now? Not much else besides looking for a job more my speed. The job search to get back into a lab hasn't been going all that well, though, so this'll do. Besides, what would you do without me if I wasn't here? You wouldn't cheat on me with another IT guy, right? Because that would really hurt my feelings."

"You're gonna leave me?" Mel asked. "I'll never graduate."

Man, how pathetic was she? Unlike her older brother, she hadn't met her life mate practically in the womb. In fact, her history with dating was abysmal, something her family never got tired of mocking her about. They would think she was ridiculous for having a tiny crush on a guy who was nothing more than a voice on the other end of the phone.

"I guess it's a good thing I like my job. If you abandon me, I can become a full time baker."

"I'm a mechanical engineer, I can't stay on the phones forever," Cisco pointed out with a grin.

If he was honest, this girl was probably the only thing he'd miss about this job. He sure as hell wasn't going to miss the pay. He did enjoy their banter, though, whenever she called in.

"Oh, come on now, at this rate, you'll graduate before I get out of here anyway. Then what am I supposed to do when my favorite girl doesn't give her weekly call because her computer hates her, huh? Who's the selfish one now?" he joked.

"Wow, you're a mechanical engineer?" That meant he had to be crazy smart. She knew some of the engineers who worked for the SGC. "One of my dads is a pilot in the Air Force."

Cameron would never let her hear the end of it if she asked for a favor to potentially get a boy a job. Especially a boy she never actually met in person. "I could always get a new computer, I guess."

Speaking of, she realized that her file finally finished processing and his fix had recovered it. "You are my favorite person ever," Mel declared. "I got my paper back."

"Yeaaaap," he replied, drawing the word out with a little frown. Had been, anyway, before the Particle Accelerator explosion sullied the names of anyone who'd worked on the thing...including Cisco's. "Oh, cool."

Cisco smiled a little. "You could, but then what if that one hates you, you'll be really screwed once you graduate and I'm not there to magically fix all of your problems," he pointed out playfully.

"Oh, nice, I was a little worried we'd have to try a few other fixes, but that's sweet. Maybe next time you'll call me with a real problem," he joked. "...anything else I can help you with?" And okay, maybe he was only asking because he wasn't really ready to go back to minesweeper all night and she sounded hot. Shut up, he thought to no one in particular that he imagined was criticizing that thought, that's a thing. People can sound hot.

Melody found herself oddly reluctant to end the call. It wasn't like she deliberately found ways to break things so she would have an excuse to call IT as often as she did, but she really didn't mind calling, especially when he was working.

And she realized that she didn't even know IT Guy's name. Mitch would have a field day.

"Yeah, where's the IT office anyway?" she asked. "I assume you're here on campus somewhere."

That was kind of a random question, Cisco thought, but he shrugged a little to himself and leaned back in his chair. "Uh...yeah, it's in the computer science building," he replied. "Why?"

Oh man. That was super awkward, wasn't it? Mel grimaced and wished she hadn't asked. But since she had, she should tell him why she asked.

"Well, I was thinking maybe I could send you cookies or something," she admitted. "Is that totally weird?"

Cisco laughed. "That would be the best kind of weird," he replied. "But uh, I'm not usually in here, though, is the thing. I usually work remotely from home. My internet's down, though, they're working on the whole street tomorrow, I guess, but anyway that's why I'm in tonight. Usually, it's just easier to work from home."

"Oh. Well, it was a silly idea anyway," Melody said, feeling embarrassed about even suggesting it. Why would he even want cookies from some stranger he didn't know anything about. Other than her complete and utter idiocy with computers.

So, yeah, she should probably just end the call now. "Thanks for rescuing my paper."

Cisco frowned a little. The idea of finally meeting the face behind the hot voice was more appealing than he actually wanted it to be. "Nah, that would've been cool," he countered. "Sorry I suck."

"Any time. ...you've got a backup for the file, now, right? On a flash drive or something? Just in case," he prompted.

Hmm. He actually sounded kind of disappointed. Maybe Mel wasn't as crazy as she thought she was. "Uh, yeah, I'm doing that right now," she said, rustling through her desk drawer until she came up with a flash drive shaped like an airplane.

"Have you ever been to the Sunshine Bakery?" she blurted out. "That's where I work. If you ever want to stop in for cookies."

"Okay, good. Actually, if you copy all of that text and paste it into a new Word document, you might be safer still, before you save it down to a flash," Cisco pointed out, glad for a reason to elongate the conversation just a little bit more.

Her question caught him off guard and it took him a second. She worked there...and he went there every morning, practically, only to almost always find that the chocolate chip muffins were gone and he had to settle for blueberry. The girl that worked behind the counter always seemed to find his suffering in that vein endlessly amusing, but she was cute, so he let it slide. Every day. "...yeah, yeah, I've been there. I might have to do that. With my luck, the chocolate chip will be gone when I do, though," he replied, just the teensiest twinge of bitterness creeping into his voice with that last bit.

"... wait. You're chocolate chip muffin guy?" Mel asked.

She totally knew who he was, thought he was really cute, and had often considered putting a chocolate chip muffin aside for him some day but hadn't quite worked up the courage yet.

"What kind of nick name is that?" Cisco rebuked, huffing a laugh. Talk about embarrassing, he was more recognizable about his consternation in reference to the unavailability of chocolate chip muffins in the morning.

Melody chuckled. "Sorry," she said, though her tone wasn't exactly apologetic. "I didn't know your name. You're just always the guy who wants chocolate chip and gets stuck with blueberry."

How had she not managed to recognize his voice? Probably because it sounded just different enough over the phone. What a weird coincidence.

"Come by tomorrow morning," she said. "I'll save you a chocolate chip muffin."

"Because who runs out of chocolate chip at 8:00am, man?" he countered with a laugh. "Like, okay, if I came in at ten, then that'd be my fault, but geez."

Leaning back in his chair again, Cisco smiled a little. She'd save him one. Trusting that he'd still show up, trusting that she wouldn't be wasting the $2.15 after tax by holding it back for him to come in. "Cool, I'll be there."
