Some Domestic Prompts

some domestic prompts

going furniture shopping, not agreeing on what couch to buy

playing hide and seek/tag at 🇸🇪 IKEA 🇸🇪 and being kicked out of the store, alternatively, accidentally knocking down a huge shelf, your partner quickly paying for the damage, then dragging you out of the store before the manager can come scream at you

showering together

actually showering together

coming across a song you heard on your first date, sharing a smile with each other as memories from that night is brought back

arguing about whether or not to sleep with the window opened or closed

sharing a closet, because at this point, you spend more time in your partner's clothes than you do your own

surprising your partner with a huge bouquet of flowers

coming home after a long day of work to find your partner asleep on the couch, placing a gentle kiss on their forehead

almost burning the house down while making dinner because you're too busy making-out

every friday is date night

i told you so moments that drive you both insane

every friday that isn't date night is made up for on the weekend

remodeling the bathroom and being horrified at your partner's terrible design suggestions

trying to have a conversation with your partner but they randomly decide to splash their glass of water in your face, having had enough of being serious

baking cookies together but your partner is more interested in eating the dough and tasting you

falling asleep in each other's arms while watching a movie

your partner is sick and decides to sleep on the couch, but you're used to sleeping next to each other so you spend the night there as well

trying to assemble 🇸🇪 IKEA 🇸🇪 furniture together, but it's 1am and we're none the wiser so let's just have sex instead

telling your partner they look good in everything but then one day they come home one with a hideous shirt, and you're not sure whether to lie or insult their fashion sense

surprising each other at work, knowing it's a stressful day

eating take-out on the floor of your living room, having just moved into your new apartment

buying a wedding ring and hiding it in your closet, almost exposing yourself because you can't act normal around your partner

bonding with your partner's parents by looking at photos from your partner's childhood

helping your partner into the shower, undressing and cleaning them up when they're too upset to do it themselves

having to pull your partner out of bed when they refuse to get up

having to pull your partner out of bed, but you're the one who ends up being pulled back into it

being told not to carry all groceries into the house in one go but doing so anyway, only for your partner to sigh loudly when you end up accidentally dropping everything on the pavement

your partner gifts you a plant on your birthday. they think you have entirely too many but they know it's gonna make you happy

In the words of my brother: ‘The definition of alpha.’

Not random at all!

Reasons For Your Characters To Hate Each Other

Bad first impression: When A and B meet, A is in a bad mood. They’re snappier than usual and make a rude remark / completely ignore B. B decides then and there that they hate A, causing A to hate B back.

Bad reputation: B has been told time and time again that A is bad news (e.g A is mean, shallow, manipulative, stuck up, etc.). When they meet A, they decide not to give A a chance and presume the worst of them.

Association: A associates B with a bad person / a bad time in their life. For example, B is friends/related to A’s worst enemy or B had something to do with a bad experience that A had. B isn’t directly responsible for anything bad in A’s life, A just associated them with bad things and therefore dislikes them.

Conflicting ideas: Even if they’re on the same side, they may both have different ideas/opinions that they’re unwilling to give up.

Misunderstanding: Very simple. A believes that B wronged them in some way or that B is a bad person when, in reality, B did nothing wrong.

One of them has something that the other one wants: Jealousy is a vicious force, whether it’s for something physical, something emotional, or anything else. Your character might be jealous that the other one has a relationship, opportunities, acceptance, etc.

They simply don’t mesh: They feel like their personalities don’t work together. They may see the other as boring, stuck up, too loud, too quiet, stubborn or a million other things.
