Short Prompt #70
“Wait, so you both fight in complete silence? The entire time?”
Other Hero stared at them with something akin to shock. At least they put in an effort to close their gaping mouth.
“I think they’re shy,” Hero mumbled, staring at the little whirlpool they were making in their drink with their straw.
“Have you tried talking first? Stirring up some banter?”
“...I’m shy.”
Prompt 28
The hero dropped to the ground, beside where the villain lay. “Oh my god. How can I help?”
The villain winced from the pain. “I don’t think there’s anything you can … You know what? Fuck it. Could you pretend that you love me, just for a moment?”
“[Villain], I do love you.”
The villain smiled weakly. “Thank you, dear. You really are a wonderful actor.”
Person A: You love me, right, __?
Person B: Normally, I’d say yes without hesitation, but I feel like this is going somewhere & I don’t like it.
Short Prompt #1273
"I've always had a soft spot for you..." the villain trailed off with a sigh. "Clearly, that has been a mistake."
The sidekick shook beneath their gaze, hardly able to move in their restraints. "V-Villain, I swear it wasn't me! Y-You have to believe me!"
"I don't have to do anything," Villain scoffed, leaning down to their apprentice's level. "But I will do something."
Sidekick squirmed anxiously under their mentor's gaze as the villain growled, "I will find out who the fuck stole my lunch."
Thought #208
Warnings: swearing
Hero struggled against Guards tight grip.
Villain sat in a chair across from them crocheting a blanket. Counting under their breath.
"You're who everybody fears? You're crocheting a fucking blanket. So scary."
Villain stopped counting and slowly looked at Hero.
"Oh boy. You fucked up." Guard said with a chuckle. "You messed up their counting. You never mess up the counting."
Prompt #233
“You’re not as scary as you think you are,” Villain said.
“Really?” Other Villain said, raising a brow. “Have you ever considered I’m just too nice to you?”
Short Prompt #1317
"Are you certain we can't do this the hard way?" the civilian asked, leaning forward in their restraints. "I mean, come on. I was expecting something much more exciting than this!"
The villain could only shake their head in disbelief. "You are truly the strangest hostage I've ever kidnapped. You want me to beat you up?!"
Writing Prompt #2455
"I don't think I love you," she admitted. "I don't know if I ever did. And that isn't your fault—it's mine. I just can't...fix that."
Short Prompt #1322
"Oh, I wanna beat you up so bad," the villain walked back and forth across the small room, already regretting this team-up. "I–"
"Do it."
"W-What?" Villain paused, looking at the hero in surprise. "You want... What?"
Hero sighed and reluctantly approached them. "You gain power from people's suffering. So if you snap a few bones of mine... you might be able to break us out of here."
Oddly obscure Friends-to-Lovers prompts that I'll probably add to.
I'm uh, sorry? Requests are open, and please do not add to this list. I'm sure I have more somewhere in my brain, lol.
WARNINGS: Mention of drowning, mention of death, possible cursing. Alcohol.
SCENARIOS
1) We’re having a movie night, just like we’ve always done. Your thigh is touching mine, and my thoughts won’t stop wandering.
2) We both just got off work, and I’m walking you home just like any other night, you trip on an unfortunate pebble. Just before you hit the ground, I caught you with one arm around your waist.
3) Throughout our childhood, it was always you getting sick, never me. You nearly passed out next to me with fevers higher than imaginable, but I was fine. Now, I’m bedridden and you won’t stop freaking out.
4) This is your favorite song, and apparently there’s an option to sing a duet. Oh… you want me to sing? It’s a love song? We’ll be right next to each other? Oh. Okay.
5) You’re drunk, bent over a bar with a grin splayed on your lips. You’re clinging to me, and won’t let me fish your keys out of your pocket/bag, guess we’re taking my car.
6) I step outside to find a thank you note for helping you/picking you up/getting groceries for you, stuck to a plate of baked pie/cookies/cake. Oh my god, how can I make you bake more? …Why are your cheeks red?
7) My roommate/ex/family kicked me out into the rain. I have nobody else to call but you.
8) Your roommate/ex/family kicked you out, and it’s pouring outside. In my pajamas/loungewear, yet I ran to my car to pick you up.
9) This is the stupidest thing we’ve ever done, I tell you, but I don't have the heart to remove your fingers from my wrist.
10) You’ve always been a stoic nightmare who never smiles, laughs, or does anything remotely animated. But one night, you actually laughed and I think I felt my heart skip a beat.
11) There’s one bed, and I know we’ve shared beds for years, but your arm is around my hips, my back is against your chest, and your breath keeps brushing my neck.
12) I’m trying to hold you, and I can feel every little thing about you. Why did I agree to sleeping here with you again?
13) Ohmygod, I know I just said I love you, and I truly did mean it, but then your eyes flicker with something I’ve never seen, and maybe I don’t feel so bad anymore?
14) We’re arguing because of something stupid, and every single time I think it’s finally over, you scream, “But why do you care?!” And I respond with the only thing I can think of, “Because I love you!” @screnwriter lmao.
15) Saying I love you after I just nearly drowned shouldn’t be as hot as it is, but I can’t seem to stop staring at your lips. Whoops?
16) We’ve been friends since childhood, and I’ve accepted that we’re just not meant to be. I’ve moved on and encouraged you to follow your dreams. I didn’t know that your dream was me.
17) You and I’ve been friends since we were kids, and suddenly when I’m about to leave for vacation/college/moving, you let out that you can’t let me go without saying I love you.
18) All week, you’ve been on my mind, and I can’t make you go away. Finally, after suffering in silence for so long at the thought of your lips, your laugh, and your smile, I give in and ask you to come to my apartment.
19) What the hell are we doing in this closet? Why did you drag me in here? Why are you so close? Why do I want you to be closer?
20) “This is bad,” I whisper, with my hands wrapped around your hips, because I know that if you give in, I’m wrapped around your finger. “Maybe,” you whisper, leaning closer, “maybe this is a good kind of bad, hm?” and pull me into a kiss.
21) You need help tying the back of your dress/fixing your cufflinks, and my fingers keep scraping against your skin. How are you so warm? And how are you acting like I’m not right behind/in front of you?
22) We’re ice skating, just like we used to when we were kids, but then you slip. I break your fall by offering myself up for tribute, and suddenly, we’re a whole lot closer.
23) You offer to make me tea when I’m sick, and for some reason, I have the urge to kiss you. Deliriously, I ask if I can. We came to an agreement that I can kiss you after I stop sneezing.
24) I know you love rollercoasters, but I get so sick while riding them, and I’m not sure if I can stomach another one–oh, you’re holding my hand?
25) Every Sunday morning before work/church/school/a hobby, you come in for coffee. We chat a little bit each time, and I feel like we’re some sort of friends now. Today, I finally gained the courage to write my number on your cup.
26) Family vacations are a whole lot more awkward when you and I can’t stop staring at each other, and you know that they’re going to catch on if we don’t stop, right? But we don’t, and instead, it just gets worse.
27) You’re in a swimsuit. I don't know what to do but stand here and look awkward, because that’s more skin than I thought I’d ever see on you.
28) We’re roommates, and I walk in on you changing. You yelp. I yelp. I never forget what I saw, I’m sure you never forget what I walked in on. I think it’s time we have a chat about this.
29) Did you know that if you love someone enough, your heart can palpitate? I didn’t, well, not until you walked into the room.
30) It’s your birthday and everyone forgot. Everyone except me. We sit down at a nearby park/in your apartment/on the roof/in a tree, and I finally give you my present.
31) You just got rejected from a date/prom night, and I promise you, your crush is missing out on you. I don’t know how to convince you other than sit here, hold you, and pretend that I don’t wish you’d see what’s in front of you.
32) I never wanted to ruin what we had, but you’re making it so hard not to utter those three words.
33) I know you’re angry that I got hurt, but you’re patching up a cut on my face/chest, and you’re really close.
34) I invited you over after a rough night, the stench of cheap beer on both of our breaths. For some reason I can’t get my mind off of the way you laugh, or how you threw everything aside to come comfort me.
35) I’m trying to work up the courage to tell you how I feel, but everyone and everything seems to be against us doing this. Your friends, my friends, a random phone call from a telemarketer that I nearly cussed out. Okay, look, I love you.
36) Work has me exhausted, and I don’t want to think anymore, and I just can’t hold back from mumbling I love you into your hair. Uh, sorry.
37) We always snuggle, and this shouldn’t be any different, but I’m trying not to press my lips to yours because they’re right there and I don’t want to pass up another chance, but you take initiative and do it yourself. Oh.
38) Your SO doesn’t treat you right, and you know it, and I know it, and everyone else knows it. But I don’t know how to convince you without giving myself away. And of course when I try, it fails. Crap.
Prompt #248
“A hero like me, a villain like you, conveniently near my favorite boba place? Whatcha say we wrap it up early, and I treat you?”
Villain dragged their hand down their face. “Hero, I’ve freaking told you! I’m a villain. Vill-ain. I commit crime. I hurt people. You thwart me. You cannot date me!”
“Because you don’t like me?”
“We are enemies!”
“And you don’t like me?”
“That should be the least of your concerns! You’re supposed to be putting me in prison!”
“But we could fit in a milk tea first.”
“Aaaah!”
“You still aren’t saying you don’t like me.”
Short Prompt #1123
“Your abilities are simply incredible!” The villain exclaimed, ranting as they walked in a circle. “How in the world did Hero ever manage to get you on their side?!”
The sidekick paused lockpicking their cuffs. “...You think my powers are incredible?”

"I don't understand. I saw you die."
"Watched me die. You watched me die and you did nothing. Isn't that what you meant?"
List of “I’m trying to get over you, not under you” prompts
“You say you want to get over me?” “Yes.” “So why haven’t you?” “Because it’s you. Because whatever you do, I’m gonna come back to you, no matter what. And I’m trying so hard not to do that but… It’s you. It’s just you. You’re the reason why I can’t get over you.”
“Every time I think I’m finally over you, you come back and ruin everything. Why would you do that? Do you hate me that much?”
“You and your stupid smile… Get that shit away from me.”
“You think I’m still in love with you after all of this shit you decided to put me through? Well… Ha. I guess I am somewhat of an idiot.”
“…When I said I wanted to fall in love again, I didn’t mean with you, God damn it.”
“I swear I’m over you, but if you ever do shit like that again, you’re going to set me back to square one.”
“We could… Talk about us.” “The last time I did that, I ended up in your bed. And it didn’t really go well after that. I’d rather that not happen again.”
^ “So… What were you saying about—” “I’m fucking weak for you, alright?”
“Can you stop coming back at the most inconvenient of times? Every time I’m done thinking about you, you decide to pop up with your stupid greetings and stupid apologies and— God. I hate it.”
“Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. But fooling me thrice? I should just consider moving countries at this point. And I don’t have the expenses for that. So no, I’m not doing this with you again.”
