“Are we really doing this? Are we really slow-dancing?”
“When you laugh like that, it just — you’re so beautiful, you know that?”
“No, sorry, you laughed. I … I never saw it before. It’s — pretty.”

International Friendship Day is right around the corner, and our AO3 collection is going out to our authors any minute! That means we are excited to announce the prompt list for the friendship bonanza - which we have hidden under the “keep reading” because it’s ridiculously long. If you’d like to make a “gift” for any of the prompters, you are welcome to, and we just ask that you either post it to the AO3 collection and tag them (but please mark it as a “gift fill”) or post it on Tumblr and tag them AND us so we can share it! Happy Friending
We (it was Laura, we swear, blame her!) made a pretty big OOPS and forgot to include everyone’s DNWs!! We have edited the original post to make sure that the info is out there, and just wanted to let everyone know.
A taking B out to a flower garden, only to have it rained on.
Imagine B’s horror when they realize they took A to the one spot their ex used to bring them all the time.
A’s car breaking down as they’re driving to their destination, so instead of that nice play they were going to see, they spend the night with their heads buried in the hood of the car and fixing the engine.
They go ice skating, A falls, and suddenly they’re in the emergency room for the rest of the night.
B accidentally writes the schedule the wrong day down for or their date which inevitably causes them to unintentionally stand A up.
A falling sick either before, during, or after the date and B having to help care for them.
B’s little siblings having to tag along due to poor planning/unexpected babysitting, and they absolutely rip A into pieces with both their words and behavior.
A doesn’t tell B that the horror movie they picked out isn’t something they’d be able to handle, so when they burst into fearful tears after a particular jumpscare, B is both concerned and worried.
B and A somehow separating and getting lost in a mall, so rather than spending the day together, they’re busy making frantic calls and looking for eachother.
A and B are known for being bitter rivals, so infamous that when they start dating, it’s best that they keep it a secret. However, their facade may have gone too far when B realizes that their friends are joining in on tormenting A with intentions to help. They have to hide their rage and will to jump in and defend their partner when A is hit with insult after insult.
All of A’s concerns of hiding instantly go away when B gets hurt.
Their secret plan backfiring when everyone around A notices the loving stares they now give B and assumes they have a crush on them…which to be fair isn’t wrong.
Pretending to be absolutely shocked/angry when their friends set them up on a surprise date, but the moment they leave, they enjoy their free food/activity. (bonus if they don’t realize that their friends are still around to see how it goes and catch them)
B slipping up and calling A “babe” or another loving nickname, and A covering their laughter as they fumble around to fix their mistake.
# dialogue
“You’re totally into them.” “I have absolutely no clue what you’re talking about.”
“I know we’re supposed to hate eachother but that last comment you made earlier felt a little personal.”
“I think they noticed…”
“Hey, look at me, it’ll be alright. Okay? We can find a way to cover that up, no worries.”
