  • running their love interest a bath after a long work day
  • covering the sharp part of the table when they pass so they don’t hit their hip

  • deciding together how they want their house to look
  • painting their child’s room together
  • “i meant it when i said i wanted to start a family with you.”
  • baby-proofing everything not because they have a child or are planning for one but because one character is clumsy as hell and the other is a worried mess alllll the time because of it
  • “wake up and come get breakfast, love.” “…. now…….. when i said yes to this whole marriage thing i thought we were on the same page and you understood when i said i don’t wake up before 6pm.” “i made hashbrowns.” “i’ll be right there.”

  • them going on a short trip and one character nagging the other about bringing their allergy meds

  • “can i love you?”
  • “i just… adore you.”
  • character a noticing character b is sleepy while driving and being like “hey i can take over for you”
  • the classic “no i’m not in love with character a, yes thinking about hurting them makes me want to throw myself into ongoing traffic, no it doesn’t make sense to me either”
  • their love interest fell asleep and your main character has a blanket so they give it to them

some enemies to lovers kiss prompts

this one was requested to me… it was a little harder since enemies to lovers kisses are a little more plot specific but i did try! feel free to use <3

enemies to lovers post here.

  • “listen, let’s just forget about it.” “you mean forget about when we k—” “STOP.”
  • that split second before they kiss and they mentally ask themselves if this is about to happen but whoops their brain checked out hours ago and they’re about to kiss the person they hate more than anything
  • they haven’t talked about the first kiss they had— it was a small mistake, won’t happen again, the heat of the moment caught up to them and they still hate each other— but then suddenly there’s this moment for whatever [plot] reason and they’re gravitating towards one another and suddenly their lips are slipping over each others’
  • they’re teasing each other when one character goes “then kiss me” and is surprised that the other character actually does it
  • they’re playing a competitive game, whether it be a sport or for gym class or whatever, and while hiding, the sexual tension rises n boom they’re kissing
  • blurted confessions before the kiss
  • “yeah and it’s my fault for liking someone who—” cut off by a kiss
  • they’re alone in a room together in general because whew this makes for some incredible sexual tension
  • alternatively, they’re in a room full of people and somehow only register each other’s presence… one character sneaks away and the other follows and after a little banter they kiss in seclusion
  • “oh God.” “[name]…” “we just— kissed, oh God. i’m gonna be sick.”
  • “did you just…” “kiss my mortal enemy?… i think yes.”
  • “what are you thinking?” “i’m thinking i want to ask to kiss you. and i’m thinking i just did.”
  • ARGUING!!!!! then a heated “kiss me.” and suddenly their hands are all over each other
  • ALMOST KISSESSSSS!! its #that moment when they both know it’s about to happen, and Godthey don’t even care— but then they hear footsteps, or hear someone call them, or the phone buzzes, and the moment is gone like it never existed
  • “i… your lips.” “[unintelligible noises].”
  • that specific moment when they’re both stunned at the kiss, not only stunned that they let it happen but stunned that they don’t regret it at all
  • the aftermath. you as a writer need to decide if they’re going to acknowledge that it happened or going to pretend it didn’t and create more drama!!

tips

it doesn’t really matter the kiss as long as it shows not only their past and pent up anger but pent up sexual tension. it shouldn’t be something they’ve been thinking of outwardly, but something they’ve been actively trying not to think about, something they’ve been trying dearly to avoid. after all, they hate each other. so that moment when they first kiss should really solidify that “oh, i’m totally screwed” thought because they realize that the overwhelming urge to kiss their enemy didn’t just “come over” them, it was there all along.

most of all just have fun! silly kiss scenes or ones that give us second hand embarrassment are very very fun and unique. make it specific to your characters, to heighten their relationship as well!
