lovely little domestic prompts

feel free to use! :)

  • 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
  • “your mom is coming over today.” “tell her to bring fried rice or she’s not invited.” “you tell her, she’s your mom.” “but she likes you more!”
  • 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.”
  • one character covering the other with a blanket when they fall asleep watching a movie on the couch
  • making tea or coffee for their love interest before bed (and just the fact that they know exactly how they like their tea and coffee swooon)
  • cooking anything together honestly, not even needing to ask where the items are because they’re so in tune and used to each other
  • “where’s the new coffee mix?” “i’ll tell you if you tell me where you put the keys?” “i TOLD you i don’t knowwhere—”
  • long movie nights where one is in charge of the blanket and pillow fort and one is in charge of the snacks
  • them going on a short trip and one character nagging the other about bringing their allergy meds
  • nagging in general, frankly
  • “it’s your turn to do the dishes.” “let’s get a divorce.” “we aren’t married yet, my love.” “well we sure as hell aren’t getting married now.”
  • “i am one hundred percent content to stay with you on this couch until the end of time.” “that sounds pretty damn lovely to me.”
