Academic Rivals to Lovers prompts

Constantly fighting each other for the top spot on leaderboards

entering the same academic competitions

heated arguments during class debates full of tension

Fighting over the same book that they need in the library

fighting over the same secluded spot to relax/ study in

studying in the library reading until super late, they’re the only people left, seated deliberately far away from each other as they lose track of time. And then they get locked in cause the librarian/ caretaker locked up the place for the night forgetting to check if there was anyone left inside.

when the bickering and fighting in classes get so bad that the teacher yells at them and makes them clean out the classroom together after class as punishment

secretly admiring each other for their intelligence/ grades

forced to tutor someone together by the teacher

A is lacking a subject B is good at, teacher makes B tutor A (or vice versa)

glaring at each other or bumping into each other on purpose in the hallways

Ends up joining the same club, too passionate about it to leave

alternatively, they’re both on the debate team and get in heated arguments during practice

forced to take the same route back home after school

stuck on a group project together and end up carrying the team

alternatively, fighting for leadership/ control within the group

alternatively (again), paired together (instead of a group) and fighting with each other over details and nitpicking each other’s work

forced to sit next to each other in class/ be lab partners for the rest of the term

forced to correct/ grade/ review or look at each other’s work

taking a class test next to each other, A is struggling with a question, B surprisingly helps them

some fake dating rivals to lovers prompts

feel free to use :)

“just act like you love me.” “are you insane?”

they’re partnered up for a year-long project and have to stick together because it’s worth like 40% of their grade

one character is 100% a goody two shoes and the other is a complete delinquent ; their teacher asks the goody two shoes to help the delinquent out (think charity) and the delinquent knows becoming close w the straight a student will guarantee a better track record so they decide to fake date

they dislike each other in the first place because they’re always tying in competitions and awards for honour students

similarly they dislike each other because they’re like carbon copies of each other especially when it comes to academics

they dislike each other because of the people they each respectively hang around & the views those people have

“…. that’s possibly the worst idea i’ve ever heard.” “because you’re sooooo well known for your good ideas.”

“if i can help you… and you can help me… let’s fake date.”

both characters having different reasons for agreeing to date and the moment where they realize they were in it for completely different reasons… what happens then

“tell me. that this was just about you getting another tick off your bulletin list.”

“i don’t care about that stupid score anymore! i don’t care that everyone knows we were pretending to date Goddammit i just need you to talk to me!”

“isn’t it just that you’ve always thought you were better than me?”

“why did you even agree to date me if you thought i was that type of person?” “oh for God’s sake we were fake dating! it was never real!”

“maybe it was supposed to be like this from the beginning.” “… like what?” “i don’t know. maybe we were never supposed to hate each other.”

the confession moment of “i never hated you, you were just someone i couldn’t get close to because my academics were at stake” <3333

there are more at the bottom of this post.

Academic Rivals to Lovers:

(feel free to use! tag me when yall writee ;] requested by @field-mouse-queen and @indiansapphic )

"i don't agree with you!" "nobody asked you to."

arguments in hushed tones during lectures!!!!

^ "with this level of knowledge, i can probably-" "even with that level of whatever, you're still 5 feet 2." "HEY-"

sitting together to trash talk a professor you both mutually dislike

when they always sit at your spot in library, just so they could see you pissed off

"Are you reading?" "Are you blind?" "Heh, apparently you're. You're reading the book upside down, you moron."

"you like me now or what?" "i've learnt to bear your presence" *mimics them* "i've learnt to bear your presence"

being forced to work on a project together

"You're so stupid." "Yeah, I know."

"Why did you hurt yourself?" "None of your-" "Yeah, then fuck you. My bad for caring."

"hey-" "can you please not rub it in my face and leave?." "i just wanted to ask if you were okay.. "

attempting to comfort them when they're upset

"why do you care, [name]?" ".. you really don't know?"

"never have i ever liked my rival?" you search the room for their eyes, the glass is ALREADY RAISED TO THEIR LIPS.

"that mouth of yours does nothing but talk dumb shit?" "you wanna know what else it does?"

there's tension between them, sitting close while studying, arms grazing, pulling away of hands at the slightest touch :)

^ flustered, one asks, "what-? you're not interested in biomolecules?" the other whispers, "no, but i seem to be interested in you..," they come closer, "what have you done to me?"

"you know, love, I've always liked to win," they pause, "and I'd like to win one more thing--you."

-:(Dark) academia rivals to lovers:-

(YESSSSSS!!!! TAG ME IF YOU WRITE ANY OF THESE)

By @me-writes-prompts

"Did you say library? I'm coming." "No, you're not. You're only coming to flirt with the librarian." "You know me so well, darling."

Borrowing the other's favorite pen, but not giving it back because they liked to write with it so much they ended up using all the ink.

One of them plays the piano in the music room alone, the other can't help but pause in their tracks to listen to it.

Taking a stroll to the garden/park at night, and seeing the other one doing the same.

^^"What are you doing here?" "Reading." "How are you reading? It's so dark." "Exactly. I'm walking as you are."

"Give me back my notes." "Sorry, I turned them in as my assignment."

They end up being partners for a project/or end up in a study session together.

"I absolutely cannot tolerate your presence." "No one asked you to. By the way, your blazer has a stain on the back."

"Are you okay? That must've hurt." "And, why do you of all people care?"

"Idiot." "Git." "Dumbass." "Dumbwit."

^^Their professor finally loses their calm and shouts at them to shut up.

Locking eyes across a classroom and knowing exactly what the other is thinking.

Skipping classes individually but ending up choosing the same place to go to.

Writing poems for each other, and leaving them in the other’s books. (This may or may not be inspired from “dead poets society” :))

Academic Rivals To Lovers Prompts

Holding hands during a moment of high tension, ex. getting final results (especially if B is surprised, like gjfmdnxn)

2. Congratulating the other on getting a higher score instead of being spiteful (and then realizing it and wondering why)

3. Asking each other how they’re so smart/got that grade and actually listening to their response

4. Working in a project together, ofc, and being surprised when they work well as a team

5. ^“Working with you is so much easier than working against you.”

6. Talking about their plans for the future - academically (but then maybe about their plans for other things?)

7. Being really, really sad when one drops out of a competition or shared class (this happened to me but especially if they can’t figure out why - they should be happy the competition’s gone, right?)

8. Getting each other’s phone numbers - for notes. Of course (But why is B’s heart beating so quickly?)

9. Both secretly liking each other but not knowing the feeling is reciprocated so they keep up the act

(based on a true story)

Meet cute prompts

╭──╯ . . . . .˚ʚ♡ɞ˚. . . . . ╰──╮

Book store - The shorter character is standing on their tallest tiptoes, desperately trying to reach a book on the top shelf when the handsome taller character effortlessly reaches up and hands it to the shorter character who's glaring up at the taller one, "I didn't need your help" Short says pugnaciously, "I wanted to help" Tall grins feigning innocence.

restaurant - The cool, rich character is out with their family celebrating something at the new, prestigious, acclaimed restaurant where the pretty nerd from their school is assigned as their server, it's safe to say that server earned a generous tip that night.

School - The quiet outgoing character rushes down the hallway in fears of being late for class, they pull out their phone to double check the room number and as they do the collide into the dark, brooding character, "Watch where you're going" They say with a rude tone as they quickly pick up the books they dropped and walk off, but not before shooting a glare at the quiet one, "You forgot your book" quiet shouts out, when the brooding character ignores them. The quiet character makes it their mission to return the book to the Brooding character. (This can be for high school or college/uni)

Library - Character B is reading the book Character A desperately needs for school, "That's my book" A says moodily, "Can't see your name on it" A replies with a shit eating grin before continuing their sentence, "But I'd like to know your name' they add delicately

Cinema - Both A and B go to the cinema alone to watch some random movie neither had seen the prequel/s to, A spots B googling the plot of the first film, at some point they notice B staring over their shoulder, "Do you mind?" A asks softly, "So what happened in the first film?" B asks sounding genuinely confused.

█▓▒▒░░░I Got Into An Arranged Marriage With My Enemy/Rival░░░▒▒▓█

Both Character A and B come from wealthy rival families and they decide to end the dispute with their marriage

Character A’s family member gets them with Character B unknowing that they hate each other

“Honey, what happened to that sweet person we brought you, hm?” “I’m not going to marry them!”

Going on a date together because their parents forced them. Then actually enjoying it.

One of the characters is secretly excited and the other one is not

Character A who keeps reiterating how much they hate Character B

^^^ Seeing Character B visibly become dejected and then feeling bad about it afterwards

Denying that they like each other and then both of them getting protective of their future spouse

“At least you’re not marrying a stranger.”

Character B jokingly bringing gifts, calling them babe, trying to hold their hand etc… Character A getting mad at how flustered they’ve become

Their friends finding out they’re getting married and getting a good laugh at it too. Some of them even made bets on it

“Stop acting like we’re a couple. We’re not!” “you literally set us up for this date tonight”

Getting mistaken as a couple in public, but the stranger isn’t too far away from the truth

All of their arguments being labelled as “Lover’s Quarrel”

Defeat from Character A as they finally come to terms with the reality of it happening. Character B who wasn’t prepared for the change of attitude and finds it unexpected.

“Fine… I’ll hold your hand. So annoying” (secretly excited)

Both sides faking it to impress their families and some time later actually falling in love with them.

^^^ Fake smiles and kisses that seem too real at times and even doing it when no one is looking!!! AAAAHHHH

childhood rivals to lovers prompts

because it took me until high school to realize that the annoying boy i knew in 7th grade might've liked me

—-

being the top of their classes but only having eyes to compete with each other

being nerds and doing homework together after school but only to compare answers and smugly correct each other

X finds out Y's favorite color and starts wearing more of it, Y secretly likes it

having insulting nicknames that only THEY can use on the other

neither of them know how the beef started, could be that X already liked Y and didn't know what to do with feelings + Y being friends with kids that liked to argue with X

they end up hanging together bc of mutual friends and Y ends up enjoying this group more than their old friends

or X is friends with Y's sibling so they end up encountering at Y's house unexpectedly

maybe teachers note the rivalry and seat them together/pair them for projects. the class likes to watch their back-and-forth

"you look dumb with your hair up like that" "fix your chapped lips" "short" "weak" other immature digs at each other

losing contact as they end up at different high schools and eventually go to different colleges, maybe out of town

both were too stubborn to get each other's contacts, or didn't have ways to personally contact each other after middle school

neither said anything at middle school graduation, last they'll ever see each other

maybe one cries, or X randomly hugs Y before running away, maybe a small picture together taken by their parents who don't know about the rivalry

cut to college, they return to their hometown during a school break. maybe the breaks happen to line up

see each other in passing on a crowded bus/train, almost don't recognize each other

"was X this attractive?" sort of thoughts. maybe one notices and the other doesn't, or both make awkward eye contact for a split second before looking away

maybe they end up visiting the old bakery/cafe they always went to as kids and see each other on line, or X is working register as a summer job

brush it off bc maybe they've been thinking about their crush for so long that they're hallucinating the scenarios they made up

do they keep feigning ignorance? at this point, haven't there been too many coincidences?

one decides to take a chance and calls out to the other with the old insulting nickname

it works and they respond in kind with a smile

"It's been almost a decade now"

"you look different"

taking a closer look and seeing how the other has developed. the awkward baggy clothes have been replaced with better fitting stylish clothes.

the baby fat is gone but the smile's undoubtedly the same

noticing the changes they made in appearance and remembering the old insults they threw. maybe one did change their hairstyle and looks way too attractive, maybe one got muscular and is much stronger than the other

even better with height differences, especially if the one who used to be shorter grew way taller

or the shorter one stayed short and the other grew substantially

making snarky but lighthearted remarks mentioning inside "jokes" from the past

"still got chapped lips?" "still looking at my lips?" even better if one knows about the other's crush

one has the courage to ask for the other's contact info, finally arrange something close to a date (they never specify)

reminisce about old times, maybe meet up in the old playground/cafe/bakery near the middle school

realize they get along well as adults, talk about high school and college and where they're going in life

sad if one is going abroad, or if their careers are so separated that they probably won't have time to see each other a lot

maybe they secretly kept mementos of each other. if not that graduation picture, then the mean doodle Y drew in X's notebook, or the post-it X left in the book Y lent them, or the hat that Y never gave back, or the pen that X stole from Y's bag, etc.

"are you with anyone?" "no, you?" "me neither"

"i used to like you when we were kids" "used to? what about now?"

or "what am i supposed to do with an expired crush" to be sassier

meeting again is stirring up old feelings

happy end, they get together and have a strong long distance relationship or smth

sad end, they part ways for the final time

Arab/Desi Writing Prompts Part One

Listen, I was bored and wanted to play with words so here's a little something. Use it as you will, but MAYBE leave a little credit if you do use it.

"Wait- wait, you're telling me you've been flirting with me this entire time?!"

He let out an exasperated sigh at the question.

"Obviously. What do you think Qalbi means?"

His voice strained as he pronounced the word, but this time it didn't seem like an insult.

No. Ya Allah, no.

"I thought you meant Kalbi!"

"What, like a dog?"

His nose wrinkled distastefully as he spat the title, but you were too shell-shocked to reply with your usual sarcastic quips.

The man before you was rude and audacious and spiteful enough to refer to his academic competitor as a dog because you beat him during the first term. Yet he wasn't any of those things at all.

You were just stupid enough to judge him based off of your poor hearing.

Qalbi. My heart.

Suddenly, you couldn't breathe.

academic rivals prompt list pt. 1

person a creeping up behind person b to lean over their shoulder to see their test score then person b detecting their presence and whirling around to hit them in the face with their calculator

alternatively, person a sees the test score and crows with laughter "HA I GOT .5 POINTS MORE THAN YOU" (also probably gets hit in the head with a calculator)

dead silence as they sit next to each other in class, not making eye contact, looking all business like.

person a: well well well.

person b: indeed

*le dramatic silence*

person a: did you study?

person b: oh not that much i just stayed up for 24 hours straight then summoned the spirit of heisenberg using voodoo dark arts to explain the uncertainty principle to me

person a: amateur i've been up for two days straight surviving on caffeine alone studying the material and the author of our textbook is tied up in my basement so i can ask him questions

person c doing better than both a and b on a test

a and b glaring at c

person a: they die.

person b: i have a shovel i'll bury the body

also, alternatively, person c starts making fun of b.

person a: *death glare* only i make fun of b. take a step back before i break your legs.

a and b go to study at the same library, not expecting to see each other, and then when they do they glare at each other from afar and sit on opposite ends of the table

and then they start stealing glances at each other

a loves hates the way b's brow scrunches up when they're confused, how they push up their glasses, how they sip their coffee

b loves hates it when a runs a hand through their hair in frustration, licks their finger to flip the page of a book, draws absentmindedly on their own hand to relax

when university acceptances come out, both of them get so stressed and open the application portals together, hugging each other and sobbing and then when they both get in they kiss in triumph and then when they come to, they jump back, blinking

*le sexual tension silence*

"that never happened"

"yup."

*awkward handshake*

"good job"

"yeah"

also, imagine person a checking their dream school application portal and not getting in.

b sees the look on a's face change and realizes.

they go over to them and wordlessly hug them, letting them cry into their shoulder

one of a and b's teachers being their literal parent

teacher: a, apologize for calling b an underachiever.

a: *grudgingly* sorry b

teacher: now b, apologize for calling a....what did you call them again?

b: *mutters* i called them thomson's model of the atom because it was incorrect and useless

teacher: yes. that. *sigh* apologize.

b: sorry a

teacher: now hug it out

a and b making disgusted faces

teacher: hug it out.

a and b: *awkward hug*

(the teacher is invited to their wedding)
