fuck friends to lovers. hell, fuck enemies to lovers. fuck enemies to friends to lovers.

don’t get me wrong; they’re all amazing tropes and I’d read them any day of the week.

but you know what really gets me going?

cum-buddies to lovers.

fuck-buddies to lovers.

convenient mutual release to something much deeper.

like, there’s an undeniable attraction that they feel towards one another. something purely physical. they meet each other and immediately start sizing the other up in an attempt to speculate just how good they’d be in the sack. the tension simply builds the more they stare/imagine/talk/spend time together.

extra kudos if they find the other kind of intolerable/annoying, or have a myriad of pet peeves about the other.

because then they’re consistently telling themselves that the only thing that’s good about the other, the only reason they even hang around, is their body; their ability to please, and their ability to be an outlet for frustration. no matter how much the other annoys the piss out of them, or how much they can’t stand them, they’ll still seek out each others bodies because they’re the best damn lay they’ve ever had.

and it’s all just sex. just physical release —

until they find that, over time, all those annoying little things about the other seem to become just a little less annoying, bit by bit.

they find that they look for the other even when they aren’t horny or sexually pent up.

their conversations start to grow longer and more personal; hell, sometimes they simply talk just to talk. make each other laugh. hear the other’s opinions on certain things.

opinions that, weeks ago, they wouldn’t give two shits about.

they start caring, feeling two thirds protective and a quarter possessive of the other. always watching, always scoping, always trying to identify any threats to the other (or to the relationship they have with them).

the sex slowly morphs from a simple physical need to a connection — no more quickies or hard, fast strokes, no more hittin’ it from the back in any dark place they can find with eyes unconnected, completely emotionally distant from one another.

no, now it’s slower. hands exploring the other because they genuinely want to feel them, not because it simply makes the sex better. they’ll use their palms and fingers to map out and memorize every single contour of the other’s body, because when the moments over, they still want to feel the shape of the other against their skin.

they find that it’s far more comfortable to face one another now, far more stimulating to watch the other’s face contort with the pleasure they’re feeling. they find that they enjoy it, that the sight makes them feel absolutely breathless.

makes them feel stupid.

because how the hell had they never noticed the other was so ethereal?

they know each other’s bodies, quite literally inside and out, but now… now they crave more. they want to know the other’s soul, they want to know what makes them tick, they want to know them on all intimacy levels, and not just sexual.

again, extra kudos if when the whole thing started, they vehemently refused to kiss each other. too intimate for just sex.

and now, they find that they’re really, really curious about what the other tastes like, what their tongue feels like, overcome with the thought of ‘what will I feel if our lips meet?’

and eventually, when they simply can’t hold it back, they finally kiss, and everything just suddenly makes sense.

theyre desperate now, lungs turned breathless from the insistence that they keep their lips locked, pushing back against the other and willing them to feel everything through their embrace.

all the things they can’t seem to put into words.

the things they’re scared to put into words.

it’s deep, it’s strong, it’s overwhelming, crashing through them with the strength of the ocean breaking open a dam; a dam that they thought would never, ever even crack.

and certainly not for this person.

and if one (or both) start crying from the sheer emotion they feel for the other — omfg I can’t take it.

because sex hardly ever comes with no strings attached, and the journey traveled to discover that ugly truth is one that’s bumpy, winding, and not easy to endeavor.

fuck-buddies to lovers is the one trope, in my opinion, that is filled to the brim with everything that we love in fanfiction; smut, angst, fluff, miscommunication, hurt, comfort, jealousy, tears… and so much more.

thank you for coming to my ted talk <3

my favorite lovers tropes

academic rivals to lovers (IS SO GOOD, plus when theyre forced to work together)

the "why didn't you answer my letters??" followed by "you wrote me letters???" HEARTWRENCHING

fake dating (enough said)

the 'you need to learn how to dance so im gonna teach you and oh gosh why r we this close?' (honestly one of my all time favs)

the two enemies dancing together at a masquerade dance (yes, just yes)

the screamed love confession during an argument "BECAUSE I LOVE YOU" (best thing ever)

one bed trope (enough said)

the 'i hate everyone but you' couple (yesssss)

one losing their mind if the other is hurt or captured (cough percabeth cough)

the bodyguard/princess trope I REPEAT THE BODYGUARD/PRINCESS TROPE

the 'we were flirting and everyone else knows we were flirting but we're in denial bout it' (this trope)

MUTUAL PINING MUTUAL PINING

additionally, the 'everyone thinks we're dating but we r not/ in denial bout it' (BEST TROPE EVER)

the hero falling for the villain (honestly one of the best ones out there)

lovers to enemies (SO ANGSTY)

𝐒𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞𝐬 𝐚 𝐛𝐨𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐈’𝐦 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚 𝐛𝐨𝐲. (𝐡.𝐲)

summary: yunjin has found herself crushing on her friend, who has a crush on someone else. it’s not as simple as that however, y/n is the first girl yunjin has ever liked… and you like a boy. (student!yunjin femstudent!reader, brief yeonjunxreader, brief angst, jealousy, pining, sunshine sunshine protector, reader is lowkey an idiot, friends to lovers.)

warnings: cursing, detailed descriptions of a fight, blood, detailed description of an injury, yeonjun is a douche (not a portrayal of him irl!!), the word “gag” once, let me know if i missed any!

word count: 2.1k

a/n: not proofread! obviously based off of that song that’s trending on tiktok, im not sure if it’s out yet (:

©teddywrites0: do not repost or translate my works! (reblogs are appreciated.)

she watched as you walked into the room, hair swaying with each step. you were an enigma, hard to figure out, but beautiful nonetheless. everything you did was beautiful to her as a matter of fact. she was just proud to be your friend, she was proud that she was the one you were walking to. “hey jen how’s that term paper going?” your rich voice rang through her ears like church bells. “you know i hate when you call me that,” she said softly with flushed cheeks, “it’s going fine, how about yours?” you sat in front of her in the small table of the library. “i finished last night, even though our professor told me to stop being such an overachiever.” you said sulking cutely. she watched as you looked down at your lap, it was adorable to her. “sometimes it’s good to overachieve, you’ve got a talent.” she complimented. you looked up with wide eyes, a smile tugging at the corner of your lips, “you really think so?” she giggled at your innocence, “of course.” you reached for her hand, rubbing your thumb over the back. her smile dropped and she pulled back her hand. “are you alright?” you asked, oblivious to what a mess you just made to her stomach which was flooded with butterflies. “yeah.. yeah just fine.” she plastered a fake smile across her face. she would never admit her feelings even to herself, she thought she was silly. that maybe she just hasn’t found the right guy. the problem with her feelings.. just walked into the library. “god look at him, how can someone be so perfect?” you ogled. you had that fairytale look on your face. yunjin wanted to bury herself into the ground and never crawl back out. part of her wished you’d make a move on him and get it over with. he was popular, even if you were the most gorgeous woman in her eyes.. choi yeonjun wasn’t a relationship person. it didn’t matter if you hooked up with him, he’d be done with you in the morning. she wished it would just happen so she could comfort you when he says his trademark line, “i don’t do relationships.” so you would finally stop speaking about him. so she did what she did best, “just talk to him, if he rejects you move onto the next.” fake it. you sighed deeply, still staring as he typed away at his laptop. he looked up, meeting your eyes with a smirk. you quickly looked away, “holy shit we made eye contact, hide me!” you panicked covering your face with your hands. he was already standing up, walking coolly toward your table. yunjin rolled her eyes preparing for a pickup line or a faux compliment. “hey beautiful, couldn’t help but notice you staring.” he said as he took a seat beside you. yunjin wanted to gag. your hands remained on your face, burning with a fiery blush. “adorable, isn’t she?” he asked, acknowledging yunjins presence for the first time with a sly grin. he lifted his slender hand and gently removed your own from your face, “what’s your name angel?”you giggled nervously at the sudden contact, “y/n.” you said softly. “well y/n, go on a date with me?” now yunjin wasn’t expecting that. her stomach was in knots. usually yeonjun picks up a girl from a party, he’s never actually been on a date with someone as far as she knew. how does she know so much about him? he was her bestfriend, until college started. “yes! i-i mean sure!” you said grinning ear to ear. that’s when her heart sunk to her stomach. “alright sweetheart, meet me at that one fancy place on main street at eight.” he said tucking a loose strand of hair behind your ear. once he had left yunjin spoke up, “a gentlemen would’ve offered to pick you up.” you rolled your eyes playfully, “i’m sure he has his reasons.”

now here yunjin was, helping you get ready for a date that wasn’t with her. “do you think he likes red? or is that too sexy? i could do pink but i don’t want to seem too innocent.” you rambled while skimming through your closet like a mad woman. “just wear the white one. it suits your.. figure.” she said carefully. “you’re right. thank you again, for helping me.” you said as you began to take your jeans off. yunjin quickly turned around, “you’re welcome.” she said nervously. you furrowed your eyebrows, shaking your head and dismissing the thought of asking why she seemed so uncomfortable. once you were changed you stared long and hard in the mirror before turning back toward yunjin. “how do i look?” you asked fiddling with your fingers. she turned around, eyes widening, lips parting. “you look..” — “is it bad?” she quickly shook her head, “no you look gorgeous.” you smiled, pulling her into a tight hug and thanked her for the fifth time that night. “would you mind if i walked you? i just want to make sure you get there safely.” truthfully she did want you to be safe, but she also wanted her time with you to last a bit longer. “that would be great actually, but i wouldn’t want you to walk alone on your way back.” you said, pulling away slightly so your arms were still around the back of her neck. the proximity of your faces making her extremely nervous. “it’s alright i’ll wait for you outside.” it didn’t take long for her to convince you, you finally had let her go and she felt like she could breathe again. the night wind blew your loosely curled hair and yunjin had to stop herself from staring a few times. it was getting chilly, the sun had set and you repeatedly rubbed your hands together. to tell the truth she thought he was going to stand you up, but low and behold there he was, looking as smug as ever as he offered a hand to you at the entrance of the restaurant. he gave yunjin a quick look of accomplishment.

once inside yeonjun led you to a table, pulling a chair out for you and taking the seat across from you. “you know.. i’ve noticed how you look at me.” he said smirking. you blushed, “was i obvious?” he chuckled, “in lectures, in the library, i just don’t know how you didn’t notice me looking at you.” he flirted. you smiled softly, and shortly a waiter came to take your orders. he ordered an expensive wine, and the date went well. he was almost too flirty, you found it a bit overwhelming. if it were anyone else they’d think he was sweetening them up, kissing their ass if you will. but unfortunately for you, you’re oblivious to a lot of things. yunjin sat on a bench outside, hugging her cardigan to her chest. it had been over an hour, she really didn’t understand how all of a sudden yeonjun had seemingly become a date person. finally, you and yeonjun walked out, his hand against the small of your back. yunjin stood up, “ready?” she asked. you nodded before gasping, “i left my phone!” you ran inside before yunjin or yeonjun could offer to get it for you. “look at you.. waiting out here like some kind of body guard.” yeonjun said sourly. yunjin glared at him, “she’s my friend, and knowing you i’d like to make sure she’s safe.” he furrowed his brows, “what is that supposed to mean?” before she could answer you had rushed out, looking at the two in confusion. “is everything alright?” yeonjun smiled, “just peachy.” he then leaned in and pressed a soft kiss to your cheek. yunjin rolled her eyes. “jen you should sleep over!” you said. she pursed her lips into an awkward smile. you and yeonjun said your goodbyes and you interlocked your arm with yunjins. back at your apartment, she found herself zoning out through the story of your date. “and then he kissed my cheek and god it was magical, you saw it right?” she snapped out of her thoughts and nodded. “we’re going on another date next weekend!” you said, excitedly clasping your hands together. now this is weird. “i’m happy for you.” she said with faux excitement. “i’m going to see if he’ll join us for lunch tomorrow, if that’s okay?” you said, a hopeful glint in your eye. how could she say no to you? you always gave puppy dog eyes, whether it was intentional or not. it was everyone who ever knew you’s weakness. “that would be great!” she said, knowing deep down it would be hell.

he didn’t show up, you and yunjin sat in the campus cafe for thirty minutes and he didn’t show up. yunjin was more upset than you seemed to be. she watched you check your phone every five seconds, stare at the door in hopes to see him walk in. it was pitiful, and she was growing frustrated. “c’mon we’re leaving, he’s an asshole.” you reluctantly stood up, walking out of the cafe with yunjins arm around your shoulder. you wanted to cry, it wasn’t that big of a deal, you thought maybe he had his reasons. “listen guys are jerks, he’s not an exception.” she reassured you. you walked down the sidewalk gripping onto yunjins shirt while her arm remained on your shoulders. you were embarrassed, it was your first date in a long time and you thought it went well; but apparently not. she was pissed. you had to walk through the parking lot to get to the main campus. on your way, a couple making out against a car caught your attention. “gross.” yunjin said grimacing. “wait..” you said cautiously removing yourself from yunjins side and approaching them. “yeonjun?” you said quietly, a quiver in your voice. he turned around, no sign of remorse in his eyes. “hey sweetheart.” he smirked. the girl left with an annoyed scoff. “how could you?” you asked, tears welling into your eyes. yunjin caught up, slowly realizing what was happening. “we’re not in a relationship? how is it your concern?” yunjin pushed you slightly out of the way, slapping him harshly. “you are such a selfish, arrogant ass!” she shouted, gaining the attention of a few students. he scoffed, “you mind explaining yourself?” she shouted yet again. you watched in silence, choking back sobs. “i was playing the long game, sweetening her up until i could get a taste of that innocent p-“ she landed a punch square on his nose. you gasped and students started to crowd around the three of you. he hunched over, holding his bleeding nose. “i’m not going to fight a girl.” — “tough.” she said before kicking into his side. “yunjin stop!” you shouted. she couldn’t hear you, all she could hear was her heart pumping rapidly in anger. she shoved him and hit him anywhere she could. finally, having enough, he punched her back. “h-holy shit.” he said, realizing what he had done. her lip began to bleed, a deep cut tracing her bottom lip from his ring. you grabbed her wrist pulling her away from the crowd before a professor or campus police showed up.

you rushed her to the infirmary, “where the hell is the nurse when you need her?” you shouted. a note was left on the desk, “on lunch.” it read. “great.” you scoffed. you pushed yunjin down onto a cot gently. “y/n it’s okay really” — “no it’s not.” you interrupted rummaging through the supply drawer. you collected a cotton ball and some rubbing alcohol, “this is gonna sting a bit.” you said as you dabbed her lip gently with the alcohol coated cotton ball. she winced. you couldn’t quite see so you had to situate yourself to be standing directly between her legs. she looked up at you, it was so hard seeing you this close. “i wish you were a boy.” she whispered. “what?” you asked, “nothing.. it- it’s nothing.” — “jen.” you brought your hand up to cup her cheek. “y/n.” she whispered, voice shaking. you brought your face closer, leaning in. her lips were soft, and you weren’t sure exactly why it felt so right. you weren’t sure why you hadn’t done this a long time ago. you pulled away, leaning your forehead against hers. “what does this mean?” you asked, voice barely above a whisper. “i don’t know.. all i know is i want you to do it again.” she said with a slight smile. you smiled leaning into another kiss.

your imagines are amazing! can we have some best friends to lovers with erl please 👀

I never thought you did - Erling Haaland

Pairing - Erling Halland x Female reader

Warnings - alcohol usage and some cuss words, but that's about it. If you notice anything, please let me know.

Omg, thank you for the compliment and the request. Sorry, it took so long; I've been so busy. I hope you enjoy it, though ❤️❤️

———————————————————

Erling had been your best friend since you were in primary school; you can't remember the last time you guys did anything without each other, but over the past few years, you had developed feelings for him. You had always kept them a secret only your best friend knew about them

You thought he didn't feel the same way but what you didn't know was that he did and had since you guys were younger

Y/n POV

I was sitting at my dressing table putting on my makeup when I heard my phone ringing. I picked it up, and it was Erling calling me the nickname “Erlman.” immediately telling me who it was, I picked up to hear his soft voice

“I'll be at yours in 15 minutes are you gonna be ready or do you need another 3 hours?” he said the last bit sarcastically. “Shut up I'll be ready in 10 minutes.” I laughed slightly as I heard him closing a door obviously leaving his house or getting into his car

“Okay I'll see you in 10 minutes then.” you could hear the smile in his voice you could tell that smile from miles away. “Okay bye.” You dragged out the y before hanging up and finishing off your makeup

Just as you finished you heard your doorbell rings you made your way downstairs and opened the door before going to grab yours shoes so he could just come in himself you grabbed your shoes and walking around the corner to the door

Erling was stood reading something on his phone. “You ready to go?” He whipped his head up and kinda just stared at you for a few seconds and just nodded his head

He opened the door and held it open for you to walk out. When the door closed, you quickly locked it and headed to his car. “Whose party are we even going to? You never told me,” you asked him as he got into the car.

“Do you remember Isabella and ian?” you say thinking before it clicked. “Oh yeah the girl that fell into the fountain a few weeks ago when we went out,” you said to him turning your head to look at him. “Yeh her its there like party that they do every few years everyone is gonna be there!” you nodded and turned to put your seatbelt on before he started exiting your garage

Around 20 minutes later you arrived and by the time you got there their was a bunch of cars outside Erling found a place to park and you got out the car waiting for him to meet you on the side walk before walking towards the party together

A bit later that night

You can't remember how many shots and drinks you had, but you have had enough as you were dancing on some random dude you met 20 minutes ago. you think at least

Until suddenly, hands wrapped around your frame, dragging you towards the bathroom. At first, you got scared, but you soon realized it was Erling. He looked pissed, and because of your drunken state, you didn't even know why

He pulled you into the bathroom, locking the door. “What the fuck are you doing?” he slightly shouted at you, but even if he shouted as loud as he could, the music would have blocked out any noise. “Mhm, not what the fuck are you doing? I'm having fun if you couldn't tell!” you scoffed after slurring out your words

You headed to open the door, but he pulled you back, pinning you against the sink. Your body froze. You didn't want to look at his face, but obviously, you did. He was staring down at you. The look on his face was hard to put together, and without thinking, you did it the one thing you had been waiting years to do. You kissed him, and he kissed you back

You made out, and it soon hit you that you were making out with the boy you'd liked for years. He slowly pulled away, but your lips were nearly touching. Still, you felt sober somehow

“God, I've been waiting so long for that!” you heard him say almost in a whisper like it was only for you to hear, and it was only for you. You slowly started to realize this whole time he liked you too. You felt dumb for never noticing.

“Really?” you said lowly, waiting for his answer. “Yes, God, I'm gonna embarrass myself here if this goes wrong, but.” he took a slow breath before continuing. “Seeing you dancing like with someone, I don't know, it did something to me. I know I like you, I have for years, and I didn't know how to tell you cause I am sure you don't feel the same way, and I didn't wanna Rui—”

You cut him off, kissing him before he could continue. You didn't need to hear anymore to know what you both wanted. You pulled away, smiling at him. He still had his eyes slightly closed, and when he opened them, you had never seen him like that. His eyes had hunger and lust in them, and you were sure yours looked exactly the same

“So are you saying you feel the same cause if you don't, that's fine,” he said, slightly turning away from you? “Just shut up. Of course, I do. I'm surprised you couldn't tell!” you let out a small laugh as he turned to look at you again

“Thank God, I thought I had just lost you.” he hugged you, but it felt different. It felt like love, not just friendship. “How about we get out off here? It's quite lame anyway.” You laughed at his comment before replying

“Yeh, I'd like that as long as we can get food on the way back in. So hungry.” you rubbed your stomach a little as he laughed at you. You felt as if you were drunk again. “Yes, we can get food it's on me!” he said as he turned away from you to open the bathroom door

“It's always on you, but I'm not complaining about a free ride and free food. What else could I ask for.” you smiled at him as he opened the door and walked down the Hall to where most people where

As you were leaving, the guy you were dancing with tried to get your attention, only to be hushed by Erling wrapping his arm around your waist and leading you toward the door

You can't remember the last time you were happy like this, and all you could think about is that you hoped it would last.

The way Cisco Ramon and Hartley Rathaway are the definition of Academic Rivals always has me laughing because one of my favourite tropes is Academic Rivals to Lovers. We have the lovable, funny one, and then the sarcastic, smug one with a superiority complex. Not to mention - they have tension.

Also Hartley is gay so I'm already halfway there to being canon.

Hello!! I was wondering if you could do a sort of academic rivals to lovers with Wilbur?? Story or headcanons, you choose 🤎

You are my new favorite person. I genuinely LIVE for academic rivals to lovers. One day I’ll probably make a whole story, but for now you get my very specific headcanons <3

Pairing: Wilbur x Gn!reader

Academic Asshole

You two were always neck in neck for every single class. No matter how many teachers tried to stop it, Wilbur always flashed his perfect score at you, and you always returned the favor.

And when you went out of your way to make a remark towards him, he always returned one right back at you. His was often paired with a term of endearment, like "darling" or "love", but said in such a way you knew it for what it was: an attempt to rile you up.

You hated him. From his stupidly pretentious outfit to that guitar he always had, you absolutely hated him. You didn’t even know when it started at this point—nobody did. It was a matter of fact in the school: you and Wilbur were mortal enemies.

Until your English teacher decided to ruin your lives and put you together for a group project.

“I’ve assigned your groups on the board. Get together and exchange numbers, snapchats, social medias, whatever you guys do.” The teacher announces, immediately going on his computer once he’s done.

You scan the board for your name, doing a double take once you see it next to Wilbur’s. There’s no way the teacher put you together by accident. Teachers actively avoided letting either of you anywhere close to each other after the debate incident in history.

“Sir, I think there’s been a mistake.” Wilbur says loudly, alerting the entire class to what’s going on.

“Yeah, there’s no way I can work with him.” You agree.

“Exactly what I was thinking but about you.” He shoots back.

“It wasn’t a mistake. You two have been nonstop bickering since the day you stepped in here. So you either learn to work together or fail. Your choice.”

This was going to be a long project.

The second you swap numbers to talk about the project, he's constantly bugging you. Flashing the bright red 100 wasn't enough for him anymore, he had to text you about it for three hours to rub it in.

His texts are a weird mix between flirting and bragging, which often leave you mildly confused and annoyed.

100% would text you "I got 100 on that test, what about you" and when you respond with "Fuck you" He'd reply with "Anytime you want darling <3" just to piss you off.

Because you're both aiming for the best grade, the project turns out to be absolutely huge which requires a lot of time spent together. At first, the awkward silence and stilted conversations were unbearable, but now you almost looked forward to working on the project.

Once you start to actually talk to him, you realize his personality isn't just trying to show you up in everything. He's actually kind of funny.

And, when a day of working on the project in the library together runs late, you learn another thing. He's not quite the asshole you thought he was.

"See you tomorrow in class. You'll have the page done?" You stand up, gathering your belongings and shrugging on your coat as you do.

"Only if you'll have the citations done." Wilbur responds, shutting down his laptop. "Woah, it got late. Are you walking?"

"Yeah, it's not far."

"In the dark?"

"It's not far." You repeat.

Why does he even care? He should be glad if some monster decides to kill you. His competition would be gone.

"I'll walk you then."

"I don't need-"

"Nonsense. You said it wasn't far anyways."

You frown at him, crossing your arms. What was he playing at? Was he trying to learn your address to secretly sneak in and ruin your notes or something?

"I don't need a fucking babysitter to walk home."

"I'm a companion." Is his counter. "Besides, I'm about to walk out of here the same way as you so it'll be really awkward if I didn't walk you home."

Not bothering to hide it, you scan him head to toe for any hint of an ulterior motive.

"I'm not a total dick." He groans. "If you really don't want me to-"

"Fine." You huff.

Wilbur grins at you, and you realize you've played into his trap. Checkmate.

"Don't look so resigned. I just don't want you getting kidnapped. Then who'll complete the citations?"

For some reason, his words draw a smile out of you.

"What, can't handle extra work?" You tease.

"Citations?" He shudders. "Not when it comes to them."

Now you're laughing, and his eyes are lighting up.

"Oh, citations! How they wound me! They are my kryptonite and I, superman! My Achilles heel!" He plays up.

Maybe, just maybe, you had judged your academic rival a little wrong.

By the time the project is due, Wilbur is absolutely head over perfectly shined shoes for you. You though? You're still in a lot of denial.

Somehow you managed to not add up all the times you two spent time together that wasn't strictly academic. He loved to invite you to random spots in the town, and you never once declined.

It's only after he invites you to celebrate turning in the paper that you realize. After all, he has no reason to want to celebrate with you. But yet, there you two are at dinner.

”I didn’t even know this place existed.” You admit, looking around.

It’s a small place, hidden between bigger restaurants. Somehow that didn’t deter the place though, considering it was quite lively. A little stage sat snug in the corner for performers while holiday lights were strung across the ceiling. Nearly every table was full but Wilbur had somehow managed to get you two in.

“Most people don’t until they come here.”

He looks around like you had, something fond in his eyes. You can’t help but lean forward, wanting to know why.

“The owner is a friend. I’ve played here a few times.” Wilbur explains. “It’s where I first performed.”

“Right there?” You motion to the stage.

“Yeah.”

“How horrible were you?”

He laughs. “I got booed off the stage!”

“But you came back. Got better.”

“How do you know that?”

Wilbur’s teasing, a certain lift to his voice that you’ve come to be familiar with. It doesn’t matter, because you can’t help the flush creeping up on you.

“Thought you’d know by now. I’m pretty smart.” You cover up.

It’s not very smooth, but the waiter serves as your saving grace.

Wilbur makes the first move. Truthfully, he’s always had a little bit of a thing for you and has always had more confidence than you.

And, of course, you’re nerds so there’s some literary references in there.

Wilbur leans down slowly so that you could stop him if you wanted to.

He was walking you back home from the restaurant before you had stopped the both of you to point out a squirrel. You were close enough to be brushing against each other before he had turned and cupped your face, cutting you off.

“We are a tragedy waiting to happen.” You breathe, a mere inch apart.

The distance felt like too little and too much at the same time. No matter how desperately you wanted to close it, you felt like you had to warn him. Two enemies turned lovers? You knew the story of Romeo and Juliet too well for this.

“Good thing I like Shakespeare.”

You smile, and he closes the gap.

Honorable mention of something he’d definitely say after kissing you to flirt: “You’ve bewitched me, body and soul.” (Pride and Prejudice)

When the other students figure out you’re dating, your English teacher takes all the credit.
