List of “the whole world has their eyes on me. me? I only have eyes for you” prompts
“Love, you’re the centre of my universe. You’re the reason why I just am.”
“Well, one thing’s for sure; no one catches my attention quite like you do.”
“The only person I’m willing to fall in love with, over and over again, is you.”
“You’re the only person I see, even with my eyes closed; even when the world around me fades to pitch black.”
“With you, I see a forever I’ve never envisioned before. Not that I didn’t want to, it’s more because I wasn’t able to… At least until I met you.”
“Out of all the people you could have fallen in love with, you’d think I’d be the last person on that list. Not even that, I shouldn’t have even been on the list.”
“The thing is, no matter what you’ve done… I just can’t seem to keep myself away from you.”
“Your eyes are lingering again.” “Is there a problem with that?” 
“Why me?” “…There’s no rhyme or reason to why it’s you. It just is you.”
“You have all these people who’d literally die to be with you, so I just don’t understand…” “Well, they aren’t the ones I’d want to die for. And also… They aren’t you, are they?.”

Hi hi, presuming you don't have any like this yet (sorry if you do) could I request a/some prompt(s) for a prince/princess/royal person confessing to his/her/their butler/maid/other type of servant? Thanks in advance either way~ <3
hello! thank u for your patience; i hope these are good!
"I don't care that I could have anyone in the kingdom. I don't want anyone else! I want you."
"There are rules against us getting married, you know." "Then when I have the throne, I will simply overturn them." "That's going to take a lot of work." "I know. But you're worth it."
"This might seem...sudden, and perhaps unwanted, but...I love you. And I understand if you don't feel the same, but I've truly enjoyed your company."
"I love you." "You're [royalty]." "That doesn't prevent me from falling for you, does it?"
"Tell me something I don't know, Your Highness." "There will never be anyone in this kingdom as good as you are." "Careful, sounds like you've fallen for me." "How could I not?"
also, for your consideration: the royal one bowing to their servant

A cruel prank by your bullies leaves you separated from the rest of the class. Instead of finding your way back, you decide to “go missing” and let the consequences catch up to them.

Dialogue tips that actually work:
You are not writing a movie (ignore this if you are). The reader doesn't need to know every word the characters say for the duration of the story. Less is more.
Dialogue can happen within the prose. "And they awkwardky discussed the weather for five minutes" is way better than actually writing five pages of dialogue about the weather.
Balance your dialogues. Surprise yourself with a monosyllabic answe to a dialogue that's ten sentences long. Don't be afraid of letting your character use half a page for a reply or nothing at all!
Don't write accents phonetically, use slang and colloquialisms if needed.
Comma before "said" and no caps after "!?" unless it's an action tag. Study dialogue punctuation.
Learn the difference between action tags and dialogue tags. Then, use them interchangeably (or none at all).
Don't be afraid to use said. Use said if characters are just saying things, use another word if not. Simple. There's no need to use fancy synonyms unless absolutely necessary.
Not everyone talks the same way so it makes sense for your characters to use certain words more often than others. Think of someone who says "like" to start every sentence or someone who talks really slow. Be creative.
Use prose to slow down the pace during a conversation.
Skip prose to speed up the pace during a conversation.

Signs of “you know you’re fucked when…” 
…You keep waiting for their texts, eager to see their name light up your screen.
…You feel like kicking your feet up in the air and squealing while twirling your hair because they finally text you back (you don’t, though — gotta remain composed, somehow).
…You grin like a fucking idiot when you see their name pop up on your phone screen.
…Your heart flutters when you see them in real life.
…You guys just hung out, but you’re so, so sad when you have to leave, even though you spent literally the whole day together.
…Their touch has your mind reeling endlessly.
…You just can’t stop thinking about them. Like, damn! Get out of my head and into my arms already, am I right?
…Their presence brightens up your day immensely.
…You have to busy yourself to distract yourself from the thought of them, though sometimes that doesn’t work because, well, they’re the biggest distraction out there.
…You can’t think of anyone else. They’re always on your goddamn mind. And thing is, you didn’t expect them to become that thought consuming but they somehow exceeded your expectations and now here they are, living rent free in your mind.
…You daydream about them. A lot. And not just when you’re bored.
…You could have the shittiest fucking day but then they’d text you and you’re all happy and shit again. Do you really want them to have that much control over you? (You don’t, but you can’t help it.)
…They’ve got you tripping over your own words. Bonus points if you’re usually pretty darn eloquent. 
…You try to imagine them with someone who isn’t you and, well… Oh. Did you feel that painful clench in your heart? Hm. A little weird, isn’t it?
…You feel your heart dip a little when you get a message that isn’t from them.
…Every fibre in your being lights up when they approach you with that stupid smile of theirs.
…They’ve got you smiling. And lord, you don’t smile that much so like… Shit.
…They’ve got you longing for their touch.
…They’ve got you defending yourself for your life because your friends are convinced you like them (and maybe you do, but denial is blissful).
…You realise no one could replace them and they’ve become pretty constant in your life and imagining them not in your life sucks.
