OTP PROMPT 103

01/25/2022 — January 25, 2022

hello! it's been a while, i hope you're all doing well in the middle of this dreary and horrific pandemic.

reloading this app gave me the startling realization that i've had this account for 7 years! i made it when i was 11, and im 18 now. little me would have never expected this to reach over 300k reads. it's unbelievable.

unfortunately i don't see myself updating very frequently anymore. however, i've found myself a new love for poetry/whimsical prose, so i might come in once or twice to post some stuff  :)

———

mutual pining.
Person A likes to think that they've got it covered. All the points that they overheard their not-so-secret crush (Person B) say are must-haves in a partner are twice ticked over. They've even made a visual checklist to double check!

So why aren't they noticing them?

What they don't know is that Person B is deliberately avoiding eye contact at all times, because well, Person A is a little too intense, and they fear they'll combust at eye contact. And also- they think that the only reason why Person A likes them is because B accidentally whisper-shouted "dibs" a bit too loudly when they first met. (Person A actually doesn't remember this part, they were too awestruck by B)

celebrity/secret relationship.
They communicate through interviews, but not in the way that fans can pick apart and realize. They're not that dumb— their agencies would have their heads if they tried anything else.

So their declarations of love come in the form of small, subtle things.

In a magazine interview where they show off their makeup routine in their private time, all the magazine photos show Person A as a cool, collected artist with a stoic face and killer eyeliner. what the fans don't know is that Person A barely uses eyeliner— but they used this particular brand to scrawl their number on Person B's forearm on the day they first met.

Similarly, nobody bats an eye when Person B says that their favourite thing to do at home is play music while cooking homemade dinner. and it's true, they love it. they just don't mention that it's their favourite because Person A likes to hum alongside the soft love songs, swaying in their arms as they wait for the pasta water to boil.

vacation.
Person A sabotages Person B's schedule by getting them an entire week off. And vandalizes their calendar too, for the fun of it. Person B is only a little scandalized by the bright red circle in marker and the tens of messily drawn hearts.

Okay, fine, they're pretty endeared too.

That doesn't stop them from being petty on the journey there, though.

au.
Person A is a private detective hired to investigate Person B, a kindergarten teacher under the guise that B's doing something sketchy. Person A goes undercover as the new neighbour who's always out of sugar and who's shower is always out of order.

Shenanigans ensue when Person B finally asks why Person A is interviewing their students on B and why their "home-baked sweets" strangely tasted like they were from Person C's bakery from down the street.

Whether or not Person B is actually a criminal mastermind is up to you.

enemies to lovers/childhood friends to lovers.
Your OTP is competitive. From a childhood feud that nobody really remembers, they've sworn and have made it a tradition to take pictures of each other whenever they win an argument. Person A has a board of Person B's angered face at the loss of an argument or a bet and vice versa.

They keep this up even when they finally get into a relationship, but their boards slowly turn from collages of angered faces to sappy smiles.
