hi! I was wondering if u have or might be interested in doing couples hurt/injury fic prompts, like, person A gets hurt and person B's feral response to it (in the moment, later, whatever!) thank you <3

Definitely can do!

By @me-writes-prompts

“They hurt you, despite knowing what I would do.”

“It’s fine, I’m okay-“ “No you’re not, you’re injured and it’s all their fault!”

“Look we can settle this matter in peace right?” “Not when it comes to you. They should’ve thought about who exactly they were hurting.”

“Tell me who did this.”

“Name and address.”

“You know what? I shouldn’t have ever trusted them, I knew something was wrong when I first saw them. A gut feeling.”

“I told you not to go, love! Now look what happened!”

When their partner comes from a fight, all injured, with a smile because they won. But they are not happy, because what the actual heck?

^^“Tell me you did not go to a fight without me.” “I don’t need you to protect me.” “It’s not about protection-“ “I don’t want to hear it.” (Angsty🤩🙌🏽)

"Your shoes are untied."

"That was a terrible shot." "Like you could do better."

"What on earth are you doing?"

"Here's the gremlin I hate so."

"Hey uh... are you okay? I noticed you didn't call me an asshole earlier and I'm concerned."

"So... looks like we're partners for this." "Yep."

"You're a buttface." "Oh my God, are you five?"

"Someone's cranky, did you miss naptime?"

"Why are you staring at me jackass? Do I have something on my face?"

"My love language is bullying people." "You bully me. A lot." "..."

"Hey fuckface." "Hey dickhead."

"Holy shit how did I have a crush on you?"

"How does someone who looks as beautiful as you be so damn stupid?"

"Why did/do you hate me by the way?" "I don't. I never did."

"Kiss my ass." "Gladly."

"Are you checking me out after I just called you a stupid piece of shit?"

"Hey did that guy/girl... hurt you? Are you okay?"

"Look, I know we aren't the closest but you can always talk to me about anything."

"What? No visicous insult about my clothes or hair? Nothing?"

"Do you know how hard I tried? For years? I tried do damn hard not to fall in love with you and I'm still here."

*hiding in a closet & pushed against each other* "You have a pimple-" "shut the fuck up for a second!"

"I'm not a fan of you but you could do a lot better than them."

"You have a pretty face when you aren't yelling at me."

"You drive me fucking crazy."

"Look, I'm sorry I was an asshole. No excuses. I just... I wanted you to know I really am sorry."

another heavy handed symbolism moment: my mom has a potted sunflower in the kitchen. because it is a sunflower, it keeps turning towards the light from the window. my mother keeps rotating it so it faces inward because she wants "to see its beautiful petals and have it really brighten up the space!" . the sunflower is visibly wilting .

“I appreciate all you’re doing for me, I really do! But it makes me wonder why.”

“Why what?”

“Why are you helping me?”

“… It’s incredibly sad that you feel you have to ask that, you realize?”
