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.
