"Stay." Prompts
“Move in with me.”
“Please. Please don’t leave (me).”
A grabs ahold of B’s hand/arm just as the latter starts to turn away/etc.
“No! Stay— Stay far away from me. Please.”
A invites B to stay at their place for the night.
When their relationship with A gets serious, B finds themselves wanting to run for the hills. (They’ve done so many times in the past, but something about it feels different this time.)
“I can’t stay. Not—Not when you can’t even tell me…”
A got an amazing job offer from someplace across the country. They ask their crush/friend/partner/etc. B for advice on what to do.
“Why did you stay?”
A intends to come home/visit them when they hear B isn’t doing well, but the latter (tries to) convince(s) them not to.
“Marry me?”
A’s apartment/etc. houses more and more stuff that belongs to B/they bought because they know B loves/needs it.
“I could stay like this forever.”
“Stay where you are. I got it.”
For the first time in their life/a long while, A just wants to stay where they are. Stay in this town/etc., with B,… Leaving their old life behind, however, is no easy feat.
“Don’t move.”
“Do you even want me to stay?”
A often imagines what it would have been like if they would have stayed in their hometown/together with B.
“I know it wasn’t supposed to be/end like this, but… I need you.”
It’s been years since A and B broke up, but sometimes it feels like they are still right there with them.
“Could we just… stay here for a while?”
A asks B to stay by their side during a social gathering, hoping to avoid certain other people/questions like this – or to at least have a buffer.
A repeatedly asks B to stay with them as the latter seems to be dying/dies in their arms.
“I couldn’t stay. Not even for you./Not even if I wanted to.”
“I can’t imagine going back to a life without you.” “Then stay.”

Character A who’s usually serious but is a softie in the inside and Character B who literally tries to cheer them up constantly
Serious Character and Ray of Sunshine Character Prompts
-> feel free to edit and adjust pronouns as you see fit.
"Why do you always look so sad?" Character B asked, a hurt in their voice that Character A had never heard before. "I try to make you feel better but I'm never sure if it works."
"You know you make me really happy?" Character A said in their usual flatlined voice.
"Do you want to hang out?" Character B asked. "Just so you're not sitting around doing nothing all day."
"I never sit around and do nothing when I'm with you."
"You're always trying to make me feel better," Character A said awkwardly, holding out a bouquet of flowers. "It's my turn to do the same for you."
"You're my favorite person."
"Thanks for being so amazing."
"You realize I'm never actually in a bad mood, right?" Character A finally asked. "You act like I'm sad all the time, but I'm not. Not when I'm around you."
"You have this amazing ability to light up a room when you walk in."
"I feel like I dampen the mood every time I open my mouth."
"You mean the world to me."
Character A's heart did backflips in their chest every time Character B looked at them.

The main reason for the decline of shoujo anime for me really is that girls/women will still consume shounen while boys/men will not consume shoujo as much, so for producers if you have to choose between a shoujo or a shounen you will go for the shounen because you know you will be able to get both audiences while with shoujo the audience will really be majorly female and you will be losing money from half your audience. And that is also why shounen these days incorporate a lot of shoujo tropes into their stories (ikemen, romcoms, etc.) but still do it in a way that is mostly targeted for boys (male protag, big boobs and heavy sexualization of female characters that is not as present in actual shoujo stories), they do it to make sure they will grab both audiences. That is not to say that seinen and shounen can't do great animes like these (just look at horimiya and skip to loafer), but it also means we get a lot of anime that is trying to do the same but in a very harmful and sexist way (just look at shows like rent-a-girlfriend and the millions of bad isekai that come out every season). So, shounen is stealing shoujo tropes and making them worse (most of the time), and we're eating that shit up simply because there is no actual shoujo coming out as often as it did before.
