Dialogue Prompts
“Well. well, well. Look who came to their enemy’s door holding presents.” “Oh cut it, I’m here to pick you up for our date.”
“I’m scared that it could end badly if it doesn’t work out.” “You’re already enemies. How worse could it get?”
“Why did you save me?” “Just because I’m the bad guy doesn’t mean I’m a bad guy.”
“I can’t tell them. They would make fun of me! We used to hate each other!” “Used to - that’s the important part.”
“I can’t really remember what we were fighting about all this time.”
“That guy is not good for you. Hell, even I would be better for you and I’m your enemy.”
“No one will believe us when we turn up together.” “You know I love to shock people, so this will be great.”
“This seems like such a bad decision, but I just can’t help it.”
“You like me?” “I know, it’s hard to believe, I can’t really believe it myself.”
“I tried to deny it for so long, but I don’t want to anymore.”
“You already know the worst about me and I about you. If we can get over our past, we could have a good future.”
Oblivious Enemies to Lovers Prompts
Scenario Prompts - Given up their life for each other
They’ve never been friends – some would even call them enemies – but some things you wouldn’t wish on anyone and seeing Person A so hopeless, Person B knew they had to step in.
Person B usually quite enjoyed their fights with Person A. But Person A appears to have lost their drive for the last few weeks and Person B needs to investigate and solve the problem to get everything back to normal.
When they found Person A like this, they knew that they could just walk away and it was one enemy less. But Person B could never be heartless enough to disregard the value of a human life like that.
Person A would have thought that Person B would love to see them like this. They never would have thought that Person B would come to their aid and give them something to live for.
Scenario Prompts - Falling for the biggest flirt
Person A is always at their house and being very annoying with their flirty behaviour - and Person B simultaneously doesn’t want to go home and can’t wait for school to finally end.
They used to have a routine where they would avoid each other or only exchange snarky comments if they had to meet. But suddenly Person A seems eager to change their routine. Now hardly a day goes by without Person B being bombarded by compliments and it’s… weird.
Person B is sure that Person A knows how much Person B hates their constant flirt attempts and therefore does it even more. Person B definitely knows that it’s just to annoy them.
Person A has been Person B’s sister’s best friend since Kindergarten and is basically part of the family by now. Them and Person B’s relationship has also been rocky since Kindergarten. It began as jealousy for the sister’s attention, but it turns to awkwardness when they become teenagers.
Person A is a natural flirt, so there is definitely nothing behind all their sweet smiles and the weird compliments they keep giving Person B.
Special Forms of Enemies to Lovers
Coworkers - Hating each other and then falling in love (x, x)
Thanks to the pandemic, there are only two people at the same time allowed in the office - and for some reason the two people who can’t be trusted alone with each other always come on the same day
They may not like each other but their boss will have their heads if they don’t work well together on this project
The pandemic forces them to communicate via zoom calls and one of them keeps making fun of the stuff you can see in the others background
5 times someone refers to them as “work husband/wife” and 1 time they leave out the “work” part
They worked at different branches and only ever talked on the phone with each other, but now one of them gets transfered
Not liking each other does not mean they would let the other one embarrass themself in front of their boss
The company was nice enough to book two beds at the hotel they stay in for a conference - but why are the beds in the same room?
Person A and Person B share a desk and switch between the office and working from home, so they are never there at the same time. They both get frustrated with how the other one organizes the shared space and tell each other that through notes.
Person A gets annoyed by the decisions a new co-worker from another department keeps making and they can’t wait to finally meet them and tell them what they think about them. They didn’t expect Person B to look… like this.
The Employer of the Month is getting a dinner for two paid for and Person A and Person B are fighting each other tooth and nail for it. Then Person C wins and gives them the dinner so they can sort out their feud.
Person A and Person B argue about everything, but in the end they are the best team to get the job done.
Students - Polar opposites learning to appreciate each other
Their friends set them up together, but Person A is constantly showing off his money and Person B is really not impressed.
Person B goes to a frat party with her friends and Person A acts like he owns the place and Person B just wants to have a good time.
They have to do an assignment together and Person B has a million ideas and wants to start ASAP, but Person A keeps bringing up plans and reasons for not being able to meet and work on it.
It’s finals week and the normally bubbly and happy Person B can’t keep her cool anymore, because Person A keeps taking loud phone calls in the middle of the library.
Person A’s parents threaten to cut him off if his grades don’t go up, so he demands tutoring from Person B, because she is one of the best in the class and he realized early that she loves to help other people, so he takes advantage of that.

Enemies to Lovers: Band Edition
Prompts
Interviewers loved to talk about their well-known rivalry. And it used to be fun to play it up for the cameras, but it becomes increasingly hard when one of them doesn’t want to be rivals anymore.
They hadn’t started out as enemies, but when their music careers took off they became estranged. For the new tour that was just announced they need to be able to be civil with each other.
Rivalry between the two most popular band members used to be a cash cow when it came to selling the band’s music and overall image. But when people get disinterested because of their lack of interactions, the marketing company has the answer: former enemies turned to lovers.
Their fans are divided into three factions: Character A’s die hard fans that believe they are the only real talent in the band, Character B’s fanatic stans that believe that they can do no wrong - and the fans that believe that it’s all a marketing strategy and they’ve been secretly dating for years.
Ideas to make them spend time together
spending whole days and nights together in the recording studio
having to do interviews together
filming for their music videos
having to pose together in photo shootings
getting picked to appear together on TV shows, because people love their rivalry
posing for the cameras at award shows together
going out together with producers/people interested in investing in them
hanging out in airports together, waiting for their flights
spending time together backstage on tour, but also at festivals or smaller venues
getting a trailer asigned to them that they have to share
at meet and greats getting pushed together for photos with fans
starting out as a small local band, so their first out of town gigs force them to share a hotel room
