Enemies to lovers, but I want them to actually hate each other and think the other is ugly
Like I need them to DISPISE one another. I need them to trash-talk each other. I need them to find the other person REPULSIVE in every which way
And I don't want them to get together through a series of wacky events. no. That's boring
I want them to actively seek each other out, because they're hatred is so extreme that they wanna see the other person at their LOWEST. I want them to CRAVE their enemies' downfall so hard that they take time out of their day to sabotage them
And fuck you, I don't want them to COMFORT each other when at their most vulnerable. I want them to be UNCOMFORTABLE. I want them to sit in a room, both feeling real vulnerable, actively bitching to each other instead
and THAT. That's what gets them together. Them realizing that their hatred for each other is what's keeping their heads above the water. Their motivation to dislike each other is the reason they, themselves are achieving such high goals and potential (Yes this is a rival to lovers too, fuck you again)
And no, no I do not want them to have steamy hate sex. That's PREDICTABLE. I still want them to be repulsed by each other. No no, I want them to realize "Why are we even fighting?" because it's been so long that neither of them even remembers what started it all. And then, I want them to actively drift apart. To silently agree to just ignore each other because they're mature enough to realize what they were doing was pointless.
AND THEN. THEN I want them to crave each other again. I want them to miss the passion they had for each other, because no one else dedicated themselves like their enemy did. No one was as committed and there for them as their enemy. And I need that to RUIN them for everyone else as they go through life.
And it's only years later, when both of them have matured and grown as people, that they FINALLY meet again under different circumstances, having grown different perspectives, and yet still hold that same passion. And it HAS to be AWKWARD at first. It has to be weird and strange
Because that's not their enemy anymore. They're a stranger. A stranger whom they never noticed has qualities they like. And then the REAL slow burn happens as they navigate how to act without that burning hate
just a burning something that both of them are too up in their own ass to unpack
And that. THAT is my enemies to lovers
