syerbear

We’re both members of a cat group on facebook and always like and comment on each others’ posts about our babies

“what do you mean this is your cat? Sprinkles has been coming here for years for food”

My dog tacked you at the park and I’m sorry i didn’t help but it’s too funny because she’s a shi tzu and you’re like 6 foot

our dogs are best friends at the dog park and i think we should be too

We’re neighbours and you knocked on my door to complain about the domestic yelling match you thought i was having with my partner but it turns out i was just arguing with my parrot at 1am

“sorry to bother you, but my pet tarantula escaped and I think he went into your apartment. mind if i have a look?”

my pet knocked up your pet and i’m so sorry, i’ll help you find good homes for the babies as soon as he’s neutered 

pretending NOT to be dating/married aus

- we’re coworkers who are secretly dating and the company policy technically doesn’t allow relationships between our positions but everyone keeps putting our projects together because of our ‘excellent chemistry’… if only they knew

- we’re celebrities who are married but the public thinks we hate each other and we’ve spent years maintaining a carefully crafted rivalry because it benefits our careers, and then someone catches us being affectionate

- we’re sports teammates and dating within the team is heavily discouraged but we’ve been together for years and we’re terrible at hiding that fact when one of us gets injured

- everyone assumes we’re best friends but we’ve actually been dating for months; we share beds, wear each other’s clothes, and celebrate anniversaries, but nobody seems to be catching on

- everyone thinks we got a divorce years ago but we never signed the paperwork so now we need something from the government and are forced to explain why we’re still married

- you’re/we’re royalty and we’re secretly married and if anyone finds out, it’d be a political disaster and now we’re trapped at a month long diplomatic event and we’re both terrible at acting indifferent

“omg i’m so sorry” aus

- i’ve been flirting with you for weeks, but today i discover that ive actually been flirting with your identical twin and both of you are aware of this before me

- i’ve spent months helping you plan the perfect proposal and today i learn that the person you’re proposing to is my sibling/best friend/ex and i’m not taking it well

- i make an inappropriate joke at a funeral and you laugh, but you’re actually a member of the deceased’s family

- i spend 20 minutes loudly complaining about my horrible boss and then i realise that you’re my horrible boss

- i’ve been getting relationship advice from you for months and today i realise you’re the ex my current partner won’t shut up about

- i’ve been enthusiastically telling stories about the absolute idiot i’m dating at a workplace meal and then find out that you’re related to them

- i get a tattoo in a language i don’t speak because it looks awesome, but you actually speak the language and it does NOT say what i thought it said

- i drunkenly climb through a window because i think it’s my apartment, but it isn’t. it’s yours

- i’m giving a wedding speech and halfway through i realise i’ve totally misunderstood the bride and groom’s entire relationship

- i’ve spent 25 minutes telling you about how adorable a child is and then i imply that you’re the babysitter, when you’re actually the parent

- i tell everyone that im trained for a medical emergency, but you’re an actual doctor, and i am not trained for this

bed sharing aus

- there was supposed to be 2 beds at this hotel. there is only 1 bed. the receptionist is deeply apologetic, but now i can’t look you in the eye

- we’re in a winter cabin and it’s freezing and the heating has failed and even the blankets aren’t enough, so suddenly sharing body heat has become a serious survival strategy

- our friendship group has gone on holiday and everyone else paired off for sleeping arrangements and now we’re the only 2 left. everyone else seems to be finding this a lot funnier than we are

- we’ve been pretending to date all week so obviously it’s assumed that we’d share a room, but correcting them would expose the lie, soooo now we’re sharing the bed, i guess

- you’re sick/injured/recovering/etc. and i’m staying nearby to keep an eye on you and our eyes get tired and we wake up tangled together

- there was absolutely no reason to buy the tiniest tent in existence, i do not care that ‘it was £20 cheaper’, it’s raining and we’re stuck in the smallest tent known to man!!

“hey we hooked up last night and it turns out you are my childs teacher” au

“we both play this stupid game online and you keep beating me every single goddamn time so i called you out and you are pretty cute but can you not” au

“im a bartender and you just came in here without shoes sat down and ordered a chocolate volcano and idk what the fuck that is and im scared to ask” au

“we are neighbours and every night at 3:14 am you start yodeling for no fucking reason??? why???? is that you yodeling??? its been 2 months???” au

“im a pizza delivery person and i just delivered a pizza to someone in the middle of a satanic ritual and they gave me their number???” au

“i woke up this morning to find you sitting in my living room with a goat in a poncho??? who are you??? why is the goat wearing a poncho??? how did you get the goat in here i live on the 12th floor???” au

“we work out at the same gym and you always look super legit but i know you sing hannah montana in the shower and you know i know” au

“im a cashier and i saw you stuffing you pants full of potatoes and i would stop you but you already have 27 and i want to see how many you can fit"au

“its 4 am and im drunk as fuck in a mcdonalds and you have been watching my trying to eat this burger for 30 minutes” au

a storm is delaying our flight home and i’m afraid of thunder, please talk to me while we wait

we’re both in small claims court and i got into a huge fight with the person suing me but you stepped in to hold me back before security got there

i drove two hours to the closest video rental store that’s still operating and you were checking out the only copy of the movie i was after

i hit you with my car but luckily you’re okay, but we should still exchange information i guess

our friends that we came here with went off together and now we’re making awkward small talk

i was worried about buying something off of someone creepy from craigslist but oh no you’re hot

my friend talked me into playing a drunken game of spin the bottle even though we’re all adults and now we have to make out

we both decided to take a [yoga/fencing/cooking etc] class and we’re the only two assholes not taking it seriously and everyone else is giving us dirty looks but we keep grinning over at each other

my date just made a scene in public and got arrested and now i’m stranded in a city without a ride home

sharing a cab together

you’re trying to get me to sign a petition and i have no idea what you’re talking about

you’re drunk at this festival and dancing on the table and when you eventually fell i caught you

i tried to get a part time job at this place right by my house but they hired you instead and i have to see you every day when i go there now

blind date!

the nice one who everybody loves with the grumpy and strict one that the students hate and the students wonder?????????how what the fuck

but later (not in school environment maybe by accident) the students (a group of them) see that the strict one isn’t really that strict and they love their partner

or the cool married teachers that talk about each other and everyone loves like one of them comes late to class and is like “sorry i’m late guys mx. [partner] is really sick and i wanted to be sure everything is alright”

 and the students spend 5 minutes fussing over the other teacher and asking questions about their wellbeing “ARE THEY DYING” “No Joey they’ve just caught a cold” [and trying to make this one forget about their class”

or two teachers that EVERYBODY ships like the students are trying to get them together

“Soo, Mx. A, Mx. B will have a concert tomorrow for the school and they need all the help and they asked me to tell you….so you can tell other students” “Mx. B didn’t tell me anything about it” “oh it was like, last moment thing you know. they didn’t have time. and like, they really need help.”

And the teacher is like “Thanks Johnson” and trying to be really cool but REALLY BEING NOT COOL OMG WHERE’S THE SQUAD OF DUCKLINGS TO HAVE AN EXCUSE TO GO AND HELP

and like other teachers shipping them too

“Mx. A you know about the prom. There’s a rule that the teachers must have some partners too” [dunno if it already is something like this, it is not in my country] “I did not know about this rule.” “Oh it’s very recent. So, you know, teachers are never alone and can be protected in case it’s necessary. I also heard that Mx. B has no partner.”

OPPOSITE TEACHERS????

Like, science/maths teachers with art/languages teacher. Or stuff like this.

Talking about their subject passionately and the other not understanding shit but loving it anyway because they’re so fucking cute.

RIVAL TEACHERS?????? 

Like here is your impossible love

Teachers of the same subject in different schools fighting in competitions and shit

Or teachers of the same subject talking passionately about their course. and praising each other.

Teachers talking about their students, the bad ones and the cool ones

LGBT teachers standing up for LGBT students and offering them support and helping them feel more at ease in this clusterfuck of school

MY PERSONAL FAVOURITE:

OTP 1 teacher/teacher and OTP 2 student/student

OTP 2 being so thankful that OTP 1 exists. OTP 1 giving advice to OTP 2.

DOMESTIC TEACHER/TEACHER

Grading stuff together. Bringing each other food/beverages. Helping each other through all the stuff.

AND

SO

MUCH

MORE

SERIOUSLY PEOPLE THINK ABOUT IT.

TEACHER/TEACHER

BONUS!!

“hey darling, how about you teach me some things? I promise to be good.”

“i thought you went through high-school once. Weren’t you taught my subject?”

My friends and I are trying ghost strangers but you turned around and caught me but hey, did you know you’re super cute?

I’m having a shitty day but watching you slip on ice made me laugh and it was fine until I too slipped and fell and now we’re both sitting on the ground in pain and laughing

I see a shirt in a window and loudly tell my friend it’s the ugliest thing in the world but then I notice it’s the same one that the super hottie is wearing just 3 feet away from me

I fell on the bus and stopped myself from face-planting by putting my hand out. on your crotch

you drop some money and i went to help you pick it up but we’re both so eager to pick it up that we knock each other out with our heads

i think i’m the person you’re waving at in the street

you fell asleep on my shoulder on the train and I feel bad waking you up but like, my stop was 5 stations ago

i laughed when your kid fell over

You’re in my spot AU

It’s a week before finals and you’re actually sitting in front of one of the computers on a laptop??//??

You found me crying in the corner because I have no idea what my assignment even is

You keep requesting the book I need so I can’t have it the whole time and we leave each other passive aggressive notes in the margins

“Can you please help me reach the book up there? I’m too short to reach it and you’re the hottest tall person I’ve seen around”

I don’t mean to sound like a creep but I couldn’t help but notice you borrowed my favourite book and I just wanted to tell you that you’ll love it

I don’t mean to sound like a creep but I couldn’t help but notice you borrowed my least favourite book and I just wanted to tell you that you’re gonna hate it

Your headphones aren’t plugged in all the way and I can hear your music
