academic rivals-to-lovers be like...
[Image ID: seven gifs of Des and Devi from Never Have I Ever episode 3.07, "...Cheated." They are talking before their debate competition, dressed business professional. Des is wearing his school formal uniform, and Devi is dressed in a gray business suit with a green shirt:
GIF 1: Devi shrugging as she says, "So, looks like we're on opposite sides of the bracket. I guess we'll have to wait till the finals to squash you ding-dongs."
GIF 2: Des nods and enthusiastically says, "It'd be awesome if you made the finals. We'll see how things go."
GIF 3: Devi side-eyes him, taunting, "I'm telling you how it'll go. Badly for you, goodly for me. Des watches her with a small flitting across his face.
GIF 4: Des lifts his chin up in a slow nod, then tilts it down meaningfully, a teasing glint in his eyes as he says, "But we'll still make out later, right?"
GIF 5: Devi's eyebrows shoot up, and she looks appalled. Off to the side, Des' smile grows. The subtitle reads, "Stop trying to flirt with me! We're mortal enemies today."
GIF 6: Devi sheepishly rocks slightly back and forth, before conceding, "And yes, we can make out later."
GIF 7: Des laughs lightly as Devi turns to go.
