Roberto/OC Enemies-to-Lovers Chapter 1

Read on Ao3

which of the girls stayed friends after the show was over?

i'm not even sure if i answered this before but i think it was a passing quote somewhere. anyway lol, let's see:

hope x mc. i have no doubt hope wanted to keep in touch and they possibly become really good friends on the outside (out of noah's route of course. hope wouldn't be able to take it if mc and noah got together, at least not for a while). she even says mc is her closest friend in the villa, especially if the heart score is high with her, so i think hope is reaching out for sure! she’s a wonderful friend and wouldn’t waste time on the outside. i can picture them having a slow friday night as they talk about their week with some cocktails and snacks. also, hope is the kind of person to bring gifts all the time (just a headcanon) so she’s always buying mc something, even if it’s a little token from a different city, she’s bringing it.

marisol x priya. they're all over the place, partying, blowing off steam, shit talking lottie (as they should), and i love to picture them on trips together, flirting with people, winging each other in the night. i'll even go further and say priya realizes she has some interest in mc and marisol is the one to help her figure things out. they talk about boys and girls and i think that's neat. (it might be canon since they talk about it briefly during casa amor).

blake x shannon. they came in together and appreciated each other, one because they both had game, two because of their strategy, three because they were both dumped and felt it rough. i reckon when shannon leaves, blake is waiting for her to give her a hug. blake might've been a bit cunty to mc but that doesn't mean she wouldn't be a good friend for someone she likes/respects.

chelsea x mc. um, there's no doubt in my mind that if mc wants it chelsea will be there like a cuddly koala, ready to listen, to party, to brew a tea and hear her venting (and yes, some gin too). she's the closest friend to mc and i reckon she's anxious to continue that friendship on the outside. it's a headcanon of mine that they move in together and become roommates during the quarantine if they're single. chelsea must be a right laugh when putting together a tinder profile so i believe it would be fun.

hannah x jo. hear me out! they understand each other. once they're out of the villa, and lottie is not exactly the person hannah thought she was, jo is the person that comes through. they're more similar than the shallow impressions show. to start, the insecurity, fear of daring, putting on a brave face instead of showing vulnerability... jo and hannah would be a good pair on the outside. hannah trying to show jo some poetry, jo trying to get hannah to hop on a bike. i think it would be hilarious if it happened.

elisa x hope. again, hear me out. i believe elisa was teasing hope because of the whole situation. many times people don’t get along under certain circumstances and then afterwards become friends. i think that’s exactly what happens with them. they even talk about the villa and elisa is embarrassed by the way she called hope “teacher”, but they laugh it off. they both like clothes, makeup, shoes, expensive and excellent taste in things, that’s where it starts. there’s also cultural similarities happening there, and sharing experiences is definitely a thing they do all the time. i just like picturing them cheering with champagne or martinis on a friday night after hope is off work.

hope x marisol. yep, i think they would find each other at some point, enough to realize they didn’t have much time together in the villa because there was so much drama happening. but remember that if not mc offering the hot chocolate, it’s marisol who comes through and comforts hope. i do think they like each other but never had the proper time to sit down and talk because lottie was always in the middle. once that’s not an issue i think they get along really well.

BONUS:

a group chat with mc, chelsea, hope, marisol, priya and elisa, where they constantly talk about what’s happening, trash talking, exchanging memes and screenshots of their convos with people. all of them go out together, chelsea and hope might even say “so,we’re the only boring straights here, huh?” to which the girls laugh while winking at some hot girl from across the floor. that might be my favorite group of girls on the outside, ever.

Chapter 2 | Limoncello 🍋

li's reacting to exes engaging with mc

elisa, kassam, lucas:

"so, who is this... person?" while putting a hand on the lower of mc's back.

gary, bobby:

"sooo, aren't you gonna introduce us?" with a weird smile and awkward body language to disguise the jealousy but still trying to come across as friendly.

henrik, tai, marisol and hannah:

they're not certain about how to feel or what to say, but honestly? i don't think they care that much. although hannah might feel a sting of jealousy, tai, marisol and henrik are more secure in themselves, unless the person was being too touchy and laughing and being obnoxious about it, which in that case they would go over there and just... "heeeeeey, babe..."

priya, lottie:

J-E-A-L-O-U-S, because insecurities. they would also go over there and be over-the-top with mc, enough to almost embarrass her. in priya's case it's because she might come across as cold sometimes, especially in a new relationship. she hasn't got the hang of it yet. in lottie's case well... she's jealous. all the time.

noah, ibrahim, carl:

what would the li's do if their parents or friends were being malicious when meeting mc?

ooh ok, that's an awesome question!

there's a few pairs of parents here i really can't see going down that route, but for the purposes of answering this ask, let's imagine, and go li by li:

bobby. with his retractive personality under the stress of new situations, i think he would paralyze on the sign of his parents not liking mc. it's hard for me to believe they would be this malicious, but if they were, bobby wouldn't know how to act or react. he might be upset but not necessarily speak up, because he never had to do it. i still don't think his parents would act this way though. as for friends... he might politely let them have it, possibly reaching passive-aggressive. kind of laughing and saying "i didn't ask... hahahahaha". he only gets confrontational when he has back up, and in this case there's no one.

carl can be really quiet and recluse but when that temper explodes, you know the time he couldn't go to the movies to see star trek in 8th grade is coming up. from "i'm not asking what you think or your blessing" to "we're leaving, and don't expect us to be back so soon" is happening. his meekness has an expiration date when it comes to bullies, and what those parents or friends are doing is exactly that! he's tired of it, and has been relevating a lot for the sake of keeping the peace. but for the one person that understands him? no fucking way he wouldn't do anything. i'm not saying he would eloquent and every word would make its way out crystal clear, but there would be a solid effort!

elisa. because she's so young she might still be the type of daughter that doesn't stand up to her parents. i can see it going really bad given she comes from a black family, and by experience i know you don't talk back. she might try to make things smooth but it could result in mc feeling attacked and leaving, elisa following her. it takes a while for you to kind of really say something, especially if your family is traditional.

gary. if there's one thing we know is that nan wouldn't talk behind mc's back! unfortunately i can see it happening, nan being mean if she didn't like mc, but gary would probably have a heated discussion with her, it would be a yelling festival of back and forth resulting in gary grabbing his coat and mc before leaving. "we're going!" would their relationship heal? yes. would he feel guilty for standing up to her? also yes. the woman raised him. would he apologize for defending mc? no, not once. his friends would never, they know the hardship it's been to meet someone that takes garebear seriously, so they wouldn't dare. either way, gary would be leaving. he saw himself retracting while in the villa and i don't think he likes what he saw, so he's changing that.

henrik. THEY WOULD NEVER, but if they did he would calmly say "well, clearly we're not welcome here." and leave. short and polite, yet decisive. the same goes for his friends.

ibrahim. this is where i hope rahim has nerves of steel, because if the timid guy that came to the villa still existed, mc would have to get an uber to go home. with him everything is a little hazy since he changed so much. i still think he wouldn't raise his voice or be able to tell people to stop, at least not on a first time. he might try, and even tell mc, to ignore it, which would cause her to leave, because even the dumbest mc in season 2 wouldn't stay for that mess. i think rahim might have a lot to grow still, especially because his brothers and father sound like the type that say "what are you getting all worked up for, it's just a joke." so i can see rahim avoiding his family for a while, until he builds up courage to say something to their faces. it's not easy in practise, it takes a while.

kassam. nope, he's not having it. on the first sign of danger he's pulling back, and not necessarily making a scene but he would leave and tell them why he's leaving. "i didn't come here for you to attack her, i wanted you to meet her because she's important to me. and since you can't show any respect for her, i don't think i can stay." kassam is not taking shit from anyone, not even his parents. and judging by his personality there must be at least one of them who's like that, so they know that would happen.

lottie. unless she didn't grow up in a goth family she's already a rebel. so if her parents said something i think she would sound almost spoiled. i don't mean that in a bad way, or even that she would pout or anything, but it could go down the "you just don't get it" route, and i'm not mad at that, because she would stand up for her girlfriend. SHE WOULD NEVER DO THIS FOR A BOY THOUGH. the moment her mom said something about the boyfriend lottie would believe her and dump his ass.

lucas. plain and simple: acting passive-aggressive back. he's a petty man and even though he's not having their shit, he wants to cook the anger before storming out, because HE WILL STORM OUT. the reason why he leaves is that he realizes the game he and his parents are playing is making mc feel uncomfortable, and that's not the first time. there will be heated follow up calls later and for the next few days but i don't reckon lucas cares about what they have to say. they're really different and see things from different pov's. lucas doesn't give a flying fuck about their opinion.

marisol. wild card. 'cause she can be very outspoken, but on the other hand she doesn't seem to know how to react when something like this happens, she might be confused about it. in this situation i think she either doesn't pick up on the malice behind the comments, or if she does, she tranquilizes her girlfriend because it's not going to change her feelings. as for defending mc? i'm not sure if it would happen. maybe something eloquent but definitely not angry, not like kassam or lucas. she never gets confrontational, even when she's right. remember when she found out about lottie and gary? marisol walked away and never spoke about it, no harm. this might be the case here. but she's not coming back either... it makes her very uncomfortable so... she's avoiding it.

noah. wild card, my dude! he can either way. i know people say he's not confrontational, but that is with girls. he's not afraid of speaking up when he sees something wrong happening in the villa. so either it gets really awkward and he leaves or he has a very eloquent speech prepared for the occasion: "i didn't bring her here to be humiliated. i wanted the people i love the most to meet the girl i love the most. if you're not open to it, then i'm sorry, but i'm not staying and listening to this, it's not right." to be fair, i sincerely doubt his parents could be this malicious, but in case it happened he either walks away in silence or just says something about it. but his opinion is being swayed about mc because of his parents, that i know for sure.

oh my god! it just reminds me fusebox hasn't put out anything good since october/2019, please i'm so tired of their content!

how would the li's react if mc wanted to go to a hotel?

bobby. "is there a pool?! i would love to get a pool for us! i've seen this hotel downtown that has tubs and pools in the suites so we're definitely going!"

carl. "alright, let me just pack my schedule, my laptop, my ipad, my two phones, my daily planner, weekly planner, monthly planner and alexa... you know, for music..." *sees mc's face* "right... scratch all that, let's just pack one phone."

elisa. "is it posh? does it have a pool and tub? if not, let's find one that does because... why leave the house if we don't?"

gary. "hotel huh? are you planning anything new? 'cause you know i never waste an opportunity to use a different bed."

hannah. "aw, that's so nice! we can have room service and take a bath. can we pack the pride and prejudice dvd's? both versions, of course!"

henrik. "ooh, where?! is there a view? what should we pack?!" *runs to the bedroom and tosses every bag on the bed and rummages through the closet looking for every single piece he could pack* "oh wait, for one night? yay, i don't need to pack!"

ibrahim. "what should i pack? and when are we going?"

kassam. "ok. but i'm choosing your stuff."

lottie. "a night just for us? away from everything? why don't you go ahead and pack for me and i'll pack for you?" *smirks*

lucas. "hm... i hope you're packing lightly, you won't be wearing much."

marisol. *blushes violently* "oh...? what should i wear? what should you wear?" *sees mc's face* "no packing, huh? wow..."

noah. *smiles warmly* "i would love to. we can take a bath and have dinner on the porch, then stay in the room...? and never leave...?"

oh oh wait, your brain anon, i love this question!

never thought about how they would respond so i'm glad you came in here! let's see:

hope. "i have never pretended to be into someone just for the sake of it. i don't fake my feelings even when i should, i can't help beng transparent and my feelings for noah were genuine. they were real since the beginning." she takes a pause to adjust herself on the seat. "thing is... just because it didn't happen for others it doesn't mean my couple was less real. noah and i had an instant connection, and even if it didn't work on the outside it was real for me in there."

noah. "ah, i don't like when people try to insinuate we were faking it... or that we weren't that into each other. hope is a fine woman and i liked her from the beginning because of how put together she is." he sighs. "i saw myself in a couple that i could see a future with, and even though that future didn't happen i still have the most profound respect for her, she's an amazing person and i was lucky to be coupled up with her."

jo. "i feel like people really don't know how intense it can be when you're on the other side of the telly. everything happened so fast and i just went with it!" she chuckles. "when i first saw rahim, back when i wasn't in the villa, i felt like he and i would get along. i didn't like the way people were treating him and i kind of just... let it flow. the kiss happened, the coupling up and the exclusive thing did too and it was all... fast. but it was real. we were really into each other."

aw, thank you so much! it means a lot to hear that 💚

but damn, that ask took a turn lol

How would each LI from season 2 react to their GF's death? would anyone move on ?

see, abolut moving on, i think all of them would eventually move on and date other people, so i'm focusing on what they would do right after.

this time i'm dividing by how they would deal with it:

bobby, gary. being alone after tasting what life could've been it's probably the worst part of it, because both had issues with relationships before her. bobby couldn't trust anyone, gary was never given a chance. coming with terms with it it's probably the worst and longest part of their process, making them angrier than they've ever been. it's a mix of frustration and sadness that make them do everything on auto-pilot for a long time.

lucas, marisol. it took them everything to trust someone and start a relationship, to let go of their own hold ups and she was the person that trusted them enough to wait for that to happen. not everyone would have that patience and they know that. lucas would be devastated for a really long time, and bitter about losing her. suffice to say it would change him as a person, enough he would stay away from most things he likes. marisol doesn't know what to do when it happens. for the first time in her life she doesn't have the answers and will needs lots of support from her friends.

carl, kassam. both would dive deep in their respective work and try not to talk about it, not letting themselves ever going there because it hurts so much. while carl can't even go in the bedroom they shared, kassam can't even stay in the place they lived with each other. he'll use any excuse to travel and play because he would be so angry about losing her.

henrik, ibrahim. more than anyone they need support of their families and friends when it happens. ibrahim would need people around him all the time, especially when going home. noah wouldn't leave the house until rahim was ready to go back to his life. henrik would travel everywhere he could, in his car, with very few things. isolating himself somewhere hidden would definitely be the best for him.

elisa, lottie. they would try to work on their respective fields but end up realizing they need time to process. elisa would pretend she's ok but one day she catches herself crying over something very small. same goes for lottie. they want to put a brave face on but it doesn't last long and they have to admit they need more time, and help for that matter, whether from family or friends. i can also see them going off on someone online if that person criticized mc in any way, to the point of not even thinking before writing back.

hannah, noah. they would write. a lot. as a way of coping. it's the only way they would be able to accept it, i know because that's what i did. writing about grief is the only thing that would make them get up from bed, and even then it would take a while for them to actually realize that.
