Friends to lovers prompts please?

Friends - To - Lovers AUs

“I can’t keep doing this!”“Doing what?”“That’s exactly what I’m talking about. I can’t keep ignoring what we have.”

“I refuse to go from being friends from one minute to your lover the next. It’s tearing me up inside.”

I’m sorry. But I can’t stand watching you with them, they’re not good enough for you.

I can’t believe I’m lucky enough to have fallen in love with my best friend.

I was having a really shitty day and you turned up at my house with all my favourite foods and just said all the right things. Wow, why have I never seen you this way before?

It makes me feel sick to my stomach listening to you coo over your new partner. And the worst part is that I have to smile and nod like it’s not killing me inside. 

Something happened and we agreed to never discuss it again. For the past two months, you keep trying to bring it up but I shut you down every time. I don’t want to ruin what we have. 

“I’m a little bit nervous. I’ve rehearsed this in my head a lot and I just didn’t think I’d have the chance to say it.”“Well, why don’t you let me talk?”

“You knew? All this time you watched me get nervous and flustered and embarrass myself in front of you and you knew? Do you know how many times I laid in bed regretting every embarrassing thing I had said?

I only found out you were in love with me because your mum let it slip over dinner; and seriously??? you’ve loved me for that long?

This is possibly the worst way for you to have found out and I’m never going to live this down.

I didn’t have a date to prom so I joked that we should go together, I wasn’t actually expecting you to show up on the night in a dress/tux with flowers and a limousine??? you really went all out?

“so are you guys friends?”“yes.. no! yes — no. yes. it’s just complicated right now.”

You refused to tell me who your crush is so when you went to the bathroom I decided to read your diary because, as your best friend, I deserve to know. haha, I’m gonna find out who your crush i— holy shit, it’s me.

now that I know you have a crush on me, I’ve been debating whether to bring it up for the last half an hour and analysing every little thing you do and Jesus Christ, I don’t know if I can wait before you tell me.

“Let’s just pretend this never happened.”

“I’m not okay with just pretending.”

I never would’ve played that game of Spin the Bottle if I knew it’d change everything so much.

“It was just a game. It didn’t mean anything.”“It did to me.”

“No, we’re not dating. Why would you think we were?”“Have you seen each other together? Strangers probably think you’re married!”

Yeah, so I had a dream about you once and I keep thinking about what it’d be like if that was a reality.

Is that what my subconscious has been thinking about this whole time?

We’ve known each other for years and I can count on my fingers the number of awkward silences we’ve had. Why has that suddenly changed?

Ok, maybe talking about whether fish have feet would’ve been acceptable when we were friends but I think it’s just considered weird as a couple.

We never touch each other so when you patted my arm lightheartedly, I literally think my heart leapt out of my chest and danced. Please do that again.

How to develop your own writing style

Developing your writing style is a continuous process that requires time and effort. Here are some tips to help you find your voice:

Read widely

Read a variety of books, articles, and other writing to expose yourself to different styles and perspectives. Take note of writing styles you admire and consider why they appeal to you.

Write regularly

The more you write, the more you'll develop your writing skills and style. Write in a journal, start a blog, or write for a personal project to get regular practice.

Experiment with different writing styles

Try writing in different styles to see what works best for you. Play around with voice, tone, and syntax to develop your own voice.

Study grammar and syntax

A good understanding of grammar and syntax will help you write more effectively and with more confidence.

Revise your writing

Revision is key to improving your writing style. Read your writing critically and consider how you can make it more concise, clear, and engaging.

Seek feedback

Share your writing with others and ask for feedback. This will help you identify strengths and weaknesses and give you a fresh perspective on your writing.

Remember, developing a writing style takes time and practice. Don't get discouraged if it doesn't happen overnight. Keep writing and experimenting, and you'll find your voice eventually. Good luck!
