[autocrats-in-love]

Prompt (483)

The sun beat down on the back of the hero’s neck as they trudged through the desert. Their skin was burnt. Thirst was over taking them. Sand was everywhere. But it didn’t matter. The hero was going to find the villain.

“I see you used the love potion! Good going,” the hero said. “The villain confessed to me earlier this afternoon. We can use this to our advantage.”

“Oh,” the hero’s eyes widened. “Oh no. I have to go find them.”

The hero was waiting outside the villain's class for them.

"Did you steal my study sheets?" the hero said.

The villain shrugged. "There's no way to prove it."

"I knew it!" the hero said, springing up. "Give them back!"

Prompt (479)

"Can you not commit any crime today?" the hero said to the villain over the phone.

The villain frowned. "Why?"

Prompt (478)

The hero laughed. It was too loud, the villain could tell, even over the phone.

“Are. . .are you drunk?” The villain asked.

“I am. And you’re cute,” the hero said, far too happy.

The villain froze. “How do you have my number?”

Another long laugh. “I stole it from a database. Can you come pick me up?”

“Are you serious?” The villain said incredulously.

“Please?” The hero said.

The villain hesitated. “Fine.”

The villain rolled their eyes and tracked the hero’s location. They hoped the hero didn’t remember this in the morning.

[autocrats-in-love]

Prompt (477)

The villain was about to have their crimes waived.

The hero was furious. Which amused the villain to no end.

“Sure. But you don’t have my winning smile.”

“Shut up.”

[autocrats-in-love]

Prompt (476)

“Well.” The hero said. “This is embarrassing.”

Prompt (475)

“Hey,” the hero said, overly friendly.

“I’m busy,” the villain said flatly, not looking up from the papers spread out over their desk.

The hero huffed dropping the act. “Look, I know you hate me, but I’m trying to track down one your contacts. Can you help me?”

“What do I get in return?” the villain asked.

“The knowledge that you did a good deed?”

“Pass.”

The hero sighed. “Fine. You can take me to dinner. One time.”

The villain’s head snapped up. They smiled. “Now we’re talking. What else can I do to you?”

[autocrats-in-love]

Prompt (475)

“I killed your kidnapper,” the villain said, panting.

They were covered in blood. The hero rolled their eyes. The villain was so dramatic.

“Great. Can you untie me now?” the hero said.

The villain looked at the hero thoughtfully. “Hmm. I don’t know, can I?”

“Shut up and cut the ropes.”

[autocrats-in-love]

Prompt (474)

The hero pulled away from the villain. “You taste like blood.”

The villain shrugged. Their hands were still around the hero’s shoulders. “You did just punch me in the face.”

The hero gasped in shock. “You’re bleeding? Oh, I’m so sorry-”

“It’s fine,” the villain said dismissively. “Can we go back to making out now?”

[autocrats-in-love]

Prompt (473)

The hero stared at the villain in horror. The villain stood with a bloody knife in one hand, panting from exertion. They returned the hero’s stare with confusion.

“What?” the villain said. “Did I get blood on my face?”

[autocrats-in-love]

Prompt (472)

The hero sighed at their reflection. A bruise was blooming across their cheekbone, almost reaching their eye.

“Babe,” the hero called. “Do you have any concealer? I think you got me good in today’s fight.”

The villain came up behind the hero and hissed. “Oh, damn. Sorry about that. Yeah, check my bag under the sink.”
