Enemies to lovers this, friends to lovers that, you know what I love as a trope? When someone doesn’t WANT to be attracted to someone but cannot control it.
It’s not forbidden love or star crossed lovers. It is simply inconvenient. Especially if you have forced proximity as a concept. They cannot fully avoid the object of affection so in order to fight thier feelings they behave rudely towards them.
Unfortunately, the other person likes that. Person A is on their radar to bother anyway. Person B is Very into pestering people as a love language while Person A is definitely frustrated in a multitude of ways.
The tension is palpable with one person losing their mind with their feelings and the other just mindlessly flirting.
