“you’re a really famous actor and i am completely obsessed with you but then i see you getting swarmed by fans one day and you look really distressed so i run in heroically and save you and now we’re hiding in a dumpster and you’re complaining about the smell and i’m trying to keep my cool as we wait for the coast to be clear” au

“we get fake-married when we’re in preschool and we’re in highschool now and i have a massive crush on you and you have no idea and then one day i try to ask you out but end up proposing by accident and you’re so shocked you say yes and suddenly everyone thinks we’re getting married again and helping us make plans and making a fuss but we haven’t even had our first kiss” au
“you’re an activist protesting outside my family home because my parents are bad people and you’re really cute and your sign is funny so i sneak out of the window and join in to the rally and now it’s two years on and i’ve moved out and we’re partners in crime and i really enjoy it and it’s really fulfilling and nice, and you ask me why i joined up and i blurt that you looked really cute and you think i’m just in it for that when i’m really not” au
“you’re a fanfiction writer and i always read your works and one day you stop writing my favourite fic and i hear you talking about it at school with your friends and once i’m over the shock i shout at you to continue it and now i’m at your house throwing chips at you for motivation as you write out the next chapter” au
