Muse A was a rich city boy/girl and they’ve basically lived their whole life in their New York penthouse, with their parents. Muse Bis a country guy/gal, living in a small town and who works for a living at a local farm. Muse A finds out that one day, their grandparent dies and leaves them a huge piece of land, which happens to be the farm that Muse B worked at. Muse A comes to town for the funeral and checks out the farm they now own. Muse B is mad that they didn’t get the land and doesn’t think Muse A is fit to run the farm. Muse A tries to prove them wrong by deciding to stay in town longer to work on the farm. Angst/Rivalry/Friendship/Romance?/fighting ensues.
Muse A is a fancy shopaholic, drives nice cars, goes to expensive restaurants every night, goes to celebrity parties every weekend, type of person. Muse B is a free spirit, always traveling, going on adventures in the wilderness, not really staying in one place kind of guy/girl. Muse A is used to getting everything they like, so when they see Muse B in a coffee shop, they approach them. Unfortunately for Muse A, Muse B doesn’t really seem into them and explains that they’re leaving for a trip to climb Everest very soon. Muse A doesn’t understand how extreme this trip is and offers to ‘tag along’ (since they have the money for it). Muse Bexplains that it takes years to practice climbing mountains, especially one of the tallest mountains on earth. But Muse A isn’t deterred. They lie to Muse B, telling them that they’ve been mountain climbing plenty of times (though most of that is just hiking up small mountain trails). Muse B shrugs it off and allows Muse A to come along with them and their friends. On the mountain, lots of Muse B getting angry with Muse A, Muse A beginning to fall for Muse B for more than just looks, Muse A’s overpacked bags come in handy when Muse B is feeling down and those treats that were ‘extra baggage’ and ‘stupid’ really come in as good comfort food. The two learn a lot about each other and maybe fall in love on this epic adventure?
Muse A is studying abroad! They come to Muse B’s country and go to school there, getting their education, while also learning aboutMuse B’s culture. Lots of Muse B showing Muse A around to the tourist sights, while also bringing them to the places tourists never think to go. (bonus points if both muns are from different countries, so we can actually learn about each other’s cultures!)
Muse A is the most popular girl/guy in school. Muse B is one of the smartest people in the county. While most fawn over Muse A, Muse B really didn’t care much. Muse B had a bright future ahead of them and they didn’t really care for the party/popular scene in the school. In their senior year, Muse A had come back from a summer long vacation, on a cruise ship, then a penthouse hotel on an island, so they’ve come back pretty happy and content, as per every year. Muse B had been on a science trip, going to islands and observing wildlife with some of the best scientists around. Needless to say, Muse B’s adventures in the wilderness left them looking AMAZING. They were hot. Muse A definitely took notice. When Muse A tries to ask out Muse B, Muse B denies them of a date. Mostly because Muse B didn’t like that ‘popular kids’ were always assholes. Muse A isn’t ready to accept this, so they join all the academic clubs, meeting all of Muse B’s friends, and basically tries to climb a new social ladder. In the process, Muse A gets a new understanding of what a person can be, going beyond social status and looks, Muse B sees that they were pretty hypocritical, since they were quick to deny Muse A, because of their social status (even though that’s what they thought ‘popular kids’ did). They even see that Muse A is a good person, willing to go through all this for them. And maybe Muse A finds out they’re actually extremely smart in a certain subject? (Bonus points if Muse A finds this out during an academic competition, where Muse B is stumbling on the answers a little, then Muse A swoops in and saves the day).
