So here’s one rather cute and sweet, non extreme, possibly oneshoot, Rival!Au
The catch : Mondo works on a dog cafe, Taka works on a cat cafe. The cafes were located straight across from each other.
The catch catch : They are so hopelessly in love but their coworkers and boss were too deep in the ‘business dispute’ (a.k.a MY choice of animal is better than yours) to even accept one of their member dating the ‘opponent’.
A quick thing for that grease like high-school rivals!AU
Rumors say that both Altea high’s two most popular students and“rivals” were seen talking in the park today, most likely about rival-related things!
Ha not
prompt: anon request - “hi! can you write an au where Daniel and the reader are always competing with each other for some reason and end up liking each other? lol thanks!!”
note: my first request! thank you so much for sending it in and remember that my ask is always open! also, i’m using american high school years (freshman - senior year) for this au!
you honestly weren’t sure when exactly your friendly rivalry with daniel started
was it when you tried b-boying in middle school and he couldn’t stop his laugh when he saw you fail to lift yourself off the ground?
or was it when you shot the basketball into the hoop on your first try during gym class when he had been trying for the past fifteen minutes?
the world may never know - it only knew that a rivalry existed
even as you guys entered high school, you just felt a raging desire to beat daniel at every thing that he wanted to beat you in
in freshman year, you guys didn’t even know what to compete in
you guys ended up competing to see who could get the most average grades
you read right: the most average grades
you literally made your teachers add up all the grades for exams and find out the averages
whoever had the closest score to that grade won
you guys kept this up for at least three months until a kind senior that daniel knew, jisung, finally knocked some sense into y’all
“stop intentionally getting lower grades just to be closer to the average! that just shows how dumb you guys are!”
and in sophomore year, you guys competed to see who could volunteer the most time at the local animal shelter
the two of you literally bolted to the shelter right after classes let out, which turned into another semi-competition by racing
he always won but his mom made him go home earlier than you so your times always ended up evening out
and on halloween of that year, you guys wanted to see who could dress up in the most ridiculous costume
he dressed up in a ballerina costume
you dressed up as him lmao
you had on a baggy t shirt and a snapback turned around over your head
the best part? you were wearing bold white glasses to pay homage to his middle school self
he wanted to die when he saw those and admitted defeat just to get you to take them off
in junior year, you guys took part in a “who can feed jaehwan the most disgusting food?” competition
whoever was able to make jaehwan throw up won
spoiler alert: daniel won because he didn’t even bother trying to think up of ways to make food digusting - he just literally put a whole bunch of things in a blender and made jaehwan drink it
also in junior year, you guys had a class trip to an amusement park and battled it out by seeing who could go to the most attractions
you won because he refused to go into the haunted house without seongwu
“you need to hold his hand, huh???”
“shUT UP NO I DON’T”
you were in senior year when you started running out of things to compete in
then you guys remembered that there was such thing as a senior prank
so you already know you guys tried that
you blew up balloons and put them into every single underclassman’s locker
while daniel filled the halls with plastic cups filled with water
you won because he got in trouble for that LOL
you were passing by the principal’s office when you saw him getting scolded
tbh, he was scared of his punishment at first but then he saw you watching him so he decided to act really cool
“daniel, what you did was very dangerous”
“teeeeechnically, it wasn’t because they just had to avoid the cups?”
and with his charming smile and beloved reputation among the teachers, he got off with just a warning
but you both decided you couldn’t be competing in things that could get you in trouble - you wanted safe fun!
so when you saw a freshman by the name of park jihoon flashing around aegyo, you both stared at each other with mischievous smiles
you guys literally had a competition about who could ruin jihoon’s jeojang the most
you did some disgustingly cute/sexy combo of a jeojang
while daniel was extra and called the class to watch him
he took out a cutesy headband and started doing the jeojang several times, making various weird faces
you didn’t even know he had a double chin until that day
he won that competition because the whole class was cheering and to be honest, you couldn’t help but cheer as well
this is when you started to realize your feelings for him: when you couldn’t help but giggle and blush a bit at the embarrassed and flustered cringing daniel did after his little performance
you found him to be so cute but also such a good sport for doing it and in front of the class nevertheless
so you went home that day and just started reminiscing about all the time you’ve spent with him
due to how much you guys have competed with each other, you saw each other a lot
and throughout that time, it was inevitable that you would have fallen for him
just because you guys competed in practically everything, that didn’t mean you guys didn’t get along
you guys were actually good friends and learned a lot about each other, especially during the time you volunteered together at the animal shelter
the first time he held a kitten and a puppy to try to get them to play with each other, you remembered feeling a weird warmth
and when he wore that ballerina costume, you saw how manly his body had become through the thin material of the leotard
when jaehwan actually got nauseous, daniel got so guilty and took really good care of him and you were able to see how sweet he was
and at the amusement park, he was so cute when he was pouty at the idea of going into the haunted house alone
you also saw him picking up all the plastic cups, one by one, even though he wasn’t punished to do so during his senior prank
the jeojang was the last straw for you
“oh my goodness, i’m in love with daniel”
coincidentally, the next day, daniel came up to you with a new proposition: whoever gets the person they want to go to prom with them first wins
this was your chance!!!
you never backed out of a challenge and even if he rejected you, it was senior year - you didn’t have much to lose
except your beautiful friendship but whatever right?
so you bravely went up to his locker after school ended and waited for him to arrive
when he saw you, he looked confused and then smirked
“ah, ready to admit defeat?”
“go to prom with me”
he wasn’t going to admit it but he was shook!!!
he looked at you strangely, but you could tell he was trying to hold in a smile
“um, excuse me?”
“i’ve been in love with you since basically freshman year and i want you to go to prom with me”
you honestly didn’t know where you were getting this courage but it was worth seeing his shocked face
that face slowly turning into a teasing smile
“nope!”
you gaped at him, lowkey hurt at his rejection - he noticed this and corrected himself really quickly
“just because you would win this competition if i said yes!”
and he skipped away happily while you glared at the back of his head
the next day however, you arrived to your locker and opened it to find a whole bunch of balloons floating out of it
at first, you thought it was a revenge prank by some underclassmen
but then you started seeing writing attached to all of the balloons
there were variations of compliments on one side and had “will you go to prom with me?” on the other
you turned around after reading one of the balloons to see daniel holding one of them by the ribbon
“go to prom with me?”
it was your turn to be surprised as you took the balloon from his hand
“this is why you rejected me?!”
he just shrugged,
“i can’t lose another competition to you”
jaehwan appeared next to you guys, holding all of the escaped balloons in his hands and giving you a pleading face
“please just say yes, you guys have been doing competitions for years and i was the victim of one of them...for the sake of the student body, just love each other already”
daniel laughed and looked at you after jaehwan said that
“well, you already love me and i already love you...sooooo, why don’t we end the war and make peace?”
you pretended to think about it and giggled internally when you saw that daniel was starting to get nervous
you gave the poor boy a break and nodded
“only because i’m in the lead - okay, we can have a draw, i’ll go to prom with you!”
and when he hugged you, you let the balloon go, and with it went the competitions you took part in for all those years
you could hear your entire school sigh in relief at no longer having to see the “sexual tension” between the two of you
instead, they gagged on a daily basis at how cutesy you guys would be due to your insistence that you loved daniel more
“no way, i have more love in my body since i’m taller. you’re just a shorty so you can’t love me more”
“my heart is bigger and it’s full of love just for you!”
your school couldn’t wait until you guys graduated
Yo, I did some requests from you all! I do this whenever I feel like it. The first request was from @vanilla0chinchilla, who wanted me to draw Gleam touching Yao’s butt, because shipping. But I decided to put it in my Rival!AU, to make the outcome more hilarious.
The second pic is a request from @imperialotakubot, who wanted me to draw Chansin screaming to Sheen as to why he’s such a jerk. She said that it was like a reference to an episode of Space Ghost Coast to Coast, which I’ve never seen before, but I did the doodle anyway.
And the final one was from @koop-dubi0us, suggesting a doodle between my Chansin and her world Chansin having a conversation. I did my best to do the other Chansin in Koopy’s style and it worked out fine! But I was a little embarrassed in drawing him because she draws him so sexy in her style. You have some good talent there, buddy. I love him 0_0.
But either way, thanks for the requests! I’ll see if I’ll do more soon.
Inspired by this post by @/s-h-sarah, I just had to try XD
Rival!Ethan, kinda goes hand in hand with suspect au, tbh...
He's such an asshole I hate him
This was really fun ngl... though it is extremely ooc... I don't think he'd be this keen to socialize... let alone go insult someone he doesn't know...
He'd have to come post chapter-4 for the order to make sense... maybe a new rival for chapter-5?
I'll be honest I have no idea what his big plan even is, so I have no context for these 😅😅😅
Part 2 to this one; Inspired by this post by @/s-h-sarah
Rival!Sophie :D
Even more OOC for her lmao she barely has any confidence, I don't think she could act like this if she tried XD
She is from Pizza City though so this AU is not completely out of the question
Ngl I had a little trouble with the line widths on the last one, since I drew it separately and edited it in
