Okay, when I say I love rivals to lovers, I mean it in a very yaoi way, I mean it in a 'boys will be boys' way. Like they're obsessed with each other from the start, they find each other so fucking hot, but the testosterone running through them makes them both really fucking stupid. Neither understand that they have the biggest, fattest crush on each other; they misinterpret the need to impress the other as competition, and thus: they must be rivals
Throw in them both being sadomasochists and switches, and fist fights between them suddenly become their love language, it becomes a couple's activity. Fights mean they get to be as close as possible to their crush and they're getting to touch each other, and they're pinning each other to the ground, so it's already extremely intimate. Throw in the high they both when dealing and exchanging blow[job]s and it might as well be foreplay
Especially where at the end, the tension gets so thick and unbearable that they impulsively kiss. And maybe for a moment, they're both stunned, a bit horrified even, but they're unable to resist it any longer and they just start actually making out and even sleep together
Bonus points if it's omegaverse, and the sweetheart one is the alpha and the hothead is the omega, because you might as well throw in brat and brat tamer
And it's not about just lust, there's also a deep-seated affection, especially from the sweetheart. And thus, the fighting is how the sweetheart gets it through the hothead's thick skull, and then they get to be oh-so tender with the latter with kisses and pleasure when it inevitably leads to the bedroom
And oh, they're also EXTREMELY possessive and protective of each other, AND they can read each other better than anyone ever could
....This might indirectly be a Dekubaku post
