PROMPTS FROM HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL (pt. 2) Assorted dialogue from the 2006 Disney Channel Original Movie. Feel free to adjust pronouns, etc.. part one
Was that a cell phone?
There's something freaky about her.
I will see you in detention.
Do you think that'll work?
About the singing thing…
I don't even wanna talk about it.
Um... why are you hiding behind a mop?
Your friends don't know you're here, right?
Shall the carnage continue?
Now who'd have ever thought that we'd both be here tonight.
Can I have my book back?
It was my fault.
Did you ever want to try something new, but were afraid of what your friends would think?
I can't make it, I gotta catch up on some homework.
Why is everybody staring at you?
What is going on here?
Have you seen Michael Crawford on a cereal box?
I won't attempt to understand the female mind, It's foreign territory.
We're not Charlie's Angels, OK?
We'll get this figured out real soon.
So this is your private hideout?
Do you have to wear a costume?
Not another word.
Is this some kind of joke?
You're not gonna hear me sing.
You really don't wanna do that.
Well, I just humiliated myself into the next century.
Where did those come from?
What the heck are those two doing in a tree?
Can we have a talk, please?
Toodles!
What I want is for you to have fun.
We seem to be experiencing some technical difficulties.
Wait, I baked you some cookies.
Betrayal by a friend prompts
"I defended you. To everyone. Even when they were right."
"I was your friend. I would’ve burned the world for you."
"You let them tear me apart while you stood there and watched."
"You were supposed to be my safe place. Not the reason I flinch when someone says 'trust me."
"The worst part? I’d still forgive you if you just asked. That’s how stupid I am."
"You didn’t just break my trust—you made me question if anyone ever meant it when they said 'friend.'"
"I stood up for you when no one else did. Where were you when it was your turn?"
"You were the last person I thought would hurt me. And maybe that’s why it hurts the most."
"Was it fun? Watching me fall apart while you kept smiling like nothing happened?"
"How long were you lying to my face? Days? Weeks? Or was it always?"
"I would've taken a bullet for you."
Prompt 4
"Where are you going?"
A looked over their shoulder, glaring at B through tear filled eyes.
"Please," B begged, stepping closer. "Talk to me."
"Talk to you?" A clenched their fists. "Talk to you? The way you talked to me? The way you asked before you made a decision?"
"I'm sorry!" B yelled. "I was trying to help."
"Yeah, and what great help you were." A waved a hand at the rubble thst lied around them. "Thank you so much."

Dark Romance Prompts #1
↠ The Captor Who Shouldn’t Have a Heart (But He Does And It’s Beating for Her) She’s been taken. Not by accident. Not by mistake. He wanted her, so he took her. She should hate him, does hate him, but the more time she spends locked in his world, the harder it is to tell where the fear ends and something darker begins. Because the real problem isn’t escaping. It’s that a twisted part of her isn’t sure she wants to.
↠ The Hitman Who Was Supposed to Kill Her, But Couldn’t. She saw something she shouldn’t have, and now there’s a price on her head. He was supposed to pull the trigger, but the moment he looks into her eyes, everything changes. She’s terrified of him, and she should be. He’s done unforgivable things. But now he’s the only thing standing between her and the monsters worse than him.
↠ The Villain’s Bargain (Where Love Is Just Another Kind of Trap) She made a deal with the wrong man. A deal she knew was dangerous, but desperation made her reckless. Now, she belongs to him, body, soul, and whatever’s left of her sanity. And he likes watching her struggle. But the more she fights, the more fascinated he becomes. The real game isn’t power anymore. It’s control. And neither of them knows who’s really winning.
↠ The Underground Fighter Who Can’t Decide if He Wants to Protect Her or Ruin Her. She wandered into the wrong place, at the wrong time, and now she’s tangled up in a world of illegal fights, blood money, and a man who is nothing but danger wrapped in bruised knuckles and whispered threats. He should scare her. He does scare her. But when he fights, it’s not just survival in his eyes. It’s something else. Something dark. And it’s looking at her.
↠ The Mafia Prince Who’s Always Had His Eyes on Her. She’s off-limits. Untouchable. A good girl who doesn’t belong anywhere near his world. He’s cruel, merciless, and doesn’t care about things like
↠ morality. But when someone else threatens to take her, his patience snaps. If the world won’t keep her safe, he will. Even if it means keeping her for himself.
Romantic stuff that just adds everything: (Pulled from different posts)
Midnight drives with street food pit-stops and making out with the car radio playing in the background.
One of them randomly googling super random shit and telling those facts to the other person, and the other one, super sleepy, just nodding along to everything.
silent domestic acts like being in the kitchen together, dressing up together, A drying their hair while they sits between B legs
A randomly ironing B's clothes to annoy them
^ “what are you doing?” “ironing?” “since when do you do that?” “since you told me you don’t enjoy it.”
they come back from work and find their partner crying so they both sit on the floor until they stop— they end up sleeping on the couch
waiting for them to come home in lingerie that you just recently bought in their favorite color.
^ or in an outfit instead of lingerie
“i want to have a family with you—” “what?” “i want to see a mini us running around, wanna see you handle them and then when you get tired i get to watch you sleep with them in my arms.” “it’s not that easy—” “but i get to do it with you." (AWWWWWWWWWW)
kissing in the middle of an argument
Them kissing after sharing clothes for the first time
getting them their favorite food or treat as reconciliation after accidentally hurting their feelings
Sorry for not including who made them, if you are not happy with your work being put up there then please don't hesitate to message me and I will edit yours out or put credits*
Can you do a prompt list where two enemy soldiers have to work together in order to find safety/refuge? Except, they actually get along together and would do anything to protect the other? It's okay if you're not comfortable doing this. If you are comfortable writing this, take your time! Your mental health is more important.
Enemy Soldiers Working Together Prompts
-> feel free to edit and adjust pronouns as you see fit.
Smoke curled through the chapel, dust drifting in sunbeams like falling ash. He pressed the muzzle of his rifle against the other soldier’s chest, breath ragged. "I should kill you." The man beneath him didn’t flinch, just looked up, blood drying at the corner of his mouth. "Then why haven’t you?" The rifle trembled. And slowly, almost imperceptibly, lowered.
She collapsed in the mud, her leg slick with blood, eyes half-lidded. He cursed under his breath and dropped to his knees, ripping fabric from his own sleeve. "Don’t close your eyes," he hissed, wrapping her wound with shaking fingers. "You’re not dying here. Not like this." Her lashes fluttered. "Didn’t know you cared."
The night air bit through their jackets, the silence between them as cold as the frost gathering on their breath. He curled up under a broken beam, facing away. She lay stiff on the opposite side, arms folded tight. But as the hours dragged on, their bodies moved like magnets. She woke before dawn, his arm draped around her waist, both of them pretending not to notice when the sun finally rose.
They met in a burnt-out hallway, rifles raised, fingers on triggers. No one spoke. Only the slow, measured breaths of two soldiers too tired to shoot first. "If you fire," he said, "they’ll hear it." Their knuckles whitened. Then, slowly, they lowered the barrel. "You go first," they said. He did, but not before turning his back, just to see if they'd pull the trigger. They didn’t.
He sat on the edge of the creek, boots in the water, rifle discarded in the grass. "I don’t know why I’m still fighting," he said. "I don’t even remember what started it." She knelt beside him, their shoulders brushing. "Maybe it doesn’t matter anymore," she murmured. "Maybe we just fight to keep each other alive now."
She watched him wrestle with the snare wire, brow furrowed, cursing under his breath. "You’re doing it wrong," she said, stepping closer. "Here, like this." Her hands covered his, slow and patient. He didn’t pull away. "Where’d you learn that?" he asked. "Home," she said. "Before the war turned it into rubble."
They sat on the rusting roof of a bombed-out train car, stars scattered above like dust across velvet. She pulled her knees to her chest. "Do you think there’s a place where we aren’t enemies?" she asked. He looked at her profile in the moonlight, something wistful in his gaze. "I think we’re already there," he said. "Just took hell to find it."

-:"Can two spies be lovers?" Enemies to lovers -spy edition- prompts:-
(As a writer, this is one of the hottest tropes out there—just saying, tag me if you write theseeeeee)
By @me-writes-prompts
"You have no right to save me!" "As a human being, I do. As a spy, I don't. But I still did, so quit whining and be thankful, brat."
They just had to be on the same mission, working together, unknowingly.
"Are you into me?" "What? no!!" "Then why do you keep pinning me to the wall?" "I-..."
Getting locked up in the same place
^^"What are you doing here?" "I could ask you the same." "I would rather die than be here. God." "Hey!"
Having to pretend that they are a couple in a ball!!
"You think you're better than me? Please." "I'm better than you because I'm more dangerous!" "I'm better than you because I'm more dangerous!" Cue a fight.
They just so happen to be in a narrow alleyway, with nowhere to turn.
"I guess you're not so bad after all." "Yeah, you're tolerable too." "Wow, thank you for such a big compliment." "You're welcome." "Jerk."
They need the other's help to escape a hazardous situation.
^^"You didn't need to rescue me or whatever. I don't need your help." "You need it more than you realize, or let on."
"Next time, try not to shoot a bullet my way." "Well, screw me for trying to save you. I wish I had aimed it at you." "*Gasps!*"
The other one keeps bragging, and in a "moment of foolishness", they kiss them to shut them up.
"I didn't know you could do that." "You sound impressed." "Hardly." "As a spy, you're not a good liar." "Shut up."
The unfamiliar protectiveness kicks in when they see the other injured/wounded.

i trust everyone. it's the devil inside them i don't trust.
that's an interesting saying.
i had a real bad experience, man.

you know what "fine" stands for? freaked out, insecure, neurotic, and emotional.

i'm gonna need your shirt and your truck.
you're not too bright, are you?
what did you do to your hand?
don't talk about right or wrong with me, because i don't give a shit.
we made our play, and i came out on top.
what is your play here, really?

there are two kinds of thieves in this world: the ones who steal to enrich their lives, and those who steal to define their lives. don't be the latter.
what are you talking about?
find somebody you want to spend the rest of your life with, and hold onto them forever.
just give me a minute.
take all the time you need.
why don't you just come by? we'll have some breakfast.
you blew the best thing you had going for you. you blew the element of surprise.

Fictional kiss prompts
Forbidden Kiss Prompts (“We’re not supposed to do this” but oops, we are)
a kiss in the shadows, hands clenched in fabric, trying to stay quiet because someone might hear.
“We can’t—if someone sees us…” — and then they kiss anyway, consequences be damned.
a stolen kiss through the bars of a prison cell, whispered promises of escape in between.
a “we’re on opposite sides” kiss during a truce, lips barely touching because if they kiss fully, they’ll never walk away.
a last-second kiss right before one of them is betrothed to someone else.
Angsty Reunion Kiss Prompts (“I thought I lost you” edition)
a kiss the second they see each other again—rough, breathless, and on the verge of falling apart.
a kiss interrupted by tears, hands holding like they’re afraid to let go.
“Why didn’t you come back?” whispered into their mouth between kisses.
a kiss where they pause halfway through just to look at each other, both a little older, a little more broken.
a kiss that tastes like salt and rain and survival.
Soft Domestic Kiss Prompts (Wholesome fluff to rest your soul)
a sleepy morning kiss, lazy and warm, exchanged without even opening their eyes.
a kiss planted absentmindedly on the top of the other’s head while making tea.
a kiss stolen while brushing their teeth together—foam and giggles included.
a soft kiss over a grocery list, mid-aisle, because “you looked too cute to ignore.”
the kind of kiss shared in bed while reading—just because one of them couldn’t help it anymore.
Post-Confession Kiss Prompts ( “Oh my god this is real” edition)
a kiss that stumbles right after the words “I love you,” like neither of them know what to do with their hands.
“You mean it?” — “Yeah.” — cue the most careful, reverent kiss of their lives.
a kiss that starts with laughter and ends in a dazed, overwhelmed silence.
one of them whispering, “You have no idea how long I’ve wanted to do this,” right before kissing them senseless.
a kiss that comes too fast after the confession, clumsy and colliding—because they’ve waited too long.
First Kiss Prompts (that change everything)
a kiss that starts mid-sentence, because one of them couldn’t wait one more second.
the trembling, breath-held pause right before their lips finally touch—eyes wide, hearts racing.
“If I kiss you right now, will you hate me?” – they kiss them anyway.
the kiss that’s followed by shocked silence, and then one of them blurts, “Okay… wow.”
the hesitant brush of lips—barely there—until one of them pulls the other closer like they’ve made up their mind.
Comfort Kiss Prompts (Love as a safety net)
a kiss placed gently on a trembling hand.
a kiss offered like a promise—“I’m here. I’m staying.”
a forehead kiss given after a nightmare, while whispering soft reassurances.
“You don’t have to be okay right now.” – kissed on the temple like a prayer.
the quiet, slow kiss after a panic attack, grounded in breathing and touch.
Jealousy Kiss Prompts (when emotions boil over)
a sudden, possessive kiss that shocks both of them—especially because they weren’t “together.”
a kiss to shut someone up mid-flirt—“They’re with me.”
“You’ve been avoiding me.” – “Because I saw you flirting with them.” – followed by a sharp, angry, perfect kiss.
the kind of kiss that starts in fury but ends in breathless “I need you.”
a kiss that screams “You’re mine. Even if you don’t know it yet.”
Accidental / Surprise Kiss Prompts
tripping and falling directly into a kiss—then freezing in shock as realization sets in.
a practice kiss to “make it look real” that very much does not stay platonic.
a drunken kiss that was supposed to be a dare, but lingers just a second too long.
mistaking the other person for someone else in the dark—“oh… wait—” – “don’t stop.”
an “oops-I-thought-you-were-joking” kiss that they immediately want to do again on purpose.

❛ who gave you the authority to make this decision? you've doomed us all! ❜
❛ live in the present, remember the past, and fear not the future, for it doesn't exist and never shall. there is only now. ❜

Forced Proximity Dialogue Prompts
Haven't done one of these in a while.
"Come on, this isn't funny." "I'm not joking. It's locked."
"Is that the only tent we have?"
"There's only one bed." "Well, darlin', I'm not sleeping on the floor, so I guess we'll have to share."
"I'm your bodyguard. It's in the job description to protect you at all times." "Well, could you at least 'protect' me from over there?"
"You have got to be kidding me. I have to share a room with you."
"What do you mean there's only one sleeping bag? You had one job."
"Quit following me!" "I was hired to follow you, princess, better get used to it."
"What the hell is that noise?" "Uh, yeah, slight problem. We're out of gas."
"Where are you going? We're in the middle of nowhere!" "Yeah! And whose fault is that?"
"Look around, love. In case you hadn't noticed we're snowed in. So unless you plan to freeze to death, we'll have to find a way to keep each other warm."
"I may be stuck with you, but I don't have to like it."
"Is now a bad time to tell you I'm claustrophobic?"
"Your heart's racing. Now, I know being pressed up against me is exhilerating and all, but I'm trying to concentrate on picking this lock."
"What are you? Afraid?"
"Uh. Slight problem. We're trapped."
"Well, which way, smartass?" "Uh. We might be lost."
Angry Dialogue

"I trusted you, and this is how you repay me?"
"Are you happy now that you ruined it all?"
"Don't you dare walk away while I'm talking to you!"
"Is this all just a joke to you?"
"Great, this is just great, so perfect."
"Do you actually believe the bullshit you're saying?"
"It's so frustrating trying to talk to you!"
"Oh, so now it's my fault? How convenient!"
"I can't believe I ever trusted you!"
"You think a simple 'sorry' will fix this?"
"How could you do this to me?"
"Do you even care how much you are hurting me?"
"This is absolutely not what I signed up for!"
"Stop blaming me for your mistakes!"
"You never listen—ever!"
"I can't believe you thought I wouldn't find out."
"Are you seriously trying to justify this?"
"Oh, you want to fight me? You're so immature!"
"Nothing you say can make this right!"
