Enemies To Lovers Trope - Tumblr Posts

Enemies to lovers, but without violence.

Now hear me out, the setting a coffee shop, two regulars who hate each other for some reason unknown, and one barista documenting the interactions between the two.

They both do petty things to spite one another, and the whole book is written from the baristas view. Lacking any details, because they're strangers. The whole thing is barista watching two customers glare at one another and one "accidentally" spill coffee on the others computer, which has their completed english final on it. Maybe one of them asks the barista to put extra milk in the others coffee, pretending that the other wanted extra milk. The barista does so, even though they know damn well the other person gets explosive diarrhea from dairy, had to clean the bathroom at the end of their shift once.

Of course this is a public place, so the regulars try and be discreet about their hate for each other. Whispering insults, silent mime-ing arguments, and glaring contests.

None of the stuff that happens outside the coffee shop would be written, unless it's the barista looking at their fridge pondering the expiration date of some cheese, but it's heavily implied that the two regulars have interactions outside the shop.

The choke hold the "I hate everybody and everything but you." trope has me in is fucking disgusting.
