Watching them lose to someone else. This is a weird one. You spend all your time wanting to defeat them, and then you see them get crushed by a third party. Instead of feeling triumphant, you feel furious on their behalf. That protective rage is a blinding flash of clarity about your true priorities. Defending their honor against the outside world becomes instantly more important than your personal quarrel.

You know, I'm just here for the fan art and fanfic that explores all these beats. The canon sometimes rushes it, but the fandom will spend 100k words on the exact moment a hand brushed during a sword fight. I'm not an expert on the mechanics, I just enjoy watching other people pick it apart and wallow in the tropes. It's fun to see how different writers handle the same core idea.

Seeing the rival be kind to someone else. Watching them gently help a stranger, or be patient with a child, or care for an animal. It reveals a character layer completely separate from the competitive persona you've been clashing with. It's disarming and deeply attractive. You're left thinking, 'Oh. That's who they are when they're not fighting me.' It makes the rivalry feel like a role they play specifically with you, which is weirdly intimate.

“What’s your name?” His deep voice resonates in her ears and he eyes her with interest.
“H-Halsey S-Scott!” She manages to say.
“Is that girl looking at us?” He tilts his head to indicate his ex-girlfriend who’s glaring at them.
“Yeah…”
“Good.”
Without another word, he kisses her on the lips.
A kiss which sealed their fates.
One kiss from the school’s bad boy and it was over for her.
Ever since her parents died, Halsey Scott prefers to live a quiet life. Shy and quiet, Halsey is only free around her best friend, Lincoln Wright, the school's rising basketball player.
But what happens when she catches the eye of the notorious bad boy?
Nathan Jacobs doesn't believe in love. He only cares about his popularity and is a bully. Harboring an intense hatred towards Lincoln, Nathan will do anything to hurt his rival.
And the only way to hurt Lincoln, is to crush Halsey's heart.
Initially scared of Nathan, Halsey soon finds herself torn between her loyalty to her best friend and her dangerous attraction for the bad boy.
What will happen when Nathan's plans are revealed? Will he succeed in breaking Halsey's heart? Or will the bad boy finally fall in love?
Jeremy
He was my friend. The only one who understood me in my silence. I never needed anyone else with him by my side but...
Why does he have to do it? He agreed to marry me because my parent's company was in debt and getting married to me was the only option to get my company running. So, he backstabbed me and stole me away from my love.
If he thinks he will get my heart and body? He is mistaken. I am not a showpiece or a decoration. I only love Olivier and Magnus will never have me.
Magnus..
Jeremy thinks I have married him because of his parent's company. But he is wrong. So wrong. He doesn't even know that I have always loved him, and he is my only Love.
Yes, it hurts when he goes to his EX, but I will make him fall in love with me and I will tell him that I don't want his money, but his heart.
And I am sure of my love that one day I will.
