So I figured since I've really been hitting on having a real relationship between you OC and their love interest a lot in my last few chapters that I'd throw out some tips to accomplish this:
1. They don't have to immediately be attracted to each other - you OC and love interest can literally hate each other.but being forced to work together or see each other a lot can cause them to become attracted to each other. That's where sexual tension come in people. That's how you make a spur of the moment thing where they have a great kiss or something 😉
2. Slow burn- slow burn fics take forever it's true but you can actually see their relationship build and then realize their feelings. And no I don't mean have them not like each other at all or interact like at all and then all of a sudden at the end they're in love. I'm talking about a friendship or partnership that makes them question their feelings and makes them catch feelings alright?okay
These are the only things I can think of right now but there's most likely gonna be a part two
