"I hate you" villain roared out, pointing their gun at the hero as the cold air swept around them.
Hero hung their head, their eyes shutting close. "I hate myself too."
Villain instantly drew their gun back, taken aback by the hero's statement. "Wait, no, that's not how it's supposed to work–"
Hero let out a sob as they covered their face. "Of course, I can't do anything right. "
"No–"
Here’s some more compliment based dialogue to use in your writing:
“I love that color on you”
“You make me feel at home”
“I’ve never seen eyes the same color as yours”
“You look so cute when you laugh”
“Has anyone ever told you you have really nice hands?”
“I’m not going if you’re not going, it wouldn’t be fun without you”
“How is your skin always so soft?”
“Whoa I didn’t know you could sing”
“You have a great sense of humor”
“I thought you said you can’t dance?”
“I appreciate you”
“Your breath smells really good”
“I’m so lucky to have you”
“You always have great ideas”
“I trust your opinion”
“I would never doubt you”
“You’re so clever”
“I’m rooting for you”
“You always know exactly what to say”
“I feel like I’ve known you forever”
Didn't think I'll witness so much antisemitism in my lifetime thought we agreed on "never again"

“What’s one goal you would fulfill if we weren’t about to die?” Villain asked, fists clenching as cold water touched his fingertips. Soon, it wouldn’t matter that his fingers retreated. The water was rising, and it would only continue to do so.
Hero, in turn, didn’t clench her fists. She said- rather declared, “We’re not going to die.”
“We’re in a tight-sealed box- at the bottom of a lake- with a leak the size of a safety pin point. We’re dead. So tell me your goal.” As a series of silence followed, Villain continued the conversation. “Fine. I’ll go first. I would have liked to done enough damage to a particular someone that I gave them nightmares for the rest of their miserable life.”
“Is this supposed to be some weird introduction to your tragic backstory?”
If Villain could have glared at Hero, he would have. “Spill.”
“That’s not the most appropriate word to use in this scenario.”
“Thought you said we aren’t going to die.”
There was a sigh. Hero shifted, shoulder blades clashing with Villain’s. The water was up to her knuckles. “I don’t have any.”
A hum. “Not sure I believe that.”
Now, another sigh. Hero attempted to pull her hands apart from Villain’s. No use. They were stuck like this, not even able to stand together and investigate their little box. “I’m going to sleep.”
Villain pulled his shoulder forward before slamming it back. “Like hell you are. I’m not sleeping until I can feel water up my nostrils. I’m finding a way out of this.”
Groaning, Hero said, “Now who thinks we’re not going to die?”
“I think the chances of surviving are extremely low, but it’s going to be none if we don’t even try.”
Hero shook her head then leaned it against Villain’s head and closed her eyes with a soft huff. “Supervillain wouldn’t let us die. He just wants a reaction. Thanks to you, he’s getting one.”
“One, get your head off mine before I bust it. Two, he will kill us, and I’m not going down without a fight.”
“You and your dignity…” Her voice almost turned sour but she controlled it. “That’s what’s going to be the death of you.” Hero didn’t move her head.
“No. Water will be. It’s going to fill both of our lungs.”
Hero gave a false chuckle. “You were so bent on us dying just minutes ago. What happened?”
Villain shrugged. “Guess I’m more hell-bent on that goal of mine than I thought.”
Silence. Hero lifted her head.
Then, “That person you want to haunt so badly is Supervillain…” She turned her head, only barely able to see Villain’s cheek. “How long ago?”
“What?”
“How long ago did he traumatize you?”
Big breath. Villain stiffened before saying, “I never said it was Supervillain.”
“Who else would it be? Your parents are gone, you have no siblings, and you only care-” Hero blinked, a realization stunning nearly the same as the freezing water touching her wrists. “Do you care about me? Is that why you showed up to save me?”
When Villain didn’t respond, Hero demanded, “Alright, spill.”

Part 2 here
The cell was damp, cold. Not even a barred window was spared. Hero sighed – Supervillain sure took their precautions.
“What I would give for a knight in shining armour,” they chuckled, mostly to themselves.
“You called?” A figure rounded the corner.
They gasped. “Villain...?”
“The one and only. And to answer that question,” they held out a hand, “perhaps your heart?”

"You'll be left alone here."
Hero didn't even look back. Seemingly not hearing him as she looked for arrows on the ground.
Villain stood at the other side of the room, gripping the rusty dorknob.
"This is hopeless."
She made no indication that she heard him. Only threw a chair that stood between her and a single, glinting arrow.
She then moved next to the arrowslit, trying her bow with it. Not sparing him a glance.
"Do you have death wish? Hero, they have spears and axes and torches- This whole town will turn to ashes."
She kept watching the window. Her posture tense and her breaths shallow.
"Her-"
"Then go,"
Her voice came out as a whisper.
"I am not stopping you."
To that, he found himself to be at loss for words. Because somehow, she did. His nerves urged him to run away, but he could only stand there watching her.
He knew that running away is what he needs to do now.He knew that these bastards marching here will take no prisoners. He knew Hero will not move from where she stands, prepairing to delay the mob for as long as she breaths. Ready to give her life for a chance that the townspeople will manage to get away.
Curse her tenacious soul.
She slightly tilted her face towards him. But in moment they locked eyes she seemed almost... surprised. As if she didn't expect him to still be there.
"You do not have to stay."
She said softly, fully looking at him now. She was battle-ready, but her rich walnut eyes shone with something softer. Will this be the last time he sees them?
"No."
She frowned, studying him carefully.
"Hero, please, this is crazy. How many do you think you'll take? And for WHAT?"
He gestured outside, where panicked families ran away as fast as they could.
"For som- some FOOLS who brought hell upon themeselve?"
"What did they ever do for you? What could possibly ever make you face an army for them!? Th-"
"But you are still here, too."
Hero's voice turned almost hopeful.
Villain looked aside. He should not be here. Maybe he was the crazy one.
"Some things in life are worth protecting. Even from an army."
He didn't even look at her, but could tell that she said it with a smile.
"I know you had it rough, we both had, but can you not imagine this?"
He dared looking back at her. Her eyes stayed steady on him.
"Having something you will fight for until your last breath?"
The way she said it was filled with purpose and hope and... and maybe even...
Before he thought of it, he took out his sword and stepped closer to her. She turned to face him, a relived smile on her features. Her shoulders relaxed when he gently touched her cheek.
A first wave of rushing warriors could be seen from the arrowslit.
"I can, actually."
