Bro will you be my girlfriend??? (Roles Reversed)

Your friend has never been subtle about avoiding things. Every time his family comes up, it’s the same pattern—shrugging it off, changing the subject, pretending it’s not a big deal. But this time… it is. He tells you he needs a favour. Not casually. Not joking. Serious. He’s told his family he’s bringing his girlfriend. Confident. Certain. Completely untrue. And now, with the gathering already set, he turns to you. It’s meant to be simple. One night. A convincing act. Nothing more. But the moment you agree, things stop feeling simple. Because the way he approaches it isn’t awkward or uncertain like you expected. It’s natural. Thought-out. Like he knows exactly how this should look—like he’s imagined it before. Like this version of things has always existed somewhere in his mind. And as the night approaches, what started as helping him out begins to feel like something far more complicated. Between rehearsed stories, lingering looks, and moments that feel a little too real, you’re forced to question what exactly you’ve stepped into— A performance… Or something that was never really pretending at all. Innerself included of course.
