isn't that right, darling?

The Fake Relationship Meme

You're not together. But you need to make people think you are. Because of reasons.

Maybe you secretly can't stand each other. Maybe you like each other, just not like that. (Or do you?) Maybe this is the only way you'll ever get to be with your crush. Maybe you just need to give off that couple vibe in public, or maybe you're going to be forced to engage in some hot'n'heavy fakeout makeouts. For reasons, okay?

You know the drill. Post, tag, profit.

1. Home For The Holidays ⇢ You need to prove to your parents that you do so have a significant other. Just until they're gone.
2. No Singles Need Apply ⇢ The place is perfect, but the landlady will only rent it to a nice, respectable couple.
3. It's Not Safe For A (Wo)man Alone ⇢ One of you is vulnerable in this big, bad world without a partner to protect you.
4. Public Relations ⇢ There's only one way to stop these pesky rumors: start your own.
5. Undercover Mission ⇢ They'll never suspect a couple of lovey-dovey honeymooners of... whatever it is you're actually up to.
6. Marriage Of Convenience ⇢ It's good for both your families. Or your finances. Or your hetero street cred. Whatever: might as well make the best of it.
7. Well That Escalated Quickly ⇢ It's common knowledge that you're together, except you're the last to know. Is it worth correcting people?
8. Free Space ⇢ Bring your own bottle scenario.

[Whatever got them out of there in one piece without him having to pull out the big guns worked for him.

He opened the door for her to get in, following in after and relaxing against the back of the seat.]

Yeah, sure, pizza.

[She gives another smile when he opens the door and she slides in the back. Their driver says his hellos before she’s sitting back next to him in the back of the car.]

My treat. Since that went over a lot easier than expected. [She’s already sending off the pictures.]

Figure we can wrap up here since we have the other thread going

Sure, your treat. Then you get to pick the place.

[He closed his eyes, letting go of that bunch of adrenaline he'd been ready to use if push came to shove. There was always a rush to doing what you weren't supposed to. That was part of what drew him to doing what he did. But sometimes it was a little tiring.]

Works for me

[She picks a place she knows, though there aren’t many of them. She’s pretty pleased with how things went, managing to be in good spirits for the first time since this all started. It feels good to actually do something worthwhile, and her and Eddie made a good team.]
