When it's fake but it feels real

"FAKE" FAKE DATING MEME
aka 'fake turned real'

Whether you're trying to make someone else jealous, trying to save a stranger from a creep on the subway, doing a spy mission, running a con, trying to get your parents off your back about being single at a holiday dinner, or any number of other reasons, fake relationships are a hugely popular trope. From there, the hook that sinks downward is that the best laid plans go awry; what started off as pretend turns all too real. Of course, that'd never happen to you, right?

...rrrrrriiiiight?

[[ OoC: I'd love to plot a little so that we can work out an exact scenario for "fake" fake dating beforehand! Adela tends to not be very open an honest about how she's really feeling due to embarrassment, which usually leads to her getting pretty grumpy/agitated over said embarrassment. So naturally she'd be absolutely awkward and awful at faking a relationship, right...? ]]

It took little to no effort for Mitsuhide to precure clothing that would let he and Adela to blend into the city of the strange world they found themselves in. It was only for a simple reconnaissance mission to see if this world posed a threat to others. But he will have Adela with him, which complicated things a little. As charming as he found the little red head, she wasn't exactly suited for this kind of this kind of work. So he also needed to keep a close eye on her to make sure she didn't blow their cover. Of course he came up with an idea that will not only keep her close, but also give him the most amusement out of, since he knew it would drive her crazy.

"Stay close my dearest little one," he said with a teasing smile as they walked a long, looking like any other couple on a date. "I don't want lose you in this crowd."

I sure did!

[ m/m 21+ whether it's more of an on the fly situation with your character stepping in to help discourage obviously unwanted attention, or it's something more involved/plot entangled, i'm open. pm if you want to talk first - probably a good idea for anything not spur of the moment! ]
