fake dating tropes


the f ake dating
┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ a meme
→ COMMENT WITH YOUR CHARACTER'S NAME, FANDOM, AND PREFERENCE.
→ PICK A CHARACTER YOU WANT TO TAG AND HIT UP RNG (01-10), OR CHOOSE A SCENE OF YOUR OWN.
→ PLAY NICE; NO WANK, FLAMES, OR GENERAL HUMBUGGERY.
┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ the scenarios

WORK RELATED: you're probably undercover or some sort of spy, gathering intel or trying to get into some exclusive place. may or may not have feelings for the other person
JEALOUS EX: they are always around you, and whether or not you're over them, you want that trophy partner to show off.
BET: someone made you a bet to be with this person or that you couldn't last with this person or some other thing, but whoopsy, feelings got involved.
RUNAWAYS: young adults on the run, safer in pairs
RUMORS: everyone is already saying you did something sexual with them or you're already assumed to be together. why not keep the rumor going?
CONTINGENCY PLAN: it was never supposed to be like this, but you made a pact or an agreement (maybe even paid this person to be your partner or was paid to be with this person), and now you're with them.
WEDDING/ PARTY/ BIG EVENT: you told your mother you were bringing someone just to get her off your back. so you brought someone and everyone thinks you're together.
PUBLIC RELATIONS: one or both of you is famous. someone is getting some publicity out of this arrangement, but there's definitely supposed to be a life expectancy to this relationship.
CITIZENSHIP: a much harder thing to pull off considering it's actual fraud, but it does bring about a certain kind of quick intimacy.
WILD CARD: ROLL MORE THAN ONCE AND COMBINE SCENARIOS, CHOOSE YOUR FAVOURITE, OR MAKE UP YOUR OWN!

[ he's beautiful, but that's not what catches childe's attention. the city of freedom brims with beauty, after all, picturesque and serene. even its people don't carry the weight of hardship in the same way that snezhnayans do.

no, it's something else. childe chooses a table in the tavern closest to the gaggle of knights, not bothering to hide his stare; what use would it be, when all of mondstadt has marked his arrival since the moment he passed the gates? he's a sponge for attention, no matter its nature, but it's getting a bit ridiculous.

regardless, here he is now on a quiet wednesday evening, nursing a tankard of beer (monstadt's hard liquor is disappointing compared to snezhnaya's fare, so he's cutting his losses), with a book open before him. if you asked him what he's reading, he'd have to lie. he'd strolled in at dusk, intending on people-watching for awhile, but his plans had quickly been derailed.

because he can sense it, like a hand closing over his throat. the darkness that plagues his dreams even now. the way it had pulled him down into the mire, heart and mind polluted until he, too, was indistinguishable from the shadows. few can recognize the stench of the abyss on his skin, but even inhale reminds childe of how little he resembles the boy he once was. this is the first time that he's sensed the rot upon another.

—and captain kaeya certainly is an interesting mark. it isn't only his men that flock to him: it seems as if everyone who enters the tavern needs to taken a moment to offer him a word. childe was popular in his hometown, and in liyue up to a point, but never has he managed the charm that sir kaeya seems to radiate. even after he's downed a measure of drink, he loses none of his panache.

childe waits. he waits until the drunken adventurer's guild files out, until the "six-fingered" bard passes out against the doorframe, until charles the bartender has swung by his table half a dozen times to refill his tankard. the knights slowly trickle out the door, until sir kaeya drinks alone. after the intense scrutiny childe had turned upon him, of course he'd known to stay. he's a knight of mondstadt, so his duties involve making sure the harbinger in town isn't causing any problems.

the chill in the air only intensifies as the patrons of angel's share file out. childe runs his fingers over his lips, his heart thudding in his chest. he could leave this little mystery behind and go about his business. he's in mondstadt simply because the tsaritsa had wanted him to stay out of the way for awhile, he knows, even though he's been given haphazard orders about investigating the nearby ruins. and yet - childe's never been one to ignore an opportunity once it presents itself.

and sir kaeya of mondstadt, who has set off every alarm in childe's mind simply by virtue of his existence, is the opportunity of a lifetime.

so childe slips into the bench beside kaeya, a death after noon in hand, once they are the lone conscious patrons in the tavern. up here, even the bartender can't see them. ]


Tartaglia, at your service. [ he nudges an empty glass away and sets his offering before kaeya. he's smiling, guileless. ] Though I suppose you know that already.
