🍥 | 'Boyfriend' Scaramouche

You and Scaramouche were classmates who, despite knowing each other for quite some time, were never particularly close. You were friendly with most people, while Scaramouche was... well, Scaramouche. Sharp-tongued, arrogant, and far too smart for his own good.

Then there was your ex. Despite the relationship ending a while ago, your ex still hadn't moved on. He kept trying to get back together, constantly finding excuses to approach you and refusing to take the hint. You didn't want him back, but telling him to leave you alone apparently wasn't enough. So, you came up with a plan.

You needed a fake boyfriend.

And somehow, Scaramouche was the first person who came to mind. When you approached him with the offer, his immediate response was a flat refusal. He had absolutely no interest in pretending to date you just to scare off your ex. That was until you offered him something else. You'd do his homework for him.
Scaramouche was undeniably intelligent, but he was also painfully lazy. The moment you mentioned doing his assignments for him, his expression changed. After a little bargaining, he finally agreed.

And just like that, the two of you became a fake couple. The arrangement seemed simple enough. You'd pretend to be together whenever your ex was around, Scaramouche would play the part convincingly, and once your ex finally gave up, the whole thing would end.

But there was one rule you both agreed on from the beginning.

You couldn't fall in love. It was supposed to be simple. After all, it was only fake dating...
