based on tiktok trend "stitch this with something your boyfriend won't let you do"
"Let's play a game where we say things that our boyfriends won't let us do," the woman on your fyp said. "I'll go first."
The video cut to another woman showing off her wonderful man and how he didn't ever try to control her or her actions. But you paid little attention to the specifics of the video, the gears already turning in your mind. You'd been dating your boyfriend, Chris, for nearly three years now, and he was beyond supportive in everything you did. One such thing was your blossoming TikTok career, an accidental creation during your boredom in the early days of the pandemic. A good chunk of your following was the result of you being the girlfriend of Chris Evans and, from time to time, you'd indulge in them and provide content related to Chris. Usually, it came in the form of you reacting to the various TikToks of people thirsting over your boyfriend, but sometimes you'd post videos that showed a sneak peak into your life with Chris.
And this? This was perfect.
You went to the kitchen, hitting the record button and propping your phone up against the toaster before leaning against the counter, trying to act a little bit subtle about your recording so you'd get a more genuine reaction. When it was all set up and ready, you called out, "Hey, Chris?"
"Yeah?" he shouted from the living room.
"Can you come here for a sec?"
You heard Chris grunt slightly as he got off the couch before he padded into the kitchen, asking, "Whatcha need, pretty girl?"
"I was just wondering, like, what won't you let me do?"
His brows furrowed together as he processed the question. "What I won't—I don't know, like heroin? Cocaine?"
You laughed slightly at his thought process. Oh, the fans would die over this. "No, like something I might actually do."
"Oh!" he said. "I wouldn't let you murder somebody."
You blinked. "You think I'd kill somebody?"
"Well, I see how you get when you're in traffic—"
"Okay, okay! Okay, no, like something..." you cut him off. You frowned, decided to give up the subtly in your question, and gestured to your phone. "It's for a TikTok. So, like, what's something a boyfriend wouldn't want a girlfriend to do specifically?"
"I don't like, what's...What do guys try to control? I mean, cut your hair? No, you can cut your hair. Get tattoos? No, you can get tattoos. We should go get a tattoo together, actually. I mean, what are other things guys get pissed about?" he muttered to himself.
You laughed slightly. "But, Chris, baby, is there anything you specifically won't let me do?"
"Uh, I guess cheat?"
"I mean, yeah that's obvious—"
"NO!" he shouted and pointed an accusatory finger at you, startling you. "Once you cheated at Clue."
You couldn't hold back your laughter now. A few years ago, you and Chris went to a good ole fashioned Evans Family Game Night. During a game of Clue, you and Scott had snuck a look at Chris's cards while he went to the bathroom. And when he found out? Oh, you haven't ever been able to live it down.
"Oh my god!" you laughed. "We're not having this fight again!"
"No, no, no, we should!" he said, putting his hands on his hips. "I was so angry when you cheated."
"I said I was sorry!" you tried to defend, but it could barely come out as you were wheezing while you laughed.
"That was like two years ago and—"
"Yeah, two years ago!"
"—and it still hurts!" He sniffed, pretending to cry. "I can't believe you'd cheat like that."
"Oh, bubba!" you said, your tone going a bit softer. You crossed the room and pulled him into your arms, resting your head on his chest. "I promise, I'll never cheat at Clue again."
"You better mean it," he sniffled.
"I do," you said. "But Uno on the other hand..."
"Hey! Okay, you know what? That's the one thing I won't let you do. You're not allowed to cheat at any games anymore!"
You laughed again, already knowing that the fans were definitely going to have fun with this.
