It started with a fake relationship [Tighnari x Cyno]

Chapter 28

Tighnari and Cyno walked down the stairs holding hands. The first two people they saw were Al Haitham and Crystal, who were waiting near the stairs for them,

„ Oh hey! Happy Birthday dude!", Al Haitham said faking a smile.
„ Happy birthday!", Crystal said.

„ Thanks guys!", Cyno said, „ Are you guys going swimming? You can use the bathroom upstairs to get changed! Tighnari and I are gonna swim now!"

„ Thanks, we will join you guys shortly after!", Al Haitham said.

Cyno and Tighnari headed outside, while they holding hands and running outside.

„ The plan better work out!", Al Haitham whispered to Crystal, as she nodded her head.

Crystal and Al Haitham headed upstairs. Crystal first used the bathroom to get changed, then Al Haitham used the bathroom once Crystal was finished.

Once they both were in their swim wear, both of them walked downstairs and headed outside. The pool was packed. Many people were already drunk, some people were in the pool splashing each other, some people were dancing to the music that was playing, and some people were lying under the sun.

Al Haitham immediately spotted Cyno in the pool.
He was carrying Tighnari in his arms and was showering his cheek with kisses.

„ Their relationship makes me sick!", he whispered to Crystal.
„ Me too! Oh to be Tighnari!", she growled.

That moment, two girls approached Crystal. One girl had red hair and bangs, and the other girl had dark hair and bangs.
„ Oh my! We thought you'd be at this party, Crystal!", the red head girl said.

Crystal made eye contact with Al Haitham.
„ Al Haitham, I'm gonna spend some time with my friends Nilou and Dehya!", Crystal said.
„ Have fun!", Al Haitham said.

The three girls walked off.

As agreed, Al Haitham and Crystal would only start with their plan in 2 hours.

In the meantime, Crystal was drinking and dancing with her friends. Al Haitham was lying in the sun, pretending to just scroll on his phone, but instead, he was observing the couple.

He hated seeing how happy they both were. They constantly would have laughs, they would splash each other in the pool, they would show off who could dive better into the pool, they would see who could swim the fastest, they would kiss, they would hug, and so on.

After almost 2 hours, Cyno and Tighnari got out of the pool.

They both saw Al Haitham lying in the sun, so they approached him.
„ Hey! Aren't you gonna swim?", Cyno asked, „ Usually, the only reason why you go to my house is to use the pool!"

„ I will swim soon!", Al Haitham said smiling, although this time, he wasn't planning on swimming since he was more concentrated on the plan.
„ Well, Tighnari and I are gonna have a drink now! Would you like something to drink as well?", Cyno asked.

Al Haitham knew that this was time time to start the plan.
„ May I help with serving the drinks? You are the birthday boy after all, and shouldn't be working!", Al Haitham said.

Cyno smiled.
„ That would be kind! Thanks!", Cyno thanked, „ I would like a glass of tequila, and Tighnari would like a glass of vodka please!"

„ You guys wait here, I'll be right back!", Al Haitham said as he walked off.

He immediately took out his phone and texted the gang.

Al Haitham: Ok, we can start the plan. Thankfully, Cyno allowed me to pour the drinks so so far, so good!

Crystal: I'll be there with the potion right away

Kris: I'll be there to take the photo

Al Haitham: Crystal, you should distract Cyno since I will have to be with Tighnari to kiss him

Crystal arrived around 30 seconds later with the potion. Al Haitham took it from her, then discretely poured it into Tighnari's glass of vodka.

He then walked out with the drinks. Cyno wasn't there, it was just Tighnari.
„ Hey, where is Cyno?", Al Haitham asked, although he knew that Crystal had already distracted him.
„ He just left with Crystal! He is in the living room, so you can give him his drink there!", Tighnari said.

„ Don't start drinking yet!", Al Haitham said, „ I would like to drink and chat with you. First, I need to give Cyno his drink!"

Al Haitham approached Cyno, and handed him his drink.
„ Thanks!", Cyno thanked as he smiled.

Al Haitham went to pour himself a glass of beer, then he returned to Tighnari.

„ Cheers!", he said to Tighnari.
„ Cheers!", Tighnari said.

Finally, the moment came: Tighnari had taken a sip out of his drink.

In the meantime, Kris had snuck through the garden and hid behind a bush to take a photo of Tighnari and Al Haitham kissing for evidence.

Now, Al Haitham had to wait for the potion to work.

„ So, this must be your first time swimming in Cyno's pool, right?", Al Haitham asked, pretending he wasn't looking to acting suspicious.
„ Yeah! I hope to once use his hot tub too! He showed me he has one!", Tighnari said smiling.
„ I have been there often when I was a kid! It's fun!", Al Haitham said.
„ It really looks fu-!", Tighnari began.

Suddenly, he felt like he was going to pass out. He felt like everything was spinning around him, and he felt like he was going to throw up any minute.

„ Al Haitham, I feel dizzy! I can't see you! I can't see anything clearly!", Tighnari said.

Al Haitham grinned. The potion was working.
„ Al Haitham has just left, babe!", Al Haitham said, trying to do his best Cyno voice.
„ Cyno, is that you? I don't feel well!", Tighnari said, who believed that Al Haitham was Cyno.

„ Should I kiss you? Would that make you feel better?", Al Haitham asked.

„ Yes please! Your kisses always make me feel better!", Tighnari said.

Al Haitham leaned in, and pressed his lips against Tighnari's.
