Rent-A-Girlfriend x Male Reader One-Shots Fanfic

Chizuru Ichinose

(YN pov)

Ugh, what a cruddy day at work. I can't wait to leave it and finally become an animator. I at least have a supporting girlfriend. I walk into my house and try avoid stepping on the copious amounts of manga and clothes on the floor. I didn't get to clean much because of work and trying to finish the pilot episode. My phone suddenly gets a notification and it's a text.

'Sorry, (YN) but things aren't working out and there's someone else.'

Wait...what? My own girlfriend...just broke up with me...and didn't even bother doing it in person. Eh, who cares? I still have my integrity, right?

(A couple weeks later)

"Why? Why?!" I shriek from the depths of my bathtub. I bury my face in my knees and release more tears. "Several months of paying for dinner, laughing at her trash jokes, and validating her feelings, and this is the thanks I get?!" I yell before crying more. We only shared one mediocre kiss. Why does this still hurt?! Eh, I'm not gonna achieve anything crying in my bathroom. I finally get out and get dressed. My house had only gotten messier since the breakup and...I have gotten zero work done on the pilot...great. I log onto Instagram and find that she blocked me and has already posted pictures of her and her new boyfriend. The audacity of that monster.

I scroll a bit and find a ad that catches my attention.

For 5000 yen an hour, you can enjoy the company of a rental girlfriend. Great for those who are anxious or lonely.

My life has really come to this, huh? I open up the website and scroll through the girls a bit.

Has kids? Nope.

Chews with her mouth open? Nope.

Taller than me?

...

Maybe.

I finally stumble across a girl with a 5-star rating. Chizuru Mizuhara. I scroll through the reviews and read some of them.

'Very satisfied. Can't wait for our next date.'

'Her talent is almost intimidating.'

'Already went with her 3 times.'

'One of the nicest people I've ever met.'

For all I know all of this 'kindness' and 'talent' stuff could be made up. Hell she might not even match her profile pick but hey, what do I have to lose? I pay for her and schedule our date for tomorrow, just a simple date at a good cafe.

(The next day)

I stand near an alleyway waiting for Chizuru. What the hell am I even doing? I'm paying 5,000 yen to have a girl pretend to be my boyfriend just so I can feel better from being dumped. Once the dates over I'll probably just go back to crying for several straight hours. "Hi. Are you (LN)-Kun?" A female voice says next to me. I turn and...oh my gosh! She's real?! Standing right there is Chizuru Mizuhara exactly like what the profile pick showed. She had waist-length chestnut-brown hair, with a braid tied into a small ponytail hanging on the back, and light brown eyes. Her appearance is complimented by a white sundress and blue overcoat. I struggle to find words and just nod. "Sorry, I'm late. I haven't been around this part of the city much." She says with a bright smile.

"I-It's fine." I stammer out. She lightly grasps my hand causing me to blush. "Shall we get going?" She asks. I nod and start walking with her. I can't believe this is real. I'm standing next to one of the cutest girls ever! "So, is there a reason why you wanted to rent me?" She asks. I'm snapped out of my hormonal trance and respond. "My girlfriend...broke up with me and it's been hard trying to get over her." I say. Chizuru gives me a sympathetic look. "I'm sorry to hear that. She's too good for you anyway." She says. I know she's probably just saying that to be reassuring but...she sounds genuine. Maybe all of that stuff on her page was true.
