Newsies: Fake Dating and Family

A/n: I was struck with a random idea and finished this sooner then expected. This is DaveyxCrutchie with background Newsbians.

"I'm completely screwed" Davey collapsed backward on the bed and narrowly avoided landing on Sarah's legs.

"Poor baby" Sarah patted his head condescendly.

"Oh shut up. It's all your fault anyway" Davey reminded her. Sarah avoided his eyes and smiled apologetically. For some reason when their parents called to ask if they were coming home for spring break Sarah had told them A. That David had a boyfriend and B. That said boyfriend was planning to come with on spring break.

"It was a joke" Sarah defended "You're the one that agreed"

"I panicked!" When his mom called and told him how happy she was that he got a boyfriend, he had been in shock and ended up agreeing. "She sounded so happy!" Davey could break her heart. He knew she had always been worried about how alone Davey seemed. He had his group of friends, but he had never been on a date and still hadn't had his first kiss. He was in college for goodness sake!

"Just ask someone to go with you" Sarah suggested.

"I would, but everyone is going to Florida except for you and Kath" Davey had already considered this option and he hadn't gotten very far (There was one other person not going, but asking your crush if they would be your fake boyfriend was way too fanfictiony and cliche)

"Uh-hu" Sarah raised her eyebrows "I think you might be forgetting someone"

"No."

Sarah rolled her eyes "Come on. It wouldn't be that bad"

"No." Davey crossed his arms and stubbornly stared at the ceiling.

"I'm sure Crutchie would be happy to help" Sarah said in a sing-song voice. "Mom would love him"

Davey didn't doubt that, everyone loved Crutchie. He was so nice and positive, he was also super talented (theater major) and really cute. Davey was madly in love with him, and had been since they met Freshman year of college. "Maybe he decided to go to Florida?"

Sarah snorted "Sure..."

Even Davey had to admit that was a ridiculous suggestion. Crutchie hated sand and water (It wasn't like he could swim in the ocean) and he hated hot weather. "I can't ask him"

"Are you going to tell mom or should I?" Sarah waved his phone with the multiple texts stating how excited his mom was to meet his boyfriend.

Davey snached the phone out of her hand "I'll go talk to Crutchie"

As he stomped out of Sarah's dorm room he could hear her laughing hysterically on her bed.

Davey stood anxiously outside Crutchie's door. He was either building up courage, or hoping that if he waited long enough to the problem would go away. He finally raised his hand and knocked lightly on the door.

"One second" Crutchie's voice echoed from the dorm. He swung open the door and grinned at the sight of Davey "Hey Dave, come in" He had a apron tied around his waist and flour in his hair "I was just making cookies"

"Cool" Davey sat down on couch. Crutchie threw the apron into the kitchen and sat down next to him.

"So what can I do for ya Dave?" Crutchie leaned back and cocked his head at a weird angle to look at Davey.

"I was hoping you could help me?" Davey requested. He wondered how to phrase his question and decided to just tell him all of it "My mom thinks I'm bringing my boyfriend home for spring break, I was hoping you could pretend to be said boyfriend?"
