Tom Holland ➳ Imagines & Headcanons

6. Be My Date

"I need you to pretend to be my date," Tom Holland, your roommate stated.

You were shocked. "What?!"

"Please," he begged, "I need a date for my brother's wedding, and my mother would kill me if I don't bring my girlfriend/boyfriend."

"Uh, when did you get a girlfriend/boyfriend?" you asked confused. Tom hadn't been in a relationship for months.

"I kinda lied to her," Tom said as you shot him a glare, "she was so angry at me for not being married or not even being in a relationship, that it simply slipped from me that I had a secret girlfriend/boyfriend."

"But why do you need me then?" you raised your eyebrow at him. You were worried about the answer - since you had a bad feeling about it.

"Yeah, um. I said that you were my date." Tom answered quickly.

"What the hell, Thomas!" your jaw dropped. You couldn't believe that div said you dated him.

"I'm sorry! It just...slipped," Tom excused. "Please! I beg! I'll do anything!"

You were not interested until he said he could do anything. "Do anything, huh?"

Tom nodded in answer. "I'll do anything."

"Okay, I'm in - but you have to buy me ice cream every day during summer and buy food for the rest of the year," you smirked. Tom nodded in agreement.

You didn't think too much about it. It was for only one day, right?

"You're ready, love?" Tom asked as he practised his charm. He was slightly nervous. However, he was an actor - so he should have been able to trick others.

"Sure, it's only for today." you smiled confidently. You felt quite good and excited. "We only need to trick them that we've been together four months."

"Shall we go through our story?" Tom asked. You and Tom had made an explanation on how you 'ended up together' if anyone asked.

"It's easy. We're roommates and fell in love. Since we've been roommates for so long, I know some of your habits and stuff." The story was very simple. The only problem was how you were supposed to act. Tom was an actor - so you knew he would do good, but you...acting was not your hobby.

"Good. Let's go then." Tom said as you nodded and linked your arm around his.

The first hours went by fine. Many people were a little surprised that Tom actually brought a date. You greeted childhood friends of Tom and family members.

"Really, Y/N, you chose to end up with Tom," Paddy sighed. You had known Paddy since you started sharing a place with Tom.

"Yeah, I'm still wondering why." you smiled. It wasn't a complete lie.

Through the night, you had held hands with Tom. He was very lovely and it actually seemed like you two were in love. Tom was a really good actor, you thought.

On the other side, Tom talked to his best mate Harrison. He kept looking at you. The way you smiled made his heart go wild.

"You really like her, don't you?" Harrison said.

Tom stopped gazing at you. "What?"

"The way you look at her. Are you sure you're faking this relationship? It doesn't seem so." Harrison continued.

Tom looked back at you as you laughed at a joke Paddy told. He loved the way you were around his family. It almost seemed like you were a part of the family of Hollands.

He didn't realise that his mother had gone to him. "Can I please talk to you, Tom?"

Tom nodded and followed his mother. "Is there something wrong?"

"No. Not at all. I must say that you did really well with Y/N. From the moment they became your roommate, I had an idea that you would end up together." Nikki smiled proudly at her son. "I see how you look at her/him, please don't let Y/N slip away. You need a person like that in your life."

"I know, mother," Tom assured. Nikki smiled. "Excuse me, I need to talk to Y/N before I do something stupid."

That was it. Paddy Holland told the best jokes. They were so bad they were funny, which made them good.

Then, someone tapped your shoulder. It was your fake-date. "May I talk, darling."

You couldn't help but smile. The night had made you feel dragged to Tom, like, he was the missing piece of you. You couldn't understand that you've gotten feelings for your roommate.

You nodded and followed Tom. "Let's talk later, Padster-man."

"Is there something wrong? I thought it went pretty good," you asked.

"No no no, there's nothing wrong. I just wanted to say you're doing good." Tom assured you, which calmed you down a bit.

Tom couldn't help it, but he had enjoyed acting your boyfriend. He wished the night wouldn't end.

The night had changed something between you. It had opened a door. You finally saw your feelings for Tom.

You stood close to Tom as you gazed into his beautiful eyes. Tom bit his lips. He really wanted to kiss you.

"Remember, I expect a lot of ice cream this summer." you laughed.

"Sure, darling. But first, you owe me a kiss." Tom couldn't help it. he really wanted to kiss you. Finally, he had realised his feeling for you.

"Just kiss me now," you ordered. Tom obeyed and brought his lips to yours.
