(Ouma X Saihara) Are We REALLY Pretending?

(Here have this late Valentine's Day special I coughed up, quite literally, for you)

(Not proof read.)

Saihara sat in his dorm room panicking, curled up in a ball, his phone on his bed next to him. His parents had just called him and asked him to visit them and bring along his mystery boyfriend.

Of course, Saihara wasn't insecure about boyfriend

Because Saihara made him up.

However now after three years of excuses such as 'he's sick' or 'he's busy' his parents were by now outright demanding to meet the love of his life to decide if they even approve of him. But this left Saihara in a tough spot because as mentioned, his boyfriend didn't exist and only really existed so that his parents' would stop saying stuff about how he needs to find himself, someone to love on Valentine's and not eat chocolates and make fun of the horrible rom-com movies on Netflix, a life which he was content with and didn't plan on changing in the near future. Now an idea that popped into Shuichi's head was to bring a friend as his 'pretend date' but once again.

It's Valentine's Day.

This meant most of his friends were out having their own lovely time. Currently, every boy in his class wasn't available. Rantaro Amami? He's at the comic convention with Tsumugi. Kiibo? He's out as the third wheel with Kaede and Miu. Gonta Gokuhara? He's studying for his Biology test. Kaito Momota? His mom knows he's with Maki and he's busy anyway. Ryoma Hoshi? He's too negative for his mother's taste. Korekiyo Shinguji?

...Creep

He continued to sit in this position, screaming internally when he heard his door get opened and someone stepping in.

"HEY SAIHARA-CHAN!" Kokichi said coming inside and welcoming himself as if it was his own. It wasn't the first time he did this, at this point, it was a habit. "Hey, Oum-" he muttered in response only to cut himself off. Ouma wasn't on the list of people he considered...but he sure was a great liar. So it looking convincing wouldn't be an issue. This could actually-

"Earth to Saihara-chan! You're not Kaito to be spacing out!" Ouma said waving a hand in front of his face. Shuichi grabbed Kokichi by the shoulders. "Kokichi, look this is gonna be hard to explain but uh my parents think I have a boyfriend which I obviously don't and now they want me to bring them for dinner at their place and I have no one bring so..." he explained quickly. Ouma blinked, slightly overwhelmed by the sudden flood of information. "You want me to be your pretend date...?" he asked. Shuichi nodded. "Yeah...if you don't mind" he said anxiously. He'd never thought a moment would come where he'd have to ask his friend to become their date. Ouma stayed silent for a moment before grinning.

"Okay then! I was bored not having a date on Valentine's day anyway so it works out for us both!" Kokichi said with a giggle. "It's a pretend date" Saihara pointed out. "Man you're such a downer to be around!" Ouma frowned "Besides a pretend date is just a date without the benefits of kissing and getting laid. You get the rest of benefits such as well spent time and free food!" he said cheerfully. Saihara facepalmed himself.

"OK yeah whatever, but we have to practice some difficult questions first to answer at dinner" Shuichi said in a serious tone. His parents can be quite picky about people he chose to associate himself, once his mom gave Kaito such a horrifying expression after he took Shuichi to a party with alcohol which could easily compare with Kokichi's.

"Aww! And I thought I could impress you with my impeccable improv skills at the dinner table!" Kokichi whined childishly, irritating Shuichi. "Ughh please be serious! I don't want my parents to have too much of a good time else they'll want to see you more." Shuichi said grabbing at his hair. "You mean you're a-ashamed of m-me?!" Ouma cried his fake tears. "No, I just-!" Saihara was cut off by Kokichi. "Well, whatever. You don't have much of a choice either way and I'm not gonna reject your offer. I'm just going to get ready for our date!" He said walking out of the room. "Pretend. date." he heard Saihara correct him as he walked out.
