"Two whole months of free laundry in exchange for two weeks of being my fake boyfriend. Deal?" Keith hesitated for a moment. Was this really worth it? Hardly. Lance was an asshole, and he wasn't sure what fake dating would entail. But, free laundry was free laundry, right? "All right. It's a deal." - hey !! me (chaoticnyxx) am NOT, under ANY MEANS, the OG author of this !! please don't give me credit when credit isn't due. happy reading !! OG author: Gibslythe on AO3

This a fanfic with orphan bench trio, angst, mental illness, and vigilante activities Idk how much I'll write here, I'm just starting this on a whim at 1 am on a Monday. Originally named "How I Wish It Would End." But when I made that name I didn't know where I was taking the story yet. By the way, the title is pronounced "mono-cop-sus." (: Edit: As of March 12th, 2022 I've added an editor to the Ao3 version of this fic, so there WILL be differences to dialogue, but no lore differences. I also changed the chapter titles, an example is Chapter 1 Pt. 1 and Chapter 1 Pt. 2 due to the chapters being combined on Ao3, but not here. ALSO ALSO, my writing is rlly shitty in the early chapters, I promise it gets better. Edit 2: As of November 18th, 2022 I'm gonna continue writing but if things don't make sense it's because it was retconned and will be changed/edited out of older chapters after I finish this fic. So, the fic is being edited and not set in stone. Edit 3: I'm making this on January 10th, 2025, so this is probably apparent, but I doubt I'll ever finish this fic. At most I'll release a chapter explaining the rest of the story so people can know what happened. Sorry! !DISCLAIMER BTW! THIS IS BASED ON THEIR DSMP CHARACTERS, I'M NOT SAYING ANYTHING THESE CHARACTERS HAVE ARE THINGS THE CONTENT CREATOR HAS EXPERIENCED! IT'S A FANFICTION! KEEP THAT IN MIND!

Note: this is my first story, so, it's not as good as my others, in fact, I hate it benchtrio adoption AU File 1 Ranboo: 14 years old information: was left at the park when he was 3, he was brought to the orphanage by Ms. Puffy, who had found him on a bench, been in and out of foster homes ever since characteristics: quiet, somewhat shy, and easy going Ranboo has irreversible vitiligo, half of his body lacks melanin, giving him an odd half and half look. He has tear stains that look as if he was burned by his tears File 2 Tubbo: 14 years old information: was found waiting on the bench outside the orphanage when he was 9, by Mr. Sam, won't talk about his past. characteristics: bubbly, a bit snarky, and energetic Tubbo has a burn scar on the side of his face File 3 Tommy: 13 years old information: was dropped on the door step when he was 9, he said his family didn't want him anymore characteristics: loud, sassy, and humorous Tommy was severely malnourished, and has scars running the length of his forearms Cover art is not mine Credit to the person who drew it (If you know who drew it please let me know) _________________________________________ thought I would add this, I will put TW at the top of each chapter, yes this starts off as angst Rated mature for the mass amounts of violence near the beginning and end 9/9 4th in Tubbo

Tommy always loved music, he was a drummer. Born a drummer, raised a drummer. And he was pretty good. He could drum along with practically any beat and would always impress people with his mad skills. Tubbo had been playing the piano since he was three, he was AMAZING. But he honestly truly wanted to sing. He was a great singer but his parents didn't care. All they wanted was for him to be good at piano for his college applications. Ranboo plays almost any guitar you can name. And he is so awesome. By far his favorite guitar that he owns is his half black, half white, electric guitar. He was self taught but could play practically any song just by listening to it once. What happens when three boys meet up one day and decide it's time to make some music, get famous and get bitches... OKAY SO THIS AU IS ALSO LARGELY BASED OF THAt onE BUS MONEY ANIMATION ON YT THE BANd aU ONE OMG MY KEYBOARD IS HLITCHJNG So baD!!! IT KEEPS NOT CAPS LOCKING!!!! ANYWAys enJOY
