looks like the perfect opportunity for the fake dating trope
Who wants to write the modern AU for this one? Who else can I rope in here? @wreathedwith
Erik, in desperate need of some cash, convinces his lab partner, Charles, to be his fake boyfriend. They’ll make up some lovey-dovey backstory, answer whatever questions the psych department has, and walk away with enough cash for Erik to make up those back payments he owes for this semester. The plan is foolproof, nothing can go wrong.
As long as neither of them fall in love! *dun dun dun*
