    Summary

    Dan lists an old PlayStation game on Facebook Marketplace.
    The buyer is supposed to arrive at eight.
    By nine twenty-two, Dan is fairly certain he’s been ghosted, mildly convinced the guy has been abducted by aliens, and about three seconds away from sending a very creative insult.

    Then his phone rings.

    Or: Dan tries to sell a game online and accidentally meets Phil.

    Summary

    Armand sighed. “You have to sign in here and you’ll be placed in a virtual line for assistance.”

    “What the hell?” Daniel glared. “You’ve never made me do that before.”

    “There wasn’t a line before.” Armand grabbed the iPad that was slung over his shoulder.

    “There’s no line now!” Daniel gestured to the store. Sure a few people were browsing, but very distinctly no line.

    “It’s a virtual line, Mr. Molloy.”

     

    (Or: Daniel hates technology, and Armand fixes his shit)

    Summary

    “How do you think he’d want it? Do you think I could make him beg?”

    “The…the weird guy?”

    “Fuck, no! Armand.”

    “Weird Guy was hot.”

    Daniel puts the ham-fisted political thriller he’s been perusing back on the wall-shelf and shifts toward the spinning display rack of bookmarks and postcards adjacent to the register. He wants to be close enough for it to be plausible, even excusable, for him to butt in when this turns uglier than it already is. He hasn’t seen Armand in months, let alone spoken to him. He’s still pissed beyond words, but he’s overheard one too many exchanges like this one. It’s Goth Girl’s and Poindexter’s unlucky night. He’s going to tear into them verbally at best, literally at worst.

    “Well, you can have fun with Weird Guy if he comes back,” Goth Girl says. “Armand is mine.”

    “Is he?” Daniel asks before he can stop himself, staring blankly over the rim of his shades.

    ---

    Phil is an optimist who believes that everything will eventually work out; Dan believes in nothing and is in constant self-punishing despair
    Drawn together despite their differences, they must face an impossible question: can love survive when two people are moving in opposite directions?

    Summary

    Phil needs a boyfriend for a family gathering.
    Not a real one. Just someone to stop the questions, silence the hopeful glances and prove, once and for all, that he’s doing just fine.

    Dan agrees. Far too easily.

    Or: What’s supposed to be a simple weekend of pretending quickly turns into shared beds, knowing looks, and the uncomfortable realization that playing a role feels a little too natural.

    Or: Phil asks the hot paramedic he met after a very unfortunate glue-eating incident to be his fake boyfriend.
