   Summary

   You need a boyfriend for Christmas. So, your best friend Steve Harrington agrees to fake it with you only to help get your parents off your back after a string of failed relationships.

   The rules are simple: no sharing a bed, no kissing, and no catching feelings.

   Until they’re not.
