    Summary

    Scar leaned back, cane tapping lightly against the floor. “We… we lost?” His voice was quiet, a mixture of surprise and confusion.

    Grian pinched the bridge of his nose, heart hammering. “Yeah. We did. Congratulations.”

    Scar frowned, studying him. “Grian… are you… mad at me?”

    “I’m not mad,” Grian said through gritted teeth, though his chest burned with heat and grief and anger all at once.

     

    Grian and his friends take their monthly trivia very seriously, but they hadn't come above 7th in the last 6 months. Unrelated to that losing streak, Grian cut off his situationship with Scar 6 months ago and cannot stand to be around the man. He was too carefree. Too much of a know it all. Too happy after... everything.

    or

    Grian and Scar's friendship and ability to work together take a toll after Grian ends their friends with benefits situation and it kills Grian that Scar seems to be so okay after it ending so he harbours a 'hatred' for his friend at the detriment of their trivia team's ranking.

    Summary

    Scar is a new transfer at their university and agrees to anything that Grian offers. Chess club? “Chess, huh? I love… knights. And, uh—queens. Very… regal pieces. I’d love to join.” Walking home? “Nah. Not letting you go alone.” Star Wars marathon on a Thursday afternoon? “Star Wars. Huge Star Wars fan. I mean—like, can quote entire scenes from the original trilogy fan.”

    Or

    Scar transfers to Grian’s university and they become fast… ‘friends’ and a Star Wars marathon on a whim leads to coming more than that.

    Summary

    “… What was that?” Gem stared at him like she had seen a ghost. Her jaw might as well have been touching the cobblestone and her eyes looked about to bulge out of her skull. She had turned about 5 shades whiter.
    “Oh, it's Scar’s newest bit,” Grian answered casually. It was definitely nothing that warranted that sort of reaction, didn't even make top 5 of craziest things Scar had done. Maybe not even top 10. He flattened the shopping district overnight just a few weeks ago.
    “His newest bit…” Gem shook her head, recomposing herself. “Can you please explain what exactly is the bit?” Before Grian could reply, she added: “From the very beginning, with as many details as possible. What is wrong with you two?”

    Summary

    Grian shifted again—another small movement, a thoughtless roll of his hips as he resettled. The bed creaked faintly beneath them, the sound sharp in the hush. Grian froze for half a second, then relaxed, deciding it was probably fine. If anything, it helped the illusion.

    Scar, on the other hand, went very still.

    His jaw tightened, eyes closing briefly as he took a slow breath, hands remaining firmly—but respectfully—at Grian’s sides. When he spoke again, his voice was even, almost too controlled. “Hey,” he said gently, breathlessly, “maybe— maybe don’t move like that.”

    Grian blinked. “Oh—sorry.” He flushed, immediately trying to still himself, hands pressing into Scar’s shoulders for balance. “Did I—?”

    Before Scar could answer—

    BANG BANG BANG.

    ~

    When a plan hatches for Grian to pretend to be Scar’s partner at his mother’s ‘Christmas Extravaganza’, Grian realises that fake love feels an awful lot like the real thing—especially when everyone else believes it already is.
