    Summary

    “He will never know your feelings if you don’t tell him. I can help you, Charly.” The robot said, so tempting like a devil’s whisper, “Just tell me what you want.”
    “It doesn’t matter. There is nothing you can do to help me.” Carlos brought his hand up to the robot’s chest, “You are just a surrogate, and you should act like one.”
    “I can be him.” The robot said, the deep voice and the accent felt so right that Carlos could just pretend this was all real if he closed his eyes. The robot placed a cold finger against his lips, and Carlos was so tempted to take the finger into his mouth.
    “You are not Jannik.” Carlos took a deep breath to steady himself, “You can never be Jannik.”

    Carlos ordered a synthetic robot because he is too cowardly to face his crush. He gets more than he asked for.

    Summary

    The whole thing is Jannik’s idea.

    It’s Jannik’s idea, but Carlos agrees to it, and really, that’s on him.

    (Jannik suggests they wait until the next time they see each other to get off again. The situation escalates from there.)

    Summary

    It’s the best he has felt on a tennis court since he won Wimbledon two years ago. All his tricks work, both his forehand and backhand shots always landing inside the court. He feels his flair coming back, confidence rising every time the spectators cheer for him and chant his name. He feels like a ballet dancer, smooth and elegant on the court. Jannik has no answer to his level. Not even his stellar serve can deny Carlos his title back. When he hits the last winner, he falls to the ground. After an entire season of drought, he’s a Grand Slam champion again. He smiles so widely his cheeks start to hurt and he buries his face in his hands, feeling a bit choked up.

    Jannik engulfs him in a hug. “You were incredible. Artista. So beautiful.” Carlos hugs him tighter in response.
