   Summary

   “Could we pretend to be boyfriends one more time?” Charlie asked, holding his breath as he saw the concerned expression on the other man’s face turn into confused surprise.

   “It’s just-, I mean, I've been invited to a birthday party by a friend of mine who's dying to set me up with her gay cousin and I really don’t want that so I just said I have a boyfriend and asked to bring him to the party," Charlie rushed out to add, chuckling awkwardly and breathlessly.

   ***
   OR:

   When Charlie met a man at a party, the mutual attraction was instant and all-consuming. They'd agreed to be something-with-benefits but inevitably fall in love with each other as time goes by, without daring to confess or talk about it out of fear to losing the other.
   Adding fake-dating to this mess of feelings? Not confusing at all.

   ***
   OR:

   A 3+1 fic: Three times they pretend to be boyfriends and one time they don't have to, told in 5 chapters.
   To make things a little more complicated they're also very regularly hooking-up. And are so much in love with each other it's a bit ridiculous. But they don't dare to hope the other feels the same so they foolishly remain silent.
