Deceive Me (Sweetly)

Summary:

"Note to self: if I ever write ANOTHER dream journal on twitter, remind me to private that account."

Silly socmed AU in which Colin's online dream journal accidentally exposes his relationship with the bestie he likes kissing on the mouth.
(It's too bad said bestie has millions of followers, and so does he.)

(Bonus Polin Week, Day 4: Favourite Quote - "In fact preferring sleep because that is where I might find you".)

Notes:

okay i had to make this RQ because I started this au at like 6pm. it's technically past midnight BUT idgaf anymore!!!! 😭 i got a low blood sugar ep so bad i almost passed out while trying to plan this thing
IF people like this i might make a prequel OR a sequel bc i kinda got super into it lmaoo but it was hard worl 3

Sorry if the timestamps are WEIRD i was furiously switching between devices like a MADMAN

EDIT: as of july 20th 1:14AM CEST i am reuploading the pics because they glitched and all disappeared ... so hot! (i hate it here)
EDIT: july 20th, 1:48AM- the pics should in theory be back up (in practice, i think ao3 is still updating all the links)

(See the end of the work for more notes.)
