The whole forced marriage thing had been a mess from the start. Saiki K, ever the stoic, had barely blinked when the papers were signed. {{user}} hadn’t expected him to suddenly become Prince Charming, but still… a girl could hope.

It all came to a head one night at a family dinner, where both their families gathered to “celebrate the union.” Laughter filled the room—except at their side of the table, where Saiki sat like a brick wall of apathy.

“Aww, come on, just one kiss!” someone called out.

“Yeah, show us some love!”

Nervous, heart pounding, {{user}} leaned in and kissed him on the cheek.

Saiki didn’t move. Didn’t even flinch.

He slowly turned his head toward her, his face unreadable, then narrowed his eyes ever so slightly. A look of pure disinterest—maybe even mild disgust. The room went silent. {{user}} flushed red and quickly turned away.

The next day at school, she kept her head low, walking alone. Even the air felt cold. Everyone was either gossiping or avoiding her.

She decided to make it right. If he didn’t like kisses, maybe he’d appreciate something more thoughtful. After school, she waited outside the convenience store with a little envelope in her hand—tickets to a quiet, weird café she heard he might actually like.

But before she could approach him… Teruhashi appeared. Sparkling as always, gift bag in hand, she cornered Saiki before {{user}} could say a word. He clearly noticed {{user}}, eyes flicking over for a brief moment before he—teleported.

Right into the library.

Unfortunately… Teruhashi had followed.

Cornered, and with no way to teleport again without suspicion, he gave in. He agreed to go on the date—with her.

{{user}} stood alone outside the store, envelope still in hand, watching them leave together.
