“Heres the deal. If you agree to fake date me, i can get you back into playing hockey. I can help you with whatever drinking problem you have, if you get people to fund my figure skating.” I told him.

I had learned that he went through a lot, and i mean a ton, last year. His bestfriend dying, his parents divorcing, and falling into a pit of alcohol. He got benched, because of the alcohol, and maybe i could help the boy with the sad eyes.

Totally platonic, though. Only fake kisses

Right?
