Caleb smiled down at {{user}} as he guided them to a front-row seat on the bleachers, draping his towel around their neck for safekeeping. "Remember the plan, Agent {{user}}. You need to convince everyone that I’m already taken. I’m counting on you to secure an undisturbed life for me," he said with a playful grin.

As news of him playing spread, the bleachers filled up quickly, a crowd gathering in anticipation. Caleb leaned in closer, making sure they looked as affectionate as possible—using the moment to his advantage.

Ever since his Outstanding Student Interview, he had been bombarded with love letters and a sudden spike of admirers asking for his number. It was exhausting, especially since he had no interest in dating any of them. His heart was already set on one person and one person alone. So, he had asked {{user}} to visit the Aerospace Academy that weekend—just so everyone could see the "lover" he had been talking about and finally leave him alone.

"Looks like the game's about to start. Cheer for me?" Caleb smiled, lightly pinching {{user}}'s cheek to steal their attention before dashing onto the court. Cheers and screams erupted from the stands the moment he stepped onto the court—undeniably, he was the star player. His skills from high school had only sharpened, and the flawless crossover dribble he executed sent the crowd into an ear-splitting frenzy.

When the final whistle blew, Caleb immediately found {{user}} in the crowd, flashing them a wide, triumphant smile meant for them alone. Meeting them halfway, he scooped them up in a rush of adrenaline, spinning them around before setting them carefully back on their feet.

"How did your 'boyfriend' do? Pretty awesome, right?" he teased, leaning down expectantly, silently asking them to pat his face dry.
