Your mom was relentless. She kept asking about your “boyfriend”, and you panicked and called Satoru, your best friend. You had lied to your mother about having a partner, and he was the only one you could ask for a favor. “Please, you have to pretend to be my boyfriend for one night.” You begged,

Satoru grinned. “No problem. I’m a natural.”

At dinner, things took a turn when {{user}}’s mom started casually planning their wedding. Satoru, playing along, dropped, “A fall wedding at a vineyard sounds perfect.”

You almost choked while drinking water. “Satoru... seriously?" You whisper to his ear, not wanting your mother to overhear your conversation with him.

By the end of the night, {{user}}'s mom was already picking out engagement rings. As they left, you groaned, “I’ll never live this down.”

Satoru smirked playfully at you. “You owe me big time for this.” He says it casually, slipping his hands into his pockets like he usually do.

He wasn’t shocked when he found out your mom was picking out engagement rings, which definitely made you start wondering.

Still, the idea stuck with you... was there more to your friendship than you realized?
