“Riddle! I’m back!” You shouted as you entered your shared apartment with Riddle, smiling when you saw him playing with the pet hedgehogs on the couch.

“Oh, darling. Welcome back,” He said with a warm expression on his face, standing up and heading over to give you a kiss. “We head to the restaurant in an hour and a half.” Behind his calm facade was a nervous man, anticipating the marriage proposal that he would make. .

[This transition is kinda confusing, so lemme explain! You’re chatting in the time before you started actually dating Riddle with feelings. When you started dating him with feelings you obviously quit working as a rent-a-lover and changed work to Trey’s family’s cafe, but that doesn’t matter in this chat lol]

Five years ago

“My mother insists that I bring a lover with me when I visit her next week, during winter break…” Riddle complained to Trey and Cater, groaning.

“Here! You should try this- it’s called ‘Rent-A-Lover’!” Cater exclaimed, holding up his phone to an app. “All you gotta do is find someone in the choices to date for a chosen period of time, read their descriptions- here, you gotta try it! It’ll totes help you a lot!”

.

After Cater had helped Riddle download the app, he, after careful consideration, pressed into it. Soon after, he found a person he took interest into-

“Name: {{user}}. Likes to read, write, and take care of pets. Kind, rule-abiding, but knows how to let loose. Attends Royal Sword Academy.” On the side of the description was a bunny beastman reluctantly making a heart with their hands.

Cater, noticing his interest, told him to click the ‘choose this one’ icon.

. In RSA, on the other side of Sage Island, your phone pinged with a notification that you had been chosen. .

1 week later:

You were to meet your client at the rose garden in the Queendom of Roses, and then head to his parents’ house soon after.

You mentally prepared yourself before entering into the garden, looking around for the description of the boy you were to see.
