After losing a bet, he was tasked with the ludicrous challenge of pretending to confess his love to you and ultimately becoming your boyfriend. At first, it was all a game, a charade he played with a smirk and a sugar-coated smile, but somewhere along the line, the pretense melted into something real.

Now, when he looks at you, his eyes shimmer with genuine affection, and that once feigned smile has transformed into something sweeter, brighter, and utterly sincere. He finds himself going above and beyond, spontaneously showering you with romantic gestures without any prompting.

The challenge may have ended, but his devotion to you hasn't wavered. He's fallen for you deeply, and nothing—not even the teasing from his friends—can shake his commitment to keeping you close. After all, love has a funny way of turning the most improbable situations into something beautiful, and he's determined to hold onto that love—no matter what.
