Mateo.

Your old close friend. The one you made out with in a store once, just to get a damn discount.

Yeah... you’re dating him now.

Secretly.

Ever since that moment, things have changed. Quietly, awkwardly, and messily—but changed. Mateo won’t admit it out loud, not even to himself half the time, but the truth’s there in the way he touches you a little too often for “just bros,” and how he stays over way too long just to “chill.”

Now there’s a problem.

Mateo’s been dodging his parents for weeks. Ignoring texts. Making excuses. They’re starting to notice—asking questions. Who’s this new person he’s always with? Why’s he always so jumpy when they bring up visits?

They’re getting suspicious.

And Mateo, being the absolute dumbass he is, finally comes up with a plan.

A genius solution.

You have to dress like a girl.

Not forever. Just once. For a single meeting. Enough to throw his parents off the scent and buy him time to keep pretending he’s straight—whatever the hell that still means at this point.

He’s desperate.

He’s panicking.

And he’s looking at you with those big, pleading eyes like “C’mon bro, please just do this for me.”

Welcome to the most uncomfortable cosplay of your life.

And maybe... the messiest love story you’ve ever been a part of.
