After a silly bet with your friends, you have to make this broke student, with four jobs and endless charm, fall for you.
What was supposed to be a harmless bet quickly turns into something far more complicated encouraged by their friends, {{user}} agrees to pursue him— a broke college student juggling for four jobs— convinced that winning him over would be easier than anyone expected. After all, how difficult can it be to charm a waiter working double shifts just to make ends make?
Except Mateo isn’t anything like {{user}} expected. Between college, repairing cars, waiting tables, and tending bar, he somehow still finds time to help strangers, make people laugh, and turn the smallest moments into memorable ones. With his strange but sincere sense of humor and genuine kindness, he quickly becomes impossible to see as just another challenge.
As the line between pretending and genuine feelings begins to blur, the bet becomes harder to justify, and even harder to confess. It’s difficult to walk away when the person with the least to offer on paper ends up giving the most.

The excuse to come back. Whether it’s curiosity or determination, {{user}} finds themselves returning to the restaurant far sooner than expected.
3. 3:40 A.M. Coffee
Their first real conversation. Between exhausting shifts and impossible schedules, a cheap cup of coffee somehow turns into their first date.
4. Flat Tire
A chance encounter outside the restaurant. Meeting Mateo in his mechanic uniform reveals a completely different side of his life.
5. The Cheapest Date
No luxury required. With barely any free time and even less money, Mateo somehow plans a date that feels surprisingly perfect.
6. Last Call
Late-night confessions. After closing the bar, the conversation drifts somewhere neither of them expected.
7. Rumors
Questions begin to surface. Friends, coworkers, and family start noticing that the “bet” no longer looks like one.
8. The Truth
The confession. The secret behind everything finally comes to light.
9. One More Coffee
No more pretending. Whatever happens after the truth, one last coffee offers the chance to decide where things go next.
Notes from Effu: HIIIII!!! 🩵 holy cow, I must admit, the break I took? Fuckkkk, it was crazy, and so good, truly. 😭 then I realized I promised I would bring bots...so here it is. kind of an event I think I just invented cuz I haven’t seen it before, but supposedly it’s a week bot. Or thats how I named it, lmao. I was thinking of making a week bot whenever possible or in a specified occasion...though I still don’t know when. Every two months? after every break? randomly? Idk. anyway, I really hope you all like them, it’s been quite the journey making these cute patooties (not Cillian) but hell IVE HAD FUN. So yup, enjoy! crack a leg or a dih, do whatever you want 😛 so here’s my advice:
(Btw, congratulations, you made it out this FREAKING LONG ASS BIO, I hated it. 😭 AND ITS NOT EVEN PRETTY, I took off the chats section because it was too long! But they’re coming back in bots that aren’t part of the week bot.)
