Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Oh my god, is that Alex? Damn, no wonder he's taught the most abandable list three years from
00:00:15him. Yeah, rich daddy on the school board, innit? Today's the student president election. No chance
00:00:21anyone beats him. Who am I up against again? Any dirt? Xavier Miller. Scholarship kid. Geeky.
00:00:29A bit though. Number two on the bangable list. Bit of a loner. Never heard of him. I told
00:00:36you, don't come home without the cash. We need the money. Hey! This is St. Mountain College,
00:00:46not a fucking pub. Fine. But you won't outrun us.
00:00:54You okay, bro?
00:01:01I'm fine. Not even a thanks? At least give me your name!
00:01:169, 4, 8. Yeah? And Xavier. Alrighty Xavier. See you at the debate.
00:01:31Let's begin!
00:01:33The football kit budget was inflated 230%, money that could have paid for transport for
00:01:39students working late.
00:01:40Are you accusing my dad of corruption? I'm just stating facts. Let's take a five minute
00:01:57recess. Here's another fact. That extra money went towards donating equipment to underprivileged
00:02:04kids. It just made me look like a total jerk for no reason.
00:02:10You're Sidney!
00:02:18You're serious!
00:02:25Then I kept running.
00:02:29Oh, no, baby! No, baby!
00:02:37OMG, I'm literally screaming right now. This is unreal.
00:02:48What the actual fuck?
00:02:54Well, that was unexpected.
00:02:56Did Alex just kiss the dude? I thought he hates gays.
00:03:01First corruption, now this. Yikes, Alex Watson canceled for real.
00:03:20Get me everything on him, and I mean everything.
00:03:26I just sold the damn house.
00:03:39What?
00:03:39You had no right. It was all Mom left us.
00:03:43Where would we live then?
00:03:44You know what your old man beatin' to death by loan sharks?
00:03:48I need the money.
00:03:49How about quitting the booze and gambling instead of wrecking our lives?
00:03:58Eight o'clock tonight. School cafe. Got a proposal that could fix your money issues.
00:04:16Whatever this is, make it quick.
00:04:27I want you to be my boyfriend.
00:04:30What? Were you expecting flowers and chocolates?
00:04:48A contract?
00:04:49You're seriously trying to hire me as your fake boyfriend?
00:04:53Real romantic, Watson.
00:04:54Let's call it a mutually beneficial arrangement.
00:04:58You clearly need the money. I need to fix my reputation.
00:05:05Dating the School of Scholarship Golden Boy is exactly the type of image boost I need right now.
00:05:11You investigated me.
00:05:14Call it damage control. You made me look shady in front of the entire school.
00:05:19Now you need to fix it.
00:05:20If it weren't for the homophobia rumors taking your poll numbers, would you still want to date a guy?
00:05:28Hell no.
00:05:30This is just business.
00:05:36Duration.
00:05:37Until the election's over.
00:05:44Just keep it professional, Watson. Don't get any ideas.
00:05:50Trust me. Feelings aren't on the menu.
00:05:59Like the game's beginning.
00:06:02Boyfriend.
00:06:08Boyfriend.
00:06:15You can drop the act now. No one's watching.
00:06:17Tell that to your heart rate. It jumps like crazy back there, huh?
00:06:21Whatever, I'm leaving.
00:06:23Who said we were finished?
00:06:25We have a frat party to hit.
00:06:27Time to show off St. Mountain's new favorite couple.
00:06:37This is part of your PR stunt too, obviously.
00:06:40One accidental kiss isn't going to sell this romance.
00:06:45It's make it believable.
00:06:46Oh my God.
00:06:46Hey, everybody, look.
00:06:48It's our star quarterback with his cute and nerdy boyfriend.
00:06:50Oh, come on.
00:06:51You are lame, Watson.
00:06:54You know what that means, filthy, right?
00:06:58All right, boys.
00:06:59The rules are simple.
00:07:05Ice cubes go mouth to mouth.
00:07:08No hands.
00:07:09No drop.
00:07:14Come on, come on, come on.
00:07:15Come on, come on, come on.
00:07:16Do it, do it, do it, do it.
00:07:22Come on.
00:07:23Do we really have to do this?
00:07:29Let's do it.
00:07:32Oh my gosh.
00:07:34Shit.
00:07:42Technically, this isn't sanitary.
00:07:53You what?
00:08:05That wasn't happening.
00:08:07That was street outfitting him.
00:08:08Look at Xavier is turning into a tomato, bro.
00:08:13What the hell is wrong with you?
00:08:15We need people to buy this, right?
00:08:23What's this?
00:08:27Extra credit homework?
00:08:29Our campaign team thinks we're a lot of couple chemistry.
00:08:31Voters aren't convinced.
00:08:38Pro-tip genius.
00:08:39Kissing with your eyes open.
00:08:41It's a major giveaway.
00:08:46Statistically, voters want sparks, not stats.
00:08:50Marks are a separate livestream.
00:08:52Time to show the world how in love we are.
00:08:56Do you need anything to ask me first?
00:08:58The contract clearly says you have to do as I say.
00:09:05Make sure you get this.
00:09:06My robot boyfriend is looking again.
00:09:12What do you say we're talking about?
00:09:19You need a shower.
00:09:20You need a shower.
00:09:22Fine.
00:09:22But you are coming with me.
00:09:24And Marks live streaming the whole thing.
00:09:26Trying to show off those acting chops.
00:09:28Can I grab me a towel?
00:09:34I never thought of grabbing one before the strip show.
00:09:40I mean, I could just walk out naked.
00:09:53I mean, I could just walk out naked.
00:10:03What?
00:10:14I'm so shy all of a sudden.
00:10:17Would have better lift?
00:10:25Touch.
00:10:33I won't stop you.
00:10:46Guys, someone forgot to end the stream, LOL!
00:10:48You won't even pretend to hide it anymore.
00:10:50Mark my words.
00:10:51I'll expose the truth about these two.
00:10:58By popular demand, you asked, we answered.
00:11:02First question.
00:11:04What was your first impression of each other?
00:11:07He's loud.
00:11:09Seriously?
00:11:10My first impression of you was,
00:11:12who's this mysterious nerd calling me out in front of everyone?
00:11:16Harsh, but I gotta admit, kinda cute.
00:11:21Still loud.
00:11:23Next question.
00:11:24What is your favorite thing about each other?
00:11:29I don't know.
00:11:30Your sense of responsibility may be.
00:11:36My turn.
00:11:37His fingers.
00:11:39Long.
00:11:40Elegant.
00:11:41Very skilled.
00:11:45Next question.
00:11:46Oh.
00:11:47Who is your most unforgettable kiss?
00:12:03Guys!
00:12:05We've got a huge problem.
00:12:06Someone leaked the contract.
00:12:07Everybody knows you're faking it.
00:12:08We've got a huge problem.
00:12:09Someone leaked the contract.
00:12:10Everybody knows you're faking it.
00:12:16Oh my God.
00:12:17Did you see this?
00:12:18They signed your freaking coin truck?
00:12:20I've had different goals.
00:12:21What a scam.
00:12:22I can't believe it.
00:12:23I can't believe it.
00:12:24The final debate is in three days.
00:12:25If we don't turn things around fast, you're finished.
00:12:26I know, dammit.
00:12:27I already have people tracing the hack.
00:12:28Whoever leaked that file is dead.
00:12:29What are our options?
00:12:30I mean, everybody's already seen the contract.
00:12:31There's no denying it.
00:12:32Unless...
00:12:33Unless what?
00:12:34Unless we make it real.
00:12:36Unless we make it real.
00:12:37No.
00:12:38No.
00:12:39No.
00:12:40No.
00:12:41No.
00:12:42No.
00:12:43No.
00:12:44No.
00:12:45No.
00:12:46No.
00:12:47No.
00:12:48No.
00:12:49No.
00:12:50No.
00:12:51No.
00:12:52No.
00:12:53No.
00:12:54No.
00:12:55No.
00:12:56No.
00:12:57No.
00:12:58No.
00:12:59No.
00:13:00No.
00:13:01No.
00:13:02No.
00:13:03No.
00:13:05No.
00:13:06No.
00:13:07No.
00:13:08No.
00:13:08No.
00:13:09No.
00:13:10No.
00:13:11I don't care if the contract was fake.
00:13:12All I know is that at some point, it stopped being pretend for me.
00:13:13I couldn't stand you at first, typical quarterback arrogance full of yourself but then I saw
00:13:19you after practice.
00:13:20How you push yourself harder than anybody else.
00:13:22How you take the fall for your teammates, you lose control of your team and
00:13:26Look at me in class.
00:13:29Do you honestly think I could have faked it this whole time?
00:13:33Xavier.
00:13:41Pack a book into your laptop.
00:13:43Whole fool's watching this beat right now.
00:13:45Oh my god.
00:13:46Xavier, you're so cute.
00:13:48I'm shipping these too hard.
00:13:50Holy shit.
00:14:00Holy shit.
00:14:07I can fake confidence during debates.
00:14:10Smile through press conferences.
00:14:13Even pretend to care about school traditions I've never liked.
00:14:16But this?
00:14:17I can never fake this.
00:14:22Maybe it started off as just a deal.
00:14:24But now, every word I said has been true.
00:14:29Wait, Alex's face?
00:14:30For an update.
00:14:30Alex, they are there.
00:14:32We love that.
00:14:32For an update.
00:14:33Alex approval plus 12%.
00:14:35Cut.
00:14:36That was perfect.
00:14:42At least the votes won't take an hour.
00:14:43I've done my bit.
00:14:47Just doing what we agreed.
00:14:52But seeing you hurt was never part of the deal.
00:14:58I owe you, Xavier.
00:15:00Whatever happens with this election.
00:15:03It's nothing.
00:15:03Just sticking to the script, right?
00:15:05You sure that's all this is?
00:15:09No hidden feelings creeping in?
00:15:12My God, he never stopped, do you?
00:15:16It's a dead end on the hacker.
00:15:18Whoever it was bounced through multiple VPNs.
00:15:21Great.
00:15:22I'm dealing with a pro.
00:15:23Yeah, and everyone's eyes is on you two now.
00:15:26So every look, every moment, it has to feel authentic.
00:15:32We've got this.
00:15:36Damn it.
00:15:37I left my football gear home.
00:15:38School paper shoots tomorrow.
00:15:40Come with?
00:15:40All right.
00:15:41Okay.
00:15:42Sure.
00:15:43Like, I've got nothing better to do.
00:15:48Okay.
00:15:50Something's definitely going on between those two.
00:15:57Whoa.
00:15:58This is your average family home?
00:16:06It's my dad's place, not mine.
00:16:08Meaning?
00:16:10I have an older half-brother.
00:16:12My dad's big on competition.
00:16:16If I want any part of the family fortune,
00:16:19I have to beat him.
00:16:21Wearing the election is just step one.
00:16:24Keep your family drama to yourself.
00:16:25I'm not your therapist.
00:16:28Seriously?
00:16:32Weren't you the one who insisted we make this believable?
00:16:36Fine.
00:16:37I'll keep your sad, rich boy drama in mind.
00:16:43Wait here.
00:16:44I'm going to go grab my jersey.
00:16:45Wow.
00:16:46Read a book or something.
00:16:58Well, didn't expect to see you here.
00:17:03Sorry, do I know you?
00:17:09Well, didn't expect to see you here.
00:17:12Sorry, do I know you?
00:17:13You must be Xavier, the famous boyfriend.
00:17:17And you are?
00:17:21Noah.
00:17:23Alex's older brother.
00:17:25Oh?
00:17:26Cold shoulder.
00:17:28Ouch.
00:17:30So?
00:17:31Has Alex's fiancƩe met you yet?
00:17:36FiancƩe?
00:17:36Oh, you conveniently left that detail out.
00:17:43This whole fake boyfriend thing, he's done it before, you know.
00:17:46With quite a trail of broken hearts.
00:17:49What are you implying?
00:17:50Alex, he doesn't date guys.
00:17:55He'll only end up getting hurt.
00:17:58You deserve someone better.
00:18:01Someone like me, seriously insane.
00:18:06Just gay.
00:18:08An observant.
00:18:11Let's not pretend you're straight out of this, sweetheart.
00:18:15Back off.
00:18:20Back off.
00:18:22I'm not.
00:18:24Then why are you shaking?
00:18:28You're seriously messed up.
00:18:31Takes one to know one, honey.
00:18:33You can't lie to yourself forever.
00:18:36Yeah.
00:18:38Alex can offer you fame.
00:18:40Fortune.
00:18:41All the shiny things.
00:18:45But I can offer you something he never could.
00:18:48Something real.
00:18:54Get off me!
00:18:57What the fuck are you doing?
00:18:58Nice dining, little brother.
00:19:02You stupid hell away from him.
00:19:04You hear me?
00:19:07Relax.
00:19:12Relax.
00:19:13Just a little bit of healthy competition, that's all.
00:19:17We'll be seeing each other again real soon.
00:19:20I can feel it.
00:19:21Asshole.
00:19:22No.
00:19:22Get it out!
00:19:36Don't believe a word he says.
00:19:38Noah thrives on chaos.
00:19:42Including the part about your fiancƩ?
00:19:43It's an arranged thing.
00:19:52My dad's idea.
00:19:54Honestly, I barely even know her.
00:19:56You don't owe me any explanations, Alex.
00:20:00I'm just part of your PR stunt, right?
00:20:04Is that really all this is to him?
00:20:07Right.
00:20:08You're absolutely right.
00:20:10I'm heading back.
00:20:14Wait.
00:20:15It's late.
00:20:16Just stay here.
00:20:18The guest room is empty.
00:20:20I don't typically stay over.
00:20:22Fine.
00:20:23I'll drive.
00:20:33Hello?
00:20:33Congrats, kid.
00:20:35You're officially homeless.
00:20:37Don't bother coming back.
00:20:39You're on your own now.
00:20:43Actually, maybe I'll take you up on that offer.
00:20:48Best decision you'll ever make.
00:20:51Straight to your room.
00:20:52Or, if you prefer.
00:20:54You know, I always dreamed of going pro.
00:21:06NFL.
00:21:08Not surprised.
00:21:11You're football crazy.
00:21:13I was a quarterback.
00:21:15One state.
00:21:17But my dad,
00:21:19he had other ideas.
00:21:21He said,
00:21:23a Watson doesn't waste his future
00:21:25throwing a ball around.
00:21:27So,
00:21:29I became the perfect son.
00:21:34Straight A's.
00:21:36Student body president.
00:21:39Just
00:21:39hoping
00:21:42he'd let me play football again.
00:21:44Your turn.
00:21:53Secret for secret.
00:21:57I've seen enough.
00:22:01My dad
00:22:02is a gambler.
00:22:04My family's a mess.
00:22:07There's nothing more to tell.
00:22:11I don't buy it.
00:22:12You've got a bigger secret than that one.
00:22:17One you're afraid to say out loud.
00:22:22Tell me.
00:22:24It could be our little secret.
00:22:38I want to be the only one you tell.
00:22:40Let's not pretend you're straight out of this,
00:22:43sweetheart.
00:22:45You're wasted.
00:22:48So,
00:22:49sleep it off.
00:22:51I'm taking a shower.
00:22:52I'm taking a shower.
00:23:15I don't know.
00:23:16I didn't pack you a far traveler.
00:23:20Alex he doesn't date guys he'll only end up getting hurt
00:23:50The real secret is I fell for someone I wasn't supposed to

00:27:45You John's kids, right? Your dad owes me a lot of money.
00:27:49He sold the house. The debt should be cleared.
00:27:51But he didn't pay me a single cent?
00:27:54Oh shit. O'Dib is that old bastard.
00:27:57You, Skid, either you settle his debt or I'll start taking pieces.
00:28:01That's between you and him.
00:28:04Leave me out of it now.
00:28:07Ow!
00:28:08Ow!
00:28:09You're definitely involved now.
00:28:14Ow!
00:28:16Ow!
00:28:16You definitely need to involve now.
00:28:20Back off, asshole.
00:28:21Who the fuck?
00:28:22You touch him again and you're dead.
00:28:29Two grams, two days of the old man, he shot a kidney.
00:28:36You okay?
00:28:38Are you okay?
00:28:42Am I okay?
00:28:43Look at your face.
00:28:46You idiot.
00:28:46Why did you do that?
00:28:48I've gone a bit overboard.
00:28:55You need to go to the hospital now.
00:28:57Come on.
00:28:57It looks like an old fracture has reopened.
00:29:02You need to rest.
00:29:04And no more football for the rest of the season.
00:29:10Or maybe forever.
00:29:12Or maybe forever.
00:29:17I just wrecked your whole future.
00:29:20Your entire dream.
00:29:21You matter way more than for me.
00:29:22Hey, you matter way more than for me.
00:29:26You're seriously insane.
00:29:30Well, since this is technically your fault, you definitely owe me, right?
00:29:35And what exactly do you want?
00:29:39Move in with me.
00:29:41You can be my personal nurse.
00:29:48Fine.
00:29:49I guess it's the least I could do.
00:29:52I guess it's the least I could do.
00:29:58Feed me.
00:30:00No, absolutely not.
00:30:01Okay, fine.
00:30:09One bite, that's it.
00:30:13Here begins your life as my caretaker.
00:30:15You bite now?
00:30:28Are you certain?
00:30:29Then I have to finish it one time.
00:30:37And remember, no strenuous activity, especially involving your shoulder.
00:30:42What if Xavier's on tap?
00:30:46Kids these days.
00:30:51You are impossible.
00:30:55Hey, this is a love story, babe.
00:30:59Understanding character.
00:31:00Fine.
00:31:01If that's what it takes.
00:31:03Bye.
00:31:04Bye.
00:31:05Bye.
00:31:06Bye.
00:31:07Bye.
00:31:08Bye.
00:31:09Bye.
00:31:10Bye.
00:31:11Bye.
00:31:12Bye.
00:31:12Welcome home, babe.
00:31:16One arm, wet floor, potential drowning hazard.
00:31:21Will help.
00:31:23Nice try.
00:31:24You'll manage.
00:31:33Hey, Xavier!
00:31:34Help!
00:31:42You're unbelievable.
00:31:44You're unbelievable.
00:31:45Unbelievably charming, maybe.
00:31:56Stop it.
00:31:57Put your clothes back on.
00:32:01You're blushing.
00:32:02No, I'm not.
00:32:04No, I'm not.
00:32:06Hold this.
00:32:07If it drops, I'll take it as a sign you want me.
00:32:11You really are insane.
00:32:14You really are insane.
00:32:23You can start here.
00:32:24Careful.
00:32:26My scalp's more fragile than my reputation.
00:32:30Shut up.
00:32:31Shut up.
00:32:34Shut up.
00:32:35Okay.
00:32:36You're dead.
00:32:38Okay.
00:32:38Come on.
00:32:39I'm not.
00:32:40I'm not.
00:32:41I'm not.
00:32:42I'm not.
00:32:43I'm not.
00:32:45I'm not.
00:32:45You think this is funny?
00:33:00I know.
00:33:01I'm joking.
00:33:02Am I a punchline to you?
00:33:04A campaign prompt?
00:33:06You know, I stuck around because I felt bad for you, and this is how you treat me.
00:33:13Did I overreact?
00:33:21I'm sorry, okay, but what if I actually fell in love with you?
00:33:32What if I actually fell in love with you?
00:33:39I thought I hated you.
00:33:43Turns out, I just hated how much I wanted you.
00:33:47Unless we make it real.
00:33:49At first, I just wanted the rumors to stop.
00:33:57Signing that stupid contract felt like my only choice.
00:34:07Then, when everything fell apart, when I started losing the election, you stepped in.
00:34:15I could look into your laptop.
00:34:17You didn't have to, but you saved me.
00:34:22What the fuck are you doing?
00:34:24And when I saw him that close to you, it hurt more than losing my damn election ever could.
00:34:34So, would you consider making this real with me?
00:34:43Forget what I said.
00:34:55Forget what I said.
00:35:03I'm not sure.
00:35:12I'm not sure.
00:35:15I'm not sure.
00:35:19I'm not sure.
00:35:24You're driving me crazy.
00:35:38Stop pretending to be crazy.
00:35:54Good morning, sleeping beauty.
00:36:24I caught you stealing kisses, you know it's a serious crime.
00:36:30I guess you're just gonna have to arrest me then, officer.
00:36:34You are way too addictive.
00:36:38I need rehab.
00:36:42Sorry, no can do.
00:36:46We've got a campaign to salvage.
00:36:48Interviews lined up.
00:36:51You're currently wearing exactly zero clothes.
00:36:59Sounds like you prefer me dressed.
00:37:01Disappointing.
00:37:03I'm sure you elected, aren't you?
00:37:13Dude, your poll numbers went way up after that speech.
00:37:19I mean, check this out.
00:37:21You're practically senior year Tom Holland.
00:37:23Charming, relatable, but still hot enough for thirst edits.
00:37:25So you're saying my chances are looking good again?
00:37:29Dude, you are literally back up to number one.
00:37:31It's all positive comments.
00:37:33But how did you pull this off?
00:37:35I mean, Xavier used to be against this whole thing.
00:37:37Now you've got him editing your speeches, organizing your life.
00:37:41Maybe because we're actually together.
00:37:43I was gonna say he was like your mom, but...
00:37:47Yeah.
00:37:48Lovers works too.
00:37:50What kind of black magic witchcraft did you pull to get Mr. Sheldon Cooper to fake date you?
00:38:00I didn't pull anything.
00:38:01I literally just fell for him.
00:38:09I caught feelings for him.
00:38:10That's really all it is.
00:38:11Wait.
00:38:13So you...
00:38:15and him...
00:38:17Started fake, got real.
00:38:19But he's Xavier Miller.
00:38:20I mean, he's practically an AI bot with a built-in firewall.
00:38:23Totally unreadable.
00:38:25That's just a surface code.
00:38:27You gotta go deeper.
00:38:29But, look.
00:38:30I'm just saying it would make way more sense if he were using you for somebody.
00:38:35For what, exactly?
00:38:37Don't forget.
00:38:38Bro used to be your biggest competitor.
00:38:40If this is some sort of long con and he flips on you at the last second...
00:38:45Nobody's that gonna fake me.
00:38:48I trust him.
00:38:56Hey, babe.
00:38:57We were just talking about you.
00:39:07Oh, God.
00:39:09It's actually real.
00:39:20Job hunting?
00:39:22You don't need to pay me back.
00:39:23I thought I made that clear.
00:39:26I know you don't have to worry about this stuff, but I do.
00:39:29It's just...
00:39:31Planning ahead.
00:39:32Figuring things out for myself.
00:39:34Well...
00:39:35The only thing we need to figure out right now...
00:39:38Is how to get some sleep.
00:39:45Seriously?
00:39:47Can I ever sleep like a normal person?
00:39:49Mm.
00:39:50Normal's boring.
00:39:51I am one of the kind.
00:39:54No, you're crushing me.
00:39:55Move.
00:39:57Make me.
00:39:59You're at the same time.
00:40:00You're not alone.
00:40:01No, you're not alone.
00:40:04No, you're not alone.
00:40:05Okay.
00:40:06You're a sinner.
00:40:07No, you're not alone.
00:40:08No way.
00:40:10No.
00:40:11No, you're not alone.
00:40:13It's like that I can't do everything.
00:40:15I'm not alone.
00:40:17No, you're not alone.
00:40:18Hey, it's wrapped up practice. Thought I'd swing by and pick you up. We can go home together.
00:40:37Swing by? You're half the city away. Fine, you got me. I missed you. Plus,
00:40:42I'm starving and only your pasta will do. I'm actually tempted to clock out right now.
00:40:48Customer, gotta go. See you at home. Hey, welcome. What can I get you? Coffee, black,
00:40:56and a little bit of you. What are you doing here? Had some business nearby. Better drop in.
00:41:05One block coffee coming up. By the way, uh, did you hear? Apparently, uh, Alex is planning
00:41:13dumping your apps. Excuse me? His fiance is flying in next week. Yeah, our dad arranged
00:41:20everything. Apparently, he sees you out of the picture. So...
00:41:25Let's go. Enjoy. Thanks. You call me anytime sexy.
00:41:38Great. Just what we need right now.
00:41:56So I know I'm leaving. Is he bothering you again? Same old, stirring the pot.
00:42:00What? Though he did mention your fiance's flying in next week.
00:42:10So it's true. I was going to tell you once things were sorted. I just didn't want to stress you out.
00:42:16What? So now I'm just some fragile little thing that you need to protect?
00:42:20Listen, I don't even know her. She's just some random girl my dad set me up with.
00:42:26So why keep it a secret then? What's the point? I was just...
00:42:32Scared of losing you.
00:42:38Let's get out of here. So we're good? No.
00:42:43But we still got roles to play and right now I need my boyfriend costume.
00:42:48I'll go in first. You park your car?
00:42:55Not even a goodbye kiss.
00:43:13Hey, I have an appointment. A friend booked it for me.
00:43:15Appointments must be confirmed by the client directly.
00:43:18And no offense, but you don't exactly fit our typical clientele.
00:43:29So judgy. Sheesh.
00:43:32Delighted to see you, Ms. Brown. How can I help you today?
00:43:36You're Alex's friend, right?
00:43:38Yeah.
00:43:43Serpin. But he doesn't have...
00:43:45Do you want to keep your job?
00:43:47Right this way, sir.
00:43:51Thanks.
00:43:52You don't happen to be a friend of Alex's too?
00:43:59Something like that.
00:44:01He wouldn't be thanking me if he knew I was Alex's fiance.
00:44:08Mr. Watson, a pleasure as always. Can I assist you with our new collection?
00:44:20Actually, I'm here shopping for my boyfriend.
00:44:25Do you have to announce it to everybody?
00:44:27I can tweet it out if you prefer.
00:44:29Absolutely delighted to assist you both today.
00:44:32Okay.
00:44:33Step one to looking like you have your shit together.
00:44:36A suit that actually fits.
00:44:37This one was made for you.
00:44:40Try it on.
00:44:44Why do I need a suit?
00:44:45It's you who's running for student body president.
00:44:48No, we both are.
00:44:51To the fitting room.
00:44:58What?
00:44:59It's a Valro cut.
00:45:02Flawless.
00:45:03And now, the right pair of kicks to pull it all together.
00:45:11You don't have to do that.
00:45:13I want to.
00:45:14Because you're worth it.
00:45:21Looking good.
00:45:22I just need a touch more tailoring.
00:45:37Lose the jacket.
00:45:39Wait, what are you doing?
00:45:40Relax.
00:45:41I'm not going to eat you.
00:45:44Just measuring.
00:45:5230 inch waist.
00:46:04Someone needs some carbs in your life.
00:46:07It's so bad.
00:46:08And I guess I'll just have to kiss you until you forget me.
00:46:16Mr. Watson, your suit is ready.
00:46:19Thanks.
00:46:20Just leave it out there.
00:46:29Smile.
00:46:30The truth always comes out.
00:46:46Mark?
00:46:46What's up?
00:46:47Emergency.
00:46:48Get to school right now.
00:46:50Things just blew up.
00:46:51Finally, come here.
00:46:57Does someone leak the contract again or something?
00:46:59Worse.
00:46:59We have a new opponent and she is rising fast.
00:47:02Hit him.
00:47:02We have to do something.
00:47:03She?
00:47:04Yeah.
00:47:04Laura Brown, the daughter of a crime family billionaire.
00:47:09Laura.
00:47:09Wait, you know her?
00:47:10At the tailor shop, she acted like she knew you.
00:47:12She does.
00:47:15She's my fiance.
00:47:16Fiance?
00:47:19When were you planning on telling us?
00:47:21It was arranged by my dad.
00:47:22I honestly really know her.
00:47:23Well, she seems to know plenty about you two.
00:47:26She's transferred in.
00:47:27She's charming the hell out of everyone.
00:47:29And your numbers are dropping fast.
00:47:31This can't just be a coincidence.
00:47:33Exactly.
00:47:33It isn't.
00:47:34She's transferred in and it's not just about winning the election.
00:47:37This is personal.
00:47:38If they find out about the arranged marriage, it's game over.
00:47:43She'll win by a month.
00:47:44Unless we find a crack in her game.
00:47:46We don't have time for that.
00:47:48Let me handle her.
00:47:49Sounds exciting.
00:47:53Why are you doing this?
00:47:55Maybe because you've got a secret boyfriend?
00:47:59As far as I'm concerned, we only met once.
00:48:02It was to get our parents off our backs.
00:48:03Nothing more.
00:48:04You sure you don't want to give me another shot?
00:48:06I'm way more interesting than you.
00:48:10You want a fair fight?
00:48:11Fine.
00:48:12But play dirty again and I'll stop being stolen by you.
00:48:20Big words.
00:48:23We'll see how long that confidence lasts.
00:48:32No, hey, get out.
00:48:41You're not welcome here.
00:48:43Relax.
00:48:44I'm just here to chat.
00:48:46You want to get into grad school at Princeton, right?
00:48:51Lifelong dream.
00:48:53Well, this is signed by the vice president.
00:48:57Guaranteed entry.
00:49:02No.
00:49:05You're bribing me.
00:49:06I'm not going to fall for it.
00:49:09I figured you'd say that.
00:49:11But my dad, he doesn't take them out well.
00:49:15And your dad, poor John, he owes people money.
00:49:20People who don't take kindly to being ignored.
00:49:23Leave my father out of this.
00:49:25And don't force me to call on favors.
00:49:32Relax.
00:49:33I'm not going to steal your boyfriend.
00:49:36Just showing you a better future.
00:49:40Love is overrated anyway.
00:49:43Yeah, maybe to you.
00:49:44To Alex, too.
00:49:50By the way, has he wished you happy birthday?
00:49:53Yeah.
00:50:04Need a lift?
00:50:05Could cost you a bow of water from the trunk.
00:50:08Fine.
00:50:09Fine.
00:50:10He doesn't even know it's my birthday.
00:50:17Happy birthday, babe.
00:50:26Now, you can finally type the letter M with any love.
00:50:28Happy birthday.
00:50:29Thanks, Alex.
00:50:31Hop in.
00:50:32There's more of a shame.
00:50:39I know you're not big on surprises, but I couldn't help myself.
00:50:47I don't mind them if they're from you.
00:50:53Listen, I'm not a romantic.
00:50:57I'm not going to play a violin outside your window or write you poetry.
00:51:02Hey, you bought me a laptop.
00:51:05I think that's pretty romantic.
00:51:07And practical.
00:51:10Point is,
00:51:12I mean this.
00:51:14Us.
00:51:16I'm all in.
00:51:17For real.
00:51:19I don't need violin serenades or poetry.
00:51:23I just need you.
00:51:26You've got me.
00:51:32Let's go back to yours.
00:51:45What'd you do if I got nothing left right now?
00:51:47I'd cry like an idiot.
00:51:48So don't even think about it.
00:51:58That's supposed to help you ace exams, not interrupt morning cuddles.
00:52:14I tracked the Truth Hunter account that leaked our contract.
00:52:18It's someone local.
00:52:21It's gotta be someone at school.
00:52:24Anything more?
00:52:24They accidentally switched their webcam on.
00:52:32Laura?
00:52:43She's breaking all sorts of privacy laws here.
00:52:47We should expose her.
00:52:48If we do that, she'll twist it.
00:52:50Make us look like the bullies.
00:52:51What else can we do?
00:52:52If people find out about our engagement, they'll believe her side.
00:52:56It's technically true.
00:52:56I am engaged.
00:52:58And why?
00:53:02Hey, I have an idea.
00:53:04How about some viral couples TikToks?
00:53:07Wholesome stuff, charity angle.
00:53:09I mean, that works well.
00:53:14Fine.
00:53:15Let's do it.
00:53:22You did that on purpose.
00:53:28Yep.
00:53:36Perfect and cut.
00:53:50Next up, book donations for underprivileged kids.
00:53:55Today, we are joined by the viral canvas couple Alex Watson and Xavier Miller.
00:54:00Welcome.
00:54:00Hey, everyone.
00:54:01Happy to be here.
00:54:03First question blowing up the chat.
00:54:05Why did you guys join this project?
00:54:06Growing up, books were my only escape.
00:54:09Reading helped me get through some tough times.
00:54:12It's important for me to pass that on.
00:54:15Plus, it's like the only thing we'd never fight about.
00:54:18Hey, guys.
00:54:20Sorry to interrupt.
00:54:22I'm Alex's friend.
00:54:25Quick question from the comments.
00:54:27Since you're both queer, thoughts on gay guys marrying girls?
00:54:31Like, is it just doing what you've got to do?
00:54:35Or is there more to it?
00:54:43Deception?
00:54:44Isn't that Laura Brown?
00:54:46Why do Alex and Xavier look so panicked?
00:54:50Just curious, guys.
00:54:51If someone has a fiancƩ and a secret boyfriend at the same time,
00:54:57who's the real side piece?
00:54:59What the fuck is going on?
00:55:01Who's lying?
00:55:02Good question.
00:55:03Maybe there's more going on than people think.
00:55:06What's worse?
00:55:08People keeping secrets or people leaking them anonymously?
00:55:14Touche.
00:55:19All right, back on track.
00:55:22Xavier, what's your favorite childhood book?
00:55:25The Hobbit.
00:55:26Uh, growing up, I always wanted my own cozy little hobbit hole.
00:55:33What the hell are you doing?
00:55:35Are you trying to ruin it?
00:55:36Wait and see.
00:55:37Are you out of your mind?
00:55:48I'm your fiancƩ.
00:55:50There's just one little kiss.
00:55:51What's the big deal?
00:55:52You and I both know that this engagement would never happen.
00:55:57Using a fake relationship just to win votes?
00:56:00That's pathetic.
00:56:02Even for you.
00:56:03Xavier and I don't need your approval.
00:56:06Threatening him behind my back, that's crossing the line.
00:56:10Good.
00:56:11Maybe you should keep a better eye on him.
00:56:13Next time, things might get uglier.
00:56:15What exactly is it that he wants me more?
00:56:20Everything that I'm entitled to.
00:56:29Xavier, get to the shop right now.
00:56:31All right, what's wrong?
00:56:39Fuck my life.
00:56:45He threatened to smash the windows if you didn't show.
00:56:50Scared off every customer we had.
00:56:52I'm sorry, I'll handle it.
00:56:53Just give me a minute.
00:56:54No, we're done.
00:56:55You're fired.
00:56:56I can't keep dealing with this.
00:57:01What do you want?
00:57:03Why don't you call your rich boyfriend?
00:57:08Uh, what's his name?
00:57:10Alex.
00:57:12Tell him we need some money.
00:57:14Daddy needs a bailout.
00:57:18You sold the home mom left us.
00:57:20You abandoned me.
00:57:21And now you want a bailout?
00:57:23You ungrateful brat.
00:57:26Sleeping with me.
00:57:29Humiliating our family.
00:57:31I should have sold you off when I had the chance.
00:57:35Next time I see you, make sure the syndicate knows exactly what you want.
00:57:43You ungrateful brat.
00:57:45You think you're above me now just because you got yourself a rich boyfriend.
00:57:50Hey, what the heck?
00:57:51Care of me?
00:57:52I can only find you, old man.
00:57:54Who are you?
00:57:56I'm sorry.
00:57:57Please don't hurt me.
00:57:58I'll give you the money.
00:58:00Oh, that's too late for that.
00:58:01Oh, please, please, I'm faking you.
00:58:10Where were you today after the live stream?
00:58:13Just to the library.
00:58:15The library?
00:58:16After what happened?
00:58:19I was going around school collecting feedback and I got some ideas that could boost your poll numbers.
00:58:23Can we please not talk about the election right now?
00:58:28I am so tired.
00:58:35So that's it?
00:58:36You're just giving up?
00:58:38Letting your fiance take over?
00:58:41What's that supposed to mean?
00:58:44Is there something going on with Laura that I should know about?
00:58:48Can we please just not do this right now?
00:58:53Maybe we should take a break.
00:59:00Xavier, wait.
00:59:08I'm such an idiot.
00:59:09Thinking I actually meant something to him.
00:59:20Oh, Jesus.
00:59:21Mark, where's Alex? I've been calling.
00:59:24He's at the frat house.
00:59:25Last minute vote grabbing.
00:59:27He's not checking his messages.
00:59:29Not even mine.
00:59:30Election day is tomorrow.
00:59:32He's got to be locked in.
00:59:39Are you all right?
00:59:40Do you need help?
00:59:41No.
00:59:43I'm fine.
00:59:43I'll handle it.
00:59:44Of course, he has people, goals, life.
00:59:53I've only ever had him.
00:59:54What am I supposed to do now?
01:00:10Want to make a deal?
01:00:11Your dad owes money to three different gangs.
01:00:17Including mine.
01:00:18Please don't hurt him.
01:00:20I'll figure something out.
01:00:23You can't afford it.
01:00:25Besides, it's the genuino family who took him.
01:00:2924 hours to pay up or they start sending body parts.
01:00:33What am I supposed to do?
01:00:40Sign this and I'll clear your dad's debt.
01:00:46But there's one condition.
01:00:48You have to break up with Alex for good.
01:00:57Where was he when you needed him the most?
01:01:02Can we please not talk about the election right now?
01:01:07I am so tired.
01:01:18You better keep your work.
01:01:24Browns don't lie.
01:01:32Xavier isn't answering my calls.
01:01:34What did you do?
01:01:36Me?
01:01:37I only saved his father's skin and paid off his debt.
01:01:41He should be thanking me.
01:01:43Debt?
01:01:44What debt?
01:01:45Why didn't Xavier tell me?
01:01:47Maybe because he dumped you?
01:01:52He made it pretty clear that you're finished.
01:01:58No way.
01:02:00He wouldn't.
01:02:02I need to talk to him.
01:02:14Why did you tell Laura we broke up?
01:02:16Because it's true.
01:02:17Look, the whole reason why I even dated you was to get into Princeton.
01:02:19Laura sorted that out for me and she bailed my dad out.
01:02:23Our deal's done.
01:02:26So you're dumping me for a college recommendation?
01:02:29Without her, my dad would be dead.
01:02:31And you just throw around the word love while holding a contract over my head.
01:02:38Like I'm just another stunt to boost your votes.
01:02:40Xavier, stop.
01:02:46This was never about the contract.
01:02:50I love you, okay?
01:02:51Don't push me away.
01:02:52Love.
01:02:53Love.
01:02:54No, I'm just another song story to you.
01:02:57Up there on your throne treating me like a charity case, I'm done.
01:03:03You know that's not true.
01:03:04You know me.
01:03:08Do I?
01:03:11You wake up in silk sheets while drinking your fancy coffee.
01:03:15I don't even know where I'm going to sleep tonight.
01:03:20We're worlds apart.
01:03:26Safe.
01:03:26Please, don't do this.
01:03:31Stay away from me, Alex.
01:03:37You make me sick.
01:03:47Get out of my life, we're done.
01:03:54I said get out!
01:03:56I'm so sorry, Alex.
01:04:10That was the hardest thing I've ever done.
01:04:15Sign this and I'll clear your dad's debt.
01:04:19But there's one condition.
01:04:23You have to break up with Alex.
01:04:26For good.
01:04:30I can't do that.
01:04:33Imagine I post a viral TikTok.
01:04:37As the heartbroken fiancƩ,
01:04:39betrayed by her closeted boyfriend.
01:04:43Alex won't just lose the election.
01:04:47He'll lose everything.
01:04:49You're twisting the truth.
01:04:54The truth?
01:04:56It's whatever people believe.
01:04:57He's already losing support.
01:04:59And his family's backing is next.
01:05:01Do you really want to just watch him lose everything else?
01:05:08You're dead weight, Xavier.
01:05:11And we both know it.
01:05:14My family can lift him up.
01:05:22You'll only drag him down.
01:05:25Alex, you're the best thing that's ever happened to me.
01:05:30I won't be the reason your life falls apart.
01:05:34So, you got a sign?
01:05:39You better keep your word.
01:05:42Browns don't lie.
01:05:43I won't be the best thing that's ever happened to me.
01:06:05Did you forget our agreement?
01:06:07You want me to drop out of the election?
01:06:17Fine.
01:06:19In return, you cut off Xavier and introduce me as your fiancƩ.
01:06:26If not, I'll email every voter the proof that your relationship was fake from the start.
01:06:32You'll lose everything.
01:06:47Get out.
01:06:59Love or legacy, Alex?
01:07:03Choose wisely.
01:07:14Our deal's done.
01:07:16Stay away from me, Alex.
01:07:22You make me sick.
01:07:32I'm sick.
01:07:41I'm sick.
01:07:48I'm sick.
01:07:52I'm sick.
01:07:52Alex! Alex! Alex! Alex! Alex! Alex!
01:08:22Hi. I'm Alex Watson, and today I am standing here as a liar.
01:08:36Xavier Miller and I were in a fake relationship, and we signed a contract.
01:08:42Seriously? What a fake!
01:08:45You lied to all of us.
01:08:48I started as fake, but then I fell for him.
01:08:57I've never met anyone like Xavier.
01:09:01Hey! This is Saint Mountain College, not a fucking pub.
01:09:07You okay, bro?
01:09:11He gave me the brush off. Cold as ice.
01:09:18I thought that he was just some arrogant genius who didn't have time for a guy like me.
01:09:28It all started with a stupid on-stage accident.
01:09:33Kiss.
01:09:35I want you to be my boyfriend.
01:09:38You investigated me.
01:09:41Oh my God!
01:09:45We need people to buy this, right?
01:09:50Unless we make it real.
01:09:53You don't have to do that.
01:09:55I want to.
01:09:56Happy birthday, babe.
01:09:57Because you're worth it.
01:09:59I mean this.
01:10:00Us.
01:10:01I'm all in.
01:10:02For real.
01:10:03I just need you.
01:10:09Xavier.
01:10:10Listen to me.
01:10:11I know you're watching.
01:10:13Fuck the election.
01:10:15Fuck family expectations.
01:10:17Fuck football.
01:10:19None of it matters without you.
01:10:22You are the only thing I have ever truly wanted.
01:10:31You are the only thing I have ever truly wanted.
01:10:36The votes are in.
01:10:38And the new student body president is...
01:10:40Alex Watson.
01:10:42Alex, come on up and give your speech.
01:10:46Where is he?
01:10:48Where is he?
01:10:55You idiot.
01:11:05What are you doing here?
01:11:06You just won the election.
01:11:07Screw the election.
01:11:08It's you I want.
01:11:14He's winning meant everything to you.
01:11:16Not if it means losing you.
01:11:26You are such a reckless asshole.
01:11:29But that was pretty sweet.
01:11:32Winning you beats any election.
01:11:38Alright, that plan is a solid 10.
01:11:46It's with all this construction.
01:11:48Are they building something?
01:11:49Close.
01:11:50It's a decade make-out spot.
01:11:52Presidential access only.
01:11:57President, I'll maybe try acting up there.
01:11:59Hey.
01:12:00I'm just keeping my campaign promises.
01:12:07He remembers.
01:12:08The football kit budget was inflated 230%.
01:12:13Money that could have paid for transport for students working late.
01:12:17Of course I did.
01:12:18It was the first time someone called me out for real.
01:12:21It stuck.
01:12:23Already testing out the new spot?
01:12:25Bold.
01:12:27What now?
01:12:28Relax.
01:12:32You hear her say goodbye.
01:12:34Goodbye.
01:12:37Turns out our dads officially saw a reason.
01:12:40The engagement's officially canceled.
01:12:42You're free, Alex.
01:12:44Just like that.
01:12:45I'm not even worth fighting for?
01:12:46He let her finish.
01:12:48Truth is, I didn't want to marry you either.
01:12:52Then why'd you try to come between us?
01:12:56I just wanted to prove myself.
01:12:59To my parents.
01:13:01To everyone.
01:13:06But, watching how fiercely you two stood by each other.
01:13:10Honestly, I envy that.
01:13:13The prints and things still stand, we say.
01:13:15You are in touch.
01:13:17Thanks, Laura.
01:13:19I'm off to Paris.
01:13:22New family business venture.
01:13:24Maybe see y'all sometime.
01:13:31Think she'll be okay?
01:13:33She'll be fine.
01:13:34She's tougher than both of us.
01:13:35She's more than a master block, Mr. President.
01:13:45I'm fine.
01:13:47I'm fine.
01:13:49I'm fine.
01:13:50I'm fine.
01:13:52I'm fine.
01:13:53You're fine.
01:13:55You're fine.
01:13:56I'm fine.
01:13:57You're fine.
01:13:58Yeah.
01:14:00You're fine.
