00:00:07Is that Alex? Dang! No wonder he's the top most bangable enlisted three years running. He's so fine.
00:00:15Yeah, rich daddy on the school board, isn't it?
00:00:18Today's a student president election? No chance anyone's beating him.
00:00:23So, who's this new guy I'm up against? Any dirt?
00:00:27Xavier, scholarship kid, geeky. Still fit though. Number two on the bangable list, so right behind you. Bit of a
00:00:36loner?
00:00:37Never heard of him.
00:00:38I told you, don't come home without the cash.
00:00:44Hey, this is St. Mountain High, not a freaking pub.
00:00:51Fine, but you won't outrun this.
00:00:56You okay?
00:01:02Yeah, I'm fine.
00:01:06Not even a thank you?
00:01:09At least tell me your name.
00:01:11It's not important.
00:01:12I'll never look away.
00:01:18That is Xavier Miller.
00:01:21Alright, Xavier.
00:01:23I'll see you at the debate.
00:01:31Alright, let's begin.
00:01:32The football kit budget was inflated two hundred and thirty percent.
00:01:37Money that could have paid for students transport who were working late.
00:01:44Are you accusing my father of corruption?
00:01:46Just stating the facts.
00:01:48Uh, we're gonna take a quick five minute recess.
00:01:54Here's another fact, genius.
00:01:56That extra money was used to help donate to underprivileged kids for new equipment.
00:02:00So, do you see now that you made me look like a fool for absolutely no reason?
00:02:11I know I can't do this.
00:02:22I can't change my mind.
00:02:26Just be so good.
00:02:29I know you're going to be in the subway.
00:02:33I know you're going to be in there.
00:02:34I know you're going to have a cam.
00:02:34I'm back next to you.
00:02:49What the actual fuck?
00:02:55That was unexpected.
00:02:58Did Alex just kiss that dude?
00:03:01I thought he got a gaze.
00:03:03Hey, you good?
00:03:06I want everything on him.
00:03:08And I mean everything.
00:03:11Yeah.
00:03:24I just sold the damn house.
00:03:29What?
00:03:31You had no right.
00:03:32That's all mom left us.
00:03:34Where will we live now?
00:03:35You want to see your old man get beaten to death by lung sharks?
00:03:42I need the money.
00:03:45How about quitting the booze and gambling instead of wrecking our lives?
00:03:57Eight o'clock tonight's school cafe.
00:04:00Got a proposal that could fix your money issues.
00:04:07I hear you laughing and I see you smile.
00:04:17You know that you're my everything.
00:04:24Whatever this is, make it quick.
00:04:29I want you to be my boyfriend.
00:04:32I want you to be my boyfriend.
00:04:42What?
00:04:44Are you expecting flowers and chocolates?
00:04:49I want to admissions.
00:04:54I also un fahrenheit and I want you to meet to me and I've been on this phone too.
00:05:08And I want you to tweet the quilt.
00:05:10Who is that lucky man?
00:05:12I want you to try this ever going in.
00:05:13You know?
00:05:13You've got it?
00:05:16A contract?
00:05:16Damage control. You see you made me look like a fool in front of the entire school, so
00:05:22Now you gotta fix it. If it weren't for the homophobia rumors
00:05:26Taking your poll numbers, would you still want to date a guy?
00:05:31Hell no. No, no, no. You see this is just business
00:05:39Duration? Tell the elections over.
00:05:46I like how you just went and I'm naughty and slightly afraid to be opening up
00:05:52Keep it professional, Watson. We'll get any ideas.
00:06:00Don't you worry. Feelings aren't on the menu.
00:06:22Let the games begin. Boyfriend.
00:06:28Let the games begin. Boyfriend.
00:06:40Let the games begin. Boyfriend.
00:06:43Hey, did I say you could leave?
00:06:46We have a frat party to hit. It's time to show off St. Mountain's new favorite couple.
00:06:58Is this part of the PR stunt too?
00:07:01Obviously one accidental kiss is not going to sell this relationship, now is it?
00:07:05Let's make it believable.
00:07:06Hey, look out! It's our star quarterback and his cute nerdy boyfriend!
00:07:13Watson, you're late. You know what that means, right?
00:07:15Penalty round.
00:07:18Let's go!
00:07:20Alright boys, rules are simple. Ice Cube goes mouth to mouth.
00:07:24No hands allowed, no dropping.
00:07:32Do we really have to do this?
00:07:34Are you scared?
00:07:42Technically this is not sanitary.
00:07:58No, I've got no plans tonight.
00:08:01Plans tonight.
00:08:04And it ain't too hard to notice.
00:08:17Yo, what?
00:08:19That wasn't passing.
00:08:21That was straight up speeding.
00:08:26Look at Xavier. He's turning it into a tomato.
00:08:31What the hell is wrong with you?
00:08:33We need people to buy this, right?
00:08:41What's that? Extra credit homework?
00:08:45Our campaign team thinks we're lacking couples chemistry.
00:08:48Voters aren't convinced.
00:08:52Well...
00:08:53Pro tip, genius.
00:08:55Kissing with your eyes open is a dead giveaway.
00:09:09You just ruined our chemistry reference.
00:09:12Voters want sparks, not stats.
00:09:15And, uh, Mark set up that whole live stream thing, so I think it's time to show the world just
00:09:20how in love we are.
00:09:21You didn't think to ask me first?
00:09:25Contract clearly states you do what I say.
00:09:29Oh, why don't you guys get the load of this?
00:09:31A robot boyfriend here is glitching again.
00:09:34What?
00:09:37Hey, it's got you so worked up, huh?
00:09:42You need a shower.
00:09:45Fine.
00:09:46But you're joining me.
00:09:48And Mark's gonna live stream the whole thing.
00:09:51It's time to showcase those acting chops.
00:10:08You mind grabbing me a towel?
00:10:10You didn't think to get one before the strip show?
00:10:13I could walk out naked if you'd like.
00:10:26What?
00:10:28Why so shy all of a sudden?
00:10:29You can have a quick look if you want.
00:10:31Maybe, uh...
00:10:34A little touch?
00:10:36I'm not gonna stop you.
00:10:40What?
00:10:40Why so shy all of a sudden?
00:10:45I'm not gonna stop you.
00:10:58By popular demand you asked and we answered.
00:11:01Question number one.
00:11:03What was your first impression of each other?
00:11:05He's loud.
00:11:06Seriously.
00:11:07Well, my first impression of him was...
00:11:10Who is this mysterious nerd calling me out in front of everybody?
00:11:15It was harsh.
00:11:16I gotta admit, but...
00:11:18Boy, was it cute.
00:11:19Still loud.
00:11:22Question number two.
00:11:24What's your favorite thing about each other?
00:11:27Um...
00:11:27I don't know.
00:11:29A sense of responsibility, maybe.
00:11:31Well, my favorite thing about him will have to be his fingers.
00:11:35Excuse me?
00:11:38Long.
00:11:39Elegant.
00:11:41Very skillful.
00:11:43Alright, next question.
00:11:44Next question is...
00:11:46Who is your most unforgettable kiss?
00:12:07Guys, major problem.
00:12:09Someone leaked the contract?
00:12:10Everyone knows you're faking right now.
00:12:16Oh my god.
00:12:17Did y'all see this?
00:12:18They signed a freaking contract?
00:12:20Yes.
00:12:21I thought they were gold.
00:12:23What a scam.
00:12:28The final debate is in three days.
00:12:30If we don't turn this around fast, you're finished.
00:12:32And I know, Mark.
00:12:34I already got people tracing the hack.
00:12:35Whoever fucking leaked this file is a dead man.
00:12:38Oh god.
00:12:42Okay, so...
00:12:42What are our options, huh?
00:12:44Everyone's seen the contract by now.
00:12:46There's no denying it.
00:12:50Unless...
00:12:52Unless...
00:12:52It's what?
00:12:58Unless we make it real.
00:13:05Unless we make it real.
00:13:08Xavier, I...
00:13:10I don't care.
00:13:11If the contract was fake.
00:13:12All I know is at some point it stopped being pretend to me.
00:13:16I couldn't stand you at first.
00:13:18Typical quarterback.
00:13:20Arrogant.
00:13:21Fully yourself.
00:13:22But then I saw you, after practice.
00:13:25Pushing yourself harder than everyone else.
00:13:27And I noticed how you always take the fall for your teammates.
00:13:31And the way you'd look at me.
00:13:32In class.
00:13:34Xavier, I...
00:13:35Do you honestly think I've been faking this all the time?
00:13:38I...
00:13:40I...
00:13:44I...
00:13:46I...
00:13:50I...
00:13:52I...
00:13:52I...
00:13:52I...
00:13:52I...
00:13:52I...
00:13:52I...
00:13:52The hacker broke into your laptop.
00:13:54The whole school is watching his feed right now.
00:13:58I...
00:13:59I...
00:14:00I...
00:14:03I...
00:14:06I...
00:14:17I can fake confidence during debates, smile through press conferences, even pretend I
00:14:22care about school traditions that I don't even like.
00:14:25There's no way I could fake this.
00:14:28And yeah, maybe it started as a deal, but now, everything I said was true.
00:14:46That was perfect.
00:14:49At least the votes won't go down now.
00:14:51I've done my bit.
00:14:54Hey.
00:14:59Just doing what we agreed to.
00:15:02But seeing you hurt was never part of the deal.
00:15:10I owe you, Xavier.
00:15:12And listen, whatever happens with the election, I just-
00:15:16It's nothing.
00:15:18Just stick into the script.
00:15:19Right?
00:15:21You sure that's all it is?
00:15:24You sure there's no hidden feelings creeping up?
00:15:27God, you never stop.
00:15:29I hate you.
00:15:29Mm-hmm.
00:15:31Dead end on the hacker.
00:15:32Whoever it was was bouncing off multiple VPNs.
00:15:36Great.
00:15:37So you're dealing with a pro.
00:15:39Listen, everybody is going to be watching your every move.
00:15:43Okay?
00:15:43Every look, every moment has to be authentic.
00:15:48We got this.
00:15:49Right?
00:15:55Oh, shit.
00:15:58Left my football gear at home.
00:15:59My school paper shoots tomorrow.
00:16:02Wanna come with?
00:16:04Sure.
00:16:05Because I've got nothing else to do.
00:16:07Come on.
00:16:12Okay.
00:16:14Something is definitely going on between those two.
00:16:25Whoa.
00:16:27This is your average family home?
00:16:29My father's place, not mine.
00:16:32Meaning?
00:16:33Meaning, I have an older half-brother and a dad who's super big on competition.
00:16:38So, if I want any part of this family fortune, then I have to beat him.
00:16:46Winning that election, it's the first step.
00:16:50Keep your family drama to yourself, or not your therapist?
00:16:55You serious?
00:16:57I thought you were the one who wanted to make this look believable.
00:17:00Fine.
00:17:01I'll keep your sad rich boy drama in mind.
00:17:04Shut up.
00:17:05Come on.
00:17:08Alright, well, I need to go grab my jersey, but why don't you read a book or something?
00:17:23Well, well.
00:17:25I didn't expect to see you here.
00:17:28Sorry, do I know you?
00:17:32You must be Xavier, the famous boyfriend.
00:17:38And you are?
00:17:39I'm Noah, Alex's older brother.
00:17:44Ouch.
00:17:46Cold reception.
00:17:48So, has Alex's fiancee met you yet?
00:17:53Fiancee?
00:17:54Oh.
00:17:55Did he leave out that little detail?
00:17:59This whole fake boyfriend thing.
00:18:01He's done it before.
00:18:02Left quite the trail of broken hearts.
00:18:05What are you implying?
00:18:08Alex doesn't date guys.
00:18:10He'll only get yourself hurt.
00:18:13You deserve to be with someone better.
00:18:16Someone like me.
00:18:17Are you insane?
00:18:19I'm just gay.
00:18:21An observant.
00:18:24Let's not pretend that you're straight to now, sweetheart.
00:18:32Get off, I'm not.
00:18:33Then why are you shaking?
00:18:35You're seriously messed up.
00:18:37Takes one to know one.
00:18:39You can't lie to yourself forever.
00:18:42Alex can offer you fame, money, all the shiny things in life.
00:18:46But I can offer you something he never could.
00:18:49Something real.
00:18:52Get off.
00:18:53What the fuck are you doing?
00:18:56Excellent timing, little brother.
00:18:59You stay the hell away from me.
00:19:02You hear me?
00:19:08Relax, babe.
00:19:10It's just some friendly competition.
00:19:13I'll be seeing you real soon.
00:19:16I can feel it.
00:19:19Asshole.
00:19:20It's okay.
00:19:25Look, don't believe a word he says.
00:19:28Noah thrives on chaos.
00:19:30Including the part about your fiancé?
00:19:34Look, that's just an arranged thing.
00:19:36Okay, my dad's idea.
00:19:38I honestly don't even know her.
00:19:40You don't owe me an explanation, Alex.
00:19:43I'm just a part of your PR stunt, right?
00:19:47Is that really all this is to him?
00:19:50Right.
00:19:51Yeah, you're absolutely right.
00:19:55I'm heading back.
00:19:57No.
00:19:57Why don't you just stay here?
00:20:00Why don't you just stay here?
00:20:01The guest room's open.
00:20:02I don't usually stay the night.
00:20:05Alright, then let me drive you.
00:20:13Hello?
00:20:14Congrats, kid.
00:20:15You're officially homeless.
00:20:17Don't bother coming back.
00:20:19You're on your own now.
00:20:20No.
00:20:24I guess I might take you up on that offer.
00:20:27Best decision you're gonna make tonight.
00:20:29Now, let me show you to your room.
00:20:32Or mine if you prefer.
00:20:41You know I, uh, always dreamt of going pro in the NFL.
00:20:46I'm not surprised.
00:20:48You're football crazy.
00:20:50Yeah.
00:20:52I was a quarterback.
00:20:53Even one state.
00:20:55My dad, he had other plans for me.
00:21:00Said he wouldn't have a Watson waste his future throwing a ball around.
00:21:06Yeah.
00:21:09So, I became the perfect son.
00:21:13Got straight A's.
00:21:15Student body president.
00:21:17Anything in hopes that he let me play football again.
00:21:24Now your turn.
00:21:27Secret for secret.
00:21:29You've already seen enough.
00:21:30My father's a gambler.
00:21:33Family's a mess.
00:21:35There's nothing left to tell.
00:21:37See, I don't buy it.
00:21:39I think you have a bigger secret to tell, but...
00:21:41You're just too scared to say it out loud.
00:21:50Tell me.
00:21:51It'll be our little secret.
00:22:06I want to be the only one you tell.
00:22:08Let's not pretend that you're straight two now, sweetheart.
00:22:11You're wasted.
00:22:12Sleep it off.
00:22:14I'm taking a shower.
00:22:26I don't pay you for a cuddler.
00:22:35I don't pay you for a cuddler.
00:22:39I don't pay you for a cuddler.
00:22:42The real secret is...
00:22:44I fell for someone I wasn't supposed to.
00:22:53Alex.
00:22:54Don't leave.
00:22:56You really shouldn't.
00:22:58Stay.
00:23:01Please.
00:23:02Please.
00:23:16I know your little secret.
00:23:20What secret?
00:23:23It's about me.
00:23:25Isn't it?
00:23:36Alex.
00:23:39Done.
00:23:41Everything.
00:23:42Staying.
00:23:54It was just a dream.
00:24:02Don't go.
00:24:04Alex, let go. Stay.
00:24:22Alex?
00:24:37Since when did you become Mr. Homemaker?
00:24:40I'd impress you somehow, right?
00:24:42And what better way to do that than a nice breakfast?
00:25:09So check it out.
00:25:10Chef Alex's world-famous grilled cheese. Michelin star pending.
00:25:16Did it survive a crime scene?
00:25:18Hey, hey, hey. I'll have you know that I ate sandwich making at summer camp, okay?
00:25:27Oh.
00:25:30Okay. Fine. Tastes a lot better than it looks.
00:25:33There we go. Am I boyfriend material or what?
00:25:47Alex doesn't date guys.
00:25:49You okay?
00:25:51Drop the act, Alex. There's no one even around to impress.
00:25:55What's that supposed to mean?
00:26:01Forget it. I'm heading to the library.
00:26:04Xavier!
00:26:05Wait, you barely touched your grilled cheese!
00:26:13Come on.
00:26:15Damn it!
00:26:25Oh, you're John's kid, right?
00:26:29Your dad owes me a lot of money.
00:26:32He sold the house. The debt should be cleared.
00:26:35But he didn't pay me a single cent.
00:26:38Shit!
00:26:39How deep is this old bastard anyway?
00:26:41You're his kid.
00:26:43So either you settled his debt,
00:26:45or I start taking pieces.
00:26:47It's between you and him.
00:26:48Please, just leave me out of it.
00:26:58Nah.
00:26:59You're definitely involved in it now.
00:27:19Back off, asshole.
00:27:21Who the fuck?
00:27:39You touch him again, you're dead.
00:27:45Two grand, two days.
00:27:50Where your old man's missing a kidney.
00:27:59Alex!
00:28:02You okay?
00:28:03No. Are you?
00:28:06Look at your face.
00:28:10You idiot, why would you do that?
00:28:13Alright, maybe I went a little bit overboard.
00:28:18We need to go to the hospital.
00:28:24You've got an old injury,
00:28:25and now you've seriously torn the ligaments.
00:28:28You're out for the rest of the season.
00:28:30If you push it,
00:28:31you might never step on the field again.
00:28:38I've ruined your entire future.
00:28:40Your entire dream.
00:28:44I hope all is my dream.
00:28:46You're what I really want.
00:28:48You are insane.
00:28:52Well, since this is technically your fault,
00:28:55you definitely owe me.
00:28:57Then what exactly do you want?
00:29:00Move in with me.
00:29:02Be my personal nurse.
00:29:08Fine.
00:29:10I guess it's the least I can do.
00:29:15Now feed me.
00:29:17Absolutely not.
00:29:23Alright.
00:29:25Just one bite.
00:29:28And here begins your life as my caretaker.
00:29:48You bite now?
00:29:50You started it.
00:29:52Maybe I'll have to finish it.
00:29:54Won't I?
00:29:59Remember?
00:30:00No strenuous activity.
00:30:03Especially involving your arm.
00:30:05Well, what if Xavier's on top?
00:30:09Kids these days.
00:30:12You are impossible.
00:30:14It's a love story, babe.
00:30:16I'm just staying in character.
00:30:21Fine.
00:30:22If that's what it takes.
00:30:25Welcome home, babe.
00:30:31Ow!
00:30:33Look, I have one arm.
00:30:34The floors are all wet.
00:30:36This is a potential drowning hazard.
00:30:38Can I get a little help?
00:30:40Nice try.
00:30:41You'll manage.
00:30:50Xavier! Help! I slipped!
00:30:55You are unbelievable.
00:30:57Unbelievably sexy, maybe.
00:31:09Stop it.
00:31:10Put your clothes on.
00:31:12Are you blushing?
00:31:14I am not.
00:31:15Oh, sure.
00:31:22Hold this.
00:31:24Now hold that.
00:31:25And if it drops, then...
00:31:28That must mean you want me.
00:31:29You're insane.
00:31:31Maybe.
00:31:42You can start here.
00:31:48Whoa.
00:31:50Careful.
00:31:51My skin's more sensitive than my reputation.
00:31:56Shut up.
00:32:43Bathtime is couple time, right?
00:32:44Do you think this is funny?
00:32:45Just lighten up. I'm just joking.
00:32:49Am I just a punchline to you?
00:32:51A prop for your campaign?
00:32:53I stuck around because I cared about you.
00:32:56And this is how you treat me?
00:33:07Did I overreact?
00:33:14I'm sorry.
00:33:18Okay, but...
00:33:20What if I actually fell in love with you?
00:33:39I thought that I hated you.
00:33:42But it turns out I just...
00:33:45Hated how much I wanted you.
00:33:50Let the games begin, boyfriend.
00:33:55No one's watching us. You can drop the acne.
00:34:02At first I just wanted the rumors to stop.
00:34:05And...
00:34:06Signing that contract felt like my only choice.
00:34:14Unless we make it real.
00:34:19And then when everything fell apart...
00:34:22And I was losing the election...
00:34:27You stepped in.
00:34:32You saved me.
00:34:34And you didn't have to.
00:34:38Get off!
00:34:40What the fuck are you doing?!
00:34:44And when I saw him that close to you...
00:34:48It hurt more than losing the election ever could.
00:34:58So...
00:34:59Would you consider making this real with me?
00:35:12Forget what I said earlier.
00:35:14I just...
00:35:22Are you sure?
00:35:40You're driving me crazy.
00:35:42Let's not pretend like it isn't happening.
00:35:51You're driving me crazy.
00:35:54Let's not pretend like it isn't happening.
00:35:58You are driving me crazy.
00:35:59And then the end...
00:36:00In the end...
00:36:22Watch out cool.
00:36:22I'm driving me crazy.
00:36:23You can spend time on YouTube and leave me too!
00:36:24I'm driving me crazy.
00:36:24You're driving me crazy, I'm driving me crazy.
00:36:38Good morning, Sleeping Beauty.
00:36:42Did I catch you stealing kisses again?
00:36:45You know that's a serious crime, right?
00:36:47Guess you'll have to arrest me, officer.
00:36:55You are way too addictive.
00:36:58I might need rehab.
00:37:01Sorry, no can do.
00:37:03You've got a campaign to salvage, interviews lined up,
00:37:08and you're currently wearing exactly zero clothes.
00:37:16Sounds like you prefer me fully dressed.
00:37:19It's disappointing.
00:37:21I prefer you elected, actually.
00:37:38Dude, your poll numbers shot up after that speech.
00:37:41Look at this.
00:37:42You're like a senior year Tom Holland.
00:37:45Charismatic, relatable, and still sexy enough for thirst edits.
00:37:49So, you're saying my chances are good again?
00:37:52Dude, you're literally back to number one.
00:37:53Look at this.
00:37:55I mean, all positive comments, too.
00:37:57But seriously, how do you pull this off?
00:38:00Xavier was against this whole thing from the start,
00:38:02and how he's editing your speeches and organizing your life.
00:38:06Maybe it's because we're actually together now.
00:38:09Right.
00:38:09I was going to say he's acting more like your mom, but...
00:38:12Yeah.
00:38:13Whatever works.
00:38:15Man, what kind of witchcraft did you have to pull to get Sheldon Cooper to fake date you?
00:38:24I didn't lose anything.
00:38:27I literally just fell for him.
00:38:35I caught feelings for him.
00:38:37That's all it is.
00:38:38Wow.
00:38:39So, you and him started fake, and then it got real.
00:38:46Dude, he's Xavier Miller.
00:38:48Okay?
00:38:49He's like an AI bot with a built-in firewall.
00:38:51Totally unreadable.
00:38:52Nah, it's just surface code.
00:38:55He's gotta dig a little deeper.
00:38:58Listen, man.
00:38:59All I'm saying is it makes a lot more sense for him to be using you for something here.
00:39:05And using me for what, exactly?
00:39:08Don't forget, he was your biggest competition.
00:39:12Okay, what if this is a long con, and he's gonna flip on you at the end?
00:39:15Look, nobody's that good at faking it.
00:39:18I trust him.
00:39:19With every line, writes itself on our skin.
00:39:24I can carry away, count each one.
00:39:27Hey, babe.
00:39:28We were just talking about you.
00:39:31When the story of our lives...
00:39:35Oh, God.
00:39:38It's actually real.
00:39:49Are you job hunting?
00:39:51See, if I said you didn't have to pay me back.
00:39:54I thought I made that clear.
00:39:56I know you don't have to think about this kind of stuff, but I do.
00:39:59I'm just planning ahead.
00:40:00Figuring things out for myself.
00:40:05Well...
00:40:07The only thing we have to figure out right now is how to get some sleep.
00:40:24Seriously, can you ever just sleep like a normal person?
00:40:27Normal's boring.
00:40:29And I'm one of a kind.
00:40:32You're crushing me, move.
00:40:34Make me.
00:40:37Hey, stop.
00:40:41Stop.
00:40:45Fine.
00:40:57Hey, I just wrapped up at practice.
00:40:59Thought I could swing by and pick you up.
00:41:00Could ride home together.
00:41:02Swing by?
00:41:03You're half the city away.
00:41:05Okay, fine.
00:41:06You got me.
00:41:07Maybe I miss you.
00:41:09And also, I'm starving and only your pasta's gonna hit the spot.
00:41:14I'm actually tempted to clock out right now.
00:41:18Oh, customer.
00:41:20See you tonight?
00:41:23Welcome.
00:41:24What can I get you?
00:41:25Black coffee, no sugar, and a little bit of you.
00:41:30What are you doing here?
00:41:31I just had some business, but I couldn't help but drop in.
00:41:36Black coffee, no sugar coming up.
00:41:42Oh, and by the way, did you hear the news?
00:41:45Alex is planning on dumping your ass.
00:41:47Excuse me?
00:41:49Daddy's had it all arranged.
00:41:51Alex's fiance flies in next week.
00:41:53Apparently he needs you out of the picture.
00:42:02Enjoy.
00:42:09Call me any time, sexy.
00:42:24Just who we need it right now.
00:42:30Hey, I just saw Noah leaving.
00:42:32Is he bothering you again?
00:42:34Same old, just stirring the pot.
00:42:36Though he did mention your fiance's flying in next week.
00:42:40Oh.
00:42:43So it's true?
00:42:45I was gonna tell you once things were sorted, but I just didn't want to stress you out, you know?
00:42:50Oh, cool. So I'm just some fragile thing you need to protect?
00:42:53No, I barely even know her.
00:42:55She's just some random girl my dad set me up with.
00:42:58Then why hide it? What's the point?
00:43:05I was scared of losing you.
00:43:12Let's get out of here.
00:43:14So we're okay?
00:43:15No.
00:43:17But we still have roles to play.
00:43:19Kissing your lips and I'm coming alive.
00:43:22And right now...
00:43:24I need to get my boyfriend costume.
00:43:29You park the car.
00:43:30I'll go in first.
00:43:31Oh, wait, wait, wait.
00:43:33Where's my goodbye kiss?
00:43:45I have an appointment. A friend booked it for me.
00:43:49Appointments have to be confirmed by the client directly.
00:43:52And no offense, but you don't exactly fit our typical clientele.
00:44:01So judgy.
00:44:03Eesh.
00:44:04Miss Brown.
00:44:05Delightful to see you today.
00:44:07How can I help you?
00:44:08You're Alex's friend, right?
00:44:10Yeah.
00:44:15Serpent.
00:44:16But he doesn't over-
00:44:18Do you want to lose your job?
00:44:19I'm sorry, sir.
00:44:22Thanks.
00:44:23You wouldn't happen to be a friend of Alex's too?
00:44:33He wouldn't be thanking me if he knew.
00:44:35I was Alex's fiancée.
00:44:38Something like that.
00:44:40I'm Laura.
00:44:42I'll see you.
00:44:54Mr. Watson, pleasure to see you. Can I interest you in our latest collection?
00:44:58Well, actually I'm shopping for my boyfriend here.
00:45:02Do you really have to announce it to everyone?
00:45:05I can tweet it out if you'd like.
00:45:09I'm absolutely delighted to assist you both today. This way, please.
00:45:16Now, the first step to looking like you have your shit together? A suit that actually fits.
00:45:24And this one will fit you perfectly. Go on, try it on.
00:45:30Why do I need a suit when you're the one running for student body president?
00:45:33Well, you see, we both are.
00:45:46Savile row cut.
00:45:49Lawless.
00:45:50And now, the perfect pair of kicks to tie it all together.
00:46:08You don't have to do this, but I want to. Because you're worth it.
00:46:19All right. Looking good. It does need a touch more tailoring though.
00:46:31All right, let's get this jacket off.
00:46:33Hey, wait. What are you doing?
00:46:35Relax. Okay, I'm not gonna bite. Unless you want me to.
00:46:38No. I'm just measuring.
00:46:56Wow. 28 inch waist, huh?
00:47:01Looks like someone needs some carbs in their life.
00:47:05Hey.
00:47:07I'm still mad at you.
00:47:11Maybe I'll just have to kiss you until you forgive me.
00:47:18Mr. Watson. Your suit. It's ready.
00:47:23Yeah, just, uh, leave it outside.
00:47:31Hey, don't we clean up nice, huh?
00:47:38Smile.
00:48:04Hey, Mark. What's up?
00:48:06Emergency. Get to the school right now. Things just blew up.
00:48:16Finally, come here.
00:48:20Did someone leak the contract again or something?
00:48:22No. Worse.
00:48:24We have a new opponent and she's rising fast.
00:48:27We have to do something.
00:48:29Wait, wait, wait. She?
00:48:30Yeah.
00:48:32Laura Brown.
00:48:33You know, the daughter of crime family billionaire Walter Brown.
00:48:38Laura.
00:48:41You know Laura too?
00:48:43At the tailor shop. She acted like she knew you.
00:48:45She does. She's my fiance.
00:48:50Fiance? When the hell were you gonna tell us about that?
00:48:53Look, it was just an arranged thing from my dad.
00:48:56I honestly barely know her.
00:49:00Okay, well, she knows plenty about you two.
00:49:03She's charming the hell out of everyone.
00:49:05Your numbers are dropping. Fast.
00:49:08I mean, this can't just be a coincidence.
00:49:10Exactly.
00:49:12She's here for a reason and it's not to win some election.
00:49:17This just became personal.
00:49:22If people find out about this engagement, it's game over.
00:49:26She'll win by a mile.
00:49:27Unless we find a crack in her game.
00:49:30There's no time.
00:49:32I can handle her.
00:49:35Sounds exciting.
00:49:39Why are you doing this?
00:49:41Maybe it's because you have a secret boyfriend?
00:49:44As far as I'm concerned, our parents set us up on one date.
00:49:48Nothing more.
00:49:49You sure you don't wanna give me another shot?
00:49:51I'm way more interesting than him.
00:49:53If you want a fair fight, then fine.
00:49:57But play dirty again.
00:49:59I won't be so polite.
00:50:04Big words.
00:50:05We'll see how long that confidence lasts.
00:50:13Get out.
00:50:15You're not welcome here.
00:50:16Relax.
00:50:17I'm just here to chat.
00:50:18You said you wanna get into Princeton, right?
00:50:20Lifelong dream?
00:50:21Well, this is signed by the Vice President.
00:50:24Guaranteed entry.
00:50:27Are you bribing me?
00:50:29I figured you'd say that.
00:50:31But my father doesn't take no well.
00:50:33And your dad, poor John,
00:50:35he owes a lot of people money.
00:50:38People who don't take kindly to being ignored.
00:50:41Keep my father out of this.
00:50:43Then don't force me to call in favors.
00:50:46Relax.
00:50:47I'm not stealing your boyfriend.
00:50:48I'm just showing you a better future.
00:50:51Love is overrated anyway.
00:50:54Maybe to you.
00:50:56And for Alex, too.
00:50:58Oh, has he wished you a happy birthday yet?
00:51:08Need a ride?
00:51:10Just cost you a water bottle out the trunk.
00:51:12He doesn't even know it's my birthday.
00:51:14Fine.
00:51:27Happy birthday, babe.
00:51:32Happy birthday, babe.
00:51:34You can finally type the letter M without your laptop imploding.
00:51:39Thank you, Alex.
00:51:44Now, hop in.
00:51:45There's something else I want to show you.
00:51:49No, no, no.
00:51:58This is nice.
00:52:01Yes, it is.
00:52:04And I know you're not too big on surprises, but I just couldn't resist.
00:52:10I don't mind them, if they're from you.
00:52:14And listen, I'm not really a romantic.
00:52:18You know, I'm not going to be outside your window
00:52:20with a violin and flowers or writing you poetry.
00:52:24You bought me a laptop?
00:52:25Pretty romantic and practical.
00:52:29Okay, look, the point is, whatever this is,
00:52:33I mean, us, I'm all in.
00:52:36For real.
00:52:39I don't need violin serenades or poetry.
00:52:44I just need you.
00:52:57Well, you got me.
00:53:16Let's go back to yours.
00:53:18Let's go.
00:53:27What would you do if I got up and left right now?
00:53:29I'd probably cry like an idiot.
00:53:32Don't even think about it.
00:53:50You know, that thing was supposed to help you ace exams, not interrupt morning cuddles.
00:53:55I tracked the truth under an account that leaked our contract.
00:53:58Someone local.
00:54:00Then it must be someone at school, right?
00:54:04Did you find anything else?
00:54:07They accidentally switched their webcam on.
00:54:10Laura.
00:54:17She's breaking all sorts of privacy laws.
00:54:19We should expose her.
00:54:20But if we do that, then she'll twist it and make us look like bullies.
00:54:23What else can we do?
00:54:24If people find out about our engagement, then they're going to take her side.
00:54:27I mean, it is true I'm engaged.
00:54:30Then what?
00:54:32I might have something.
00:54:33Why don't we try making some viral couples TikToks?
00:54:37You know, wholesome stuff, charity angle.
00:54:40Tends to work.
00:54:43Fine.
00:54:44Let's do it.
00:54:57You did that on purpose.
00:54:58You bet I did.
00:55:16Cut.
00:55:17That's perfect.
00:55:21Next up, book donations for underprivileged kids.
00:55:24I'm here with viral campus couple Xavier Miller and Alex Watson.
00:55:29Welcome.
00:55:29Hey, everyone.
00:55:31Happy to be here.
00:55:32Let's see.
00:55:33First question blowing up the chat.
00:55:35What made you guys pick this project?
00:55:37Growing up, books were my only escape.
00:55:39Reading helped me get through some tough times.
00:55:41It's important for me to pass that on.
00:55:43Yeah, it's like the one thing we never fight about either.
00:55:46Hey, I'm Alex's friend.
00:55:50Quick question from the comments.
00:55:52Since you both are queer, thoughts on gay guys marrying girls?
00:55:55Is it just doing what you gotta do or is there more to it?
00:56:04Guys, if someone has a secret boyfriend and a fiancé at the same time, who's the real side piece?
00:56:12Uh, that's a good question.
00:56:15You know, maybe there's more to that than people think.
00:56:22What's worse?
00:56:23Someone keeping secrets or someone leaking it anonymously?
00:56:27Touché.
00:56:28Okay.
00:56:29Alright, guys, back on track.
00:56:31Um, Xavier, did you have a favorite book as a kid?
00:56:35Ta-ta.
00:56:36Uh, The Hobbit.
00:56:38I always wanted my own little cozy Hobbit hole.
00:56:42What the hell is wrong with you?
00:56:46Are you trying to ruin my-
00:56:58Are you out of your mind?
00:57:00I'm your fiancé.
00:57:01It's just one little kiss.
00:57:02What's the big deal?
00:57:03Oh, come on, Laura.
00:57:05You and I both know that engagement would never happen.
00:57:08Using a fake relationship just to win votes?
00:57:10That's pathetic, even for you.
00:57:12Xavier and I don't need your approval.
00:57:14And if you threaten him one more time behind my back, it won't end well.
00:57:19Oh, you found out?
00:57:20Good.
00:57:21Maybe you'll keep a better eye on him the next time.
00:57:23Things might get uglier.
00:57:25What do you want from me?
00:57:30Everything I'm entitled to.
00:57:35Xavier, get to the shop right now.
00:57:41Why? What's wrong?
00:57:45Fuck my life, man.
00:57:52Hey!
00:57:53What are you looking at?
00:57:54Get out of here!
00:57:56You gotta go, man.
00:57:58No, I don't.
00:57:58No.
00:57:59You have to leave.
00:58:00Call my son.
00:58:01Call my son, man.
00:58:03He threatened to shatter all the windows if you didn't show.
00:58:06Threaten all the customers away.
00:58:07I'm so sorry.
00:58:08I can handle it if you just...
00:58:09Just hit me a minute to...
00:58:10Man, I can't keep dealing with this.
00:58:12Next time this happens, you're fired.
00:58:17What do you want?
00:58:18Call your rich boyfriend.
00:58:21What's his name?
00:58:22Alex?
00:58:23Tell him to pay up.
00:58:25Daddy needs a bailout.
00:58:28You sold the house Mom left us.
00:58:30You abandoned me.
00:58:32And now you want a bailout?
00:58:34You filthy little bastard.
00:58:36Sleeping around.
00:58:38With men.
00:58:40Humiliating our family name.
00:58:43I should have sold you off when I had the chance.
00:58:47Next time I see you,
00:58:49I'll make sure the Syndicate knows exactly where you are.
00:58:56Ungrateful brat.
00:58:58What, think you're above me now just cause you got yourself a rich boyfriend?
00:59:03Oh, no!
00:59:05Finally found you, old man.
00:59:11Finally found you, old man.
00:59:13Please!
00:59:14Don't hurt me.
00:59:15Just don't hurt me.
00:59:16I'll get the money.
00:59:17Don't hurt me.
00:59:18Oh, it's a little too late for that.
00:59:23Where'd you go after the live stream?
00:59:25I tried calling you like a million times.
00:59:27Just the library.
00:59:28The library?
00:59:29After what happened?
00:59:31Just collecting some feedback around school.
00:59:33Got some ideas to boost your polls.
00:59:35Can we not talk about the election right now?
00:59:38Just tired, okay?
00:59:44So that's it?
00:59:46You're just giving up?
00:59:47Letting your fiancé take over?
00:59:49What, are you jealous or something?
00:59:51Is there something going on with Laura I should know about?
00:59:53Can we please just not talk about this right now?
00:59:56Maybe we should take a break.
01:00:01Xavier, wait!
01:00:01Hey, I...
01:00:12I'm such an idiot.
01:00:13Thinking I actually meant something to him.
01:00:22Oh, Jesus.
01:00:24Mark, where's Alex?
01:00:26I've been called.
01:00:27He's at the frat house, last minute Vogue grabbing.
01:00:29And he's not answering his messages.
01:00:30Not even mine?
01:00:32Look, it's the day before the election.
01:00:34He's totally locked in, okay?
01:00:36Hey, you alright?
01:00:39Need any help?
01:00:40It's alright.
01:00:41I'll handle it.
01:00:43Of course.
01:00:45He's got people, goals, a life.
01:00:47I've only ever had him.
01:00:53What am I gonna do now?
01:00:57Wanna make a deal?
01:01:07What do you wanna do?
01:01:07Your dad owes money to three different gangs, including mine.
01:01:10Please don't hurt him.
01:01:11I promise I'll figure something out.
01:01:13You can't afford it.
01:01:15Besides, if the Henglino family took him.
01:01:1724 hours today start sending body parts.
01:01:20What am I supposed to do?
01:01:27Sign this, and I'll pay off your dad's debt, but on one condition, you have to stop seeing
01:01:34Alex for good.
01:01:39Where was he when you needed him most?
01:01:41You better keep your word.
01:01:43Browns don't lie.
01:01:50What the hell did you do? Xavier's not answering my calls.
01:01:53Me? I only saved his father's skin and paid off his debt. He should be thanking me.
01:02:00Wait, debt? What debt? Xavier never told me about that.
01:02:05Maybe because he dumped you? He was pretty clear that you're finished.
01:02:10No. No way, no, he wouldn't do that.
01:02:14I need to go talk to him.
01:02:28Why didn't you tell Laura we broke up?
01:02:31Because it's true.
01:02:33Look, the whole reason I even dated you was for Princeton.
01:02:37Laura sorted that for me, and she bailed my dad out.
01:02:40So our deal, it's done.
01:02:42So you're just going to dumb me for a college recommendation?
01:02:45Without her, my dad would be dead.
01:02:48And you're just holding a contract over my head, like I'm some stunt to boost your votes.
01:02:53Xavier, stop.
01:02:54The contract never mattered.
01:02:57I love you.
01:02:59Okay, don't push me away.
01:03:02Love?
01:03:02Love?
01:03:03I'm just a sob story to me.
01:03:06Up there on your throne, treating me like a charity case.
01:03:09I'm done.
01:03:11You know that's not true.
01:03:13You know me.
01:03:14Do I?
01:03:16You wake up in your silk sheets, drinking your fancy coffee.
01:03:22I don't even know where I'm going to sleep tonight.
01:03:25We're worlds apart.
01:03:28Xavier, please don't do this.
01:03:29Stay away from me.
01:03:31You make me sick.
01:03:37Just get out of my life.
01:03:39We're done.
01:03:41I just...
01:03:42I said we're done.
01:03:48We're done.
01:03:59I'm so sorry, Alex.
01:04:02I'm sorry, C-3rd.
01:04:05Sign this, and I'll pay your dad's debt.
01:04:09But in return, you have to cut off Alex for good.
01:04:15Can't do that.
01:04:17Imagine I post a viral TikTok as the heartbroken fiancé betrayed by her closeted boyfriend.
01:04:24Alex won't just lose the election.
01:04:26He'll lose everything.
01:04:28You're twisting the truth.
01:04:30It's whatever people will believe.
01:04:32He's already losing support, and his family backing is next.
01:04:36Do you really want to watch him lose everything?
01:04:41You're dead weight, Xavier.
01:04:43And we both know it.
01:04:45My family can lift him up.
01:04:47Yours will only drag him down.
01:04:49Alex, you're the best thing that's ever happened to me.
01:04:53I won't be the reason your life falls apart.
01:04:56So, you get a sign?
01:05:01You better keep your promise.
01:05:03Browns don't lie.
01:05:14Did you forget our agreement?
01:05:24If you want me out of the election, fine.
01:05:26But in return, you cut off Xavier and introduced me as your fiancé.
01:05:34If not, I will email every voter proof that your relationship was fake the entire time.
01:05:43You'll lose everything.
01:05:46Get out.
01:05:50Love her legacy, Alex.
01:06:02Xavier.
01:06:23Alex, Alex, Alex, Alex, Alex, Alex, Alex, Alex, Alex, Alex, Alex, Alex, Alex, Alex.
01:06:32I'm Alex Watson, and today, I stand here as...
01:06:45Oh my God.
01:06:46Oh my God.
01:06:49Xavier Miller and I, we're in a fake relationship.
01:06:53Are we serious?
01:06:54We signed a contract.
01:06:56What a fake!
01:06:57Do Mike to all of us!
01:07:03It started as fake, but then it got real.
01:07:10I've never met anyone like Xavier before.
01:07:13You okay?
01:07:19Yeah, I'm fine.
01:07:23Not even a thank you?
01:07:26At least tell me your name.
01:07:29It's not important.
01:07:33And I thought he was just some arrogant genius who didn't have time for me.
01:07:42Didn't have time for me.
01:07:44It was a stupid onstage accident.
01:07:46That kiss.
01:08:06Xavier, I know you're watching.
01:08:08So listen.
01:08:11Fuck the election, fuck family expectations, and fuck football.
01:08:15None of them matters, Xavier, because all I ever wanted is to be with you.
01:08:24The votes are in.
01:08:26The new student body president is...
01:08:29Alex Watson!
01:08:33Come on up and give your speech.
01:08:39Uh...
01:08:40Where is it?
01:08:43You idiot.
01:08:56What are you doing here?
01:08:58You just won.
01:08:59Ah, screw the election.
01:09:01It's you that I won.
01:09:03But you said winning is everything.
01:09:05Not if it means losing you.
01:09:08Over and over again.
01:09:12Grocery aisle, hand in hand.
01:09:16Over and over again.
01:09:18You're such a reckless idiot.
01:09:20But that was kind of sweet.
01:09:28Just need you.
01:09:36Winning you beats any election.
01:09:40All right.
01:09:42Now that line is a solid 10.
01:09:50What's with all the construction?
01:09:51They're building something?
01:09:53Close.
01:09:55Private make-out spot.
01:09:57Residential access only.
01:10:01You're president now.
01:10:02Try acting like it.
01:10:04Hey, I'm just keeping my campaign promises.
01:10:11You remembered.
01:10:12Of course.
01:10:16All right.
01:10:17Let's begin.
01:10:18The football kit budget was inflated 230%.
01:10:22Money that could have paid for students' transport who were working late.
01:10:26That's the first time someone called me out for real.
01:10:28And it stuck.
01:10:29Already testing out the new spot?
01:10:31Bold.
01:10:36Already testing out the new spot?
01:10:38Bold.
01:10:39What now?
01:10:40Relax.
01:10:41Just here to say goodbye.
01:10:42Goodbye?
01:10:43Turns out her dads finally saw reason.
01:10:46Engagement's officially canceled.
01:10:47You're free, Alex.
01:10:49Just like that?
01:10:51Not even worth fighting for?
01:10:52Can you let her finish?
01:10:54Truth is, I didn't want to marry you either.
01:10:56Then why come between us?
01:10:58I just needed to prove myself to my parents, to everyone.
01:11:05And the way you stood by each other, honestly, I envied that.
01:11:11And the Princeton thing is still on, Xavier.
01:11:14You earned it.
01:11:16Thanks, Laura.
01:11:18Thanks, Laura.
01:11:18Uh, I'm off to Paris.
01:11:20New family business venture.
01:11:22Maybe I'll see y'all again sometime.
01:11:24Maybe so.
01:11:34You think she'll be okay?
01:11:37She's tougher than the both of us combined.
01:11:39She'll be fine.
01:11:44Still haven't mastered walking, eh?
01:11:46Only around you.
01:11:47All I meant to do
01:11:50Oh, guess I'm right next to you
01:11:51Oh, guess I'm right next to you
