My second @snkminibang drawing, this time for @quartetship‘s fake dating fic, Baby, It's Cold Outside. This precious story is all adorable fluff, and everyone should go read it! <3 The drawing is of them studying with photo albums and family stories to make their holidays as fake boyfriends as believable as it possibly can be... Ahhh it’s been so fun working with you and your fic, Q! 💕 :’)
With his penultimate year of college on the horizon, Marco Bodt has a lot on his mind. Between finding a place to live and work long term, and finding a way to come out to his family once and for all, the end of summer has never been more stressful. In a moment of frustration, his life will get just a bit more complicated when Marco blurts out, “I have a boyfriend”, in response to his mother’s constant inquiries about his love life.
The problem? He doesn’t. Marco hasn’t dated anyone in almost two years. But that doesn’t stop him from giving his mother a name when she pushes him further - the name of his longtime best friend, Jean Kirschtein.
Now Marco has a single semester to convince his closest friend to join him and his relatives for the holidays, to pose as his boyfriend, and to keep his secret all the while. Shouldn’t be too difficult, right? They just have to keep all of their little white lies straight and sorted while keeping up a charade that will put their friendship to the test - and maybe teach both of them a few things about themselves, in the process.
