Dan sighed at his only hope as he limped home. But the image of the mysterious man's face stayed with him. It even made a cameo appearance in his dream, of a pale face and pale eyes like Edward Cullen, sparkly too.

Dan was in the browsing position on Tumblr, scrolling mindlessly and reblogging anything aesthetically pleasing or Kanye-related. Until he came across an advert. He stopped, moving his head closer if possible to the screen to read it.
Sick of snarky family comments on Christmas?
Yes.
Fine on your own but they keep bugging you otherwise?
Yes...
Need someone to stay by your side and be there when you get plummeted with questions about marriage?
Y E S
RENT A SIGNIFICANT OTHER! Now at a limited price, we provide the service you need to avoid those awkward family conversations! Rent one now!
Dan shifted uncomfortable in his seat, biting his lip. He thought to himself. Was this really necessary? His own loved ones merely mocking him out of love just over a relationship? Just being playful and fun?
Yes. It was. It was very necessary. Dan thought about it again. In a way it was like a prostitute but without the sex. But wait...was he really about to do this?
Yes.
It felt weird, buying a person. Filling out this form for buying them. Well, renting. It made him feel uneasy. But once the charges had been made, the deal was for them to exchange numbers to create some sort of bond or friendship first.
This was weird.
Almost instantly Dan received a text making him jump. He peered down at his phone, glancing at the screen.
Unknown number
Hello! Rent a significant other here, my names Phil! Seems as though I've matched all your requirements for what you're looking for!
Dan started panicking, looking around frantically before finding a small stuffed lion toy, squeezing it to let out his nerves. He anxiously typed away a reply after assigning him to a contact.
Hello. I'm Dan, nice to meet you.
Dan cringed after pressing send. Why did he always have to be so awkward?
His phone rang as another text came back.
From: Phil
I'm guessing you're not use to this haha :p Well you're my first client so me neither. I guess we are supposed to be some sort of friends (if you want of course) before I go around pretending to be your boyfriend?
Dan calmed down a bit more, clumsily replying again.
I'de rather be friends first so yeah. This is weird.
From: Phil
Just pretend its you making an internet friend! That's basically what it is!
Dan sighed of relief. This person seemed relatively normal. Over the next few weeks they began to talk, getting to know each other just like normal internet friends. They hadn't skyped yet but planned to do so soon. It was weird, he always had a weird jittery feeling whenever Phil texted him and he felt a excited feeling in his stomach.
And he didn't even know what Phil looked like yet. Not that he cared as long as he was over 18 and under atleast 35. And male.
Christmas was coming up very quickly so he needed to know so they had planned to skype one another later that evening. Phil only lived a few hours away but he wasn't going to risk anything.
