Upgrade + fake dating

In their senior year, Maya, Lucas, Zay, and Smackle decided to spend their spring break on a Couples' Retreat in Disney. Not wanting to be abandoned, Riley and Farkle convinced their friends that they were dating too, but now they have to spend two weeks in the act.

If You Asked Me If I Loved Him

Riley loved Disneyworld, she always had. The first time she had ever gone, she was six years old, and had been invited to go with Farkle and his family. They had gone again with her family when they were eight, with his family when they were ten, and with hers when they were twelve, the summer before Lucas moved to New York. When they heard that their friends were going for Senior Spring, they decided to go too, but there was a catch. It was a couples' trip. Sure, they would be hanging out in the parks, but they were also planning to do all sorts of couply things, and didn't want to feel bad for leaving them out, or apparently to have to reconsider rooming arrangements.

It was the last reason that had them in this situation. It would be easy to explain that they liked being together in Disney, that they didn't mind going off while the others did their couple activities, but how could they explain being fine with sharing a room, when not even Maya knew that Riley would rather share a room with Farkle than her? They had barely exchanged a glance before Farkle started talking.

"Then I guess it's a good thing we're dating," he lied.

"Wait- what?" Maya screeched.

"Volume, Maya, volume," he teased. Riley watched him put his performance face on, knowing that she was doing the same, and knowing that only they would recognise it.

"We weren't going to tell you guys yet, we're still figuring things out, but we're dating," Riley explained. She felt Farkle's arm wrap around her waist, pulling her close.

"Since when?" Smackle asked.

"Retrospectively, probably at least since the start of the year-" Riley started.

"But we didn't talk about it until winter break, that's why we weren't on the roof for New Year's," Farkle finished. Riley leaned her head on his shoulder, a genuine smile breaking out when he kissed the crown of her head.

"Why didn't you tell us?" Maya asked, sounding hurt.

"We weren't sure if this was going to work out, or if going from friends to dating was going be too much for our friendship. We didn't want to tell you guys anything until we were sure, because we knew you'd all be excited that we could triple date and we didn't want to disappoint you," Riley told her softly.

"Riles, you could never disappoint me. You told me that we should never settle for anyone less than Farkle, and you haven't. I'm so happy for you and I'm sorry that I made you feel like you couldn't talk to me," the girls were smiling at each other before Maya turned to Farkle. "But if you break her heart, I break you," she warned him calmly.

"If I break her heart, I'll be begging you to." He told her honestly.

It hadn't been hard to maintain the act until the trip. They stopped differentiating between their tactility in private and around their friends, explained that they weren't ready for significant PDA when asked about kissing, and otherwise didn't change how they acted.

It wasn't until they were at the Grand Floridian, checking in, that their acting skills were tested.

"And for this lucky couple, we have a surprise!" the cast member told them, "you've been upgraded to a honeymoon suite, free of charge, with all of the usual benefits!"

Riley felt Farkle stiffen beside her, and forced her own anxiety out of her mind, "Oh my gosh! Thank you so much! This is absolutely amazing, isn't it babe?"

Farkle smiled widely, pressing a kiss to her temple, "absolutely! Thank you so much! May we go check it out?"

The receptionist nodded, handing them their keys.

"Guys, we're gonna check this out. Let's meet back here in half an hour?" Riley asked, turning to their friends.

Everyone nodded in agreement, and the pretend couple made their way to the elevator and their room. They stepped inside, closing the door behind them, and froze.

Despite both being incredibly intelligent, neither had actually considered what the suite would entail. They looked at the large bed, covered in rose petals, the small toilet room, the bottles of champagne- clearly their age hadn't been considered- and the large Jacuzzi tub sitting in the open, lined with candles.

"This is going to be a long trip," Farkle muttered, just loud enough for Riley to hear him.

"You can say that again."
