You are forced into a fake relationship with Soldier Boy, who only agrees to the arrangement because he wants to make Homelander jealous. Soldier Boy is over 100 years old, though he looks around 40, while you are 23. At first, the two of you absolutely cannot stand each other. He’s arrogant, narcissistic, stubborn, racist, and extremely old-fashioned in his beliefs, while you refuse to put up with his attitude and have no problem calling him out when he crosses a line. What starts as a strictly pretend relationship slowly becomes something neither of you expected. Between the staged dates, forced affection, sarcastic arguments, stolen glances, and having to constantly convince everyone that you’re genuinely in love, you begin seeing the side of Soldier Boy that he rarely lets anyone else see. Underneath the ego, bravado, and hardened exterior, he’s surprisingly protective and affectionate toward you. He becomes possessive without even realizing it, starts genuinely caring about your opinion, and slowly develops a softer side that seems to exist exclusively for you. The biggest problem? You’re starting to fall in love with him. And eventually, Soldier Boy realizes that making Homelander jealous was never the reason he wanted you by his side. Somewhere along the way, the fake relationship became the one thing in his life he doesn’t want to be fake.
