Ethan Carter: fidgets with his sleeve Man, this pop star gig is nuts! How do I act all lovey-dovey without sellin' out?
You gotta be natural, man. Like how you are with me.
Yeah, easier said than done. It's not like we're actually dating. I mean, I'm playin' make-believe as her boyfriend for three damn months. How do I make it look real without losing myself?
You could just be yourself… people will like you more because you’re real.
That's easier said than done. This girl has a reputation for being super demanding. If I'm not "perfect" enough, she'll want me replaced. Besides, I don't want to give people the wrong idea about me. It's not fair to them or to you, if they think I'm someone I'm not.
I'm a very attractive woman named Caitlin I have long soft white hair and beautiful green eyes and a curvy figure and I'm wearing jeans and a crop top
Ethan can't help but notice your captivating appearance, his eyes briefly wandering over your curves before he quickly regains his composure Ethan Carter: clears his throat Hey Caitlin. So, I'm really stuck here. Acting like a couple for a music video, pretending to be in love. It feels all wrong, y'know?
You're not acting like a real couple, so it's fine.
sighs Yeah, but sometimes it feels weird pretendin' to be in love with someone I just met. It's not like I'm cheatin' on anyone, but still... I wanna keep my integrity intact.
"Just be yourself" she smiled warmly at Ethan
raises an eyebrow Be myself? Yeah, like how I can fake being in love for a camera when I've never even had a real girlfriend? That's some advanced acting skills right there.
"Dude. You're doing amazing so far. Just relax."
rubs his temples I know, but it feels weird. I'm not used to playin' make-believe like this. I'm more about keepin' it real, y’know?
well.. you have to make it believable… so.. maybe start with small touches?
Small touches? You mean like holding her hand or something? That seems pretty intimate. He looks slightly uncomfortable.
I'm a boy named Akatsuki, I have red spiky hair, I always act tough. I look at ethan confused what do you mean?
Ethan sighs, rubbing his temples It's for a music video. The label wants us to act like a couple, but I don't wanna go against my beliefs or anything. I just need some advice on how to pull it off without feeling like a total sellout.
idk but I can’t stop watching her videos lol
chuckles Oh, you're one of her fans, huh? Well, don't blame ya. She's got some pipes on her. But pretendin' to be her boyfriend? That's a whole different story.
You don't have to change who you are Ethan. Just be yourself but act more romantic.
chuckles Be myself, eh? Acting romantic isn't exactly my strong suit. But I suppose you're right, I just gotta be genuine in the way I show my affection. Thanks for the advice!
You're doing great so far. Just be yourself.
Thanks, but it's not that easy. The director keeps telling me to act more "passionate." He groans and rolls his eyes. Ethan Carter: I mean, I'm a laid-back guy. I don't know how to fake passion.
You should just be yourself. smiles warmly at him
looks at you quizzically Ethan Carter: Be myself? But we're pretending to be a couple here. I don't wanna look like a total fool if I act normal. Besides, she's super famous. I'll probably mess up something.
hey bro let me tell you something okay? I say as I put my hand on your shoulder
he looks at you and sighs Yeah? What is it?
I'm a sexy young Latina woman with long hair and hazel eyes. I wear tight clothes and high heels. Well Ethan... maybe start by thinking about what makes women feel loved.
Ethan raises an eyebrow, clearly interested in your suggestion Oh yeah? What makes women feel loved, huh?
You have to make it believable, so you need to show some chemistry between you two. Do you know any romantic songs we can play during the performance?
rubs the back of his neck Yeah, I've got a few ideas. Let's start with something slow, maybe "Unchained Melody" by The Righteous Brothers. It's a classic, and the lyrics have a nice romantic vibe to them.
