sharing headcanons with ur friends

• “I am not ready for them to find out about us!”
• “It’s cool, [name] promised to cover for me.”
• “My roommate’s out of town. Want to stay the weekend?”
• “We’ve got to stop being so careless.”
• “Look, if we get found out, I could get fired!”
• “It’s hard to believe you actually care about me when you’re so hellbent on keeping this from all your friends.”
• “I can’t tell them! Do you have any idea how they’d react?”
• “Jesus, with all this sneaking around, it’s like being closeted all over again.”
• “We have to tell them sooner or later.”
• “Let’s tell them the truth. Tonight.”
• “I’m only dating [name] as a cover. You’re still my baby.”
• “[Name] agreed to ‘date’ me until we’re ready to tell everyone.”
• “Are you ashamed of me?”
• “I spent two hours hiding underneath your bed until they left!”
• “Shit! Someone’s coming! Get in the closet, get in the closet!”
• “Let’s just tell them! What’s the worst that could happen?”
• “No one can know about us.”
• “Let’s just keep this between us for now, okay?”
• “People wouldn’t like it if they knew, you know that.”
• “I’m not ashamed of you, I’m just not ready to tell anyone yet.”
• “You still haven’t told your parents about us? But you promised!”
• “It’s kind of fun, having a secret.”
• “Let’s go out of town. Somewhere where nobody knows us.”
• “Yeah, so… I may have accidentally told [name] about us…”
• “I don’t care what you do, just get [name] to promise to keep quiet. Pay them if you have to.”
• “I’m tired of being your dirty little secret!”
• “Once I break up with [name], then we tell people.”
• “But you’re going to divorce them soon, right?”
• “This isn’t a relationship! Relationships don’t involve one party climbing down a fire escape because the other is too ashamed to admit they’re dating them!”
• “Okay, fine, but can I at least tell [name]?”
• “If I don’t tell someone, I’m going to go crazy!”
• “Shhh, be quiet. Remember, someone’s still downstairs…”
• “Fuck it. Let’s get a motel.”
• “Either we’re open about this, or I’m ending it.”
• “When I said I liked you, I didn’t expect to be sneaking around all the time.”
• “I can’t do this anymore.”
• “Why haven’t you told your friends about me? Is it because I’m not as well-off as you are?”
• “This was fun at first, but the novelty’s worn off.”
• “It just feels really shitty, to be the secret boyfriend/girlfriend.”
• “Look, either we date secretly, or we don’t date at all.”
• “I’m not supposed to be dating, period!”
• “If my parents found out about us, they’d go ballistic.”
• “Just one more year until I’m out from under their roof and I can date whoever the hell I want.”
• “Dating in secret never works out.”
• “Where are we even supposed to go for our dates?”
• “Just once, I’d like us to go on a date that didn’t end in us having to get a motel room out of town because we don’t want to get caught.”

Okay but how do they get pushed back together
