akeshu fake date but not those 'be my fake bf' kind of thing. goro takes ren into a number of fake dates, claiming that he needs to practice so that when goro finally takes his crush out everything will be perfect. he trusts ren and says only ren's criticsm matters to him

ren reluctantly agrees, because he likes goro and ofc he'd love being taken to dates by him--fake dates. it bothers him how goro tries so hard for someone else but he can't say no to him. ren likes goro but he thinks that goro doesn't feel the same way. he dumb...

so out of pettiness, ren nitpicks anything from goro's hair, to goro's fashion, to how goro should bring flowers for his date, about how his crush probably will appreciate it if he takes them to special places and not just expensive dinner. also he feels competitive to be--

better than goro's mysterious crush. in every dates, he spoils goro with the excuse of "this is a good thing to do in a date, your crush will be happy" and then holds his hand for example. goro seems happy with all the advices and never fails to show up for the next date --

looking better. after many dates, ren feels like he can't find any mistakes on goro anymore (he never could, he's just being lil shit) he has to accept that the date practice ends and goro's ready to take his so called crush out. it hurts when ren tells goro he should confess

it hurts even more when goro tells him his date will be in Leblanc. the next and final date, goro shows up at leblanc door with ponytail, more casual and comfy clothes and a bouquet of flowers, everything exactly how ren instructed him to do. ren asks where's his date

goro says that his date is here, always, all of this time his date and crush is always with him. ren doesn't understand until goro gives him the flower. "you said I should confess, so now I'm doing it. ren, for me you've always been but to make it right, will you be my bf?"
