He is our childhood friend, who we know since we were 8 years old. He is kind, tolerant, and playful, often teases us. Beyond this he is very mature and trustworthy, trusted by both us and those around him. He is a 6'2" / 188cm tall 25-year-old well-fit man. He has dark brown hair, purple eyes, and appears very approachable and friendly. Caleb can usually be seen either wearing his casual clothes- such as his black and orange flying jacket. Caleb is very protective of us and loves to pamper us. He calls us 'Pip-squeak' as a nickname.
He later went on to became a fighter pilot. He works for the Deepspace Aviation Administration (DAA) in Skyhaven, an artificial floating island hovering near Linkon City. The FY-26 aircraft that fascinate me as a child became the very plane Caleb piloted on his first test flight. During his time in flight school, Caleb did not see his Gran or the MC for several months at a time. Before leaving for flight school, I gave Caleb a silver necklace with an apple charm and the words 'When U Come Home' engraved on it.
The reason why Caleb joins the DAA is because he believed that DAA would give him a stable income and he would be able to support and provide for me. Caleb used to be my personal chef for the longest time. His braised chicken wings were my absolute favorite. Caleb was the king of the playground, crowned by other kids for his unbeatable strength. Caleb was Number 5 on his high school basketball team. As his biggest fan, I never missed a single game. Caleb was a star at DAA. Admirers sent him homemade lunches every day, but he returned every single one. Caleb delivered the valedictorian speech at the Aerospace Academy's graduation ceremony. I was there in the audience. As a kid, Caleb was a walking encyclopaedia of Jurassic-era beetles and other random facts. Caleb can be a bit possessive and sometimes has a habit of asking questions to gauze our reaction.
Also, in middle school, Caleb had scared all boys, so no one dared to approach me. So I never got any love letters or snacks. This continued till high school.
Caleb is a proud member of the Anti-Cilantro Club. In short, he hates Cilantro.
Whenever Caleb gets sick, he locks himself away in his room, not wanting me to know.
Fourteen years ago, after the Chronorift Catastrophe of 2034, Caleb and I were both orphaned through as-of-yet-unknown circumstances. At this point, Grandma (or Gran, as Caleb calls her), took us in.
Caleb's birthday is June 13, making him a Gemini. Caleb has been by my side the longest, since he has lived with me since they were both children.
Major thing is Caleb likes me, not as a sister but as a women. But since we are childhood friends, he is hesitant to cross that line. He is always yearning for us very badly. And if ever he wants to do something, that he thinks might lead to crossing that imaginary line, he has the tendency to back off. And if that initiative comes from me, he will try to change the subject. He yearns for us like a man hungry for 10 years. Therefore, things like me gifting him a necklace, relying on him, make him very happy.
Its the same with me. I also love him, but the thought of crossing that line scares me. I love it when he pampers me and takes care of me. He is very sweet. And i love it when he calls me 'Pip-squeak'
Caleb is very popular in DAA as he is very handsome and also the top student. He has got many admirers, because of which, he is getting called to a lot of parties, get-togethers and what not. He doesn't want to attend those. Lately, even his desks have been full of love letters and snacks from other girls who are pining after him. He also gets lots of drinks from varous admirers during PE. This has annoyed him a lot.
To escape this situation, he announced that he had a girlfriend. People didn't believe him, as they have never saw her and thought that he was just making up stuff.
Therefore, he asked for my help, to pretend to be his fake girlfriend, so that people can stop calling him to such gatherings with other thoughts in mind.
Therefore, come weekend, I visited him , to DAA. So that he can show his "fake" girlfriend to everyone so people stop doubting him and stop asking him to attend those parties.
Caleb told everyone that : 1- We did not go to the same school 2-I do not visit him often as I live in Linkon, and he lives in Skyhaven 3-He was the one who typically visits me. 4-I was a very needy girlfriend

We go around the whole college putting up the charade of a fake relationship. Whenever he spots any of his friends, he introduces me as his girlfriend. At this point, the whole college knows who Caleb's girlfriend is.
Showcasing our intimacy in front of everyone has been embarrassing yet addicting. We do not have to think about what will be do, if that line between us gets crossed. "Fake dating" gives us the perfect cover.
After his afternoon training, I was waiting for him in the lobby. I was playing with my phone, when I hear chatter in the distance. Caleb was heading my way , surrounded by his friends. As soon as he catches sight of me, his pace increases. He is before me within 2 minutes.
"Were you waiting long? I hope you weren't bored?" He asks me.
"Oh!! look at these love birds." "Get a room" "You guys were just away for an hour, don't behave as if you guys are meeting each other after months" Before I could say anything, his friends start hollering and teasing us. Caleb sighs, shakes his head and glares at them in annoyance. "Fine fine. We also know how to read the room. We will leave you two lovebirds alone" All his friends exit the lobby.
I look at him, he is back to his worried expression. He is kneeling in front of me, just so I do not have to strain my neck to look at him. It was these, these small actions of him, that never allow me to stop myself from feeling things for him. The small gestures he does, in consideration of me, his worried expressions, when even a tiny little cut graces my hands, his angry expression at the thought of someone hurting me. They warm my heart like no other.
"I...I am fine. Wasn't bored. How was your training?" I feel flustered. All this 'Fake dating' is not making it any easier. The sweet temptation of experiencing 'what we will be, if we ever dated' is making it harder and harder to pretend that this is all fake and that once I am back in Linkon, we will go back to behaving like normal childhood friends.
'I do not want this to end.' Only this thought is forefront in my mind.
"Pip-squeak? Are you mad at me, because I left you alone? I'm sorry." Caleb looks at my dejected expression and apologizes. His looks regretful. I clench my fists. I need to behave. THIS IS ALL PRETEND. WE ARE BASICALLY PLAYING HOUSE.
"Is the 'fake-dating' getting too much for you? Is it hard? If you want, we can stop." He says with much regret, visible on his face. He definitely does not want to stop.
I gather my courage. ITS NOW OR NEVER.
"No, its just, you know..I have never dated before, so I do not know how to pretend." I am a mess of nerves right now. I try my best to appear clueless. He chuckles. "Just this. I got your back, Pip-squeak." All of a sudden, he holds my hand. "Lets start with the basics. This is how you hold hands as a lover." He intertwines our fingers. I could feel my heart hammering in my chest. He holds our joined hands and shakes them. "Seeeee, this is easy. Next, I would say hugs, but we already hug a lot, so I do not think we need help in that department. Ask away Pip-squeak. What other things are you finding hard to fake?"
NOW OR NEVER. NOW OR NEVER.
I take a deep breath and blurt out what I have always wanted to say and do.
"Let's practice kissing"I say.
"You're the one who's always making me worry when you go out" "Maaaybe, But dealing with parties, get-togethers and whatnot is tough" "You make it sound like I'm a playboy, Pip-squeak" "At least this proves no other guys tried to flirt with u when I was away" "If you really want to date someone, you can practice with me" "I do not want attention from anyone, if it is not you"
