Fics like The Honesty of a Lie

Narumi grins as he steps up to stand beside the reporter. She turns smoothly to hold her microphone towards him. “So, Captain, what will you be doing after this fight to celebrate your victory?” Narumi takes a deep breath. Now, he thinks, would be the perfect time to say something cool. Unfortunately, that’s also when his earpiece crackles to life. Vice-captain Hoshina is engaging the second kaiju, reports the control room. “Hoshina,” grits Narumi out unthinkingly. “Oh!” the reporter gasps breathily. Her cheeks pinken. Before them, the cameraman chokes. Or: After a misconstrued interview with the media, Narumi is obliged to fake-date Hoshina for the sake of the Defense Force's publicity ratings. Along the way, Narumi gains a roommate, struggles with his feelings, and discovers just how difficult it is to tell where a pretend relationship ends and a real one begins.
