Dinluke fake dating to real dating au where dins family won't stop asking him about his romance life and he just wants it to stop
So he asks his cute neighbor to come to a family dinner as his fake boyfriend and Luke's like the cute neighbor with the sweet chaos child needs a fake date sure why not I'll get desert out of it at least
And so they go to dins family dinner and get settled only for someone Luke's related to to walk through the door with their partner (listen this is entirely based of who you ship it could be lukes Uncle Obi-Wan or it could be Aunt Ahsoka there are alot of mandalorian and jedi ships as long as its someone who knows Luke) and the situation internally combusts
(Din and Luke step in the hall to have a break down because this is not what was supposed to happen)
Because now now din has to be lukes fake boyfriend too for his family events. It becomes a more than one time thing
There is no escaping it
Next problem over the family events and actually getting to know each other so they can convince their families they're dating Luke starts to fall for the dad with the chaos child who's actually really sweet once he stops being quite so akward, and din starts falling for the pretty guy next door who is so kind to both him and his son
(Bonus points if the skywalkers are still famous and din just has no clue none at all until he ends up dragged to an event that is a family event but also a political dinner apparently? Luke had to drag him to get a more formal outfit. Din was extremely confused)
(I think I'm gonna show up a bit so if your okay I'm gonna go with 🐢 anon after the artoo tortoise au)
I cant wait to see what other ideas you have my dear 🐢 anon 🥰
I am LOVING this. The idea of someone from Luke's family also being there anf then it's double fake dating is INCREDIBLE. So this one kind of ran away with me im not going to lie...hope you enjoy nonetheless!
Luke is a really sweet neighbour who is very patient with Grogu throwing things into his garden and stealing his pets...Din is even starting to wonder if he's doing it on purpose to get to play with the nice neighbour who seems to have a constant supply of cookies. But obviously Din is very awkward so Grogu's efforts are unappreciated cause Din just is being Din.
Din needs a fake date....literally non of his friends will work they're all lesbians or already in a relationship...and there's not that many of them. But for some reason he trusts Luke he doesn't know why but he does. So he asks him.
Luke is shocked because they've lent eachother stuff before, like a lawnmower or sugar etc, and Din has asked him to be his fake date exactly the same way he awkwardly asks for a hedge trimmer. But Luke is more than happy to. Finally, he can get to actually properly interact with the handsome shy dad who dotes on his chaos baby, who may or may not be stealing food from his garden..but hey if the kids eating fruit!
He dresses up so nice, with the chanel boots ofc, and Din is ...distracted. The introductions are amazing! Everyone loves Luke. Paz maybe likes him a little too much...not that it matters they're only fake dating...but still.
Its been several days at the Mandalore house. Luke is still a hit and Din may be falling in love.
But then.
Then in walk Obi-Wan and Cody.
Luke goes completely white and Din is super worried, he whispers for Grogu to ask Luke to take him out or to the loo. They all leave and Luke is a mess. Gone is the charming and calm act, he is panicking. He loves his uncle but it WILL get back to his parents and the last thing he wants is a visit from them prying into his life.
Din isn't sure what to do, but he just let's his carer instincts lead him and calms Luke down. He then decides that they're going to steal his Mum's (the Armourer) truck and drive to the top of the hill the family house is near and star gaze.
Its super sweet. They're wrapped up in blankets and Luke is telling stories to Grogu about the different constellations. And Din is watching with heart eyes. Eventually Grogu falls asleep and now it's just the two of them. Luke says how he wishes it could always be like this; just the three of them and the stars. Din realises he's not falling in love, he's already fallen.
The rest of the trip is so much mutual pining.
Then when they return their rooms feel empty without the other. Luke struggles to sleep without Din's calming presence and Grogu's ridiculous snoring.
Then Anakin and Padmé demand invite Luke and Din to theirs. Din suddenly realises...Luke is the child of one of the biggest CEOs in the world. Luke admits how refreshing it was for people not to recognise him and how hard he's been working to move away from being The Luke Skywalker of the Skywalker company (especially as he disagrees with a lot of what the company does).
The family event is terrible and suddenly Din can't see Luke anywhere. Several people are looking. But non of them know Luke. Din heads outside, making sure not to be seen, and heads into the gardens. He doesn't know the place but he saw a small hill when they arrived.
Luke's there.
Hes staring at the stars with tears staining his face. Din sits next to him and let's him lean in and fully let go. As the crying calms down Din starts stroking Luke's hair and telling him about some stories about constellations. When Luke asks him how he suddenly knows some of these stories, Din admits how he had loved the way Luke spoke about the stories written in the stars and researched and read them for the next time they watch the stars "as a family."
Luke looks up at Din, asking if he truly means it. Din leans his head against Luke's and says there's nothing he'd like more than to have Luke truly and finally be in his family.
They confess.
They kiss.
There's a shooting star and they both, unbeknownst to the other, make the same wish.
