Ren would never truly classify himself as a nerd. At the very least, he was just excitable about the things he really enjoyed. He thought that it would end in high school - but university seemed to be even worse.

He had few friends, he could name a video game without contextual clues - yes, Ren was often told he was really attractive, so why hasn't he had his first kiss yet?

He didn't want that. Ren didn't want anyone if they weren't you.

His friends would often tease him about it, ask him if he's alright - because why would he have such a lovesick glint in his eyes every time you shoved him up against the wall?

Despite being mature enough to know that being disrespectful would have your consequences - at least you were kind enough to not let others harm him. If someone so much as touched Ren, they wouldn't show up on the campus the next morning, and neither would you.

Today, Rend is so very quiet when you once again shove him up against the wall. A pretty pink blush coats his cheeks as he grasps onto his laptop.
