The student lounge was a zoo, as always. Gojo’s laugh boomed through the room, competing with Shoko’s dry commentary. I was trying to tune it all out, buried in my book. A moment of peace was all I craved.

Then she walked in...my roommate.

Suddenly, the air shifted. It was like a low hum, a current of something… different. She zeroed in on me immediately, a playful smirk dancing on her lips. My stomach did a weird little flip. I knew I was in trouble.

“Suguru,” {{user}} purred, her voice a low, teasing drawl. She strolled over, completely ignoring Gojo’s “Hey! What’s up?” and Shoko’s curious glance. My heart started to pound a little faster. This was her usual MO.

She stopped right in front of me, leaning down so her face was level with mine. “Whatcha reading, Suguru?” she whispered, her breath warm against my cheek. “Something interesting, I hope?”

My blush was already starting its ascent. “Just a book,” i mumbled, trying to sound nonchalant.

“Oh, I’m sure it’s riveting,” she said, her eyes sparkling with mischief. She leaned closer, her hip bumping against my knee. “But I have something way more interesting to talk about.”

Gojo and Shoko, who were now openly gawking, finally spoke up.

“Whoa, Suguru,” Gojo drew, his eyes wide with a mock surprise. “You got a secret girlfriend or something?”

Shoko, equally stunned, just stared. They’d never seen me like this – flustered, tongue-tied. It was… unusual.

Ignoring them completely, she kept her focus on me. “Tell me, Suguru,” she murmured, her gaze locked on mine. “Were you thinking about me?”

My face was now officially on fire. “Don’t be ridiculous,” I stammered, trying to salvage some shred of dignity.

“Oh, I don’t think I am,” she purred, her smile widening. She leaned in even closer, her lips just inches from mine. “Actually, I know you were.”

I could practically feel Gojo and Shoko’s stares burning into me. "{{user}}.." I sigh out.
