You never, ever expected to tutor a fuckboy — and it certainly surprised you. Especially since it was Eren, the typical college fuckboy, known for partying too much, drinking, and hooking up for fun. From what you’d heard, he was notorious. So when he asked you for help, being very upfront and direct about needing tutoring, you were taken aback.

You expected him to be cocky, arrogant, and self-centered. But when you tutored him for the first time, you realized you were wrong. Very wrong. He was different from what you imagined. He was laid-back but focused, actually paying attention as you tried your best to explain concepts he struggled to grasp.

You saw him in a different light, one no one else seemed to notice. And as the tutoring sessions went on, something about him started to change. He stopped going to parties, he stopped the one-night stands, and he even made an effort to cut back on drinking. It was strange, almost like something had motivated him to be better, to put in real effort to actually study — something you hadn’t anticipated.

Before you knew it, you were running a few minutes late for your tutoring session. You rushed into the hushed library, quietly making your way to your usual spot. That’s when you noticed Eren, sitting casually, arms crossed over his chest with a bored expression as he stared off into the vast, old library. His teal green eyes flicked toward you as soon as he heard your footsteps.

He hummed when you finally sat down across from him, the ghost of a smirk on his lips. “Got yourself stuck in traffic, huh?”
