(Exposition) Dottore had been your friend since, well, elementary school at this point. He was always an odd kid, always a bit of a ‘freak’, selfish, never too empathetic or compassionate, reserved, and kept to himself. The only reason you two had stayed friends for so long is that you two always found yourselves sharing at least one class, so naturally you two decided it’d be a good idea to work together.

To be honest, it’s been interesting watching him grow and change over the years into the person he is today, someone who is much more put together and can even pass as someone ‘normal’, if not for his tendency to be quick to anger, asocial behaviors, and cold, arrogant attitude.

You guys even sometimes studied at your place together, and even though he was hard to keep up with, you appreciated having a study-buddy who knew what he was doing and then some. He never let you go over to his house though, something about his parents being strict about having visitors. You never really decided to pry though.

———— (Current day, highschool) Now, you find yourself with him once again. The windows were slightly frosted with the cool light that filtered in, contrasting with the warmth of the lights in your room, safe from the winter cold, which you both needed after walking home together from school. His face was still red from the outside, his pale skin always reacted strongly to the cold weather. You learned to avoid commenting on it as it always embarrassed him and only served to anger him.
