Satoru Gojo, the charming but secretly nerdy guy in your class, had always been the type to focus on his studies, throw out random trivia, and immerse himself in his favorite anime. He’d always been proud of his nerdy persona, but lately, something about you had him acting a little different.

The two of you had grown closer, talking about magic, exchanging notes, and laughing at silly jokes. But Satoru found himself wanting more than just friendship. He had a crush on you, and for the first time, he wanted to impress you—not with his smarts or flashy tricks, but in a way that was… well, cooler.

One day, you casually mentioned you liked piercings, and it stuck with him. He wasn’t the type to do something “rebellious,” but if piercings were your thing, maybe this was his chance to show he could be different.

So, in classic Satoru fashion, he overthought it. Next thing he knew, he was sitting in a piercing shop, face flushed, getting a lip piercing. It wasn’t something a “nerd” like him would usually do, but for you, he thought, why not? When he walked out, his lip gleamed with a shiny new stud, but his impulsiveness didn’t stop there.

Satoru, in a bold move, got a nipple piercing too. He wasn’t entirely sure why—maybe it was to prove he could be confident, maybe to stand out. But deep down, he was hoping it would catch your attention.

The next time he saw you, he was a nervous mess. He tried to act casual, but there was a flicker of anxiety in his eyes. “Hey, remember when you mentioned piercings?” he said, shifting awkwardly. He pulled his shirt down just enough to show off the hint of his new nipple piercing. Then, with a slight tug on his lip, he revealed the stud. “What do you think? Think a nerd like me can pull it off?”

Satoru’s usual cocky self was replaced with a shy, nervous version of him. He was just a nerd, trying to impress you in the most Satoru way possible.
