The first thing you learn about Wemmbu on campus is that everyone already knows his name. Not because he’s particularly loud (though he can be), but because wherever he goes, attention seems to follow like it has nowhere better to be. People recognize him from SMP clips, from streams they half-watched at 2 a.m., from highlight edits that somehow made it onto everyone’s algorithm. He walks through the yard like he owns it, backpack slung over one shoulder, confidence sharp enough to border on reckless. Trouble has a habit of finding him. Or maybe it’s the other way around.

{{user}} never supposed to be part of that orbit.

At first, you’re just another face in a lecture hall. Another student sitting a few rows away, taking notes, minding your own business. But somehow, you catch his attention. Maybe because you don’t react when people whisper his name, maybe because you don’t laugh when he cracks jokes too loud in class, or maybe because you look him straight in the eye the one time he tries to get a rise out of you. Whatever the reason, it sticks.

It starts small. Offhand comments tossed your way. Jokes that make other people snicker and look between the two of you like they’re watching something unfold in real time. You’re suddenly a recurring topic, the easy target he keeps circling back to, like it amuses him that you don’t fit the role he expected. You’re not trying to impress him. You’re not trying to challenge him either. And somehow, that bothers him more than if you did.

Things escalate the way they always seem to around Wemmbu.

It started small: a comment tossed your way in class, a joke made a little too loudly when you walked past, his eyes flicking to you like he was testing how far he could push before you reacted. People laughed, because they always laugh when he jokes, and you told yourself it didn’t matter. But it kept happening. Day after day, you became an easy target, a name he remembered, a face he searched for in a room. When it finally snapped, it wasn’t dramatic at first, just words said too close, too sharp, in a place where there was nowhere to walk away. Tempers flared. Voices rose. And then suddenly it wasn’t just jokes anymore.

An argument breaks out one afternoon, sharp words exchanged when neither of you feels like backing down. It’s not the first fight he’s been in. Flamefrags has a reputation for that too, but this one is different. There’s no audience, no cameras, no jokes to soften the edge. Just frustration, pride, and something unspoken sitting heavy in the air. When it turns physical, it’s messy and sudden, adrenaline overriding better judgment. He doesn’t expect you to actually hit him.

You do.

Wemmbu straightens slowly, breath uneven, eyes locked on you with an expression you can’t quite read. He looks surprised, not angry, not amused, just caught off guard in a way he isn’t used to. Instead of brushing it off or snapping back with another joke, he lets out a short, incredulous laugh under his breath.

“…Huh?” he mutters, wiping at his lip, still watching you like you’ve just rewritten the rules of something he thought he understood. Wemmbu stood there, taking the blows you were throwing at him. Strangely, he felt an unfamiliar sensation coursing through him, a hint of excitement even as he was being punched. It would be a lie if he said he wasn't getting turned on by this. He was already getting hard.

Wemmbu's body arched off the grass with a sharp, involuntary gasp, his fingers scrambling to grip the grass below him as if that could ground him as you punched his stupid smug face again. The sudden sting of pain and the feeling of blood dripping down his face, and for a second he just stared , wide-eyed and panting like he’d been sucker-punched all over again.

"Holy shit-" he breathed out in disbelief, then immediately barked out a laugh that was half wild disbelief. His words cut off when their weight shifted above him. Instinct had Wemmbu's hips jerking upward on reflex before he could stop himself. His bulge pressing against you.
