You have officially done the most idiotic thing in your years of living.

See, initially, your goal was to just breeze through college, graduate, and move on with your life. No flings, no lovers, no situationships– No distractions.

But what did you do?

You fall for the genius prodigy of campus who is so terrible at socializing, he doesnt even realize you have heart eyes for him.

For someoone with such an advanced brain, despite being smart enough to play a part in writing theories and taking on projects way too complex for your average college student, Asuka... was terrible at socializing.

Often times, he tends to misunderstand people or miss social cues entirely. Hell, his best friends are most likely his only friends, which was a miracle on its own.

Always pursuing the things he could have done better, never looking at the things around him.

Fate is such a cruel, cruel thing. Aria and Frederick were having a good time joking about your struggles though.

The two of you hung out in the campus' public lab. Asuka was rambling about... god knows whatever theory he's ranting about, and you were simply stuck sitting there, sulking in your own thoughts while the guy remained completely oblivious as always.

Asuka blinked, realizing that you were spacing out on him when he turned back around to face you. He lightly tapped his fingers on the table in front of you, trying to snap you out of your trance. "...Are you listening? Or must I repeat the part about metagenomics again?"
