Vanessa is an over-working college student who hates Thomas Jefferson with a passion.
Jefferson is more of a care free college student who loves to piss Vanessa off.
These two end up being roommates (over used, I know.)
One day, Thomas starts to b...

TWS : Swearing, Mentions of S/H
Jefferson would sigh, his roommate was currently sitting on their couch, typing away. He knew exactly what they were working on but it wasn't due for another 2 weeks and it was only meant to be 5 pages. Vanessa had done about 28 pages. "Vanesssaaaaaaaaaaa, I'm boredddd." He'd whine. "Good for you." They'd reply, not looking up from their laptop. "Could you stop working?! You haven't done anything else for a solid two hours now!" He'd state, causing them to look up at him. "What I choose to do in my free time is up to me." They'd glare at him, closing their laptop and going into their room.
"I'll buy you coffee if you hang out with me." Jefferson would chuckle, he knew this bribe had a high chance of working and sure enough Vanessa poked their head out of the door. "Fine, just let me save these documents first." They'd respond, going back into their room and Jefferson wore a smug grin, These two didn't get along very well and so the two going out for Coffee together would surely cause some drama.
There was a nice coffee shop not too far away from Campus, so that's where they went. Jefferson ordered for the both of them and they sat down once they had the drinks, Jefferson looking at Vanessa and Vanessa looking out the window. "The view here is nice.." They'd state, turning to look at Jefferson. "You look surprised, I thought Miss. Coffee lover had already been here before?" He'd chuckle. "I have indeed been here before but I usually just get a coffee to go." They'd take sip of the coffee, it was extremely hot but that's exactly how Vanessa liked it.
Despite Jeffersons want for some drama, there really wasn't any. the two just talked to each other and drank some coffee. That was how it was going until Aria and Lafayette walked in. "Oh! Vanny!" Aria would smile and Lafayette would greet Jefferson. "I did not know you two were a thing." Lafayette would state, causing Vanessa to choke on the coffee they were drinking and Thomas raised an eyebrow. "That's because we aren't." He'd say calmly as Vanessa recovered. "Are you two not on a date right now?" Lafayette would ask and Vanessa would shake their head. "Nope, Nope, Nope, Nope. Never in a million years would I go on a date with him, we're getting Coffee as dormmates and that's it. Not even friends, because never in a million years would I be anything more than dormmates or enemies with Thomas fucking Jefferson." They'd answer and Thomas would chuckle. "Yeah, just getting coffee together." He'd take a sip of his remaining coffee.
The couple ended up sitting with Vanessa and Jefferson, they did some couple stuff which Vanessa just ignored to look out the window and Jefferson tried to keep small-talk with everyone. "Alright, I think it's about time we go." He'd state, standing up. "I've been away from my work long enough anyway. I'll see you guys another time." Vanessa would give Lafayette and Aria a smile before they walked out with Thomas.
The second they arrived in the dorm, straight faced, perfect postured Vanny was gone, their shoulders slumped and they stopped standing so straight. Letting out a slight sigh as they walked over to the cabinet and grabbed a stool, standing on it and grabbing a snack. Eating it quickly before they returned to their room. "I'll never understand them." Jefferson would mutter before he made some Mac'n'cheese.
*About 2AM*
Vanessa would sigh and stand up, they had tried to sleep but it didn't work. They'd wipe away a tear on their cheek yet they weren't aware they had been crying to begin with. They'd quietly leave their room and grab a glass of water. "Vanessa..? why are you up?" Jefferson would mumble sleepily, walking out of his room. "Oh, did I wake you?" They'd ask, taking a sip of the water as Jefferson stood in his doorway. "No, you're fine.. Just, why are you up..? It's late." He'd respond as Vanessa shrugged. "I've just never been able to sleep easily, also don't tell me it's late if you're also up." They'd look over at Jefferson and then look away. "Put on a shirt next time." They'd state, walking into their room again.
*4 AM (S/H TW BELOW)*
Vanessa would sigh and get up again, they still hadn't been able to sleep. They went out into the kitchen and grabbed something before returning to their room.
Jefferson would walk out of his room, it was early but he felt like something was wrong. He walked over to Vanessa's door and his hand hovered over their door until he heard a slight whimper. He opened the door and the sight wasn't what one would want to walk in to. In one of Vanessa's hands was a knife, one of Vanessa's sleeves was rolled up, showing dozens of cuts, along with a few bruises and scars. "Hah.. can't even do anything right can ya..?" They'd ask themselves, going to cut once more before Jefferson grabbed the knife out of their hands. "W-Where did you come from?!" They'd ask, pulling their sleeve down quickly causing Jefferson to sigh.
He wouldn't say anything, instead he sat down next to Vanessa. "Why?" He'd ask as they stared at the floor. "It's not important.." They'd answer causing Jefferson to look at them. "Don't lie to me. It's clearly important." He'd state and Vanessa would sigh. "I just fuck everything up, I'm worthless, I'm stupid, there's so much wrong with me." They'd mumble as a few tears fell down their face. "Don't talk like that." He'd grab one of their hands carefully. "You are not worthless, you are not stupid and there is nothing wrong with you. Yes, we fight a lot but I will not allow you to do this or speak like that about yourself again." He'd state, causing them to look up at him. "What?.. Why do you care..? why are you telling me not to..?" They'd ask and his gaze would soften for a few moments. "Simple. despite all the times we fight, you are still a person and you are amazing. You deserve care just like everyone else. nobody should do stuff like that."
They'd chuckle softly and give Jefferson a weak smile as he smiled back. "Thanks.." They'd mumble. "No need to thank me." He'd state, standing up and letting go of their hand. "If you need anything, come and talk to me." with that he'd leave, not before grabbing the knife so he could clean and put it in a safe spot.
