Insufferable (Ratio x Reader)

Warnings: Just some angst, needles mentioned, injury

Sitting in your room enjoying a quiet, lazy afternoon, drifting off in your own little world. Your peaceful bubble was abruptly popped as the door burst open. It was your roommate, Veritas Ratio, holding a book with a dirty scratched cover, his face covered in annoyance.

"This is your doing!" He flailed his arms around, waving the book. "Careless and inconsiderate, as always!"

A stinging silence plagued the room, heavy with the weight of words left unsaid.

"You are always fucking around while I invest my time in my intellectual studies!" Ratio continued, his tone was anything but nice . "It's clear you do not value any knowledge the way I do, you LITERAL imbecile."

"Imbecile!?" You scoff and glare at him. "Seriously? You're going to INSULT me?"

"Your ignorance is astounding," Ratio retorted, his disdain clear in his expression. His attitude was unrepentantly condescending, as usual.

"How could you deny the truth when the evidence is right in front of you?" The man demanded, his eyes glinting with determination. "Why are you still feigning innocence when the damage is visible to the naked eye?"

He waved the book again, as if the blemish was proof of guilt. To him, the evidence was undeniable.

"Ratio I didn't touch your stupid book..." You sigh as you fold your arms.

"Then pray tell me, who was it?" Ratio's tone was mocking, as if he already knew the answer but wanted to hear it from you anyway. He looked down at you with contempt and superiority, his golden eyes piercing through you.

"Come on now," he cajoled, "Spit it out, who was it. Surely you must know what happened to my book, right?" His attitude was condescending, implying that your intellect was too inferior to understand the situation.

"I don't know, maybe you dropped it?" You hum as you twirl a piece of your hair in between your fingers.

Your comment only seemed to add fuel to his fire. Ratio's expression darkened, his eyes narrowing to slits as he glared at you.

"Do not play coy with me," he barked, his tone dripping with annoyance. "I am well aware of your...habits. You are careless and clumsy, constantly making a mess of things. You think that I would not recognise your doing?" He waved the book again, his hand moving with a hint of aggression.

"Look, I didn't touch your book. So if it wasn't me, it had to be you." You step towards him with an annoyed look.

Ratio let out a scoff, clearly not wanting to admit that he could've dropped the book himself. His eyes gleamed with irritation as he spoke.

"Please, spare me from your feeble attempts at logic," Ratio spat. His voice was laced with disdain, as if the notion was an enormous insult to his intelligence. "The evidence lies before you, the fact that you refuse to acknowledge it is proof of your ignorance." He held up the book once more, flaunting the scratch on the cover, his jaw clenched.

"...Ratio I'm not in the mood to deal with this. I had a hard day at work." You groan and try to close the door in his face.

Ratio immediately placed a foot in the doorway, not allowing it to close. His expression was a mix of annoyance and defiance, refusing to back down from this petty squabble.

"You expect me to believe your trivial work is enough to exhaust you?" Ratio scoffed, his tone laced with disdain. "You clearly do not care enough about knowledge if you let mere labour deplete your energy." He pushed against the door, his stance firm and unmoving.
