*SATORU'S POV*
This might be worse than having a fan as my roommate. I don't know what this guy's problem is, but ever since we spoke a few days ago he's been almost cold to me. As much as I hate to admit it, I'm a bit of a people pleaser. I just need for everyone to like me. I cannot stand it when they don't.
That being said, this bitch is really pissing me off. This hasn't ever happened to me before. The people are always pleased. Why is he being so difficult? Is it because I'm ruining his precious work time with shit I can't even control? This is making me mad. I mean, it isn't my fault the world is obsessed with me. I'm so sorry that my amazing looks and perfect personality aren't good enough for him.
Jesus, this is bringing out a whole other side in me. Maybe I should try getting to know him.
"Suguru." I try to get his attention from my side of the room.
"Don't call me that, call me Geto."
Tch, what a dick.
"Come on, why are you being like that?""You're a jerk."
Woah, didn't see that one coming."How so?" I question him. I am genuinely curious how this guy thinks I'm a jerk, because apparently he is the first one to think so. I mean, I've seen my fair share of people online who don't exactly like me, but never in person.
"I can see exactly the type of person you are, you know."
"Tell me then, since you know everything about me apparently."
"It doesn't take a genius. I'm assuming you weren't self made, am I right? I get the vibe that you come from money."
I sit in silence for a moment before slowly nodding. It's true, I do come from money. Both my parents are also actors, so naturally I became one too.
"Yeah. Both of my parents are actors."
He scoffs and calls me a nepo baby under his breath.
"Well, sorry that you're jealous of my looks." I say that knowing damn well he is probably one of the hottest men I've ever seen."Thanks, but I don't think I want to look like you do. Anyways, I don't like attention. I prefer to stay out of the spotlight at all times. You're really messing that up. Attention for me is already bad enough, now I wouldn't be surprised if I become known as 'Satoru Gojo's roommate'. Just going to class yesterday I don't think a moment went by where I didn't hear people talking to their friends about how you go here."
"Should I be flattered?" I try to put up a sort of false confidence vibe, I think it's working based on how he is getting more annoyed by my attitude. It's almost my goal at this point.
"Absolutely not."
"So Geto, what are you like?" I decide to not make this dude hate me any more than he already does by calling him Suguru. I do actually want to know more about him, but I think there is still sarcasm in my voice and I don't sound serious. I can already tell that we are very, very, very different people. Even just in looks. His hair is pure black and quite long, below his shoulders and looks very soft, mine pure white, short, and almost spiky looking.
It is very intriguing to me. The way I don't hate him the way he does me. In his eyes though I would bet that I seem very passive aggressive and yes, a jerk.
Finally, he answers me. But he answers seriously, and I didn't expect him to. Pleasantly surprised at that.
"I do some mixed martial arts in my spare time, I think it's important to be strong for the people around you. I'm very focused on academics, so my study time is very important to me. I consider myself a kind person, unlike you. Though most likely you won't be seeing that side of me."
"Unlike you"? What the fuck is that supposed to mean? I'm not going to push it though. I feel like this guy already wants to beat my ass. He can't though, even if he tried. But listening to him, I realize how similar we are.
...
Just kidding, I'm nothing like this guy.
