Beautiful hate (Joji x Reader Insert)

Chapter 19- Reader's POV

His words shocked me, he made it so clear. Made his loathing for me so crystal clear...
I said the only thing my mouth could possibly utter out,
"What?"
He seemed to tense at my croak, and slowly tightened up, eyes slowly showing concern. He stumbled awkwardly, as I was still lost in wonder at how the man who was infamous for letting out statements against me, could disagree with all of them with four simple words.
He slowly opened his mouth, calmly down subtly,
"I don't hate you, don't get me wrong, I don't like you, but hey, hates a strong word, so let's just say I have a passionate dislike for you"
A seemingly out of character smirk grew on his face, almost as if he was trying to cover up for his previously cracked façade.
That asshole. That absolute piece of shit. He may have not liked me, but I borderline admired him. I liked his videos and you could often find me listening to his music. Here he was getting my hopes up at a potential friendship. Well, somethings are meant to change, his opinion on me will be one of them. I promise you that.
"So basically you hate me?"
"Strong dislike, actually"
"What a shame, don't worry that'll change"
"Will it?"
"Oh it will"
"Don't count on it, sweetheart"
"Try me"
He looked me dead in the eyes as he approached me, leaving me no personal space, I couldn't help but allow a blush to grow on my face as I felt his breathing hit my cheek, he slowly leaned up to my ear and whispered,
"Good luck"
He pulled back and sank his posture down into his hips, crossing his arms, shit eating grin beaming at the pink on my face.
"Mama didn't raise no quitter, you'll soon come to realize that." I spat as I marched up stairs, I didn't need to look back to know that he was overjoyed by my obvious agitation.
