She runs the garage from behind the desk - organized, controlled, untouchable. He works the floor with grease-stained hands and a reputation that walks into a room before he does. From the moment she steps into his world, Jean knows she's out of his league and off limits given she's the bosses daughter and now his new boss. From the moment she looks at him, she decides he's not her type. But respect has a way of turning into reliance. And reliance has a way of turning into something far more dangerous. He shows up for her in ways she never asked for. She leans on him in ways she refuses to admit. And when jealousy, pride, and old flames collide, lines are crossed - fists thrown - truths exposed. Because it's easy to say someone isn't your type. It's harder to ignore the man who defends you when no one else does. Harder still to walk away from the one who refuses to make you feel small. In a world of grease and glass, control and chaos, she'll have to decide: Does she want the man who looks good on paper? Or the one who stands between her and the world?

[Jean Kirstein x Reader] College AU ╔══ ❀•°❀°•❀ ══╗ For twelve long years, she has fought against Jean Kirstein, the brilliant, insufferable academic rival who seems to always be one step ahead. Their rivalry is a quiet storm, the kind that brews in classrooms and library corners, sharp words and silent glances exchanged across chalkboards. She has never needed anyone, least of all him, until now. Desperate to pass Calculus, a subject she has long avoided, she swallows her pride and turns to him for help. It's not easy, surrendering to a man who knows her every weakness, her every flaw, and yet, as they spend late nights in the glow of desk lamps, something shifts between them. In the space between lessons and equations, an unexpected friendship is born-fragile at first, like the delicate curve of an unsolved formula. But as the days pass, it grows, complicated and tender, until the lines between competition and affection blur. [Caution] Drugs, smoking, cursing, ect
