#3. how exactly did you meet the satoru gojo ?
nerd!toru has always been the toughest nut to crack: a well known campus heartthrob for girls who fantasized about being dominated by quiet guys, who could honestly care less about them and their delusions.
nerd!toru never seemed like the type of guy that would spare even the slightest glance at a pretty girl. with his stoic, cold facade, paired with his natural rbf—he surely looked like the kind of man who would sneer at any, AND every woman who tried to flirt with him.
at least, that was until...
nerd!toru caught sight of you during one of the frat parties his infamous twin launched. you sat happily on one of the rough sofas, damaged leather digging into the soft skin under your thighs.
nerd!toru was instantly captivated by the small, gentle smile that painted your glossy lips. how you held that aura of warmth so naturally, as if it was nothing more but instinct to you. you conversed with many people, all dropping by to create small talk, obviously comfortable with your presence.
you stuck out like a sore thumb, in the best way possible. a sliver of calm in a sea of chaos and obnoxiously sweaty crowd of university students.
his heart slowed, and for a second, it felt as though there were drums within his ears. his face flushed faintly, a light tinge of pink dusting his cheeks. his lips remained pursed, but he wasn't aimlessly staring at the walls anymore. instead, he was staring at you.
nerd!toru has always been logical. it wasn't insane to say that he was borderline obsessed with being calculative, always creating equations that made various solutions for the problems in his life.
tonight, he was faced with a strange dilemma. yet another variable in his story—except, you were unknown. unexpected. unpredictable.
so, nerd!toru created equations to solve you.
"yo," he called out to his twin, whose hands were currently wrapped around some random accountancy student. "bro!" nerd!toru frowned, quick to be annoyed with frat!toru's antics.
"you havin' fun, lil guy?" frat!toru laughed, head thrown back carelessly as he moved closer to nerd!toru, throwing an arm around his shoulder. nerd!toru clicked his tongue, gesturing towards you in that cute pink dress. "you know who that is?" he asked.
frat!toru took a minute to squint and observe, focused in your direction, before widening his eyes with a relaxed, knowing grin. he glanced towards his twin, a teasing tone in his smooth, raspy voice. "why? you interested?" he cooed.
"just tell me her name." nerd!toru hissed, rolling his eyes at the scent of cheap alcohol stuck onto frat!toru's shirt. "gotchu," frat!toru threw his hands up in defense, "that's y/n l/n, from the psychology department. biiiiggg sweetheart, that one. such a good girl." he sighed, batting his eyes dreamily, before he chuckled.
"exactly your type, i think. want her insta?" frat!toru smirked. with a casual hum, nerd!toru nods in response, "actually, i think i've got it from here." he taps frat!toru's shoulder in reluctant appreciation, before boldly making his way to you.
you were completely oblivious to the absolute hunk of a man coming your way, absorbed in your own little world. nerd!toru approached with purpose, quiet confidence in every stride.
"hi," nerd!toru's calm, velvety voice reached you, as you jumped ever so slightly in surprise. "oh! hello..?" you greeted back hesitantly, unsure if it was you he was speaking to, only to be reassured by his weight dipping into the seat beside you.
"you seem pretty composed and put together for a girl who's currently in a frat party." he muttered out curiously, a hint of amusement in his tone. you chuckle, rubbing your nape out of habit. "really? i was.. kind of thinking about ways to dip, and hurry home to read my books."
his eyebrow raised in interest, "what books are you into?" you smile, "psychology. you know, stuff like research and thesis. maybe casual books too, where i can dissect a character's background and their issues." you laughed. he didn't. instead, he stared. unabashedly. intentionally.
"that's.. interesting. i usually lean towards chemistry- er, you know, my course." he shrugged, observing you from the corner of his eyes.
"that's cool! chemistry and psychology are actually very intertwined, you know? have you read any books about that? stuff like neuropsychology and neuropsychiatry!—" you began to ramble on and on, pulled into the topic which clearly featured both of your majors.
he smiled. a small tug on the corner of his lips. 'gotcha.' he engaged in the conversation almost immediately, attentively asking questions and making valid points that ignite the sparkles in your eyes.
he walked you out as the clock struck 1:00 in the morning. your friends, already in a drunken haze, slumped in the backseat of your car. "can i have your number? maybe, your socials too? i had a good time today." you grinned, albite a tad bit drowsy.
nerd!toru smiled in return, "of course."
the equation was already being solved, but for some reason, he wouldn't mind if he kept solving forever.
