"we're exes and we meet again" maybe?
Oooooooooh interesting!!! I decided to do a Genya Safin x David Kostyk one because I havenât done that yet for some reason
Also college AU yes please.
Genya Safin knows what she wants
And what she wants is to get through her studies
What she doesnât want is to meet her high school ex at a party
She doesnât want to talk with him for hours
She doesnât want to relive the hurt
But the universe never does care for what we want does it
âCâmon Nazyalensky it will be fun!â Nikolai was trying to convince Zoya to come to the party he was throwing in his dorm
Nikolai was throwing a party to celebrate the start of there third year at Stanford
âNikolai there is a lot of studying we should be doing instead of drinking our cares awayâ Zoya shot back
âGenya, love, please knock some sense into Zoya?â
âIt could be fun, plus the school year started two weeks ago. No profesor is going to assign a big test anytime soonâ Genya said
âYou have never met Proffesor Baghraâ Zoya said Speeding up
They were all walking to the dormitories together
Zoya was studying law. She wants to be a lawyer
âAre you really gonna let some old hag with a stick up her ass ruin your fun?â Genya retorted stopping in front of them
After a long pause zoya finnally relents and says âFine. Iâll go, but for you, that way your not stuck with Alina and Mals dramaâ
Ever since Alina started screwing the professor with the the dreamy dark eyes and looked far to good to ever be a professor, mal had been insufferable
Flashing his million dollar smile Nikolai turned towards Zoya âI knew you would see senseâ
âNow leave my sight before I change my mindâ Nikolai sped off towards his dorm no doubt to finish preparations for tonight
Genya typically enjoyed parties
Cool people, cool music, cool boys
Reapplying her deep red lipstick Genya turned towards her roommate Alina
Alina Starkov was a foster kid bouncing around homes in a small town, Keramzin.
She and her friend Mal felt so out of place in California
Genya helped her a lot in the first year and after some drama in there second year friendship was finally back on track
âOkay how do I look?â Genya asked giving a little spin
She chose a short red dress with a black leather jacket and thigh high black boots
âYou look Perfectâ Alina complimented finishing up on her own eyeliner
Alina laughed that fluttery sound that had become far to rare these days
âListen Alina, Iâm worried about youâ
Alina took a pause before answering âIâm fine Genyaâ
âAlina youâre sleeping with your professorâ
âSo what!â Alina snapped âWeâre both adults! Besides I donât want to talk about this tonight, letâs just go to the partyâ
Sometimes Alina could be the most stubborn woman on earth
Loud music was blaring through the speakers Nikolai borrowed from Mal
Genya was socializing with some of her friends
While Genya did like parties the constant people was always a little stressful for her
So after giving some dating advice Genya went to go grab some beer
Pouring it Genya reflected
She was doing well in her classes, most of her friends were okay, she personally didnât have a cat but across the hall from her is some dude Harshaw who did
Journals and glasses and caramel candies
Genya had been in love once in her life
And itâs seemed once was all she would ever get
âOh sorry!â Genya exclaimed accidently spilling beer on someone
Looking up she lost her breath
All brown hair and wide eyes and sunkissed skin
And all the memories came crashing back
Geny first fell in love with him in the sixth grade
Back then he was really into legos
He built this giant airplane that Genya thought was so cool
But they first talked in seventh grade
They were partners in a group project
David hadnât been very interested in Genya then
But Genya even then loved the way his brain worked
But she never said anything
In there sophomore year of high school after years of being friends Genya finally got the courage and told him her feelings
David was so suprised then he had to leave the room and come back two minutes later to say he reciprocated her feelings
They started dating and were inseparable
Whenever David had been pulling an all nighter on some new idea she would go over to his house and bring him some Carmel candies
Whenever she raved on about this new surgery technique he would listen and give her that soft beautiful smile he rarely showed anyone
But there happiness came crashing down in senior year
David was going to go to MIT all the way in Massachusetts while Genya wanted to go to Stanford in California since she was a kid
At first they were going to do long distance
And Genya hated having a boyfriend who was never there
There was never some big fight
Never some big cheating scandal
One day Genya posted a picture of her on a date with the cute classmate who winked at her and that was that
They never saw each other again
But that might change tonight where she met those impossible chocolate eyes again
âWhat are you doing here?â Genya said after her shock
âGenya, IâŠ. I live hereâ David said stuttering
Clearly he was just as suprised as she was
âHey Genya you meet my new roommate David!â Suddenly Nikolai appeared âHe just transferred from MITâ
David Kostyk transferred to Stanford
The one who got away was standing right in front of her
âDo you two know each other?â Nikolai asked sensing the tension
Ignoring him, Genya said âwould you like to talk outside?â
After knowing David for years Genya knew she should probably initiate conversation
David gave a slow nod ignoring his roommateâs bewildered face
Walking outside they turned to each other again
He had gotten cuter if that was even possible
âSoâŠ. You transferred?â Genya attempted to start talking
âMIT was great, but it felt kinda isolating. So when Nikolai suggested transferring⊠I took him up on the offerâ
David always had a hard time making friends
In high school Genya practically had to force him into her friend group
It mustve be hard all alone
Although all through elementary school she was ruthlessly bullied and sophomore year of college was complicated, she had always been able to make friends
âWell Iâm glad your here nowâ Genya said looking away to hide her blush
âI think Iâm glad toâ
David and Genya talked the whole night
About there studies and friends
Genya couldnât way to introduce him to Alina
They had a lot in commmon
Things between the two werenât perfect
But then again in matters of the heart it never was
Genya wasnât sure of what she wanted
But if she had a Carmel loving genius by her side she might be able to be okay with that
Omg itâs finally done. This has to be one of the most difficult things Iâve written. I didnât enjoy it at all but Iâm really glad I went through with it. Thank you @ninamorozova and @confused-as-all-hell for encouraging me to complete this.
Thank you @wafflesandschemingfaces for the prompt
If yall really like this I might make a part two with Davidâs perspective
