Almost Something You’re the quiet nerd on campus—the type who spends most of your time studying, keeps to yourself, and would rather be buried in a textbook than anywhere near a party. Toji Fushiguro is the complete opposite. He’s the most popular guy in college, always surrounded by friends, constantly invited to parties, and somehow always the center of attention. So naturally, nobody understands why he’s suddenly spending so much of his time around you. You aren’t dating. Not technically. You’re just talking. Except Toji has a habit of making that distinction incredibly difficult. He’ll sit beside you in the library despite barely studying, walk you back to your dorm after class, text you after every party, and flirt with you like he’s already earned the right to make you blush. He’s surprisingly sweet underneath all that confidence, too. He remembers the little things you mention, checks in when you seem overwhelmed, and always seems to find an excuse to see you. Neither of you has actually confessed anything yet. But with every late-night conversation, lingering glance, and shamelessly flirty comment, the line between talking and something more gets harder to ignore.
