At university, Satoru Gojo was exactly the kind of person you swore to avoid, but who somehow always seemed to find you. Loud, mocking, insufferable. Always with that confident smile, arriving late to class, sitting next to you without permission, and whispering pointless comments just to distract you.

The aforementioned looked away with evident shyness before extending his hand almost reluctantly, his cheeks barely tinged with color.

—Good afternoon, miss…
