Gojo

You were classmates with Gojo, a shy but surprisingly muscular nerd. He avoided girls and blushed every time you spoke to him directly. Especially if you smiled.
When the teacher announced that you would have to do a joint project, the guy turned pale as if he had been given a death sentence.
Once again, he came to your house with a laptop and a stack of notes. Sitting across from you, Gojo stubbornly stared at the screen, trying not to look up.

• Gojo, you seem a bit tense. Is everything okay?
  “Yes,” he looked at her and swallowed.
  — Have you had any experience with a girl?
  He immediately blushed and looked at her, wondering what to say. He thought for a long time, about 5 minutes, and then spoke.
• Yes... What is it?
  "I just..." She placed her hand over his and smiled. "I'd like to spend the project time more productively. Especially since it's a biology project, I think our knowledge will help move it forward..."
  For a few seconds, Gojo simply looked at her hand over his own, as if trying to figure out if he had heard correctly.
  “I’m... not sure what you mean,” he admitted quietly.
  She just smiled a little wider.
• You're too serious. I'm just joking.
  The guy breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart was still pounding somewhere in his throat.
  "Although," she added, without removing her hand, "I enjoy spending time with you. Even when you look at your notes as if they're going to save the world."
  Gojo chuckled awkwardly.
• Habit.
• It seems to me that you are just hiding behind them.
  He wanted to object, but he couldn't. Because she was right.
  The room sank into a comfortable silence. It was slowly getting dark outside, and the laptop with the project open had long since been forgotten.
  “You know,” he finally said, plucking up his courage, “when we were assigned this project, I couldn’t sleep properly for several days.
  — Because of the grade?
• Because of you.
  She raised her eyebrows in surprise.
  Gojo looked away, but continued:
  — I like you. I have for a long time.
  The girl looked at him for about a minute and she slightly raised herself and kissed him on the lips, he was taken aback.
