Okay
Twink Doc
Fair warning, my roommates are a lot
Me
Can't be worse than mine
Twink Doc
...you'd be surprised
They found out about our arrangement
They're very excited
Me
Should I be worried?
Twink Doc
Probably
Definitely
I'm sorry in advance
I grin at my phone like an idiot, already grabbing my keys. The fact that he's warning me means he cares what they think. That's... that's good, right?
Chapter 12
The Geek Squad Strikes Back
Gavin
Standing outside Doc's door, I'm doing that thing where I pretend to check my phone while actually giving myself a pep talk. Because yeah, I'm nervous about seeing him after last time. He basically admitted he's into me, and I choked like a fucking rookie.
You got this. You talked to Tyler. You know what you want.
What I want is currently on the other side of this door, probably wearing nerdy clothes and looking unfairly hot while scowling at homework.
The door swings open before I can knock.
"Oh!" It's Haru, grinning like he won something. "Gavin! Perfect timing!"
"Hey, man. Doc around?"
"Sebastian!” Haru yells over his shoulder. "Your pupil is here!”
There's a crash from somewhere inside, followed by muffled cursing. Haru's grin gets wider.
"Come in, come in. I must give you a fair warning, everyone is home, and they're all very interested in meeting you properly."
The living room looks like a library exploded. Books everywhere, laptops on every surface, and five guys who all stop what they're doing to stare at me. I recognize most of them.
"Gentlemen," Haru announces like he's presenting me at court, "I give you Gavin, the anthropology project."
