Chapter Text
"Hello? Earth to Bryan? Don't daydream now." Bryan finally snapped out of his thoughts. He stared angrily at one of his friends, Owen, who snapped his fingers in front of Bryan's face to wake him up.
Bryan grumbled in annoyance, maybe a hint of embarrassment too. He was so shocked when someone managed to make him stop and stare at the beauty of that person. That had never happened before.
Because Bryan who has a bit of a narcissistic certainly doesn't want to admit that there are other people who are as handsome as him. But this time it seems a little different.
"Alright, I accept your challenge. But really, you'll give me the money later, I want to use it to buy porn magazines.
All of Bryan's friends laughed at his joke. Well, even though Bryan would never use money for something like that. Because honestly, Bryan was never really interested in women.
He was never interested in the two lumps on a woman's chest, or their voices that his friends said were cute and adorable. Bryan honestly didn't know what he liked because he had never really been interested in anyone in his entire life.
Until he saw a boy who could give electricity to his heart. The boy really caught Bryan's attention and Bryan who never failed to get what he wanted certainly wanted the man very much. He didn't know what kind of feeling rose in him when he saw the man, but he knew that he had to have the boy.
●●●
During lunch time, the cafeteria is filled with a lot of people. It should be a place for people to eat, but in university, the cafeteria is the best place to find the latest hot gossip. All the gossip that's still hot can be found here. This is a place where someone can gossip about their close friends but also put on an innocent face in front of that person.
Gossip about a student who is willing to sleep with her professor to get good grades. About some lovely dovey couple who broke up for simple problem. A place where a group of men can comment on the bodies of women who pass by. This is a simulation of hell, there is no privacy here.
Everyone here has to be in at least one circle, or you'll be ignored and excluded. Worst case scenario, you'll be bullied and no one will care.
Bryan, who usually had lunch with his friends, now took his food tray away from the table where he usually ate. His feet carried him towards a table on the edge of the cafetaria. There was only one person there and that person was Bryan's target for now.
"Is there anyone sitting here?"
Bryan's tone immediately changed to a friendly one. He adjusted his expression to be as friendly as possible, so that the person in front of him would allow him to sit there. Some people looked at Bryan strangely. It was really unusual for a popular student to sit together with someone whose name not many people even knew.
That man just nodded and that nod was all Bryan needed. Bryan immediately sat next to the man, without knowing himself he also tried to get as close as possible to the man.
"We often have classes together, right? I often see you in class, by the way, my name is Bryan."
"Ezra." The man answered briefly.
And that was their first meeting. A strange and unexpected one.
Bryan tries to find a topic of conversation with Ezra, although Ezra will only answer as needed. At first it felt very awkward between them, but Bryan seems to have the ability to lighten the mood.
"By the way, my friends and I are going to this nightclub. Do you want to join? Maybe you can try socializing with them."
"No thanks, I'd rather do my homework tonight." Ezra answered coldly.
"Come on, you should try to socialize here. Trust me, my friends are very nice and fun people!" Lie.
"No." Ezra's answer was still the same.
But it wouldn't be Bryan if he couldn't get what he wanted. He still tried to persuade Ezra to come with him tonight. Maybe Ezra was so annoyed with Bryan's request and the man's stubbornness, Ezra had no choice but to agree.
"Okay, tell me the time and place." Ezra sighed and took out his phone. He gave Bryan his number.
Bryan tried his best to keep from smiling triumphantly. They exchanged numbers, to make communication easier.
"Okay, see you tonight! Oh and just wear casual clothes. I hope you can drink alcohol." Bryan joked a bit before finally getting up from his chair and leaving Ezra with a visible smile on his face.
He didn't understand why he was this happy when Ezra decided to go to the club tonight. But Bryan also didn't want to worry too much and decided to just let everything go
