Chapter Text
It’s just college chemistry, he likes chemistry it can’t be that bad, right?
NO! IT GOES ALL WRONG!
Bruce Wayne is in his class and the last open seat is next to him, god must hate him! Bruce Wayne of all the fucking people here it’s him! Edward just suck it up it’s only the first day get here extra early the next one so you don’t have to sit with him every again.
Edward quickly makes his way to the empty seat, and sits as fairway from Bruce as possible. He looks over at him, his hair looks greaser and a little bit long then since he was 12. He could see that Bruce had earbuds in listening death metal, he knew it was death metal because he could fucking hear it. Stupid Bruce Wayne acting all sad and pathetic like he’s not a damn billionaire.
The professor walks in, does her little introduction and talking about the course. It’s a two term chemistry class and goes over basic lab equipment. Then she say the worst possible thing she could have said…
“Now I’d like you to talk to your table partner that you’re sitting next too, because they’ll be your lab partner for the rest of the class”
This was the worst possible outcome…
“uhm- I’m Bru-“,
“You’re Bruce Wayne. I know.” Edward cut him off, he refused to look at him.
“Yeah…. and you are?”,
He can’t believe this, Bruce really forgot about him.
“Edward, Edward Gordon.” I finally looked at Bruce. He was looking at me with this a strange glare, god this guy is the worst!
“Uhm, what’re your pronouns? Uh I use they/them…”,
oh.
Is Bruce non-binary?…
“He/Him.”
Then awkward silence…
“So what do you do for fu-“
“Look Bruce, I’m not here to be buddy buddy with you.”
“Okay.” Bruce said dryly,
God they’re so sad and pathetic.
