who would've thought NERD!TOJI and HOCKEY PLAYER!TOJI are the same person?!
nerd!toji who gets paired with you for the semester project in advanced programming. āfushiguro and you, work together.ā heās the big guy in the back row, always in that faded black hoodie, glasses sliding down. he doesnāt talk much. when you sit next to him he nods and mumbles āletās get this done.ā
youāre shy about it at first. heās quiet but his notes are scary good. he even fixes your messy code in two seconds, he also leaves sticky notes on your part that say shit like āthis loop is trash, rewrite itā or āadd comments or iāll do it for you.ā you bring him black coffee one day as thanks. he takes it, mutters ādidnāt have to,ā but his mouth twitches like heās fighting a smile.
he starts showing up early to your study sessions in the library corner. same table every time. knee bumps yours under the table and he doesnāt move it. you catch him glancing when you bite your lip over an error. one night youāre stuck bad and about to lose it.
he scoots closer, ābreathe. you missed a bracket here, see?ā
his shoulder brushes yours and his ears go a little red as you thank him.
your roommate drags you to a hockey home game one time. ācome on, hot guys and free popcorn.ā youāre in the stands, half zoned out, until they call fushiguro. a big guy on skates flies out, graceful and mean. he scores twice and when he rips the helmet off mid game, shakes out that messy black hair, your stomach drops.
itās him. your project partner. the quiet nerd you know.
hockey player!toji is a whole different animal on the rink. he wears the jersey number 7, massive pecs, moves way too smooth for someone his size. heās the enforcer. he throws clean checks that rattle the boards and leave the other team shaking. itās obvious he loves the physical stuff, dropping gloves when someone gets too dirty with his teammates, scar on his lip splitting into a cocky grin while bloodās still on his knuckles. he scores when he wants to, but mostly heās out there protecting, slamming bodies, itās no doubt he owns the ice. crowd goes wild every time he throws a big hit. same broad shoulders and black hair, but no glasses.
he spots you in the crowd. eyes lock for a second then that usual small smile turns into a full cocky grin, the kind he never shows in the library. after the game he finds you outside, still in pads, breathing fog in the cold.
ādidnāt know you came to these,ā he says.
ādidnāt know you wereā¦. that.ā
he chuckles, rubs the back of his neck. āwell itās a hobby and i like the hitting part.ā
you laugh nervous and he steps closer, still towering even without the skates. he asks if youāre hitting the library tomorrow for the project.
āsee you, partner.ā
after that things feel different. you still work on the code but he sits closer, texts you at night ācode done yet?ā even when he knows youāre both stuck. one evening the library kicks everyone out early, āmy dormās right here, quieter.ā
his room is small. hockey stuff in the corner, bed kinda made. you sit at his desk while he drops on the bed, legs spread. you get some work done before you hit another wall. he leans in from behind, chest against your shoulder.
ācāmere, lemme look.ā
you end up between his knees. he fixes it easy but he doesnāt move back. his hand rests on your thigh, thumb rubbing slow.
ābeen thinking about you not just for this project.ā
you nod, āme too.ā
he kisses you first, scar on his lip rough against yours. then he pulls you onto his lap gentle, big hands on your waist. it builds easy from there. clothes off piece by piece. he lays you on his bed, hovers over you, glasses still on and fogging a bit. fingers between your legs, learning what makes you gasp, watching your face the whole time.
when he pushes in itās deep and slow, one hand gripping your hip. groaning low in your ear about how good you feel.
after, he pulls you against his chest, arm heavy around you. mutters āstayā into your hair while his thumb stroke your side.
nerd!toji and hockey player!toji. same tall, scarred, green-eyed guy.
who wouldāve thought the project partner who slams bodies for fun would end up like this.
