Homestuck x Reader in 2022 (2023*!?!?!!?[2024??... Okay 2025])

You stink at flirting (not you Itzjusallie_ thanks for requesting)

You were chatting with your only two friends in college, at a lunchtable under a tree. You didn't even pay attention to what they were saying, probably some gossip about how your teacher sermoned yall earlier.

"I'm sure that she thinks wwe're thugs. Wwe're literally the smartest in class but she doesn't evven take the time to know her students"

"S)(e probably knows we didn't cheat Erifin, s)(e s)(orely refered to Vriska and )(er friends"

"Talking about howw wwe don't havve that lexicon, as if I'd settle for copying and pasting a Google response"

You were too focused on watching that long haired buff guy, not paying attention to what Eridan and Feferi were saying. You smirked to yourself, staring as much as you could until he was too far. When you noticed he turned to get in the bathrooms, you felt a boost of something in you. You got up from the table, and your friends gave you a weird amused look. You were already thinking of an excuse to talk to him, but you had no damn idea of how.

"I'm gonna chase someone"

As you walk away, you could hear them cackle in amusement, bewildered at your sudden confidence, making some comments on how you are wild lately. Eridan and Fef didn't know who you refered though. You've been single for a while and was up for any chance to horse around. But seeing that guy always gave you that feeling of actually wanting to get to know him.

You stood outside of the bathrooms, at a respectful distance, acting like you're just scrolling on your phone. You didn't see that handsome anywhere though, and obviously you weren't going to check in the bathroom, even if it was the girl's bathroom.

To your surprise, when you lifted your gaze, casually looking around, you saw him behind you, already leaving. You didn't see when he left the bathroom, that was quick. If he even was in the bathrooms in the first place, probably he was just inside a classroom and you didn't see from afar.

Without an actual plan, you quickly walked up to his retreating form, making up a plan in the run

"Hey-"

The tall guy stopped in his tracks, and turned to face you. You felt tiny, and awkward, not knowing how to look at someone who's wearing black shades. His expression was neutral, almost uncomfortable, maybe anxious. You were kind of regretting this, but you were already here so you didn't back off like a pussy.

"What's your major?"

You asked, having a half made excuse. You'd ask him to respond a hypothetical poll for your hypothetical homework. That seemed good
