Fourth adjusted his backpack nervously as he stepped through the gates of his university. It was his first day, and everything felt overwhelming. Students hurried in every direction while professors carried stacks of papers across campus.

"Great," Fourth muttered. "I'm already lost."

While staring at a campus map, he accidentally bumped into someone. The collision sent his books flying everywhere.

"Sorry! Sorry!" Fourth quickly crouched down to gather them.

A pair of hands helped him.

When Fourth looked up, he froze.

The guy standing before him was tall, handsome, and smiling confidently.

"No worries," the senior said.

Several students nearby whispered excitedly.

"That's Gemini."

"The most popular senior on campus."

Fourth immediately stood up.

"T-Thank you."

Gemini chuckled.

"You're a freshman, right?"

Fourth nodded.

Gemini smiled warmly.

"Welcome to campus, Fourth."

For some reason, Fourth's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

And his chaotic college life had just begun.

Fourth thought he would never see Gemini again so soon.

Unfortunately, fate had other plans.

The next morning, Fourth rushed toward his classroom while carrying breakfast. He was already late.

"Move, move, move!" he whispered.

The moment he turned a corner, he crashed into someone.

His iced coffee splashed everywhere.

Including on the person's white shirt.

Fourth slowly looked up.

Gemini.

Again.

The senior stared at the brown stain on his shirt.

Fourth wanted the ground to swallow him whole.

"I-I can explain!"

Gemini looked at him for a second.

Then he laughed.

A loud, genuine laugh.

"Why do I feel like every time we meet, something explodes?"

Fourth covered his face.

"This is a nightmare."

Gemini smiled.

"No. It's entertaining."

And somehow, that made Fourth even more embarrassed.By lunchtime, Fourth was determined to avoid Gemini.

Unfortunately, his friends had different plans.

"Let's sit there!"

Before Fourth could protest, they dragged him toward a table.

A table occupied by Gemini and his friends.

Fourth nearly fainted.

"Hi, Junior."

Gemini waved cheerfully.

Fourth sat down quietly.

Everything was fine.

Until he accidentally dropped his spoon.

It bounced.

Then landed directly in Gemini's soup.

Silence.

Everyone stared.

Fourth stared too.

His soul practically left his body.

Gemini looked at the floating spoon.

Then at Fourth.

"You're talented."

The entire table burst into laughter.

Fourth wanted to disappear.

But Gemini simply handed him a clean spoon.

"Try not to attack my lunch again."

Fourth nodded dramatically.

"No promises."A week later, Fourth failed a surprise quiz.

Miserably.

His professor announced tutoring sessions.

Guess who the tutor was.

Gemini.

Fourth considered changing majors.

The first tutoring session felt awkward.

Gemini sat beside him.

"Okay, what's confusing you?"

"Everything."

Gemini laughed.

"That's not very specific."

For the next hour, Gemini patiently explained each lesson.

To Fourth's surprise, he understood.

"You make it sound easy."

Gemini smiled.

"Maybe you're smarter than you think."

The compliment caught Fourth off guard.

Nobody had said that to him before.

As he left the classroom, Fourth realized something.

Gemini wasn't just handsome.

He was kind.

And that realization was far more dangerous.

Gemini started calling Fourth "Trouble."

Fourth hated it.

Or at least he pretended to.

"Morning, Trouble."

"Stop calling me that."

"Okay, Trouble."

Fourth groaned.

Gemini grinned.

The nickname quickly spread among their friends.

Soon everyone used it.

Fourth blamed Gemini entirely.

One afternoon, he decided to get revenge.

"Hey, Campus Prince."

Gemini blinked.

"What?"

"Campus Prince."

His friends immediately started laughing.

Gemini rubbed his forehead.

"I don't like that."

Fourth smiled proudly.

"Now we're even."

From that day on, they exchanged ridiculous nicknames daily.

Neither wanted to admit it.

But they secretly enjoyed every second.Classes ended late.

Dark clouds filled the sky.

Then rain poured down.

Fourth stood outside a building, trapped.

He hadn't brought an umbrella.

"Need help?"

Gemini appeared beside him.

Holding a large umbrella.

Fourth hesitated.

"It's okay."

Gemini gently pulled him closer.

"We're going the same way."

The two walked together.

Rain drummed against the umbrella.

For once, neither joked.

The quiet felt comfortable.

Fourth noticed Gemini's shoulder brushing against his.

His heartbeat sped up.

Gemini glanced down.

"Cold?"

"A little."

Without thinking, Gemini adjusted the umbrella closer to him.

The small gesture made Fourth smile.

Maybe rainy days weren't so bad after all.The university held an annual basketball competition.

Gemini was the team captain.

The entire campus came to watch.

Fourth sat in the front row.

He definitely wasn't there because of Gemini.

Definitely.

The game was intense.

Gemini played brilliantly.

The crowd cheered every point.

Near the end, Gemini scored the winning basket.

Everyone celebrated.

As players left the court, Gemini searched the audience.

Then waved directly at Fourth.

Fourth froze.

His friends screamed.

"HE WAVED AT YOU!"

"No, he didn't!"

"He absolutely did!"

Across the court, Gemini laughed.

For the rest of the day, Fourth couldn't stop smiling.Their friend group organized a movie night.

Everyone gathered in a dorm room.

Fourth arrived late.

Only one seat remained.

Next to Gemini.

Of course.

Halfway through the movie, a scary scene appeared.

Someone screamed.

Popcorn flew everywhere.

Fourth jumped.

Gemini laughed so hard he nearly fell off the couch.

"You're scared?"

"I'm not scared."

Another jump scare appeared.

Fourth immediately grabbed Gemini's arm.

Silence.

The room became suspiciously quiet.

Fourth slowly realized what he had done.

He released Gemini instantly.

"I can explain."

Gemini smiled.

"Sure."

The teasing lasted for weeks.One afternoon, Gemini saw Fourth talking with another senior.

They were laughing together.

Gemini felt strangely annoyed.

Very annoyed.

His friends noticed immediately.

"Are you jealous?"

"No."

"You look jealous."

"I'm not."

The senior placed a hand on Fourth's shoulder.

Gemini nearly broke his pen.

His friends laughed.

"That's definitely jealousy."

Meanwhile, Fourth had no idea.

Later that evening, Gemini joined him in the library.

"Who was that guy?"

Fourth blinked.

"My project partner."

"Oh."

Gemini relaxed instantly.

Fourth stared suspiciously.

"Were you jealous?"

Gemini nearly choked.

"No."

Fourth smiled.

"Sure."

........

Thank you 🙏😊 please support my story

Bye bye 👋

Weeks passed.

Gemini and Fourth spent more time together.

Studying.

Eating.

Talking.

Laughing.

One evening they sat on a quiet campus bench.

The sunset painted the sky orange.

Fourth looked at Gemini.

The senior was smiling at something silly.

And suddenly Fourth realized something.

His heart raced whenever Gemini was near.

His day felt brighter when Gemini texted him.

And his favorite moments always included Gemini.

"Oh no."

Gemini looked over.

"What happened?"

Fourth immediately shook his head.

"Nothing."

But inside, he knew.

This wasn't admiration anymore.

This wasn't friendship anymore.

Fourth was falling for Gemini.

And he had absolutely no idea what to do next.Fourth spent the entire weekend avoiding Gemini.

Unfortunately, Gemini noticed immediately.

On Monday morning, Gemini appeared beside him in the cafeteria.

"Why are you hiding from me?"

"I'm not."

"You walked away three times."

"Coincidence."

Gemini raised an eyebrow.

"Three times?"

Fourth nodded.

"Very unlucky coincidence."

Gemini laughed.

The sound made Fourth's heart flutter again.

This was exactly why he was avoiding him.

Every smile, every laugh, every small interaction made his feelings stronger.

Gemini leaned closer.

"Did I do something wrong?"

For a moment, Fourth almost told him the truth.

Instead, he shook his head.

"No."

Gemini looked unconvinced.

But he didn't push further.

As Gemini walked away, Fourth sighed.

Avoiding him was impossible.

Especially when Gemini kept finding him everywhere.Their professor announced a semester project.

Students were assigned partners randomly.

Fourth prayed for anyone except Gemini.

The professor smiled.

"Fourth and Gemini."

The classroom exploded with excitement.

Fourth buried his face in his desk.

Gemini looked delighted.

"Looks like we're partners."

"This is a disaster."

"No," Gemini said. "It's destiny."

Fourth nearly fell out of his chair.

The project required weekly meetings.

Unfortunately, Gemini insisted on meeting at cafés.

"Why?"

"Because studying is less painful with snacks."

Fourth couldn't argue with that logic.

By the end of their first session, they had completed only half a page.

The rest of the time had been spent arguing about desserts.

Their project might fail.

But at least they were having fun.That night, Gemini sat in his dorm room.

His best friend watched him carefully.

"You like him."

Gemini immediately denied it.

"I don't."

"You smile every time his name appears."

"No, I don't."

At that exact moment, Fourth sent a message.

Gemini smiled.

His friend pointed dramatically.

"Exhibit A."

Gemini quickly stopped smiling.

Too late.

His friend laughed.

"You like him."

Gemini stared at Fourth's message.

It was simply:

Did you finish your part of the project?

Yet seeing it made him happy.

Maybe his friend was right.

Maybe something had changed.

Because lately, Fourth occupied his thoughts far more than any project ever could.The library was unusually crowded.

Every table was occupied.

Except one.

A tiny table meant for two people.

Fourth and Gemini squeezed into the seats.

Their shoulders constantly touched.

Fourth couldn't focus.

Not at all.

Meanwhile, Gemini seemed perfectly calm.

Or at least he pretended to.

As Fourth reached for a book, he accidentally bumped Gemini's hand.

Both froze.

For a second, neither moved.

Then Fourth quickly pulled away.

"S-sorry."

Gemini smiled softly.

"It's okay."

The atmosphere suddenly felt different.

Quieter.

Warmer.

Neither mentioned it.

But neither forgot it either.
