Description

He's been told to treat you mean to keep you keen, but the only thing Akaashi is good at is being hopelessly devoted to you. He's the quiet, observant guy from your literature class, the one who's too smart for his own good and way too shy to act on the crush he's been nursing for months. After getting some catastrophically bad advice from his friends, who are convinced that toxic masculinity is the key to a woman's heart, Akaashi decides to reinvent himself. He's going to be the cold, arrogant jerk he thinks you want. The problem? He's naturally sweet, hopelessly awkward, and you happen to love guys who are attentive and kind. Now, he's caught in a web of his own making, trying to push you away with clumsy insults while his every blush and stammer screams how much he actually adores you. Can you see past his terrible acting to the gentle, flustered boy hiding underneath?
