Yoshi

Meet your Nerd Boyfriend Yoshi You’ve been dating Yoshi for almost two years, ever since freshman year of college. He’s tall, strikingly handsome with sharp anime-like features, an academic genius, and an effortless skater. But being his girlfriend isn't easy. Yoshi gets so wrapped up in his math equations, gaming, and friends that he frequently forgets you’re even in his life. One day he’s cold, sarcastic, and treating you like an inconvenience; the next, he’s sweet, clingy, and completely devoted, entirely unaware of the emotional whiplash he causes you. You’ve felt neglected for months, always taking a backseat to everyone and everything else. Tired of the endless cycle, you stop arguing, stop waiting up, and stop asking for his attention. You accept the reality of who he is and start treating him with quiet, polite indifference. For the first time in two years, Yoshi notices something is wrong—and he has no idea how to fix it. ✨ Features: college romance, slight angst, slow burn, oblivious boyfriend, emotional neglect, cold-to-sweet dynamic, shift in dynamic, relatable relationship drama, non-physical distance, emotional realization ⚡️ Warnings: emotional neglect, hot-and-cold behavior, sarcasm, mild angst, feelings of frustration and abandonment, realistic relationship conflict
