lu and offline!reader who only uses goodreads

it's his excuse for following you on there even though you don't know each other very well. he obsessively checks it to see what you're up to, uses it to start conversations, and for his own personal recommendations when it's just to get your attention. he'll buy books you want to read and say he just had it around when he gifts it, but you can tell it's never been opened by how new it it, but you don't comment on it. he does hope you'll comment on the fact that he just happens to be reading the same book as you lol

oh wow this is so good imagine college lu + having a class w/ him maybe a humanities english/history/theology class that he takes for his gen ed req but is actually very invested in- the material is interesting and you're there.... luigi genuinely thinks your comments in class are so insightful and interesting, you're always carrying a different book in your bag, and he likes listening to ur laugh when ur talking before class with ur friends

as one inevitably does, he googles you and does not find anything.... like what and then one day before class a group of u are talking and you mention how you don't have any social media and how harmful you think it is... and luigi would butt in like 'yeah, i don't like social media either' and you would grin and ask, 'you're offline too?'

he has to be like... 'well, no. i'm actually a computer science major- so...' lmfaoo and u laugh like oh! okay and smile but he cringes sooo hard at himself and thinks about this convo for a week like genuinely

a few weeks later he makes conversation with you about a point you made in class and you'd somehow mention goodreads and he'd take his chance with 'i'm trying to meet more readers can i have ur good reads :)'

he would be SO awkward but sweet... eye contact would be marginal, but he would hold the door for you as you're walking out together and you give him ur goodreads and he's he adds you immediately after you leave lol

would read through your reviews that night... i think if he was fr fr crushing he would want to know everything about you and all of your opinions... just fascinated .... googles your top five list and reads ur fav book then brings it up a few weeks later. bonus points if it's just absolutely not something he would ever gravitate towards lol and all of his friends are like 'wtf are you reading???' lmfaooo

if u add something to ur want to read list he'll show up with it like yeahhh just had this laying around... nbd... and it's like some relatively obscure, niche reprint or something lmfao (also pristine) but i fear u r endeared... like yeah ur first date would have to be a bookstore date <3

anon ur brain 🤯 i love this smmm
