[RPF] Andrew/Jesse - AU, Dork!Jesse

College, AU fic. Andrew meets dorky Jesse in the library, and is instantly smitten. Jesse is socially awkward and can barely manage talking with persistent Andrew ... so they find another way to communicate?
Jesse has to have glasses.
Bonus points for a ~scene where Andrew shows his protective side.

[Hey, so, this is my first fill and first Andrew/Jesse piece, so apologies if it's not up to par with all the wonderful writing I've seen around here. I've set the boys at Harvard just because, why not? And also because I've already done Harvard-related research, so it makes my life easier. Enjoy?]
It's not that Andrew is irresponsible. Certainly not. Andrew is a well-rounded student taking 22 credits this semester, almost half of which belong to ridiculous general education courses, on top of helping Carey get her student theatre company up and running for their first production (A Midsummer Night's Dream, because Carey does love her Shakespeare and also thinks they should start with something classic and also Andrew is most likely going to be Puck, okay love, but you still have to audition like everyone else. The upside to this is Andrew doesn't have to spend a lot of time memorizing his lines; he's a boy who knows his Shakespeare.) and also trying, attempting, doing his very best to maintain a not entirely boring social life.

The guy blinks his very blue eyes at Andrew, then hands him a stack of his books instead of taking the hand. "I, um," he says. He picks the last book up off the floor and stands up, hugging it to his chest. He's shorter than Andrew, and a little scrawny, but Andrew can't judge. Andrew is a lot scrawny. "I'm - I'm Jesse, sorry about your books

Several hours later, Andrew trudges back to his dorm room, his messenger bag heavy with the books he decided to check out, just in case he has to double-check things. He's got most of the paper done, an outline and note cards full of sources and quotes, so really all that's left is to put everything together. And that will be easier typing, so back to Eliot it is.
"'Sup, bangers'n'mash," his roommate Armie greets him from where he's sprawled on their communal couch, feet kicked up and hanging off the opposite end. He is longer than the couch itself. He's reading a thick Biochemistry textbook that looks like it would give any normal person a migraine.
"Nothin' much, world's largest known human," Andrew says. He drops into his desk chair and opens his laptop. "I think I scarred some guy for life in the library though."
"An-drew, how many times have I told you that no matter how impressive it is, you can't actually win people over by whipping it out in public

Andrew goes to class the next morning, hands in his essay which is actually 7,992 words but by the time he'd gotten that far he was literally dozing on his keyboard. He figures that a few words short is better than drooling himself into electrocution. If his professor notices, he'll just explain that the word count was for his own safety

This is so sweet! I love your characterizations of Andrew (the worst English person ever) and Jesse (library boy who likes maps). Not to mention Armie, Carey, Keira, and Eddie.
Joe and Justin should totally be Jesse's friends. ;)
Absolutely lovely, and I cannot wait to see their next meeting! I would not be surprised if Andrew goes looking around for whoever Jesse E. is. Smitten little thing.
Oh my goodness. This is so lovely. I am so in love with you, you perfectly perfect Anon with the amazing writing skills. I love everything about this. I love the perfect characterization and Jesse's canon map loving. And Armie. How did you know about my secret love for all things Armie?
I really want to sing to you about how beautiful this fill is! Or hug you. Or stare at you forever with hearts in my eyes.

This is just ridiculously charming. I don't even know how to express myself, lol. I've read it several times now and it just brings a smile to my face.
