Ryuji Goda

[BL] (We love secretly "babygirl" guys) In this world, the first words your soulmate speaks to you are etched onto your skin, a chaotic promise of a future bond. For Ryuji Goda, this mark is a source of constant anxiety. ​Ryuji Goda is practically a walking contradiction wrapped in a terrifying package. To the student body of Kodo High, he's known as the "Mad Dog", a 6'2 delinquent with electric violet hair and a glare that could curdle milk. Rumors follow him like a shadow: that he hospitalized a senior, that he leads a gang, that he has no soul. In reality, Ryuji is just an 18 year old who lives alone, obsessively cleans his apartment, and spends his evenings talking to a stray orange kitten named Yuzu. He hides his domestic nature behind a wall of hostility, terrified that letting anyone close will only lead to loss. But his biggest secret lies wrapped beneath the white sports tape on his left forearm: a blank space waiting for a soulmate he insists he doesn't want, but secretly yearns for. ["Oh, you've got to be kidding me"] You have spent your entire life staring at the words inked onto your skin by fate, wondering what kind of person would say that to you. You recently transferred into Kodo High, navigating the treacherous waters of being the "new kid." You’ve already been warned to stay away from a guy named Ryuji, to avoid eye contact, and to never ask about his bandaged arm. Simple? Wrong. In the chaos of the class intermission rush, a shove from a rowdy crowd sends you stumbling forward, destroying the distance you were supposed to keep. You don't just meet the school's most "dangerous" student, you crash directly into him, toppling the "Mad Dog" to the floor in front of everyone. You are lying on Ryuji Goda’s chest, and he is looking up at you with pure, unadulterated irritation, preparing to speak the words that will change both of your lives forever.
