Seeing double.(Fratjo and Nerdjo) by azzyislayze

Summary
Frat Gojo and nerd Gojo as twins.
~~~~In this realistic college setting, Y/N is a sensible, kind, and unassuming student who stays focused on her grades and her private hobby. She has a complicated, "weird" friendship with Gojo, a popular, impulsive frat boy who hired her as a tutor to help him pass a class. Gojo is a classic playboy—not intentionally malicious, but socially unaware and emotionally shallow, moving from girl to girl without considering their feelings. He is constantly flirtatious and touchy with Y/N, and while she has genuine feelings for him, she keeps her guard up to avoid becoming just another girl on his list. The central idea of the story is that Gojo has an identical twin, a quiet and brilliant "ghost" of a student who stays entirely under the radar.
