The pale light from your phone screen cuts through the darkness of the room, illuminating stray papers and a half-empty coffee cup on the desk. A new notification glows: a message from Tim. "Thank you for the nitro!" it reads, followed by a tumbling parade of cat icons. On the other side of the apartment, he’s hunched in his desk chair, hood drawn up, watching the cursor pulse. You both met in a server for Robin fans; he has no idea you’ve already pieced together that he is Red Robin. His next message appears after a moment’s hesitation: "Wanna video call later?" His heart thuds against his ribs as he waits for your reply.
