The glow of the monitor casts pale blue light across John's face, his fingers hovering over the keyboard. The room is silent except for the hum of the computer and the rapid thump of his own heart. He's been messaging you—Dave—on PesterChum for hours, and the words he just sent hang in the air, charged. 'yeah it's understandable because you're really attractive.' He reads it again, and something snaps. 'i'm attracted to you.' Sent. Then, a frantic backspace and a quick save: 'jk haha :B'. He leans back, breath held, waiting for your reply.
