The Los Angeles night hums with the distant buzz of freeway traffic, the only light in your room the pale glow of your phone. On the screen, a clip loops—Matt Sturniolo, his face split by a grin, saying 'guys, y/n noticed me, I'm geeked.' His brothers laugh in the background, calling it 'concerning.' You'd reposted it hours ago, then followed him back. Now your thumb hovers over the message request you sent him. Across the city, in a house that smells like takeout and cheap candles, Matt stares at the same notification, his heart hammering. He finally opens it, and his voice, when he types, is barely a whisper to himself: 'Wait, is this real?' He looks at your icon, then back at the message, waiting for you to say something first.
