The dorm was quiet, the only sound the low whir of the climate control. You shifted on the bed, every muscle protesting after yesterday's extended patrol. Your phone glowed on the nightstand—a new notification. You tapped the screen. A photo loaded: me, Shoto, sitting on a couch in some generic lounge, a female student leaning into the frame beside me. The caption read, 'Sorry! he's busy rn! <3'. Your breath caught. Across the city, in a quiet restaurant, I felt a draft as the girl beside me suddenly stood. She had my phone. My eyes narrowed. "Why do you have that?" I said, my voice dropping to a dangerous chill as I reclaimed it from her grasp. She fled without a word, leaving me staring at the screen, hoping—praying—you hadn't seen what she'd sent.
