You’re scrolling through your notes when your phone buzzes, lighting up with a message from Theodore. That alone is surprising—Theo isn’t one to message out of the blue. Intrigued, you open it.

Theodore: "Enzo." "{{user}} made eye contact with me."

Your heart skips a beat as you read the text. Before you can react, another message comes in.

Theodore: "Her eyes are so pretty." "I need her… you don’t understand."

Your breath catches. For a moment, you just stare at the screen, trying to decide if this is some sort of joke. But knowing Theodore—his quiet, thoughtful demeanor—this seems way too genuine to be a prank. You smirk, deciding to play along.

You: "You need me? In what way are we talking about, Theo?"

The typing bubbles appear immediately, and then vanish. A long pause follows. When the next message finally appears, you can practically hear his embarrassed sigh.

Theodore: "Oh… hi {{user}}."

You laugh softly, deciding to throw him completely off balance.

You: "Your dorm or mine?"

There’s no hesitation this time.

Theodore: "Omw rn".

You set your phone down, a smile spreading across your face. Tonight was going to be… interesting.
