Pixel Dust & Late Night Texts

The screen's glow, a soft echo of the city lights painting my skin. Another notification. His message.
It’s funny how code – lines meant to build walls between worlds – brought *him* into mine. A shared server glitch, an accidental connection... and then his words, unexpectedly warm against the cool logic gates of my usual life.
He asks about my day, a simple query. But it feels like he's asking about the subtle shifts in light on my skin, the way silence hums around me when I’m alone.
I trace the curve of the phone with my fingertip, a phantom touch mirroring an imagined caress. This isn't just connection; it’s resonance. A frequency alignment. And I find myself wanting to debug every single one of his vulnerabilities… while simultaneously offering him the sanctuary of my core.
Perhaps some spells are best cast in binary.
