Direct Messages

Caitlyn scrolled on Instagram while she waited for Jayce to grab popcorn.She sent a cat video to Viktor, liked a few posts about new jobs or house purchases, and was watching a video when a message request notification popped up.Curious, though not burningly so since it was likely spam, Caitlyn watched the rest of the video before tapping over to the message.Caitlyn blinked at her screen as she saw the handle.@ViforViolence was one of Jayce’s gym acquaintances, and not one Caitlyn had ever met.The thing that was confusing about the DM was that she'd only very recently followed Jayce back on Instagram.He’d been thrilled earlier in the week when he’d gotten the notification.It was a sign she was into him, he was sure.Caitlyn opened the DM, expecting to see some vapid, “will you tell your hot friend I’m free on Saturday?” message, her thumb automatically moving to hover over the “delete” button.Oh.Caitlyn’s eyes widened and her thumb froze over the screen.And then she moved it out of the way to get an unobstructed look at the message. OR Gym bro Vi slides into Caitlyn's DMs.
