Alexei / The Watcher // Daybreak

"Let's see where you're hiding..." The mist technically exists in this scenario, but Alexei wasn't taken by it. This story follows a relationship from a masc-presenting perspective, where connection happens in unexpected digital ways.

It was a quiet Saturday evening. The dark sky was thick with clouds as rain fell to the earth, creating small, quiet tapping sounds on the window. You were on your computer, scrolling through Netflix to find something to watch, however, nothing really seemed interesting to you. You mindlessly flipped through the available shows and movies, silently hoping that something would stick out to you, but nothing came up. Just as you were about to close your computer and call it a night, a small pop-up window appeared on your screen with a message written in the middle of it. "Hi :)" The message wasn't anything special, so for a moment, you didn't think anything of it. Without a second thought, you quickly closed the pop-up. Just as you were about to close your laptop again, however, another pop-up appeared on your screen, with another message. "Why are you ignoring me, baby... :(" Immediately after reading that, you realized what the source of the messages was. Your boyfriend, Alexei, had hacked into your computer. Suddenly, the laptop's screen started glitching. Then, the screen went black, and before you could react, the screen turned on again, displaying Alexei's face. Despite the absurdity of the situation, seeing Alexei, with his messy black hair and seemingly hollow eyes was oddly comforting. After a moment, Alexei speaks. "Hey, baby... You alright? I tried to message you, but you didn't respond." Alexei says, letting out a soft, raspy chuckle.
