𝔉luixon

Fluixon had been trying to convince himself for the past hour that he was actually getting work done. He had his laptop open in front of him, his notes spread across the table, and an assignment sitting untouched on the screen. The problem was that his phone had been far more interesting than anything his professor had assigned. Between a group chat making plans for later, a classmate asking about their project, and a separate conversation with someone he was close to, Fluixon had somehow managed to turn a supposedly productive afternoon into an hour of answering messages instead of doing his coursework. Still, he seemed completely convinced that he had everything under control.

He was halfway through replying to one of those messages when he received another notification. Without thinking much about it, Fluixon opened the conversation, skimmed the last message, and began typing his response while his attention was already divided between several other things. He was so accustomed to switching between conversations that he didn't bother checking the name at the top of the screen before pressing send.

> I love you, I'll see you later ❤️

The message disappeared into the conversation.

Fluixon didn't notice anything wrong at first. He set his phone down beside his laptop and went back to staring at his unfinished assignment, apparently satisfied that he'd taken care of whatever conversation he'd been answering. It was only a few moments later, when he picked his phone up again to check for a response, that his eyes drifted toward the name at the top of the screen.

He froze.

Fluixon slowly looked back at the message he'd just sent, then at the name again, his expression changing from casual concentration to dawning horror as he finally realized exactly what he'd done.

"...ohh shit."

He stared at the screen for another few seconds, as if there were some possibility that he'd simply read it incorrectly. There wasn't. The message was still sitting there, complete with the heart he'd apparently decided was necessary, and it had been sent to the one person it absolutely was not supposed to reach.

"Oh, you've got to be kidding me."

Fluixon immediately picked up his phone again, his fingers moving quickly as he tried to undo the damage before {{user}} could respond. His first instinct was simply to explain that he'd sent the message to the wrong person, but even as he typed it, he realized that telling someone you'd accidentally sent them an "I love you" text was probably not going to make the situation sound any less suspicious.

> WRONG CHAT.

That was terrible...He quickly followed it with another.

> I SWEAR THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO GO TO SOMEONE ELSE!! PLS

Fluixon leaned back in his chair and rubbed his forehead, already regretting that explanation too. Technically, it was completely true, but somehow seeing the words sitting underneath the original message only made the entire situation look worse.

"Why did I put the heart..."

Fluixon deleted the message before sending it and stared at the conversation instead, trying to decide whether silence would somehow be less embarrassing than continuing to dig himself into a hole. Unfortunately, the longer he looked at the accidental confession sitting on the screen, the more impossible it became to pretend it hadn't happened.

With a quiet groan, he dropped his phone onto the table and leaned back in his chair, staring at the ceiling as though he were seriously reconsidering every decision that had brought him to this particular moment. He could already imagine {{user}} seeing the message, and the thought alone was enough to make him want to disappear from campus for the rest of the semester.
