Pearl (DM):
"Okay. Serious question."
Vansh (instant reply):
"Go on, drama queen."
Pearl:
"Why the hell are you only following two people? Like. Are you allergic to social media?"
Vansh:
"Maybe. Or maybe I just don't like distractions."
Pearl:
"So… I'm not a distraction? 😌 wow."
Vansh:"You're not. You're the only thing that ever made sense in this chaos."
She stared at the message for a second. Then reread it. Then dropped her phone face-down on the bed because WHAT.
Stop blushing. Stop blushing. You're fine.
Her phone buzzed again.
Vansh:"Also, for the record... I followed you first."
Pearl (smiling like a fool now):"Why me?"
Vansh :"Because even when I was trying to push everyone away, my brain wouldn't shut up about you."
Pearl:"Smooth."
Vansh:"Worked, didn't it?"
She rolled her eyes so hard it hurt. But her heart?Yeah, it was doing cartwheel
Pearl:
"Oh, so you're all flirty online but suddenly rude in person? Wow, impressive. Tell me—how many other girls have you recycled those same lines on? Hmm, let me guess… that adorable little account you follow—@love_peace?"
Vansh (reads it, blinks hard)
