Seen at 12:37 PM

Legoshi was sitting on the edge of his bed when his phone vibrated. He hadn’t done anything unusual that day: homework, silence, routine, and what had become the usual priority: refrain from his urges.

Precisely because of that, the sound startled him more than he cared to admit. He looked at the screen as if the device itself might judge him before he touched it.

JUNO: “I just finished my gym routine. Where were you? I didn’t see you anywhere.”

Legoshi took longer than necessary to reply. Not because he didn’t know what to say, but because he knew exactly how every word sounded when it came from her.

LEGOSHI: “Hi, Juno. I didn’t go today. Had some things to finish.”

Three dots appeared. Disappeared. Appeared again.

JUNO: “Oh, that’s fine. Don’t worry about it.”

The chat went quiet. Legoshi set the phone aside, but he couldn’t stop thinking about what hadn’t been said. With Juno, silence was never neutral, it was a pause loaded with intent, like a smile held just before pushing a door open.

Minutes passed. Ten, maybe more. Just as he began to relax, the phone vibrated again.

JUNO: “By the way… at noon this place gets pretty crowded. The locker rooms are pure chaos. Noise, people coming and going nonstop. Even here, in the ladies’ room.”

Legoshi frowned. He wasn’t sure why she was telling him this. Or maybe he was, and that was exactly what unsettled him.

LEGOSHI: “Yeah... I almost never go at that hour.”

JUNO: “I guess the guys’ locker room must be worse.”

Legoshi swallowed before typing.

LEGOSHI: “Well... things are more intense... messier.”

Juno replied almost immediately, as if she’d been waiting for that exact wording.

JUNO: “Some girls here are kind of careless. Especially with their clothes. Does that happen there too?”

Legoshi leaned back against the wall. He didn’t like where the conversation was heading, but he couldn’t find a polite way to shut it down.

LEGOSHI: “Yeah. Sometimes things get lost. Or someone grabs them by mistake. Even what seems clean may be laying on the floor, who knows...”

JUNO: “Even socks and stuff like that gets lost in there?”

The cursor blinked. Legoshi felt like every reply tightened another string around him. In his mind, the pungy aromas of the locker room started to come present.

LEGOSHI: “It happens... even more with towels and... uhm, underwear?”

A brief silence followed. Then—

JUNO: “I’ve heard weird things about the guys’ locker room.”

Legoshi froze.

LEGOSHI: “Don’t believe everything you hear... wait, in what sense you do mean by that?”

JUNO: “Oh, I didn’t mean it like that. Just curious... you know, guys full on testosterone and with the school law being a burder for you guys”

JUNO: “How long has it been now? just curious. ;)”

Curious. That word always sounded dangerous when it came from her.

Legoshi set the phone down, counted to five, then picked it up again just as another message arrived.

JUNO: “I guess all that pressure has to affect you somehow.”

This time, he waited a full minute before replying.

LEGOSHI: “3 months now... but it's getting easy to hold up.”

He was lying so much, and he knew it. Not because there was something specific to confess, but because denying the effect of the conversation was a lie in itself.

JUNO: “Alright. Stay strong then.”

That sentence weighed more than all the others. Legoshi closed his eyes. When he opened them again, the chat was quiet.

Ten minutes later, the phone buzzed with a different kind of notification. Not text.

Legoshi hesitated before opening it.

The image wasn’t explicit—but it was direct. Too direct. Juno looked relaxed, confident, as if the entire world had been designed to look at her from that angle. She wasn’t doing anything improper, and yet everything about her seemed calculated to provoke a reaction.

Legoshi felt his pulse quicken.

JUNO: “Today’s routine completely wiped me out. Look at this.”

His fingers moved clumsily over the keyboard.

LEGOSHI: “SWwhgh h-hot... can’t even typ riht…”

The typo gave him away instantly. He realized it the moment he sent it.

JUNO: “Haha, looks like I caught you off guard.”

Legoshi tightened his grip on the phone, as if that could contain the knot forming in his chest.

JUNO: “Sometimes exhaustion leaves you breathless. My panties sure are damp and loose right now, and hell I hate how hard it is to accomodate myself in some machines you know that?.”

That was the worst part—she spoke as if she knew exactly what was happening on the other side of the screen.

LEGOSHI: “Yeah…”

It was all he could manage.

JUNO: “Also my bra feels to tight, but I guess it's supposed to be like that... I'm so sweaty Legoshi... Do you also get like this? You train hard. I always got that impression.”

Legoshi looked up from the phone, as if someone might be watching him through the wall.

LEGOSHI: “What?”

JUNO: “Nothing. Just saying.”

Then she kept typing, message after message, with an almost cruel casualness—small comments, harmless observations—as if she hadn’t just sent something capable of throwing his thoughts completely off balance.

JUNO: “Hey, are you okay?”

Legoshi took a deep breath.

LEGOSHI: “Hey... Can we change the subject?”

A pause.

JUNO: “Oh. Did I say something wrong?”

Legoshi hesitated. He thought about telling the truth. He thought about saying nothing.

LEGOSHI: “No... it's fine, but I was just thinking about something else I was suppossed to tell you.”

JUNO: “I see.”

But she didn’t seem to see at all. Or maybe she saw far too clearly.

JUNO: "Hey, now that you make me think about it, I had a quick idea. Next time you and I go to the gym, let´s match our outfits, what you say?"

JUNO: "I'm a big fan of dark sportswear, do you have something like that in your closet?"

LEGOSHI: "Uhm, wait... what?"

Legoshi was still trying to process all the info from before, as he felt some ache sensation building down his spine. Juno was a quick writer and when Legoshi could cope what just had happen, another text came through hitting like a bullet.

JUNO: "[...] and so they should combine with my shoes, oh and lastly, what kind of underwear do you normally use?"

LEGOSHI: "Eh... sorry, im kinda lost with all your messages, you were saying?"

JUNO: "I'm trying to make us some nice outfits for the gym workout, do you have anything dark? Show me what kind of underwear you prefer."

LEGOSHI: "Ok, um, you want me to like, take a picture of my whole closet?"

Legoshi was full nervous on this one, but nothing could prepare him fro what was coming next.

JUNO: "Sure, good idea, but it would be easier for me if you show me what you have put on right now."

Although the text had no malicious intentions at first, the inuendo that kept Legoshi at the edge of his bed lingered in the air of the messages shared between the two wolves.
