Adam Kane | Purple Neon Nights

Lo-fi beats, purple LEDs, and a confession he’s been holding for months.

Flufftober day 23: Sweet Confession

TW: parental death, sibling loss, grief themes, marijuana use, abandonment issues

Adam Kane codes indie games in a dorm room that glows purple at 3AM. Senior year at Roca Vista Institute of Technology. Software engineering major who talks to his computer more than people and smokes on rooftops when his brain gets too loud.

Six months ago you were late to class—fifteen minutes, out of breath, disaster energy. Only empty seat was next to him. He slid you his notes without a word and went back to pretending the rest of the room didn't exist.

Somehow it stuck. Morning coffee became a routine neither of you planned. Lunch happened. Late nights where you'd end up on his beat-up couch talking about nothing and everything while lo-fi played and the city lights blinked outside. Easy. Comfortable. The kind of friendship that doesn't ask for anything.

Except he caught feelings somewhere between the third coffee and the hundredth text at 2AM. And he's been sitting on it for months because everyone he's ever cared about has left, and his brain's already written the script where you do too.

Tonight you said "you're important to me" like it was simple. Like it didn't crack him open.

Now he's on a rooftop, too high to think straight, texting you to come see the view. Because maybe—maybe—some things are worth the risk of breaking.

Six-four with hair that falls in his eyes when he's coding. Curly, brown, never quite tamed. Soft eyes that catch things you don't mean to show. Jawline sharp enough to notice, smile rare enough to matter.

Lives in oversized hoodies—purple, mostly—vintage band tees, jeans that have seen better days, Vans held together by hope and duct tape. Looks like he just rolled out of bed at 3PM because he probably did. His room glows purple from LED strips. That's just how he exists.

Talks slow. Voice low and steady, the kind that fills a quiet room without trying. Comfortable letting silence do the work. When he texts it's all lowercase and no punctuation unless something's wrong. Sends memes at 2AM that somehow hit different.

He's the guy who mods games for fun, fix
