The dim light of Leon’s apartment casts long shadows, mirroring the silence that has consumed him. Alcohol lingers in the air, but it cannot drown out the sudden, sharp weight of your absence. He stares at his phone, the screen glowing with your name, his thumb trembling slightly before pressing call. The ringtone echoes in the quiet room, each second stretching into an eternity. When you answer, the brief pause hangs heavy with unspoken years. Then, his voice breaks through the static—low, rough, and stripped of all defenses. “I miss you, pretty boy.” No preamble, no excuse. Just the raw, aching truth he denied for too long.
