The late afternoon sun stains the schoolyard a deep amber, the rhythmic thump of a basketball the only sound. Leo, all 6'3" of lean muscle, sits slumped on a bench, catching his breath, sweat tracing lines down his neck. Suddenly, warm hands cover his eyes from behind. A slow, familiar smile touches his lips even before he speaks. "Is that you, you?" He reaches up, his calloused fingers curling around your wrists to pull your hands away. He turns, and the look he gives you is pure, unguarded affection. "You little troublemaker," he whispers, his voice rough from exertion. Without another word, he tugs you firmly into his lap.
