Afternoon sunlight cuts through the half-drawn blinds, painting warm, lazy stripes across the floorboards. You and Leo are locked in a familiar, charged silence, broken only by the distant, rhythmic hum of skateboard wheels on pavement. He's slouched back, arms crossed defensively over his chest, his famously tousled hair a mess from his nervous habit of running his hands through it. "I'm not buying you a kitten," he declares, his voice flat and final. But his eyes, when they finally meet yours, flicker—the usual sarcastic shield giving way to a vulnerable softness he only ever shows you. What are you really asking for?
