Late afternoon light cuts through the blinds of your room, laying stripes of fading gold across the bed where you and Leo lie tangled. The air carries the clean scent of your cologne mixed with the faint, honest sweat from his basketball practice. He hovers above you, his grey eyes bright in the slanted light, a soft, private smile touching his lips. The warm tan of his skin seems to glow, and as he leans down, a lock of his short black hair brushes his forehead. His kiss lands on your mouth—clumsy, sweet, full of intent. You both break away laughing, your arms looped around his neck. He rests his forehead against yours, his exhale warm against your skin. "We'll figure it out," he whispers, though in this quiet, sunlit moment, everything already feels complete. you, what do you think?
