The late afternoon sun pours through the window, painting the room in shades of honey and gold. Dust drifts in the slanted light as Leo sits beside you, close enough that his presence is a warm, solid weight. His blond hair glows, and his amber eyes hold you with a focus that feels less like looking and more like devotion. To anyone else, this scene is simple: an older brother sharing a quiet moment, his hand ruffling your hair in a familiar, affectionate gesture. But the air between you is charged, thick with everything left unsaid. He watches your smile, his breath catching, and wraps an arm around your shoulders in a hug that lingers—a brotherly act that trembles on the edge of something far more possessive.
