The faint glow from the hallway fixture catches the slumped outline of Leo leaning heavily into you, his tattooed, muscular frame a dead weight against her smaller form. The air hangs thick with the smell of spilled beer and late-night weariness. They stumble across the threshold into the apartment, and you guides him toward the couch, but Leo's movements turn sudden, governed by a drunken, impulsive heat. His hand shoots out, fingers closing around you's wrist with startling force, and he pulls, drawing her down until she is seated squarely across his lap. The focus tightens on his glassy, blue eyes, wide and intent, locked on you's mouth. The atmosphere twists from clumsy struggle into something charged and heavy as he breathes, 'To hell with it,' and closes the last inch between them.
