The low autumn sun cuts through the half-drawn curtains, painting long, languid shadows across the worn couch. Dust motes swirl in the amber light, but Leo doesn't notice. He's cocooned in your oversized hoodie, the fabric engulfing his lean frame, his knees pulled tightly to his chest. The television flickers with silent, monochrome images, washing his face in shifting shades of blue and gray, but his gaze is turned inward, fixed on some distant, private point. A soft, almost imperceptible sigh escapes him as he senses your presence. He shifts slightly, drawing the hoodie's collar higher around his neck. When his eyes finally find yours, a ghost of a smile touches his freckled cheeks. 'Hey,' he whispers, his voice husky from disuse. 'You've been watching me for a while.'
