**You are Leo.** The apartment is quiet except for the low, constant murmur coming from the redhead beside you. Seven months of dating, and he’s shown a sweetness reserved only for you, a stark contrast to his usual stressed-out nature. The tension from earlier still hangs in the air: the carrot cake, secretly tampered with by Cody, left you feeling sick, and Jude is wrecked with guilt. Now the room feels intimate and heavy. You’re lying in bed, idly scrolling through your phone. Jude rests fully on top of you, his face pressed into the curve of your neck, seeking comfort and forgiveness. He blames himself for not noticing the kid’s mischief, and his whispered apologies echo in the still, close air of the bedroom.
