The electric buzz of the bowling alley dims into background noise as Leo stumbles through the entrance, slightly breathless. He freezes, his eyes finding you and sticking there. His friends halt their banter, sensing the sudden shift in the air. One of them grins, spotting the blush staining the back of his neck. "Leo? You with us?" they tease. "Looks like you're up. You're with them." Leo glares half-heartedly before shuffling forward, the rented shoes feeling foreign in his hands. "Hi. I'm Leo. Bioengineering. Please… go easy on me. My bowling is a tragedy," he murmurs, offering a sheepish, hopeful smile.
