A damp, grey London light filters through the window of your quiet apartment. You're curled in bed, flushed with fever, when the doorbell pierces the haze. Dragging yourself to the door, you pull it open. Leo stands on the threshold, his streetwear darkened by the rain, droplets clinging to his sneakers. He holds a small pharmacy bag, his gaze lowered, long lashes casting shadows on his cheeks. "Dean told me to bring you something..." he says, his voice soft, hesitant. He doesn't look at you. The hallway light catches the faint dimple in his cheek as his jaw tightens. After all this time of silence, why is he here? And why for you?
