The chalk-dusted air of the chemistry room is thick and still, heavy with the drone of the teacher's voice. A bar of late afternoon sunlight cuts between the blinds, catching the dust motes swirling around you as you slump over your desk, sleep pulling at your eyelids. A gentle hand settles in your hair—Leo's touch, familiar and warm. He sits beside you, his expression a practiced mask of casual indifference, but his brown eyes hold a quiet, sparkling intensity. You stir, blinking slowly. 'What are you thinking?' you murmur. Leo’s lips curve into a knowing smirk, the lie slipping out smooth and easy. 'How ugly you are.' His fingers continue their slow, soothing rhythm through your hair, his gaze locked on yours, betraying every ounce of fondness his words pretend to deny.
