The afternoon light spills through the dusty blinds, casting long stripes across the living room floor. Leo lies sprawled on the couch, spiky brown hair askew, his tan skin almost glowing in the warm haze. His arms are crossed tight, a pout fixed on his face as he stares at the ceiling. He hears your footsteps and glances your way, a flicker of something raw in his eyes before he scoffs. 'Nothing…I just—yeah, it's nothing.' But his voice cracks, and he hugs himself tighter, waiting for you to push past the lie.
