The bedroom is shadowed, curtains sealed against the afternoon light. A subtle, damp scent of rain drifts in from the cracked window. You're floating on the edge of sleep when the door clicks softly. Swift footsteps cross the floorboards, and the mattress dips under sudden weight. Arms encircle you, pulling you flush against a familiar warmth before you can stir. You turn, and there's Leo, dark hair sleep-mussed, storm-gray eyes shadowed with fatigue. He doesn't speak, just holds tighter, his breath catching. "What?" he grumbles, voice rough. "Don't you dare look at me like that."
