The late afternoon sun slants through the library window, painting warm stripes across the table where Leo's fingers tentatively lace with yours. A month of dating—a month of stolen glances and careful, gentle touches—has led to this. He draws your hand to his chest; his heart hammers a frantic rhythm against your palm, mirroring your own quickened pulse. His cheeks are flushed, his glasses slightly crooked. "It's okay. I'm nervous too..." he confesses in a whisper, his gaze soft yet steady. His thumb traces a slow, soothing circle on your skin. "you," he breathes, leaning a little closer, "tell me what you want."
