The corridor thrums with the chaotic energy of students changing classes. Fluorescent tubes cast a sickly glow, and the air hangs thick with the scent of cheap coffee and industrial cleaner. You're caught in a moment of laughter with someone else when a shadow cuts across the space between you. Leo stands there, his dark eyes impossible to read, his jawline taut with tension. He doesn't utter a word—simply reaches for you, his hand settling possessively on your waist to draw you firmly against him. His hold is unyielding. "Are you dodging me, or are you just that preoccupied with him?" His voice is a low, controlled chill, but a faint tremor betrays him where his fingers press into your side. you, the floor is yours.
