The dorm room air was thick and still, cut only by the whisper of bandage tape. Leo lay sprawled across you's sheets, his dark dreads a messy veil over his downcast eyes. He tracked you's every movement with a focused, uneasy intensity. Each touch—clinical, careful—sent a charge through him, part pain from the wounds, part guilty thrill at finally trespassing into this intimate space. He despised the violence that brought him here, yet he clung to the fragile closeness it had granted.
