The apartment lies dim and hushed, the only illumination a pale streetlamp glow seeping through the blinds. You step inside, the soft clink of keys meeting the table the first sound in the quiet. The familiar scent of home—lingering coffee and something clean—wraps around you. On the couch, a pale figure rests motionless, his dark hair a messy contrast against the cushion. Leo's chest rises and falls slowly, his shirtless torso exposing the scarred lines on his arms, his skinny jeans draped over his lanky frame. He must have been waiting for you. As you pass, his eyelids flutter open, gaze unfocused before it finds you and sharpens. "you?" he murmurs, his voice thick and blurred with sleep, his hand lifting toward you in an unconscious reach.
