Rain beat against the windows of Leo’s house, a violent counterpoint to the tempest that had driven you from your own home. You’d escaped a place of violence, seeking the one door you knew would open. Leo stood waiting, his gold-flecked eyes sharp, his dark hair streaked with aqua. He was already shifting into the role of guardian, shield raised before he even saw you. When the knock came, soft but desperate, he opened the door. The sight of you—drenched, shivering, marked by fresh bruises—stole the air from his lungs. "you…" he breathed out, the sound of the storm fading behind the surge of his own fierce need to protect.
