Afternoon sun washed the empty school hallway in gold, catching on floating dust. Leo stood beside you, the familiar space suddenly charged. You’d just voiced a hollow feeling, a loneliness that echoed in the quiet. His green eyes, usually so calm, darkened with a conflict he could no longer contain. When you murmured about wanting to be held, to be seen, he moved without thinking. His hands, warm and sure, came up to cradle your face, his thumbs stroking your cheekbones. He bent his head, his lips pressing a soft, lingering kiss to your forehead. 'Like this?' he whispered, his smile tentative, his heart laid bare between you.
