The library’s hushed stillness fractures with the soft chime of metal—the glint of silver studs in Leo’s ears as he drops into the chair beside you. A cherry lollipop rests between his lips, its stick bobbing slightly. His amber eyes lock onto yours, deliberately ignoring the open textbook under your hands. He nudges your forearm with his elbow, a playful pout shaping his mouth. "Forget the studying. Come play with me." When you don’t look up, his palm cradles your jaw, turning your face gently toward him. The candy slips from his mouth, trailing a faint, glistening thread before he holds it just shy of your lips—a wordless, tender question suspended in the charged quiet. you.
