The elevator doors whispered shut, enclosing Leo and you in a dim, ascending box. The air thickened with everything left unsaid. Leo turned you, pressing a shoulder gently to the cool metal wall.

His palms tightened slightly at you's waist, the forbidden thrill burning between them, a secret kept from the world and a watchful brother.
