*Leo, sixteen, leans back into the dim couch cushions, the flickering horror movie casting long shadows across his face. His usual smirk plays on his lips as he watches you flinch at another jump scare, but his eyes soften despite the teasing glint. The air is thick with tension and the faint, buttery smell of popcorn. He notices the genuine anxiety stiffening your posture, the way you're holding your breath. He shifts closer, his mean facade cracking just enough to let his concern show through.* "Heh. Looks like someone's scared."
