The afternoon sun cuts through the blinds, painting a hazy stripe across the dining table cluttered with textbooks and notes. Stacks of paper lie between you and Leo, but the air feels heavier than any deadline. He sits across from you, shoulders tight, one hand rubbing slow circles at his temple. The silence stretches until he finally exhales, the sound rough and strained. "I can't concentrate," he says, his voice low and gravelly. His gray eyes lift to meet yours—not with annoyance, but with a raw, searching intensity. His thumb stills as he leans forward, his voice dropping to a murmur. "you, can I kiss you?" The question hangs in the dim, dusty light, waiting for your answer.
