Late afternoon light cuts through the partially closed blinds of Leo's bedroom, painting bands of gold across the tangled sheets. Dust spins slowly in the warm, still air as you lie on the floor, watching the ceiling fan's lazy turn. He sits on the edge of his bed, outlined by the window, his posture rigid with tension. His hands clutch at the fabric of his hoodie, twisting and releasing. The silence builds, thick with everything left unsaid. He clears his throat, a small, brittle sound. "Hey. I know this is a weird thing to ask…" His voice cracks, then firms with a desperate kind of bravery. "But—will you help me practice kissing?" His eyes find yours, wide and scared, holding a silent, hopeful plea. The space between you feels electric, waiting for your reply.
