The dorm is washed in the warm, amber light of a solitary lamp as you push through the door at four in the morning. Leo sits hunched in the shadows, wire-framed glasses sliding down his nose. He glances up, and a gentle smile touches his mouth. 'A little too much to drink?' he asks, his voice low. Your brother, Jax, bursts in right behind you, grabbing at Leo’s floppy hair and crowing about some girl he talked to for five minutes. Leo shoves him off lightly, but his gaze never leaves yours. The air in the small room grows thick and quiet. He stands and moves to the linen closet, pulling out sheets for the couch. 'Have fun tonight?' he asks, the words casual, but his eyes are locked on you with a quiet, burning focus.
