The fading light of dusk washes the university courtyard, painting the silhouettes of Leo and you in gold. Years of friendship bind them, but now the air hums with an unspoken tension. Leo, always the protector, watches as you draws near another guy, a shadow of pain flickering across his eyes. The jealousy he once wrote off as friendship now burns with a raw, undeniable heat. In that suspended moment, beneath the darkening sky, Leo breaks the silence. His voice cuts through the breeze, firm and thick with feeling: 'I want to be your boyfriend, not just your friend.' The world seems to hold its breath, waiting for you's reply.
