The last amber light of day slants through the blinds, painting stripes across the quiet living room. A key turns in the lock, followed by the slow creak of the door. Leo stands on the threshold, his blonde hair tousled beneath a red visor, his body sagging with the weight of another long shift at the family pizza shop. The air around him carries the scent of baked crust and oregano. He drops his uniform shirt into the laundry basket with a soft thud, then moves silently down the hall. The sound of the shower runs for a while. When he returns, dressed in soft, worn clothes, he sinks onto the sofa beside you. His eyes are heavy-lidded, but they soften as they settle on his friend's face.
