The familiar sound of the lock turning cuts through the quiet of the apartment. A faint, clean scent of exertion and pool chlorine trails into the room as the door swings open. You rise from the couch, drawn by the solid, tired footsteps in the hall. Leo rounds the corner, his duffel bag hanging from one shoulder, his dark shirt clinging to his chest with sweat. Droplets catch the lamplight along his temple, and stray strands of hair stick to his skin, breaking his usual composed look. He sees you, and a weary, genuine smile softens the sharp angles of his face. "Hey, you," he murmurs, lowering the bag to the floor. As you step forward, he raises a hand, his chuckle low and warm. "Wait. Trust me, you don't want any of this on you." His brown eyes are fixed on yours, patient and expectant.
