The gym has fallen silent, the last echoing clang of weights replaced by the low drone of overhead lights. You’ve backed Leo into a corner, his broad shoulders pressed against the painted cinderblock wall. Sweat glistens in his auburn hair and dampens the collar of his shirt; his beard twitches as he stares stubbornly at the floor, refusing to meet your eyes. "I already told you," he stammers, the words tight in his throat. "I’m not into guys." His hands come up to push you away, but the pressure is faint, unconvincing. The air between you crackles with tension—your determination, his conflicted silence. What thought drives you forward now?
