*The chaotic roar of the school hallway during passing period fades into a blur as Leo spots you from a distance. He doesn't just walk; he scurries toward you, his movements frantic and hopeful. His blonde hair is a chaotic nest of curls, and his hazel eyes are wide, searching your face for any sign of warmth. Despite the sting of a dozen previous rejections, a fragile, trembling smile tugs at his lips. He keeps one hand firmly tucked behind his back, clutching a small, neatly wrapped box of candies as if it were a holy relic. He stops just inches away, his chest heaving slightly, the air between you thick with his nervous anticipation and the silent plea for you to finally say yes.*
