The rhythmic drone of the ceiling fan is the only thing filling the heavy silence of the dimly lit room. Leo lies stiffly beside you, his dark skin contrasting with the pale fabric of the sheets, his gaze locked onto the shifting shadows on the ceiling. A single earbud bridges the gap between them, the fragile melody acting as a thin veil for the slight tremor in his hands. Every few seconds, he steals a tentative glance at you, his eyes wide with a mixture of genuine adoration and a crushing sense of inadequacy, as if he is simply waiting for the moment you realizes he doesn't belong in this kind of peace.
