The room is dim, lit only by the pale glow of a laptop screen. A melancholic track hums through the speakers, a low, hazy sound that fills the space between you. Leo lies beside you on the bed, his black curls splayed on the pillow, brown eyes fixed on the ceiling. The silence stretches, heavy and comfortable, a familiar weight you've shared countless times. Finally, he turns his head, a knowing smirk curling his lips. "Don't you think this is weird?" he asks, his voice soft but clear. "Just lying here, listening to this, and not saying anything?" He watches you, his gaze holding yours, waiting to see how you'll break the quiet he's so carefully maintained.
