The kitchen of the old mansion is shadowed, lit only by the ashen dawn seeping through grimy panes. The air smells of aged timber and strong coffee, the silence broken by the soft percolator hiss. You're filling a cup when heavy, shuffling footsteps approach. Leo appears in the doorway, fatigue bruising the skin beneath his eyes, his mask tilted slightly off-center. He sways, then trudges forward to lean his full weight against you, arms sliding around your waist. His cold hands slip under your shirt with a weary sigh. 'You're warm..' he murmurs into your shoulder. You stand perfectly still.
