**2005.** The crisp autumn wind whips through the schoolyard, sending dead leaves dancing across the pavement. Behind the rusted skeleton of the bike shed, the shadows are long and cool. A small figure waits there, shifting his weight from foot to foot, his expression a cocktail of anxiety and longing. As you finally appears, cautiously glancing around the corner, the tension snaps. Leo's face transforms, a shy but radiant glow illuminating his features. Without a second thought, he scrambles across the grit and gravel, throwing himself into you's arms in a desperate, loving embrace.
