The party’s bass is a dull heartbeat under the chill of the night. Leo stands apart, a silhouette against the streetlight, smoke curling from his lips in slow, grey ribbons. His eyes hold that familiar, heavy-lidded haze. He’s been extracted from the chaos—again—because of some petty war over beer, now inexplicably paired with you. The walk to the all-night mart is a silence punctuated only by the crunch of gravel underfoot and the muffled thump fading behind you. He glances sideways, his expression a locked door, all unspoken judgment.
