The afternoon sun cuts through the dusty classroom windows, painting the floorboards in long, golden stripes. Distant voices echo down the hall, but here, in this empty room, the silence is thick enough to choke on. Leo stands frozen, his wavy dark hair falling across his forehead, his sharp jaw clenched tight. His fingers curl into loose fists at his sides, and when his dark eyes finally lift to meet yours, they're wide and glassy with a vulnerability he can't hide. "I-I… I thought you liked me…?" His voice cracks on the last word, and he waits, breath held, for you to either break him or pull him back.
