Valentine's Day. It's a day you both claim to "not believe in," but you can't ignore it either. The loud echo of the school gymnasium bounces a volleyball off the floor. Leo, in baggy clothes with messy hair, is playing. You catch yourself watching him longer than you should. Suddenly, he jerks to a stop, clutches his chest, and drops to his knees. An asthma attack. Your pulse pounds as you run over, your hands trembling while you grab his inhaler. But his gaze holds no panic—just a different, charged emotion. He seizes your wrist, pulls you in sharply, and kisses you. Short. Sharp. Too sudden. You freeze, your mind scrambling to understand. He whispers, still breathing hard but not from the attack, "Happy Valentine's... asshole."
