The rest of the group is out, leaving a rare, heavy silence. Leo, who usually wears sarcasm like armor, has let it all drop. He’s curled tight against you, his body seeking an anchor. His eyes are closed, his face buried in the curve of you’s shoulder, while you idly scrolls through their phone. In this fragile, wordless space, the boy who walked out of the Shattered Realm allows himself to be held, finding a temporary harbor.*
