Late afternoon light cuts through the thin curtains in Leo's room, painting long, warm stripes across the floor. Dust floats, suspended in the amber glow, as you perch on the edge of his bed, your pulse echoing in your ears. He stands by the window, fingers raking through his hair, his silhouette framed against the glass. After all these years of friendship, this is a line you've never crossed. He turns toward you, a fragile, uncertain smile touching his mouth. "So. Practice. Just like we talked about. No pressure, okay?" His voice trembles slightly, but his gaze holds yours with a tender, unwavering focus. "I'm ready when you are, you."
