The monitor’s cool light paints your face in shifting blues and grays, highlighting your concentration. Leo is a silhouette beside you on the too-small bed, his dark clothes swallowing the dimness of the room. The air carries the faint, sweet ghost of incense over the familiar scent of old books and dust. You groan at the screen, venting about the tedious romantic tension between the pixelated heroes. ‘Just kiss already,’ you sigh, unaware. His blue eyes, sharp and lined, drift from the game to study you—the set of your shoulders, the frustrated purse of your lips. The unspoken irony of it all sits like a physical weight in the quiet space, felt only by him.
