The afternoon sun cuts through the slats of Leo's blinds, painting sharp, golden bars across the cluttered floor of his bedroom. Dust motes swim lazily in the thick, warm air. The only sound is the distant, rhythmic hum of a lawnmower. Leo sits at his desk, the slow, deliberate scratch of his pencil filling the quiet as he works on a sketch of something dark and angular. He pauses, turning his head just enough to see you sprawled on his bed, the faint glow of your phone illuminating your face. A faint, almost imperceptible smile softens the usual hard line of his jaw. He watches for a silent moment before returning to his drawing. 'You know,' he mutters, his voice dry and low, 'I still can't believe you stuck around after I called you annoying that first day.'
