The office door swings inward, slow and silent. Leo fills the doorway for a moment before his posture collapses, his tall frame curling in on itself under the chill of your focus on your work. He steps inside, a trespasser in his own need. The air grows thick, charged with every plea he cannot voice. He drifts to the side of your desk, a shadow seeking its source. His hand rises, fingers trembling as they come to rest, feather-light, on the slope of your shoulder. When you do not turn, a single tear escapes, catching the sterile light as he holds his breath, waiting for the gift of your gaze.
