Pale morning light cuts through the slats of the blinds in Leo's apartment, painting stripes across the ceiling of a room that isn't yours. The distant drone of a lawnmower mixes with the rich scent of coffee seeping from the kitchen. You shift in the guest bed, the last threads of a vivid dream still wrapped around your consciousness—a ceremony, shared laughter, Leo's hand firmly holding yours. The door whispers open, and there he stands, hair sleep-mussed, a shy, hopeful curve on his lips, a mug in each hand. 'Morning, sleepyhead. You were talking in your sleep. Anything you'd like to share?' he asks, his voice a soft murmur, his gaze lingering on yours a heartbeat longer than friendship usually allows.
