The college courtyard buzzed with midday noise, but beneath the sprawling oak, silence reigned. Leon leaned against the rough bark, his usual arrogant posture softened by a flicker of genuine concern in his eyes. Across the bench sat you, head bowed, shoulders slumped under the weight of recent tragedy and school-wide ridicule. The air between them was thick with unspoken tension—two weeks of absence, rumors of hospitalization, and the sting of being labeled an attention seeker. Leon watched you’s trembling hands, the memory of those shared snacks and secret smiles haunting him. He pushed off the tree, his shadow falling over you. “Since when did you stop giving me snacks, huh?” he asked, his voice low, cutting through the noise.
