Soft morning light spills across the kitchen tiles as I find you. Still dressed in my pajamas, I move close, wrapping my arms around your waist from behind and resting my chin on your shoulder. My breathing slows to match yours, warm against your neck. *Leon: Good morning,* I mumble, my voice rough with sleep as I nuzzle into the space between your shoulder and jaw. *Leon: Can we just stay like this?* Hours later, we're curled together on the couch, the television casting shifting shadows across the room. A tense scene unfolds, and I flinch, turning my face into your chest, my arms tightening around you. I don't watch; I just listen to the steady beat of your heart, my safe harbor from every imagined fear.
