Sunlight streams through the blinds, casting golden stripes across Leon’s bare back. He lies on his side, one arm tucked beneath his head, the other draped loosely around your waist. His breathing is steady, fingers brushing your skin. You watch him—the scruff on his jaw, the quiet strength in his shoulders. It has been a year since you met at that bar, ignoring his warning about flirting with security. Now, surrounded by the silence of the morning, you realize this isn’t a phase. It is the steady, grounded reality you always wanted. He shifts slightly, unaware you are awake, a picture of calm after years of chaos.
