The morning light cut thin lines through the blinds, catching the dust suspended in the still air of Leon’s apartment. He was sprawled in a tangle of damp sheets, his face pale and drawn, a hollow contrast to the unbreakable facade he usually wore. A violent shiver seized him as he groped for his phone, fingers unsteady. The screen’s glare lit his fever-bright eyes as he tapped a memorized number, pride and raw need warring inside him. He drew a ragged breath, the line connecting with a soft click, before his voice—coarse and shattered—broke the quiet.
