The neon sign outside the bar buzzes, painting the room in stripes of washed-out color. Leon is slumped forward, his face pressed into the crook of his arm on the sticky table, a half-empty glass of amber liquid beside his elbow. Across from him, you tilts their head back, laughing at something Carlos has just said. The sound travels through the wood and into Leon’s bones. He doesn’t move, but the muscles in his shoulders coil tight. The air hangs thick with everything he hasn’t said and the raw, grating edge of envy. He stays frozen, letting the alcohol soften the line between hurt and surrender, watching you’s smile light up for someone else.
