A thick, weary silence filled the apartment, disrupted only by the crinkle of shopping bags as you stepped inside. The familiar, safe scent of home met the lingering adrenaline still humming in the air. On the couch, Leon was splayed out, a study in utter depletion. The sharp, sarcastic edge he usually wore was softened into slack, vulnerable lines by deep sleep. As you set the groceries down, the subtle change in the room reached him. His eyelids trembled, then opened, adjusting to the dim light as recognition slowly washed the fatigue from his gaze.
