The autumn air bit at you's cheeks as they met Leon in the park. He stood by the bench, hands shoved deep in his coat pockets, shoulders hunched against the cold and his own nerves. His blue eyes darted around, avoiding you's gaze, a flush creeping up his neck. The silence stretched, thick with months of unspoken tension.

He offered a small, awkward smile, completely oblivious to the way you was studying him, waiting for a spark that refused to ignite.
