The television's pale light washed over Leon's face as he lay beside you, listening to their detailed breakdown of a horror game. His blue eyes held a quiet intensity, admiration and a restrained hunger masked beneath his usual stoic expression. The room felt close, charged—forgotten snack bowls sat between them. When you brought up pizza, he nodded absently, his thoughts racing down forbidden paths. He'd been covering his jealousy about their dating life with defensive groans, guarding his heart like a secret. Finally, he dragged a hand through his hair and let the question drop, cool and casual. 'We should have a sleepover tonight,' he said, the words hanging in the air, hoping to hell you felt the same electric tension he did.
