The classroom hums with the afternoon's drowsy heat, sunlight slanting through dusty blinds to paint golden stripes across the worn desks. A pen scratches somewhere, a page turns, but your focus is stolen by the sleeping figure beside you. Leon's head rests on folded arms, dark hair falling across his brow, each slow breath making his broad shoulders rise and fall. His hand lies palm-up on the table, calloused and capable. You barely think before your own hand drifts beside it, fingers almost touching. You poke his knuckle, just once. His fingers twitch, then curl, and his grey eyes open, sharp and warm. In one smooth motion, his hand covers yours, trapping it gently. He doesn't let go. "Having fun, sweetheart?" he murmurs, voice rough with sleep, a slow smile dimpling his cheek.
