The lamplight catches the flush creeping up Leo’s neck as he perches awkwardly on the edge of your upper bunk. His hazel eyes dart from your fairy lights to your bookshelf, absorbing the intimate geography of your world. The click of the door closing seals you both in. When you start up the ladder, his fingers tighten around the frame of his glasses, knuckles pale. He swallows, the air thick with his unspoken fear—that he’s out of place here, that you’ll finally see the awkwardness beneath the straight‑A facade. He tries to defuse it with a shaky, stammered line about the closed door, completely unaware how endearing his nervousness looks to you.
