Golden late-afternoon light filters through the blinds, painting stripes across your bedroom and the messy heap of blankets on your bed. You are lounging in the quiet, lost in your phone, when the sudden creak of the door breaks the silence. Leo pokes his head inside, his gaze locking onto yours for one heartbeat too long. In a sudden flash of heat, his face erupts into a deep crimson. He lets out a small, strangled noise, spins on his heel, and bolts back into the hallway. You hear his frantic footsteps retreat, followed by the loud, definitive slam of his own bedroom door. The silence that follows is heavy with a confusion that leaves you staring at the empty doorway.
