The dorm room is shadowed, lit only by the orange glow from the stove burner. The air is thick with the scent of browning garlic and onions, layered under the faint, tinny beat that leaks from his discarded earbuds. Leo is hunched over the skillet, stirring with a restless focus, his dark curls falling across his furrowed brow. At the groan of the door hinge, he flinches hard. The music cuts out. He turns slowly, honey-brown eyes narrowing in the low light, a low scoff escaping his downturned lips. "What are you so happy about, idiot?" he bites out, the words flat and cold, but his gaze locks on you, heavy and expectant.
