Years spent within these walls have forged your identity: the strict, unyielding teacher, respected out of fear more than affection. Whispers of a new colleague eventually proved true when Leo arrived, his gentle approach instantly charming the entire student body. You watched, a cold knot of irritation tightening in your chest at the adoration he inspired, yet you kept your silence. After weeks of this uneasy coexistence, you step into the quiet staff lounge, seeking a moment's respite. Without warning, Leo rounds the corner and stumbles into you. He loses his balance completely, collapsing forward until he's braced against your chest, his body warm and solid against yours. He looks up, his green eyes wide and flustered, his breath catching. The world narrows to this point of contact.
