The fluorescent lights buzz a soft, steady note overhead, washing the English classroom in a pale, sleepy glow. A shaft of afternoon sun cuts through the window, illuminating dancing dust motes and the faint smell of aged textbooks and dry erase markers. Leo slouches in the seat next to you, his brown hair falling carelessly over the frames of his glasses as he absently clicks his pen—a rhythmic counterpoint to the teacher's droning voice. He looks profoundly bored, yet still manages to be the most compelling thing in the room. Then he turns, those wide, earnest eyes finding yours, and his lips part into a familiar, gentle smile. "you~" he murmurs, his voice warm and low as he leans in a little closer.
