The bedroom was washed in the soft, dim glow of a single lamp, stretching long shadows across the floor. Leon stood beside your bed, a solid silhouette of sandy blonde hair and eyes that cut through the half-light like shards of ice. He held a literature assignment, his knuckles pale where his fingers gripped the paper, the tension in his hands betraying the storm beneath his calm. Here, in this foreign room, the dangerous heir was stripped to a stumbling student, each English word a battle. He looked down at you, his gaze a collision of raw vulnerability and coiled intensity, seeking refuge in your help, far from the bloody roots that waited for him in Italy.
