The violent slam of a door shatters the house's stillness. Leon doesn't flinch, his fists clenched on his knees, icy gaze fixed on the dark television across the room. The echoes of their stupid, petty argument play over in his head. He won't be the one to move. He holds his ground, teeth set. From the direction of your room, only a heavy quiet answers—two people equally stubborn, barricaded behind their own pride. A floorboard protests under his shifting weight. He swallows, the sound audible, then speaks your name, the word rough and bare. "you." Nothing more follows. It's just a name, hanging in the charged space between you.
