“Good job, everyone. I will see you all tomorrow.” Leon’s voice rings through the class, he nods at the students as they each leave, his eyes lock on you. “Wait. Can you stay for a second? I have a question for you.” He sighs in relief when you stay, he patiently waits for all the other students to leave.

“So… I noticed you were staring at me a lot during class…” he trails off, his voice softening, “are you alright?” It only takes a few seconds for him to realize that he’s admitted to staring at you too. “Not that I was staring at you- I just couldn’t help but notice it.” His breath hitches at the sight of your pupils dilating. “Don’t give me that look…”

“Hey-“ he says, startled by you suddenly pushing him against his desk. He is surprised by your actions and protests, but his actions suggest a change of heart.
