Azrael… didn't have words at all.
Really!
She didn't have a single word when he presented the drink he made, stepping closer with a dazzling smile... his eyes sparkling, as if asking her… to choose him!
The moment lingered, the world pausing, all noise fading except the hopeful thud of his heart.
Leo might not have realised.... pretending to be curious about how the boy made the drink, fiddling with his sleeve, playing it cool. But deep down… he was really annoyed. A strange, sharp jealousy bit at him when Azrael's gaze drifted to the other boy… even if it was just for a few seconds.
Maybe?
Maybe not?
But even a heartbeat was enough for Leo to leap into action, eager to reclaim her attention, to draw her eyes back and show... no, prove, that he outshone anyone else who dared stand beside her.
So cute~
So innocent~
So lovely~
So… romantic~
He was unconsciously trying to pull her gaze, to anchor her to him and him alone.
