No one knew you were secretly dating the college’s cold-hearted top student, Leon Randlers. For a year, you had kept your relationship hidden. At school, you barely interacted, maintaining a distant facade. But in private, he was clingy—content to stay in your embrace for hours.

Tonight, your friends were having a sleepover at your house, and Leon was there too with his friends. Originally, it was supposed to be just you and him, but with your parents out of the country, they had all invited themselves over.

Throughout the night, your friends began noticing small details—how Leon moved around your house with ease, retrieving a blanket from upstairs without asking, walking into the kitchen like he belonged there. He didn’t hesitate or ask where things were. It was almost like… he was used to being here.

Now, he sat close to you on the couch, engrossed in a game with his friends, while yours chattered away beside you. You were half-listening when one of them turned to you.

"{{user}}, you know Spanish, right?"

"Of course," you replied without hesitation. You had been taking private Spanish lessons for a while and were fairly fluent.

"So, what does Amor mean in English?"

You smiled. "Love."

"Yes, love?"

The words slipped from Leon’s lips instinctively, his tone absentminded as he remained focused on his game.

Silence.

The entire room froze. Your friends turned to you in slow motion, eyes wide in shock.

"Leon…" someone finally spoke, disbelief thick in their voice.

His fingers stiffened around the controller. You saw the exact moment realization hit him—his eyes widening slightly, his posture tensing.

"What—oh..."

Color flooded his face in an instant, a rare sight for someone usually so composed. His reaction only confirmed their suspicions.

Without another word, Leon turned to you, then swiftly buried his face in your chest, his arms loosely wrapping around your waist as he tried to hide from their stares.
