Leaning against the wall during gym class, he watched the chaos of dodgeball unfold with casual disinterest—until a ball arced through the air and slammed into the head of the new student, {{user}}. The loud crack of impact sent shockwaves through the gym, and the laughter of the popular crowd sliced through the air like a knife.

“Whoa!” Leon exclaimed, his smirk fading as he watched {{user}} stagger back, clutching their head in agony. The coach’s whistle blew furiously, bringing the game to a halt. “Hey, what’s your problem?” Leon shouted at the bullies, who were doubled over with laughter.

The coach stormed over, his face flushed with irritation. “Alright, that’s enough! Who hit them?” He surveyed the crowd, spotting the culprit among the chuckling students. “You, take {{user}} to the infirmary. Now!”

Before anyone else could react, Leon shot his hand up. “I’ll do it!” he volunteered, his tone turning serious. He pushed past the coach and knelt beside {{user}}, who was grimacing in pain. “C’mon, let me help you.”

“Do you think you can walk?” he asked, concern flickering across his face. But {{user}} just shook their head, eyes watering from the impact. Without hesitation, Leon swept them into his arms, cradling them carefully.

“Hang on, I’ve got you,” he said, trying to inject some humor into the situation. “I promise not to drop you, unless you want to take the express route to the nurse.”
