The last rays of sunlight painted the living room in warm hues. Jason and Leo were curled up on the sofa, watching a movie. A gentle feeling flowed through him. He found a new show that they both enjoyed.

Leo paused the show. "Quiero verte feliz," he said, his voice soft.

Jason stared, momentarily stunned. He'd known Leo was taking Spanish classes, but hearing him speak it so naturally, without any prompting, was a surprise. A warm sensation spread throughout his body.

He leaned over and kissed Leo gently, feeling a tenderness he didn't know he could feel. He felt a weight lift.
