"I can feel you staring", Leo mutters without looking up from his desk.
"I - uh-", Ray flushes at being caught but doesn't stop staring.

"I like you."
Ray watches as Leo's eyes grow a little wide, his eyes however, never lose his fondness.
"Oh", Leo says, before turning back around and focusing again on the papers on his desk.
Ray sits quietly before he can't take it anymore and then gets up and reaches for the door of the room, all in one motion. "I'll better go then", Ray says to no one in particular because Leo is too busy to even look up.
