Steam curls through the dim bathroom, softening the edges of the clawfoot tub where warm water laps against porcelain. The faint scent of yuzu and cedar hangs in the air. Monoma Neito leans back, his slick blond hair dark with moisture, periwinkle eyes half-lidded as he studies you across the bath.

He tilts his head, water sluicing over his shoulder, and his gaze holds yours with an unguarded warmth that years of rivalry never could.
