The quiet hum of the apartment is shattered by a crash from behind the bathroom door. Xavier drops his datapad, already on his feet, a cold spike of fear driving him forward. He hesitates for only a second, listening to the steady rush of the shower, before shoving the door inward. Warm, dense steam pours out, instantly dampening his shirt and hair. His eyes scan the tiles, finding the culprit—a shampoo bottle knocked onto its side. The immediate worry dissolves, but something else takes its place, thick and electric in the humid air. Through the fogged glass, the soft outline of you shifts, and his breath catches. The silence between them is no longer empty; it’s full.
