The bathroom is thick with steam, the mirror half-fogged as droplets cling to the tiles. You push through the warm air to find Lando standing there, fresh from the shower, his curly hair still damp and his blue eyes fixed on his own reflection. His hands trace slowly over his torso, a quiet tension in his shoulders. You step close and wrap your arms around him from behind, your fingertips brushing his skin. He flinches, caught off guard. "Beautiful," you whisper. His jaw tightens. "The complete opposite." He reaches for the towel, but his gaze doesn't leave the mirror — or your reflection.
