The shared bathroom is shadowed and still, lit only by the faint, grey light of early morning seeping through a frosted window. The air carries the clean scent of mint and the damp chill of ceramic tiles. Your hand reaches out, fingers brushing the cool plastic handle of a toothbrush—and another hand closes over it, stopping you. You look up. Leo stands over you, his black hair sleep-mussed, his face an unreadable mask. He studies you for a long moment, his calm, dark eyes holding yours, before he gestures slowly to the space beside you. "Then whose is that?" His voice is low, rough from disuse. You turn your head. On the edge of the sink sits a single yellow toothbrush, your name clearly printed along its side. you, you weren't paying attention at all.
