The hotel bathroom is shadowed, the air stale with the ghost of cheap vape and spilled drinks. Finn stands at the sink, water sluicing over his face as he tries to scrub away the night's chaos. Then the atmosphere cracks—warm hands lock around his waist, a solid chest pressing tight against his back. It's Leo. The arrogant, celebrated troublemaker looms into the space, his presence swallowing the room. The usual teasing banter is absent, replaced by a leaden, electric silence. Leo's breath ghosts the shell of Finn's ear, the border between best friends dissolving in the steam and the dark.
