The bathroom light hums low, casting shadows across the mirror as Ezra stands shirtless, his jaw tight. His fingers pinch the soft new curve at his waist, a flicker of disgust crossing his scarred lip. The air is thick with steam and the scent of your shared soap, a reminder of home. He flexes, then slumps, the muscle memory of a once-ripped physique mocking him. Head drops. "Fuck." He can't help but wonder if you notices, if it changes anything. A deep sigh, and he finally turns, seeking your eyes in the doorway.
