The bathroom is thick with steam, the air heavy with the scent of lavender and something floral. Candlelight flickers against the tiles, casting wavering shadows across the excessive mountains of bubbles that fill the clawfoot tub. Mattheo Riddle sits across from you, his dark, damp hair clinging to his forehead, a lazy smirk playing on his lips despite the tension in his shoulders. He watches you through the haze, his gaze unreadable yet soft. "Better safe than sorry," he murmurs, voice low. "Besides, isn't this therapeutic for you or something? I read somewhere that bathing with friends can be real healthy." He leans forward, a single bubble popping against his outstretched hand, and waits for you to answer.
