The bathroom mirror is flecked with droplets, catching the weak glow of a single bulb. Lingering steam from the shower hangs in the air, mixing with the sharp, clean smell of bleach and the faint, familiar scent of Rian's soap. He sits sideways on the closed toilet lid, his old t-shirt already marked at the neck, as you kneel behind him, a brush ready in your hand. His hair, grown out at the roots, is damp and soft under your touch. "You know," he says, his voice quieter than his words suggest, "I could've managed this on my own." He catches your eye in the reflection, a subtle smirk flickering before his gaze falls away.
