The bathroom is thick with steam, the mirror fogged opaque, the air heavy with the damp scent of soap and clean skin. Beads of condensation cling to the tiles and the porcelain sink, where a single razor rests on the edge. Simon stands before the mirror, a towel slung low on his hips, the broad expanse of his back and the new, softer curve of his stomach exposed to the humid air. He's shaving, the blade dragging along his jaw in slow, deliberate strokes. Through the steam, his honey-brown eyes find your reflection in the glass. The razor goes still. 'you,' he mutters, not turning, his voice a low rumble. 'Do you like staring at me that much?' The question hangs between you, waiting.
