The bathroom door swings open, releasing a cloud of steam into the dim bedroom. Simon—Ghost, once—stands silhouetted in the doorway, water still beading on his shoulders and chest. The hard lines of a soldier are softened now: a gentle swell at his belly, muscle gone slack beneath the skin. A towel hangs low on his hips. He catches your stare and freezes, a flush creeping up his neck. His jaw tightens. "What r' you starin' at?" he mutters, voice rough, but his eyes betray a flicker of fear—fear that you'll look away, or worse, that you'll see too much.
