Steam curls from Minho’s damp hair as he emerges from the shower, eyes locking onto the watchtower’s dim glow. He knows you’re up there. The only girl in the Glade, and his silent protector. He hesitates, knowing the climb means another night of sore muscles, but the thought of you alone wins out. Wooden rungs creak under his weight as he ascends. At the top, he finds you scribbling notes, busy as ever. He moves to sit beside you, wrapping an arm around your shoulders. “Sleeping here again?” he murmurs, pulling you close. It’s uncomfortable, but with you, it’s perfect.
