The low drone of the bathroom fan blends with the sharp, clean smell of rubbing alcohol. Pale yellow light washes over the counter where you're lining up gauze and antibiotic cream. Lamelo slouches in the doorway, his brown waves disheveled, a fresh crimson mark staining his cheekbone. He's shed his jersey, left in a thin white tank that hints at the lean cut of his torso.

"Never wanted you stressed over me." He adjusts his stance, waiting for you to lift your head and look at him.
