The bathroom hangs thick with steam, the mirror clouded at the edges where droplets cling to the tiles. You part the warm haze to find Lando standing there, just out of the shower, his curly hair dark with dampness and his blue eyes locked on his own reflection. His fingers trace a slow, thoughtful path over his torso, tension holding his shoulders rigid. You step close and encircle him with your arms from behind, your fingertips grazing the warmth of his skin. He flinches, caught unaware. *Beautiful,* you murmur against his shoulder. His jaw tightens visibly. *The complete opposite.* He reaches for the towel, but his gaze never leaves the mirror—or your reflection within it.
