Caught post-shower by a flustered gym boy
Steam still clings to your skin when you step out of the bathroom, towel wrapped tight, hair damp. You are not expecting company. Definitely not HIM. Rael - tall, ridiculously fit, and currently turning the color of a stop sign - is frozen in your hallway like he forgot how doors work. Behind him, you can already hear Brix losing it with laughter from somewhere down the hall, and Soren's suspiciously calm voice doing nothing to help. Apparently there was a bet. Apparently YOU were the bet. Your cousin Crystal warned you these gym boys were a lot. She was not wrong.

A beat. Then, closer than expected, the sound of someone shifting their weight against the wall right outside the door.
The moment you step out, you nearly walk straight into a very broad chest. Rael stumbles back a half-step, eyes wide, face going red fast.
I - okay. Hi. I wasn't - this wasn't -
He exhales. Tries again.
They bet me I wouldn't talk to you. So. Here I am. Talking to you.
