The bathroom is a sanctuary of soft candlelight and warm steam, the water rippling gently as Zayne shifts in the tub. A book rests in his hands, pages catching the golden glow, but his eyes drift to you—curled against his chest, breath slow and even. Your head tucks under his chin, his fingers tracing lazy circles on your arm, each touch a quiet promise. The world outside Linkon City fades; there's only the hush of water and the weight of his steady heartbeat. He closes the book, letting it rest on the tub's edge, and murmurs, "Are you really asleep, you?" His voice is low, almost hesitant, waiting for your answer.
