Steam snaked through the cracked door and crept into the hall. Teddy stood, towel in hand, picturing the water exploding from the showerhead and stabbing at Scorpius' chilled skin. His own prickled and grew hot.

He lifted a hand, knocked, and his knuckles came back wet with condensation. Absently, he rubbed them dry against the crotch of his jeans as the waterfall ebbed to a trickle, then a slow drip. "Yes?"

"I've a towel for you."

"Thank you." The door edged open another few inches, and a hand emerged, nails bitten to the quick. Bruises dotted the wrist.

Teddy's fingers dug into the thick terrycloth. Furious, he dropped the towel and took a firm grip of the pale arm.

Scorpius gasped. "Teddy—"

"He hurt you?"

He counted twenty drips of water before Scorpius answered. "You'll have to be more specific." He stayed huddled behind the door.

Nostrils flaring, Teddy elbowed into the room. Choking equally on steam and guilt, he took Scorpius by the shoulders, for once unaware of his nudity. "Could you just—could you do something for me? Give me one thing?"

"A gift?" goaded Scorpius, smile wry and eyes bloodshot.

"Yes," snapped Teddy. "Stop acting like a whore."
