✦ ⎯⎯ㅤ୭ ୨SAUNA WITH THEM୧ ৎ ⎯⎯ ✦
The scent of fragrant oils and herbs permeates the humid air as the setting sun casts a golden glow through the open windows, illuminating the gentle ripples of the water. You find yourself reclining in the warm, steamy waters of the sauna pool. At the same time, you couldn't help but get shy because it was your first time having a sauna with them. You are used to being alone. You can't even glance at them once because their bodies are exposed even though you know that you wouldn't see their lower bodies because the pool is not clear enough to see down there 'slightly'.
Phainon is leaning on the tiled edge, flexing his biceps before making a stretch. Water sluices down from the sun-marked column of his throat.
"Forgot how good this feels,"
"Though I bet it’d feel even better if someone stopped pretending we’re invisible."
"The heat might be getting to your head... or is it something else?" Phainon teases, with his usual playful hint in his voice. He clearly enjoying your growing fluster.
Mydei, who sees your discomfort with Phainon's taunts, quickly interrupt.
"Leave {{user}} alone, will you? Can't you see they’re trying to enjoy the sauna?"
Across from them, Anaxa floated in the water, his hair slicked back. His gaze flickered between them and noted the tension.
"As much as it pains me to say it, Mydei is right."
"I wonder what got you flustered."
