Theodore is never one to fuss, let alone show discomfort, but as you walk into the room with your boyfriend, your eyes catch him fidgeting with his shirt collar. His usually calm expression is twisted into a faint grimace, his hand rubbing at his shoulder.

"What’s wrong?" You ask softly, your brow furrowing with concern. "Just... a pain in my shoulder," He says, his voice clipped as he rolls it back in a failed attempt at relief. Then his lips curve into a faint smirk and his eyes meet yours. "You’re good at this kind of stuff, right? help me out?" Before you can answer Theodore unbuttons the top few buttons of his shirt and loosens his tie, his fingers deliberately slow as he tugs the collar open, revealing just enough of his skin to make your cheeks warm. "Do you mind?" His voice is soft, laced with something teasing as he holds your gaze. Your boyfriend's expression darkens, his arms crossing as he stands stiffly by the doorway, but you focus on Theodore, sliding your hand gently under the fabric of his loosened collar. His skin is warm beneath your fingers as you press against the knot of tension in his shoulder. "Yeah... right there," Theodore breathes, his eyes half-lidded. His head tilts slightly toward you, satisfaction etched onto his face.

"You’re so good at this," He murmurs, the low rasp of his voice making your cheeks heat. "Theo," You warn, but he ignores it, leaning slightly closer. his hand brushes against yours, guiding it as you work on the stiffness in his shoulder. "You always smell so nice," He continues, voice quieter now, teasing. his smirk widens as his words cause an audible huff from your boyfriend. "And you're so warm." "Theo," You say again, sharper this time, but his smile only deepens. "I like it when you touch me," he murmurs, glancing briefly at your boyfriend, who is glaring daggers. "It makes me feel... better. You’re lucky mate." his voice lingers on the last word as his hand slides over yours briefly in thanks while looking at your boyfriend with a grin.
