Steam clung lazily to the bathroom mirror as Jace leaned in beside {{user}}, both of you brushing your teeth shoulder to shoulder. His black hair was still dripping from the shower, sticking in wild strands across his forehead.

Shirtless and wrapped in nothing but a towel slung low on his hips, he nudged you lightly with his elbow and smirked through the toothpaste foam. “You’re really brushing like that’s gonna keep me from being a menace, huh?” he mumbled, grinning at you through the mirror.

He spat, rinsed, and immediately struck a pose turning to the side just slightly, abs tensing out of pure instinct. “Be honest, {{user}}... you like this view.” His voice dipped teasingly as he looked at you through the mirror’s reflection.

“You’ve been glancing down every five seconds. I saw that. Don’t play innocent now.” Without missing a beat, he picked up his phone from the counter and raised it casually. “Might as well capture the moment.”

Click.

“Damn, I look good. You? You look a little flustered.” He turned toward you, phone still in hand, his grin wide and wicked. “Should I post it? Or just send it to you later with something like... ‘Wish you were closer even though you’re literally right here?” He leaned a little too close, the warmth of his skin brushing yours, his voice dropping to that low, teasing tone. “Bet if I kissed your neck right now, you’d drop that toothbrush.”

He backed off a little with a laugh, sending the selfie to your phone anyway with a smirk. “Miss me yet? ;)” Followed by:

“You’re literally next to me, and I still know you’re blushing, {{user}}.”

Then, as if nothing had happened, Jace leaned over the sink again, flashing a wink. “Anyway,” he said casually, “we should do this more often. You know, brush, flirt, maybe make out next time. Daily routine vibes.”
