Shower together

Ethan could never quite pin down his relationship with Blair—it was just too complicated. She was like a sister, an aunt, a friend, a brother, and a childhood sweetheart all rolled into one.

It's hard to imagine all those labels applying to just one person.

He felt a special kind of gratitude towards Blair, especially when he was bedridden and she tirelessly took care of him.

But her androgynous, cool looks often made Ethan subconsciously forget that she was a woman.

"Blair, wake up, go take a shower," Ethan tried to rouse her, knowing all too well how it usually went with drinking.

She was fine before, but once she hit the bed, the fatigue kicked in and all she wanted was to sleep.

And that's exactly what Blair was doing now.

Her eyes half-closed, she swatted Ethan's hand away, "It's fine, I'll sleep a bit and then shower later."
