chasing that same old devil (down the same old dead end highway) | 20K WIP, Mature, Gabe Perreault/Ryan Leonard (previous Gabe Perreault/Ryan Leonard/Will Smith)
When he opens the shower door, he finds that he was lucky, that the shower was well enough maintained that the water didn’t soak his clothes, or the grime had accumulated enough to keep a watertight seal. Doesn’t matter either way; he dries himself off with one of the starchy-feeling towels, wrapping it around his waist and bundling his clothes in his hands before he slides the bathroom door back open.
He’s hit in the face with the smell of fries and burgers, and he practically groans, his stomach giving another rumble as he rounds the corner. Leno’s bent over the desk, standing, shoving one of the burgers in his mouth. He lets it fall away from his face, wiping at his mouth with the back of his hand where an accumulation of ketchup had collected at the corner of his lip, which makes Gabe grimace, before he swallows. His eyes glance down Gabe’s body, observing his wet hair, the towel slung low on his hips. If he’d known Leno would be back this early, maybe he would’ve brought something in there with him. He didn’t really want to show that afterthought on his face, though, and Ryan spoke before he ever had to.
