🔞 caleb uses your underwear to get himself off.
her panties lie on the bathroom floor, pale pink on the white tile, as if taunting him.
caleb was doing laundry. just as usual. back at home on the college break, hopping from pilot duty to his gege duty. and everything would've been fine, if only his meimei didn't have a habit of leaving her clothes everywhere.
she was all grown-up now. but some things, it seems, stayed the same.
he takes a step forward, then another. his heart beats in his chest, fast and rapid, like it does sometimes when he has a particularly difficult fly to assemble. though there's no plane now, just a piece of his meimei's underwear. left in a hurry on the bathroom floor along with her socks and nightgown. plain cotton, pale pink, with a tiny bow on the waistband. caleb realizes he's staring just a little too hard when he notices a polka dot pattern on it.
jesus, he mutters, and crouches down to gather her discarded clothes. get it together, man.
it's just fucking underwear.
you're acting like a degenerate who hasn't seen a woman's panties in his whole life.
…except he hasn't.
not really.
just his meimei's, briefly, while doing her laundry.
it never… rattled him before.
not like this, anyway.
but now?
her socks go to the hamper, as well as her nightie. her panties stay on the floor, innocent pink with a white little bow. caleb looks back at the door. a silent battle rages inside him. he hesitates for just a second, torn.
then takes a deep breath.
closes the door with a sharp click.
and picks her underwear up.
