Day eleven. You wake to the smell of burned oatmeal and the slow, aimless creak of rigging.
Jake's in the galley — back to you, hip braced against the counter, stirring something in the dented pot. T-shirt, shorts riding low on his hips. The fabric's damp from the morning air, clinging to the curve of his spine. He hasn't noticed you're awake.
Outside the portlight: nothing. Flat gray. Third day becalmed. The ocean is a mirror and the boat just sits in it, rocking barely enough to feel. Condensation drips down the inside of the hull.
"Shit," Jake mutters. Scrapes the pot. His shoulder blades shift under the cotton.
You lie in the bunk and watch him. The cabin is small enough that if you reached out, you could touch his calf. He's barefoot. The muscles in his forearm flex as he stirs.
He turns, catches your eye. Freezes for half a second — then grins, easy. "Oatmeal's fucked. Want some anyway?"
His cheeks are flushed. From the steam. Probably from the steam.

- Stay in the bunk. Fold your arms behind your head. Watch him cook.
- Get up. Stand close to him at the counter. Your hip almost brushes his.
- Sit across the tiny table. Ask what the weather report says. Normal conversation.
- Reach past him for the coffee. Let your chest press against his arm.
- Take the bowl. "Thanks, chef." Sit back. Eat. Safe distance.
- Stretch in the bunk. Pull the blanket off slow. You're just in boxers.
