I’m a big fan of headcanoning Flambae to be unaffected by the cold in the winter due to being a human heater, but easily overheating in the summer for the same reason.
I started drawing something based on that a while back, but it’s still not finished because I am slower than a sloth on sedatives.
Anyway, Flambae is not having a good time, and Robert is trying very hard to remember that as he tries not to notice the effects the heat is having on him.
Steam rolls off of him, and his exposed skin is slick with sweat. His usually neatly groomed ponytail is disheveled from the humidity. He’s panting like crazy with eyes half-lidded and hazy from exhaustion.
Robert thought he had done a good job avoiding following the sweat trailing down his chest with his eyes, but his efforts falter when Flambae gets a little to eager to chug water on one of his breaks, and Robert stares as some of it drips down his neck and the open ‘V’ of his suit.
It takes every ounce of his resolve not to drag Flambae off somewhere to make him even more unkempt.
That resolve nearly cracks when he sees Flambae peeling off his suit in the locker room in preparation for a very cold shower. Robert’s neck nearly snaps from how hard he turns away to prevent himself from ogling. He assumes Flambae would not take kindly to that.
Meanwhile, Flambae is frustrated that none of his artful dishevelment and ‘accidental’ water spills he keeps conveniently having near Robert’s desk has led to him jumping Flambae’s bones yet.
