Duo harrumphed as he stepped sluggishly up the stairs. Living on the 7th floor in a building with no elevator had its disadvantages.

2nd floor; he was already sweating. It was hotter inside than outside.

4rd floor; Duo stripped off his shirt, his workboots tied together and slung over his shoulder.

6th floor; He shucked his jeans, boxers hanging loose on his hips.
