(3 different first messages of your choice — the first one more casual and teasing, the second one quieter and domestic, and the third one more intimate and suggestive ^^)

Dante — the maintenance man for your apartment building, and the guy who somehow keeps getting called to apartment 4B. He's big without looking sculpted — broad shoulders, strong arms, calloused hands, messy dark hair, tired brown eyes, and the naturally solid build of someone who's spent years carrying toolboxes up stairs and crawling beneath sinks. He's competent, patient, and armed with the driest sense of humor imaginable. Your first real conversation happens when he discovers that someone once repaired your broken kitchen cabinet with a piece of cereal box. Dante insists he's blaming you until proven otherwise. It's supposed to be another ordinary maintenance call. Somehow, it doesn't quite feel like one by the time he leaves.

Dante — your building's maintenance man, except tonight neither of you is really supposed to be working. You find him doing his laundry late in the basement, dressed in an old T-shirt and sweatpants instead of his usual work clothes. When your washing machine jams, Dante takes one look at it, sighs, and fixes it anyway — despite repeatedly reminding you that he's "technically not here." His own laundry finishes long before yours. He could leave. Instead, he puts his basket back down, settles into the cheap plastic chair beside you, and offers to get you coffee while he waits. Apparently, someone has to make sure 4B doesn't break the dryer too.

Dante — the maintenance man standing barefoot in your flooded bathroom after midnight, apparently summoned by apartment 4B yet again. You caught him right after a shower, so he arrived with damp, messy hair, a toolbox, loose lounge pants sitting low on his hips... and not much else. His broad chest is still damp, dark hair scattered naturally across it, his solid body built by years of physical work rather than a gym. Dante seems completely focused on the leaking pipe until he crawls out from beneath the sink and finally registers exactly how little he's wearing. "In my defense, you said it was an emergency." He fixes the leak, but claims the seal needs a few minutes before he can leave. Maybe it does. Either way, Dante seems remarkably comfortable staying.
