Non-Dream Three - Hot, steamy shower~

[14th_musician]

Continued from hereHe's pleasantly surprised to find that the door to his room has been repaired. He hadn't expected anyone to take time to repair it-- was planning to move into another room, actually. But he won't complain. The inside is spotless, looks the same as always.. except there's the lingering smell of bleach and a bed without sheets

Following him inside he takes the offered towel and wonders if he should pat himself down now or wait until after their shower...

"..." Silent, he cast a look up at the Fourteenth, waiting for him to take the initiative.

It doesn't matter, really. Fourteenth doesn't bother with drying off before a shower. Nor does he bother with modesty, because once that door is shut, he's taking off his soaked coat and shirt and tossing them into the hamper. Oddly enough, he's keeping the glove on his right hand and not on the Innocence one.

And in case Lavi ever wondered-- yes, Noahs are gray-skinned on more than just their face and hands.

He hadn't wondered, but now he knew regardless. Following sit he stripped as well, hardly modest despite everything. There were still a few remaining scars, small but there, from Tyki. He also kept on his eye patch.

Striding past the 14th he moved into the bathroom.

He strips off the rest of his clothes and follows Lavi, flicking on the light and heading for the one-person shower stall. It could probably fit two people if they're careful.

Fourteenth is curious about those scars, but he won't ask about them.. yet. He does have his own scar, after all. For now, he'll just turn on the water and get it to the right temperature, leaving the shower curtain open until Lavi steps in.

His eyelid droops as he lays next to the Fourteenth, an arm slung lazily over the other man's side. Sure, he hurts, but it doesn't compare to the first time he experienced this sort of thing. He doesn't want to move away from this-

...Guilty pleasure? It feel strange to want to be warmed by another person like this. His head rested underneath the Fourteenth's chin, breathing in the smell of his sheets.

It'll probably hurt more in a few hours, for both of them. Usually does. But Fourteenth would say it's well worth it.

He makes a content hum, hand coming up to run through Lavi's hair slowly, deliberately, as though to memorize the texture. He's always managed to find interest in the simplest things.

..Such as why Lavi would choose a Noah like himself.

Lavi had been through worse. The hand in his hair makes him give off a soft sigh impulsively. If he asked Lavi why he wouldn't be able to answer. Maybe it was his exotic nature or maybe it was something more. Affection worked in strange ways.

He kept his other eye closed, his eye patch having fallen off during their scene. He was peaceful like this and found no motivation to go looking for it.

[14th_musician]

It's like a dream to the Noah, the way Lavi is pressing against his body. Not the fact that it's Lavi in particular, but.. the contact in general.

He can't even remember the last time he was able to hold someone in his arms like this or otherwise.

Lavi's revealed but still closed eye catches his attention. He runs a finger vertically over it, as though tracing a wound that should be there, but isn't. Is there anything there, or...?
