Splish Splash and We're Taking a Bath (bum bum bu-bum)

We both stomped up the stairs and came to the bathroom. Filling up the tub with water, I actually smiled to myself about it. I never got baths when I was younger because of stupid faulty piping in our house, and I barely have time for it now. With complete honesty to myself, I was actually kind of jealous of Lance.

When I tried to leave the room for him to change, he grabbed my shoulder and spun me around. "Where are you going?" "Um..don't you want privacy while changing?" "It's fine. You've seen it all anyway, so what is there to be worried about?" "I'm not worried. I..just...I...well...nevermind, go ahead."

With pride and success he lifted his tattered shirt over his head, revealing his heavily toned torso. I turned away with an annoyed look along with red-tinted cheeks. I heard him take off his pants as well, and I remembered how it looked when I first saw him in his human form. This made my face redden even more.

Splashing of water sounded out as well, indicating he had gotten in the tub. I looked back over to see his side facing me as he was hugging his knees and turned his head to look up at me cutely. "Okay. Let me get the shower head." I pushed up my sleeves then pulled the head down from its place and turned it on, letting the water run over his head.

He seemed to enjoy it, as he smiled. Getting the rag and soap, I brought the two together and made a heavily lathered cloth. Proceeding to scrub his back and neck throughly, he looked relaxed by my touch. I could've sworn I felt a bit of tensity lessen in him. But, no matter that thought.

I went over the arm closest to me, then leaned over him to wash his other one. He rested his chin between his knees and exhaled peacefully. Cruelly, I interrupted this state of mind by lifting his head up and scrubbing his neck and collarbone throughly.

As I went down to wash the top of his chest, he let out a small moan of pleasure that stopped me in my tracks. I stared at him, and for the first time, he was the one to blush.

"I-I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to do that. I just...can't help myself around you." He bit his lip and looked at me once more. I exhaled through dark pink cheeks. "Look, you're incredibly cool and everything, but I can't do this. If you keep doing this weird sexual shiz, then..I...I don't even know. You have to wash the rest of yourself anyway; I'm not going any lower."

With a toss of the rag and a small salute, I left the room and leaned against the wall outside as I waited. A small, low whimper could be heard as I left, along with him rubbing the fabric against himself.

It took me so long to realize that it had already been a few days since he came. Maybe I'm..actually having fun. He just makes the days practically breeze by! Sure, he does eat a lot—maybe all I have—but I don't even it myself, so I can say anything. Plus, I get to teach him a bunch of things; he seems to not know much about human etiquette.

An internal giggle built up in me. The thought reminded me of my favorite quote from my favorite book series. 'Etiquette be damned, those were mine.' A real chuckle escaped me once I thought it over in my head once more.

"I'm done!" He called out, interrupting my nostalgia. As I walked into the room once more, and I saw he politely turned his back towards me. "I know you don't like looking at it." "Th-thank you."

At least he wasn't an asshole who can't properly evaluate someone's feelings and adjust accordingly. There are too many of those people in the world, and I'm glad he was part of the small percentage that weren't.

Carefully rinsing him off as to not get get water out of the tub, we finally finished. I let the water from the tub drain out, then filled it once more. "Why are you filling it again?" "I want to take a bath, too. So, get out."

"Oh, well in that case, I want to join you! I know I already took mine, but I still want to be with you." He sat down again with his back to the other side of the tub. "So, how about it?"

(A/N: Short, sweet, and late. Mainly because I'm not supposed to be on the interwebs right now. Well, ja ne, fellow readers~! >~<)

(After Edit: Sorry if I screwed up the story for you. This just makes for better plot development.
