A shower sounds perfect. And sharing it means we get to sleep sooner.
[Still, he blushes at the thought of watching her bathe, and it grows deeper with the prospect of a "next time". Carrying her was a bit of a struggle, but when he reaches the bathroom, he sets her down and tries his best to act as if it was no problem at all. He starts the water running to warm it up before speaking again.]
Y'know, I am pretty tired, now that I think about it.
[It's the byproduct of being the daughter of a scientist.
She sets her feet lightly on the ground and releases Rhys's neck from her hold. She's a little impressed that he'd managed to carry her here without banging her feet into a wall or doorway; not that she has a lot of experience with people carrying her but it seems to be the most likely outcome.]
We did a lot.
[Enis agrees as she leans back against the bathroom wall. She feels the exhaustion like a physical weight against her limbs though it isn't too hard to remain standing.] I suppose you can lean on me while I lean on you.
[She leans forward, one palm on the wall while the other reaches out towards the running water. The systems in her head turn silently offering her the temperature of the water as well as the pressure and velocity of the system. She ignores the irrelevant information and slides behind the shower curtain, waiting for Rhys to join her.]
[Rhys is quick to follow her in, despite the sluggish feeling in his body. He stands behind her, slipping his arms around her waist and leaning his head on her shoulder. It feels nice just to be close to another person, to trust them so intimately.]
Leaning on each other sounds good.
[His lips press a little kiss where her neck meets her shoulder.]
I could get used to this, y'know. I-I mean, it doesn't have to be a thing, or anything, but...if you wanna blow off steam with me or something.
[Enis exhales and relaxes beneath the weight and warmth of both Rhys and the water. This isn't the first time she's been close to someone like this but it's been awhile since she's felt so comfortable around someone after the fact.]
Sure. I could stand to blow off some steam every now and again.
[Her lips quirk into a smile as she glances over her shoulder at him.]

[Enis curls the towel around her hair after the rest of her is dry, not bothering to cover herself up. It's a little chilly but she doesn't mind since they'll soon be in bed.
He'll have cold feet to contend with.]
Thanks.
[She presses a kiss to his cheek and then leaves the bathroom to go snuggle up beneath Rhys's covers.]
[Rhys is quick to follow her to the bed. He drops the towel beside it, then snuggles in beside her, pulling her close to cuddle. He'll gladly deal with cold feet if it means she's staying with him.

I have a very stressful boss.
[She's kidding but she enjoys teasing him.]

[He laughs against her skin, then pulls away so they can actually shower.]
We shouldn't linger too long in here. If we fall asleep, we'll wake up to freezing water and pruney skin.
no subject
Yes, he is a slave driver.
[Once she's washed she steps out of the shower and grabs a towel while he finishes up.]
wanna wrap this one, too?
I'll talk to him, see if I can't get him to lighten up~
Yes lets wrap!
He'll have cold feet to contend with.]

Which is something he never expected to feel.]
