But it's quite nice to not be the only talker in a thread, it makes things less awkward, if longer...XD

Oh, man, same here. It can be really exhausting sometimes, but there's usually so much I want to say that I wind up writing comments twice as long as the other person and then feeling badly because I really just can't shut up. XD

I can't quite imagine Jun sharing his bath, because he needs some sort of private space and the bathroom seems to give him that,

This probably makes me a hypocrite after writing questionable bathtime antics, but I actually agree about this. I-- I think you could get him to share his bath as long as he was given a choice about it? If you just barge right in, he'll get pissed about it because Jun's got a very strong sense of personal space, especially when in the shower. But if you let him have a fully-clothed choice about whether or not to join the idiot in the bath/shower, then I can potentially see him agreeing to it, especially with Aiba, who he tends to be very weak to.

(This is setting aside what I think actually happened. Because, yeah. I know they're not actually having tons of bathtub porn outside of my own imagination, but I do think that Aiba's bathing habits almost had to be influenced by Jun. He's said that Jun's influenced him in other ways--like how Jun's gotten him to consider his own actions more before just leaping into things--so this is within the realm of possibility, too. And it's just... it's such a Jun thing and I can see it on a gen level. Jun and Aiba both tend to react to stress the same way, so why not try Matsujun's method of relaxing and then find that he enjoys it, too? It just makes really awesome fodder for shipping, too.)

Otherwise, I think they've all understood that showers are Jun's Alone Time and you leave him alone as much as you can during them. He totally can get just as hyper pre/post-concert as the rest of them (like during that bus trip where Nino was filming and they'd all lost their minds), but in general he's the type to want to relax and calm down and just spend time quietly going through everything in his head, I agree. There's probably a lot of quiet basking in the energy of the crowd and feeling like they put on a really good show and some reflection on any mistakes he may have made or what else he'd like to do to make it more fun for the audience next time around. Aiba, Ohno, and Nino are probably totally excitable, bouncing around the dressing/shower rooms as they work off all the excess energy. They can probably get Sho into it a little, too, despite that he leans towards HEY YOU GUYS I'M TRYING TO TAKE A NORMAL SHOWER HERE SHUT UP because they know he would be sad if they didn't annoy the crap out of him afterwards. ^_~

I don't feel too badly for Jun because I imagine that's probably sort of perfect for him. If he really wanted peace and quiet, he could just go straight home after a quick shower. But he probably likes being on the edge of the craziness without actually being pestered directly. He loves his idiot bandmembers, so their antics probably make him go ~_~ but in that way he wouldn't change for the world. (He just crabs about their weird shower habits during the MCs because that's what makes the whole thing funny. XD)

(Which I think he would probably normally join in on more, but Jun's very... body conscious, I think, despite that he's been doing a lot of almost-shirtless performances lately. I suspect it's only half about wanting some alone time after the concert and more about the sense of vulnerability when you're naked in the shower. He doesn't like being touched without initiating it, it seems like this probably stems from the same place. Which makes me REALLY wonder where that came from.)
