So, I'm still suffering from writer's block. I was hoping this would help.

Christian didn't mean to walk in on Olli, at least not consciously, though he heard the water running and some part of him must have realized. Still, once he'd come in, there was no way he could leave again. He could barely breath, let alone walk back out the door.
Mouth dry, he watched as Olli stepped out of the water and grabbed a towel, turning towards him unselfconsciously. He mumbled something about deodorant, and he knew Olli responded, but his own internal shouts of 'say something now stupid!' drowned it out. Oh-shaving cream. He fought down a blush and fumbled to set the can down, only to almost drop it as Olli walked toward him.
He mentioned inviting Judith over with half a mind, focused on the acres of smooth skin still revealed to him, but not wanting to be too obvious about it. Olli agreed, and left, as nonchalant as he'd been the whole time. Christian wondered if Olli's crush on him was over. No, it was more than a crush. Olli said he was in love with Christian and he believed that, but the other man hadn't seemed bothered at all by having Christian in the room with him while he was naked.
Christian picked up the bottle Olli had just used. He breathed in, savoring the scent of the cologne, wishing he could have smelled it against Olli's skin, but he felt like a coward and an idiot when it came to his roommate. No one had ever confused him and thrown him off his game the way Olli had. Still, if he had ever been unsure if he really was sexually attracted to another man, to Olli, he had no doubts now. He just needed to figure out what to do about it.

Christian wrapped his arms tighter around the warm body snuggled against him. He had been an idiot, to be afraid of this, and he'd almost lost the best thing that ever happened to him because of it.
Olli pulled back and looked up at him, giving him the smile that made his heart flip every time. "What are you thinking so intently about?"
Christian shook his head. "Nothing. I was just remembering that time I walked in on you in the shower."
"Which time? Because I swear I'm starting to think you have some sort of fetish about that shower."
If he did have a fetish, it was Olli, it was that he could do what he hadn't been able to that day, that he had the right to now. "Before we were together. The night Judith came for dinner."
"Oh." Olli grinned. "Yes, you and the shaving cream."
"You remember that?"
"Of course. Why do you think it took me so long to wrap the towel around me? I loved seeing you flustered. It gave me hope that I might have a chance."
Christian sighed, pulling Olli closer. "I'm sorry that it took me so long to figure things out."
Olli leaned in and kissed him. "That's okay. You were worth the wait."
