Surprise

[coordinated_n]

*Near arrives home, with a soft sigh, and it's so obvious in the way he smiles and moves and walks, the way he didn't come home last night and did now, the same clothes, the messy hair, the cautious steps, and the way he says nothing, avoiding conversation, and heads straight for the bath.  The most 'I'VE HAD SEX AND IT WAS GOOD' crossing of a room ever known to man.

He starts running the hot water, and wonders if he's gotten away with it.*
