Day 19 - Male Showers

[class_one]

It was in complete silence that Zack was moved from the cafeteria to the showers. Usually one would have expected him to be chatting with the nurse despite the fact that she happened to think he was a certain Parker Johnson, but... No, not today

Shower... again?

Now the redhead couldn't really complain about all of this, but he didn't know if he should be offended about what the orderlies thought of 'male hygiene'. Still, the somewhat pleasant conversation he got with Sora at Breakfast was enough to give a temporary high where even luxurious hot showers couldn't dampen his mood.

Unlike last time Axel wasn't as desperate to jump head on into the showers, so he carefully undressed and let his nurse remove the bandage around his back. And when the sticky job was through the redhead was handed a towel and ushered into the hot and humid environment.

He wandered around, looking around for a good spot since the place was getting crowded, but most of his findings left him with nothing but distressed atmospheres around some of the individuals. Quirking an eyebrow, the redhead sighed before meandering over to the nearest empty shower head.

For a moment he spent the time soaking his hair into a flattened soppy mess before taking a closer look at the individual next to him. Most would've found this perverted the way he studied him, Axel tapping his chin with his tongue poking out the corner of his mouth in deep thought while his eyes gazed up and down the blond stranger.

But his real motives weren't as lecherous, merely doing this because the guy looked familiar. Actually, after this long Axel had begun to take in a lot of faces and it was only then that he noticed that he had barely talked to anyone that he didn't already know.

"Hmm."

Sanzo didn't even notice the other man until he'd cleared the shampoo from his eyes. When the monk finally did open them, however, it was to find that some jackass had taken the showerhead next to him, - and even better - was blatantly staring at him. All of him. It was just the last thing Sanzo needed.

The priest nearly did a double-take though. It was the blazing red hair - coupled with what could only be a ghost of a leer - that nearly tricked him. For the briefest moment, Sanzo had that sinking feeling that the kappa had appeared at this place. As if a certain hermaphroditic boddhisatva had decided to thrown some more onto the pile of shit he already had to deal with. Goddess of Mercy? Whoever had given her the title had a poor sense of humor.

A longer look showed that other than the superficial details (hair, the invasive look), this inmate and Gojyo looked nothing alike.

A taboo offspring?

The monk already had his share of half-breeds. Gojyo was enough to last a life-time. The thought that this other prisoner could be even remotely similar to the roach was nearly unbearable.

"What the hell are you looking at?" Sanzo snapped.

"Isn't it obvious?" Axel replied to obviously spite the other man, eyebrow quirked at the latter's harsh tone of voice. If decency was what he wanted he should have kept himself at a corner, because it wasn't like the redhead would've actually apologized for his lack of personal space. It was just that he didn't do anything wrong in his opinion, so he shrugged in the end and went back to washing himself off.

Soon enough it was time for them to shift back into the Cafeteria, and the redhead's stomach growled at the thought of real sandwiches being served. This lifted his mood so much that he couldn't help but smile brightly at the brooding man next to him despite his first impression.

"I guess I'll talk to you later." And with that Axel walked out to get dressed, unaware of the humiliation that was bound to ensue on his part.
