As Fred drove them to the flat, Wesley rested his head back against the passenger seat. He was so glad to have her there with him, knew that as long as she was there, he'd be able to face anything. Even death. Though he'd prefer not having to face that again for quite a long time.
When they reached the flat, Wesley leaned on Fred as she helped him upstairs. He was feeling quite a bit better but was still shaky. He figured that a good hot cup of tea, a shower and Fred would do wonders for him. He wanted to sit down for a moment while she went in to start the shower but then decided against it, considering the states of their clothes - the sooner they got cleaned up, the better. Wesley didn't want to think about what might have been in that water. It might be a good idea for both of them to take a few of the antibiotic tablets he still had in medical chest, he decided.
He was just trying to decide what they should do about their clothes when Fred came back out, asking if he would be okay in the shower. He opened his mouth a few times to try to answer them, but he wasn't able to get a word in, and a small smile crossed his face. This was one of the reasons why he loved her.
Then she offered to shower with him, and Wes found his heart almost stopping for a moment. He remembered his reaction to seeing her naked in her room at the hotel...and he worried about having the same reaction again, but at the same time, he wanted her there.
"I...I think..." He had trouble getting it out, so finally, he held out his hand to her, grasping it and drawing her toward the bathroom with him. "Please."
