Day 23: Men's Showers, Evening Shift

[forgot_it_all]

His nurse had babbled like usual all the way to the showers, asking if he wanted a haircut (no), if he'd made friends (yes), and if the young man he'd been sitting with was one of them (definitely yes). It was annoying to play the cheerful patient role, but it made sure she didn't ask too many really invasive questions. Ritsuka had to remind

Hikaru had mixed feelings about bathing in public. He knew that some commoners went to bath houses regularly, that their apartments were too small to have more than a sleeping area and a toilet and MAYBE a tiny kitchenette, and that they had to look elsewhere for a place to keep clean, but he had never run into that problem. The bathroom that he and Kaoru shared was bigger than some houses, with a marble tub that could easily double as a small swimming pool. He had bathed with his brother on several occasions, but...other people? No, that was an entirely new experience, and one that he wasn't sure he welcomed.

He folded his clothes and took his towel, unsure what to really do. Eventually, he settled on taking a showerhead well away from the others (though he did want to talk to Ritsuka at some point), angling himself a little more modestly so that he faced the wall, and focused on getting clean.

Kaoru caught his towel between his big and second toe, lifting it and catching it with his hand.

"Sure, we need to make some 'friends'."

The twins always found some way or another to entertain themselves. Not all was lost. Not when they had each other.

He wrapped the towel around himself, although he wondered if he'd only get awkward when having to take it off again. Oh well.

Hikaru had actually all but finished bathing by the time Tamaki came around, so he quickly rinsed and grabbed his towel, wrapping it securely around his waist.

"New friends are always nice," he replied airily, waiting for Kaoru to finish making himself decent. "Lead the way, little brother."
