*The microwave beeps and the ramen floats over, as does a pair of chopsticks and his coffee cup. He sits down at his lab table to this gourmet meal, stomach growling irritatedly. Weary of...just about everything, he starts to eat, putting up a psychic barrier, because he doesn't feel like reading anyone's mind today.*

*He hadn't showered at all in the past week, and it was starting to really bother him-- but of course, even though he could barely stand on his own, asking Komui's help for this would just be too much. So he'll carefully sneak into the bathroom, hugging the wall for support, and get the shower started, sort of hoping Komui doesn't hear it.*

[crocodilehives]

*sfdhslkf y-you didn't have to mention that, now he's thinking about it! But... but that actually feels kind of nice, letting someone else condition your hair, it's making him relax a little...*

[psych0_psychic]

*Rubs the conditioner in, trying not to squint from the water that looks like it's coming right for his face but is stopped by a thin waterproof barier. And trying not to concentrate on the softness of Bak's hair in his fingers.*

[crocodilehives]

*And he's trying not to concentrate on the fact that Komui is standing next to him while he's nude in the shower... but. Having him condition his hair isn't so bad, so he'll let it slide. For now.*

[psychic_psych0]

*Rinses out the conditioner, and he's maybe feeling a little emo about the whole thing for good measure. Once it's out he grabs the soap, pouring some into his hand and rubbing it over Bak's neck and back. The whole thing is comfortingly familiar to him in a way. He misses taking care of his own Bak.*

[crocodilehives]

*... If he could have made a noise right then, when Komui touches his neck especially, he would have, but he manages to hold it back. Barely. He's not used to people touching him.*

[psychic_psych0]

*He resolves to be a bit more careful after that, but only a bit. He smooths the soap over Bak's back and shoulders and arms and legs.*

[crocodilehives]

*Too late, Bak's already more worked up than he's comfortable with. Shivering, just a little, despite the hot water.*

[psychic_psych0]

*Komui notices this and keeps going. It's Bak's problem if he's taking it the wrong way. Then again, Komui thinks, taking Bak's arm to turn him around and rub soap on his chest, he might be starting to take it the wrong way, too. He could just be doing this with his powers. But no, his fingers trace over Bak's upper body in an almost seductive manner. And trail a bit lower.*

[crocodilehives]

*asjskfhdksj okay, now he can feel the blush starting to creep over his cheeks. This is starting to get rather indecent, and Bak's... not sure how he feels about that. But at least one part of him is starting to like it.*

[psychic_psych0]

Stop freaking out, it's just a shower.

*Komui can see all this, and it leaves him a little at odds. But it's just a shower, right? It's not sex, he's just assisting an injured, helpless nude, inexperienced virgin Bak, right?

Even to him, it sounds like something out of a porn movie. But he dips his hand lower anyway, rubbing the soap lightly into him in the least perverted-feeling way he can manage. This whole thing is perfectly innocent. Right?*

[crocodilehives]

*But that's just it, Bak is a virgin, people barely even touch him the first place, for whatever reason; nothing he's ever done has come even close to this. And it shouldn't ever, really. He's a monster, he shouldn't--

Innocent. Right. Sure. Just a shower. It's about all Bak can manage to shut his eyes and grit his teeth to keep from making any noise.*

[psychic_psych0]

*Komui tries to shut it out. But it's too tempting, and a second later he's back in Bak's mind again, reading all his thoughts, so that taking his hand away feels like torture. But once he does, there's nothing to do, and he's standing there awkwardly for a moment. He's debating something he shouldn't even be considering.

He could handle this if Bak's thoughts weren't trying to make his decision for him.*

[crocodilehives]

*... Slumps a little when Komui lets go of him, breathing harder than he should be from just taking a shower. ... That same thing Komui is debating is nagging at the back of his mind now, and Bak's convinced he shouldn't be considering it, either, if for entirely different reasons. So, he's trying to ignore the thought, but it's a lot harder to not think about something than it is to think about it.

Their current situation isn't exactly helping any.*

[psych0_psychic]

....Well. *He starts to turn and get out of the shower. Then pauses.

He doesn't really know what he's doing when he leans in closer instead, placing a hand lightly on Bak's upper arm.

He almost considers asking Bak if he can kiss him.

Then, it's suddenly too late.*

[crocodilehives]

*And Bak's to stunned to react. He's just standing there, mind suddenly reeling. It seems like his body reacts on it's own, slowly, as if unsure, kissing back.*
