The Intimacy Bathing Meme

[historicallyinaccurate]

the intimate bathing meme;

Grooming is an important part of many species' rituals. It keeps them clean, healthy, and content. And a good bath? It can change the whole tone of a day from terrible to relaxed and blissful. But nudity is sometimes viewed as a weakness - and it is almost always sexualized - so bathing is often kept a private matter. If you do share these moments with someone, they're almost always a significant other or a sexual partner. Like you're doing now. Whether it be after a battle or after sex (or before sex, even), the two of you are going to get clean. Be sure to help each other out with that, won't you? After all, there are places on the back that just can't be reached... HOW TO PLAY: Comment with your character, your prefs, etc. If there are other grooming-related practices or kinks you'd like to include, like shaving, hair washing, mention them! Reply to others!

She raised her eyebrows.

"Yeah?"

[dontthinkabout]

He nodded. "Yeah, why not?"

[inyourdreams]

"I don't know, we've been traveling kind of a lot lately," she said. "And Christmas is coming up."

[dontthinkabout]

"Well, we won't spend that long there. Maybe less than a week, and then we'll go back to New York and then your parents'," he said.

"Can I decide after this job is over?" she asked. She was just feeling tired and like she wanted to be home with their puppy. The idea of unpack and repacking to leave again didn't appeal to her right now. Maybe it would once they were home again.

He nodded. "Or we don't have to go to Paris. Whatever you want."

[inyourdreams]

"I'll think about it," she said.

[dontthinkabout]

"Okay." He went over and kissed her cheek.

[inyourdreams]

She gave him a small smile.

"We'll be okay, you know," he said to her after a moment, to reassure her.

[inyourdreams]

"I hope so," she said.

[isnt_the_same]

"Come on." He threaded their fingers together and led her to the bed.

Wrong Arthur. :)

[inyourdreams]

She followed him over.

Thanks!

[dontthinkabout]

He pulled the blankets down and got in.

[inyourdreams]

She climbed in next to him and laid down.

[dontthinkabout]

He rolled onto his side, facing her.

[inyourdreams]

She rolled over to face him as well.

[dontthinkabout]

He rested his hand on the side of her face, his thumb rubbing her bottom lip.

[inyourdreams]

She gave him a small smile.

[dontthinkabout]

He leaned over and kissed her.

[inyourdreams]

She kissed him back, her eyes slipping shut.

[dontthinkabout]

"I love you," he whispered against her lips.

[inyourdreams]

"Love you, too," she said as she opened her eyes again, her hand sliding into his hair gently.

[dontthinkabout]

He kissed her nose and then said, "roll over."

[inyourdreams]

She raised an eyebrow but then did as he asked, rolling away from him on to her other side.
