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!

[Dojima leans up to give her better access to his back. As she starts scrubbing at it with the cloth, he feels himself relaxing. Especially when it starts leaning towards rubbing instead.]

Mmmh...

[He presses against her hands without really thinking about it.]

A little to the left?

[Naoto notices him pressing back and shifts a little closer. He can't see, but she nods once, moving her hand a little more left. The wash cloth slips from her hands, falling to the ground with a soft splat as her fingers work.]

Sorry for the slow! been having internet troubles

[This is nice. This is very nice. It's been so long since he's had anyone's hands on him in this way he's forgotten how wonderful it is to be touched softly. A low rumble emanates from his throat and he relaxes more as Naoto rubs his shoulders. It's the sound of the wash cloth hitting the floor that breaks him out of his reverie.

After a few moments, he reaches behind him and catches one of Naoto's wrists.]

Why don't you join me now?

[His voice is soft, softer than Naoto has probably ever heard it.]

No problem. Internet problems happen

[pishirogane]

[Actions still when he grabs her wrist and she raises her eyes from his back.]

... Of course.

[She rises to her feet, hand not slipping from his grasp as she walks around in front of him. Naoto stops before him, towel still tight, but notably wet from the moisture. With one hand in his hold, the other rests by her side, but comes slowly to the knot keeping the towel on.]
