the intimate bathing meme

[soundtracks]

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!

[ He leans close and kisses Charles' jaw, kisses his cheek, before he leans back and strokes his fingers through that lovely hair. It's soft, now, from the conditioner, but it's still damp-- lovely, really.

He tugs Charles closer, hooking a leg over one of his and grinning.

His man. His Charles. ]

I never realised your tastes ran so young, Charles.

[cohabitations]

[he sighs, happily at the smattering of kisses along his jaw and cheek. the fingers through his hair are relaxing. he wraps his arms around erik's as he's tugged closer, laughing as he seems intent on doing his best impression of an octopus by wrapping around him.

only then he says that, and it earns him a splash of water as he chuckles.]

Oh, you didn't? You're absolutely incorrigible.

[ They're a tangled mess of men, now, their legs wrapping around each other as Erik moves and draws Charles closer, kissing at all the skin he can reach. He keeps stroking fingers through his hair and he tugs gently.

He leans in for more kisses, biting gently, making a soft, pleased little noise. ]

I am not. You're terrible.

[cohabitations]

[they are indeed. one might wonder where one ends and the other begins, but charles hardly minds it at all.

he returns the soft bites and kisses in kind, pausing only to speak between them.]

Am I really so terrible?

[metalica]

You are. Utterly dreadful. Abhorrent. I don't know how I survive you at all.

[ He kisses along Charales' jaw and lips before he shakes his head. ]

Don't be silly. You are perfection.

[cohabitations]

[his shoulders shake as erik extols how fantastically awful he is, eyes crinkling at the corners as he chuckles.]

Mm, I don't know. I think someone else might be in contest for that title.

[it is said with no small amount of fondness as charles tilts his head to nose at erik's jaw.]

[metalica]

[ He huffs out a noise, shaking his head and leaning closer to Charles to press up for a kiss. ]

Yes, well. Only one of us in this bath is perfect, Charles, and it certainly isn't me.

[cohabitations]

[their mouths find each other's again and he can't help but chuckle softly.]

We'll have to agree to disagree then.
