THE BATHING MEME

Scrub-a-dub-dub, this meme is ridiculous. No, really. This is a meme about taking a bath. Silly.

- Post your character with name, series, and preferences as the subject header.
- Reply to other characters, using the RNG (1-7) to choose a bath type from the list below.
- Characters bathe. Or other things involving a bath. Whatever, dudes. Anything goes!
- Sexy times and/or triggery material may pop up in threads. Please be conscientious toward your fellow roleplaying buddies!

1. Bubble Bath: Here, the characters are sharing a humongous bubble bath with all the froth they can handle. The scent is delicious, the water is warm—go on, enjoy yourselves!
2. Shower: Perhaps not as fun as a bubble bath, but hey, at least it's built to accommodate two. Don’t slip!
3. Hot Tub: A whirlpool of warmth and—mm. Don't mind me. I'll just be sinking in.
4. Hot Springs: An outdoors bath is good, too, right? Or maybe this is part of a hotel. Either way, it sure is steamy.
5. Decadent Bath: There could be bubbles here, or maybe just those wonderful smelling oils and salts. Awwww, yeah. This bath probably cost a small fortune, so you should enjoy it while it lasts.
6. Lake: In case the hot springs weren't rugged enough for you, here's an actual lake, complete with waterfall for all your rinsing pleasures.
7. Other: Bathe in a shoebox for all I care!

*It was well beyond Ginoza why they couldn't have separate showers for the inspectors and enforcers. Normally he would just wait until he got home to bathe, but after running through filthy corridors in the height of summer, he felt too disgusting to even go near his car.

So his only option was to shower here first. But that didn't mean he had to like one second of it. Setting his glasses in his locker, he rubbed the bridge of his nose, then headed for the open line of shower heads.

For the moment he was the only one there, a small favor in his mind. He hoped he could clean up and be gone before anyone else showed up*

[ Sorry, Wally. Your bathtub has been taken over by very silly girl wearing a bathing suit. Feel free to join her though.

Rapunzel had filled up the tub with super warm and bubbly water. So much bubbles that it was impossible to see anything else really. Although a certain tune was being hummed quietly while the bubbles seemed to move around. Was that... the jaws theme? ]

[ Hopefully when Wan comes to the hot springs he doesn't get frightened away. It looks like Yangchen found the perfect rock above the warm waters to meditate for a while Who knows how long she has actually been up there though. ]

"I'm sorry Lucina, but I just hate taking baths by myself! Maribelle is off teaching Olivia, and Emm isn't here right now. You're the only other person I can turn to!" Lissa pouted at Lucina like a sad puppy, tugging at her sleeve, and trying to urge her niece to come with her.

[Eric sat in the spring water, gazing at Shouhei with his blue eyes. Weren't they supposed to be looking for something in the forest? Well, the found a hot spring at least? Did that count as being productive. But it was kind to weird to be alone with anyone but Totsuka or Kosuke.]

Thanks....[He never said thanks for teaching him how to swim when they went to the beach.]

[Gosh Ken had grown a lot in the past few years. He didn't get why the boy would still want to bathe with him but who was he to say no? He had promised to take one with him before he had been in cased in stone.]

You've grown up a lot.

[He's been waiting for this since Minato made him the promise... but now, a few years passed and Ken can clearly see the awkwardness of this situation, although it seemed pretty normal to him back then.]

Umm, everyone is telling me that these days...

[His growth spurt couldn't go unnoticed, but the fuss around it was a little too much for Ken, who were always blushing at those statements. This time is no different.]

[He could see it too, but Ken looked so happy when he had agreed those years ago. He couldn't just let that go. He gave Ken a soft smile on his face.]

You'll probably grow to be taller than me. [He was teasing but he wouldn't be surprised if it turned out true. He felt very proud of the teen for growing so much.]

Please, stop this senpai...

[Ken splashes the water on him, and looks away, his cheeks turning more and more red. Why gaining height is such a big deal? Besides he had imagined bathing with Minato totally differently. The scenario in his head involved doing all the childish things, just like playing with rubber ducks, and not listening about his own body.]

I'm really happy you're here now...

[Minato chuckled softly when he was splashed, playfully splashing water back at him. He had bought a rubber duck for Ken, which was why there was why there was a yellow duck floating in the water.]

I'm happy to be here too....I didn't think I'd see you guys again.

[These years were especially difficult not only for Ken, but other members of SEES, losing Minato like that. When they had learnt what happened to him, it surely helped a bit, but still it felt unfair.

No, that's not the time to recall that. Ken shakes his head and gives Minato the brightest smile he could put on.]

I'll make sure you'll stay with us always from now on. Of course only if you want to!

Does that mean you're going to protect me?

[He smiled back at Ken, reaching out to give Ken a soft head pat. That was a cute thought, even if Ken was grown now, he still had trouble getting rid of his last memory of him being a child.]

I'd like to stay with you.

[He leaned back in the tub sending the little duck over Ken's way.]

[Ken did his best not to recall all those memories, but it was quite hard, especially in front of Minato.]

I will! I can't have you sacrifice yourself like that again!

[Being all fired up, Ken lowers up his eyes, and that's exactly when he notices the rubber duck heading his way.]

Sorry...I won't bring that up anymore, senpai. Let's just enjoy our bath together.

[Squeezing the little duck and stretching it in his hands, he feel like a fool now.]

Edited 2014-10-18 17:23 (UTC)

I'm glad that you like me so much. But I'll still be protecting you anyways. So let's protect each other.

[He noticed Ken's sad look, he reached out and gave him a small hug. It was brief but he was trying to comfort him.]

Don't call me Senpai. Just Minato is fine. [Or Minato-san. It felt too weird to be called that by Ken.]

I don't like you that much! I-I mean I do! But — oh my.

[He has seen his only escape in hiding underwater, but unfortunately the bathtub isn't that deep, so his eyes are still above the water's surface. Grumbling something to himself, he makes little bubbles appear.]

That's too bad. Since I like you a lot.

[He couldn't help teasing Ken a bit. It was just like when Ken had asked him how he drinks his coffee. Sure he could have said black but instead he said hot sauce. His reaction was priceless.]

what was that?

[Ken lifts his head a little to catch breath, but it's not the only reason.]

How much is a lot exactly? And I've said that I'll be sure to call you Minato from now on, senpai!

[Awaiting his response, Ken submerges half of his face in water again, then he realizes what he had said before.]

I mean Minato!

[And his mouth is back under the water.]

Why do you want to know? I thought you didn't like me 'that much'.

[He was teasing him again, reaching out to give him a soft hair ruffle. He sank down in the tub to look into the other boy's eyes.

If Ken thought he was going to hide under water for the whole time, he was wrong. Two could play that game.]

Edited 2014-10-18 18:11 (UTC)

That's unfair, I've been holding my breath much longer...

[Ken's growth spurt is sure visible, but did he really grew up? Who knows...]

And now he has to speak up his mind.]

I like you very much, alright?

[Eventually he finds another way to hide himself a bit by drawing his knees up and burrowing his face there.]

[Minato smiled a soft victory smile when Ken came up, rising up with him.

He was still happy that Ken didn't change too much.]

I know. I like you very much too.

[He cocked his head at Ken when he curled up.]

Are you alright?

I'm fine, but I can't believe I said something that embarrassing in the bathtub! Like this couldn't be more awkward...

[He glances at Minato over his knees, but every time they eyes meet, Ken leans his head down.]

So how much is this very much?

I don't see anything awkward about this.

[Why was Ken so curious to know how much he liked him?]

How much is your very much? I'll tell you if you tell me.

I've asked first... [But he already knew that this way wouldn't get him anywhere, not with Minato.] It's probably this much, I think. [Ken straightens up his posture and stretches his arms as much as possible as well. The truth is it's even more than that, but he doesn't really know how to express it. Or rather, he's too shy to do it.] Your turn!

That's a lot....I like you....

[Minato straightens up his own posture and stretched out his arms far apart. Though he was now curious about what kind of like Ken meant.]

This much. Does this mean I like you more than you like me? [More teasing.]

Edited (forgot to add that!) 2014-10-18 19:10 (UTC)

No...because I like you twice that much, actually!

[That was smooth, well done, thinks Ken, being really proud of himself he found a really good answer. But will he actually notice what he has just said?]

You can't beat that, Minato!

[No, he won't. At least for the time being.]

[That childish response....He couldn't help but laugh softly. It was nice to see that even though Ken tried so hard to act like an adult, he could still be a kid]

The only way I could beat that is by saying I like you three times more than you like me.

Oh.

[Ken didn't see that coming, and yet, it was fairly easy to notice the flaw in his plan. But he has one more chance left and he's going to take it...]

Three times, right? Then prove it that you like me three times more, otherwise I won't never ever believe you.

How would I prove it?

[He didn't see that coming and he had no idea how to prove that.]

I'm fine with anything, if you really like me that much. Just prove it.

[He's obviously not telling him, that he waits for at least a hug or something even more...

Instead, Ken crosses his arms on his chest and looks away.]

Then, will you prove that you like me that much?

[Minato was curious to see how Ken would respond to that.

He was curious what Ken expected.]

There is no way you will go first, right?

[Ken lets out a loud sigh and while still trying to escape his gaze, he moves closer and gives Minato a hug.]

But you won't get away with just a hug!

You're the one wanting all these things.

[This was new, but he hugs him back. Giving him a soft head pat before speaking again.]

Do you want me to kiss you or something? [Because he doesn't know how to out do a hug.]

And you? You don't want to? If you don't that's fine...

[The truth is Ken saw his schoolmates kissing each other and he began to be curious how it is like. Minato, as his senpai, would be perfect to help him discover what's so great about that, Ken thought. But that wouldn't change the fact that, he likes Minato very much, he's just unsure how to call this feeling.]

I'm six years older than you.

[Now physically two or three years but still. He gazed at Ken with an openly surprised look.]

Wouldn't you want to kiss someone in your class?

Just forget I've said anything, okay?

[He gets back to his own end of the bathtub and squeezes the rubber duck really hard. Maybe it would be better, maybe it wouldn't, how would he know that?]

I've joined soccer team lately, it's so much fun.

[Not that his voice definitely doesn't express that. Maybe that wasn't a smooth change of subject, but it doesn't matter to him.]

I never said I wouldn't do it.

[Minato sighed when Ken moved away from him, leaning in to place a soft kiss on his forehead. It may not be what Ken was expecting but it was good enough right?]

You do soccer now?

I've just said it, didn't I?!

[A few moments passed after Ken realizes he snapped at Minato and splashed some water from the bathtub.]

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to shout...

[Except he actually meant to. It was really frustrating to him - everyone talking about how he grew up, but still treating him as a little kid. Ken sure knew he can be childish sometimes, but he didn't take it as something bad.]

Sorry.

[Minato gazed quietly at him. Taken aback by how upset he had made Ken. He sighed softly, was he really not going to be happy unless he kissed him? Why would a kiss mean that much?]

I'll do it. If you want me too.

Stupid, stupid, stupid Minato!

[That was really the adult way of doing things. Or maybe not really. And he has just said sorry a little while ago. Ken burrowed his head in his knees again as he couldn't bring himself to look at the older boy.]

If you don't truly want it there is no point of doing it at all...I'm not the type to force someone to do these kind of things...and sorry for calling you stupid...

[Minato sighed when Ken called him stupid, reaching out to lightly pet his hair in a soothing manner.]

It's alright. But Ken, you do realize that we're naked right?

We are? I mean...of course we are!

[He doesn't exactly understand what is the problem with being naked. Is it dangerous? Or prohibited? It's true that his classmates were wearing their uniforms back then.]

But I really don't want to make you do this. I'll find someone else.

I'll kiss you. I wouldn't mind it. But not now okay? Kissing and being naked doesn't mix well.

[Hopefully he didn't have to explain that.]

[Sorry Minato, you have a pretending-to-be-an-adult-kid there who apparently doesn't know why being naked is that bad.]

But why? It isn't allowed or something? Or even against the law? Tell me, please!

Because kissing when naked means.....

[Can he truly ruin this boy's innocence? It was for the best....but...] You don't want to be treated as a child. So I will tell you as an adult.

Kissing when naked often leads to sex.

[Done. He said it. Wait. Did this mean he was going to have to give him the talk too? Dammit.]

Sex? Kissing is not enough for people? And what is it exactly? One girl from my class wanted to have it with me, but I didn't really know what she meant so I turned her down. Did I do something bad, Minato?

[Kids these days. You must keep an eye on them or strange things may happen.]

Kissing is one form of affection, sex is strictly for adults.

[What ever happened to playing catch or holding hands?]

Sex is when two people want to be together, either out of love or lust. A boy and a girl will make a baby. Male and Male is just for intimacy or pleasure same with Female and Female. You should really only do it with someone you care for a lot other wise it'll only cause you trouble.

Oh, I think understand. But I've never talked with that girl before...is it possible that she cared about me? And I had turned her down so coldly...

[Deep in thought, Ken rests his head on his knees, but he's not hiding his face this time.]

I am even adult enough to have this sex?

She probably just wanted the sex. Girls used to bother me for that too.

[Turned them all down since he may not seem like it but he actually has some form of class.

Again, why is he left to deal with this?]

How old was the girl who asked?

My age, she was quite good-looking too...but that doesn't matter at all, that's good I've turned her down. Hey, Minato...did any of the girls who had bothered you got to have sex with you? I'm just curious, nothing else!

[And there he is, awaiting his senpai's answer with flushed cheeks.]

No, I'm interested in girls.

[Is probably a surprise since girls hang out with him all the time.]

Just keep in mind that there will be both girls and boys who will want to be with you like that. It's important that you don't allow anyone to pressure you into it.

[No one can ever say he didn't try being a good influence on him.]

So...you're interested in boys then?

[Interesting, interesting...he's in the bathtub with a boy who likes other boys, they're both naked, and a few minutes ago Ken wanted to kiss him. WAIT WHAT.]

It couldn't be the case that...you didn't want to kiss me, because you could want to have sex after?

I guess? Never thought about it.

[KEN NO. DON'T COME TO THIS CONCLUSION.]

Teenage hormones do that. [Wait. NO. THAT DIDN'T COME OUT RIGHT.]

I'm warning you, that kissing when both parties are naked usually means sex.

But even if they're in clothes...it's fairly easy to remove them, isn't it? And then it's possible to have sex too.

[He follows this train of thought for a bit, not speaking up his conclusions to Minato. HE DOESN'T WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING INSIDE KEN'S HEAD RIGHT NOW. Oh no, he's going to learn it anyway-]

Let's say...I would kiss you right now. What would happen after?

Yes but it gives both parties time to think about what's going on.

[He's pretty sure he'd be shocked to know Ken was already at that age. Where did the time go. Oh yeah.]

You still want to kiss me? [Someone needs to give Ken the talk because obviously Minato is doing something wrong.]

(Would Bayonetta be interested in a very innocent, very tsundere boy? I don't usually play crosscanon, but I really like embarrassing Elliot.)

[ of course. ]

[ooc: #5 seems about right. Just want to know which season you want to set this for a canon point]

[ How could I resist season two with mummy? ]

[Post or pre Datak returning?]

[ How about post? Which leads me to, would you prefer pre-Treasure Doll's exit from the show, or post? ]

[The servants had whispered to her that Alak was bathing alone. Again. The wasn't like him at all. As far as she knew, he had been focusing solely on Christie and his unborn child. She sensed, as any mother would sense, that something was bothering her son. The fact that Christie had acted as any Castithan woman would when she felt her family and way of life was threatened, that might be the cause of his aloofness. In a way, she was flattered that Christie had resolved to model herself after Stahma. She wondered if that was the problem or if it was the cold and execution-like style with which Christie had dispatched the whore that bothered her son.

Regardless, there was clearly a fence that needed mending.

She entered the family bathing chamber and pretended to look surprised when she saw her son sitting there alone in the hot water. She approached the edge of the water, shedding her outer robe as she slowly submerged herself]

My son, why are you bathing by yourself? Where is your wife?

[Also can come in Modern Day AU flavour with Kilimesoftly]

[Niiiiiice modern AU username. /hifive]

[ Haru, you don't mind sharing your tiny tub with someone else, right? Because right now an atlantian somehow found himself making Haru's tub a nice warm watery bed. He was curled up at the bottom of the tub sleeping peacefully. ]

Leave it to the group to leave the most awkward task to Minato.

If he hadn't come back Ken would still know nothing about the birds and the bees :D

Sweet baby jesus. You'd think Junpei would have done this already.

Junpei doing the talk? are you sure about this? :D

He'd at least maybe check girls out with him? Come on it's Junpei.

I bet he would take Ken and Koromaru just to pick up the hottest girls

Just like look at how caring Junpei is ladies. You dig the nurturing type
