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!

[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.]

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.]

sweet jesus that icon is adorable

Ken is always adorable. Remeber when he was a bitty and drank coffee black?
