The water's fine

[buckingham]

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!

[ Although he's long been settled into a version of married life where time is meaningless and special occasions are celebrated as a matter of course, Eddie finds himself arriving in LA practically giddy. He'd planned his visits long in advance, but this particular weekend marks exactly four months to the day since they each uttered the fateful b-word, the one that still sends a little thrill down Eddie's spine.

Boyfriend.

So here he is, running a hot bath with a bottle of nice bourbon he'd brought from New York sitting on the raised tile the bath's set in. Which isn't the real gift: beside the bottle are two heavy whiskey glasses, one engraved in a scripted R, the other E.

When Eddie pads out of the bathroom to find Richie, he swallows, nerves quickening the words that tumble out of his mouth. ]

I'm gonna suggest something and I swear to god, don't fucking laugh at me, man, but-

[ He cuts himself off, hands on his hips, and pauses. Then tries a different tactic instead. ]

I want you to take your clothes off so I can get my hands all over you in the bath with me.

Could be that Ashe has just found a scruffy young miscreant in sore need of a hot meal and a bath. Yes, definitely a bath. Living on the streets your whole life leaves a rough look, but he’d be easy on the eyes of you cleaned him up a little.
