Work Text:
“I’m home!” Atsushi cheerily called out.
You were currently relaxing in the living room, binging one of your favorite TV shows. You had immediately shot up once you had heard your lover’s voice.
“Welcome home!” You answered.
You had a plan, there had been a time in the early stages of your relationship when you had attempted to coax him to bathe with you, but to no avail he was usually too flustered to do so. So now, when he’s ready to relax after a long day at work, you were going to try again.
He had already made his way to the living room, so you were now facing one another.
“So…” you said with a mischievous look on your face, one that kept him slightly on edge, “You bathin’?”
“Yeah, what is it?” He knew you were up to something, a sweat drop forming at the realization.
“Why don’t I join you this time, hm?”
After a few moments he had completely flushed scarlet and covered half of his face with his hand.
“Uh, Well..!” He stammered.
“You can say no, kitty, I won’t judge you.” You soothed, “just wanna help ya get clean.”
His face was still flushed but his expression morphed into a calm one.
“It’s not a bad idea..” he muttered, your face lit up while you grabbed him by the wrist to lead him to the bathroom.
Opening the door you finally let go of his hand to turn the knob on the bathtub, waiting for it to fill up a good amount.
“You wanna get in…” you spoke before cutting yourself off after looking at Atsushi. He was standing near the door, not even facing you as he fiddled with his shirt. “Remember, we don’t have to do this if you dont-“
“I do, I just..!” He chewed on his lip, “can I get in first..?”
“Sure.” You smiled, whatever makes your boyfriend happy.
You turned the knob off once it had reached a good level, “I’ll put something in to make it bubble!”
You quickly turned and searched for a soap with a nice scent before pouring a decent amount in the tub, making sure to splash the water to get the bubbles going.
“Whenever you’re ready!” You spoke as you faced away from Atsushi.
You could hear clothes rustling along with the sound of water sloshing around in the tub.
“Done?”
“Yeah.”
You took off your clothing hastily before setting it to the side, you could tell he was nervous so you had to take it slow. Once you turned around though, you were stunned. A part of his hair was plastered to his cheek from the water giving you a clear view of his jaw, and his collarbones looked heavenly, you honestly felt like a Victorian man gawking at a woman showing her ankle.
Hurriedly snapping out of it you climbed in as well, sitting directly behind him. He still looked flustered but soon relaxed as well.
You cupped your hands and poured some over your head to get it wet, then did the same with Atsushi after telling him to close his eyes.
You grabbed the loofah that sat on the side of the tub and spoke, “Can I clean you?” You made sure to speak softly while asking.
You could see him nod just barely, you reached your hand under the water to gently grip his hand as you pulled it upwards, extending his arm. You took your time, scrubbing all those sweat and germs off of him. You soon did this with every part of his upper body, and soon you could hear a deep rumbling coming from the throat of your lover.
“Mm, you relaxed?” He was purring, what a beautiful sound.
“Mhm.” He hummed.
You started to wash yourself as well, making sure to get every spot. Once you were done, and you had set the loofah aside you could feel him leaning back gently against your chest.
You grabbed the shampoo after a moment and coaxed Atsushi to lean up whilst you squeezed some onto your palm.
You raised your hands and lightly scrubbed his scalp in a calming manner, his purrs raising in volume with each drag of your nails.
After scrubbing all that unseen grime out of his hair, you lowered his head under the faucet and rinsed his hair out.
After you were finished you were both sprawled out at the end of the tub, you leaning against the back, and him leaning against you. Though it almost went unnoticed, he had nuzzled his head into your neck.
Damn it, his cuteness would be the death of you.
