"We're gonna get all pruney"
Maverick murmurs. His voice echoes in the quiet of the bathroom. Drops from the perpetually leaking faucet splash against Bradley's shin. His mile long legs contoured to fit in the narrow tub. Knobby knees emerging from puffs of vanilla scented bubbles.
"Shhh. Just relax, sweetheart" Bradley coos. Smoothing a wet hand over Maverick's shaggy damp hair, guiding the other man's head to rest back on his shoulder.
They'd been soaking in the tub for what felt like hours. Aching muscles soothed by an Epsom salt sprinkle. The once scalding water now a balmy lukewarm and almost all of the lingering misty fog had cleared from the mirror above the sink.
Bradley shifts, water sloshing dangerously close to the lip of the tub as he wraps Mav tighter in his embrace. There really was no other place he'd rather be. Maverick wet and naked, curled up between his legs, pillowed contently on Bradley's chest where he'd reach up and caress a water-wrinkled hand across Bradley's cheek in a quiet moment of tenderness.
"Alright" Maverick gives in with ease. All soft and sweet in Bradley's arms. "Just a little longer." he sighs, eyes slipping closed with a low yawn.
Bradley hides his smile in the warm, flushed skin of Maverick's neck. The room falling quiet once more but for drip-drop of the faucet and Maverick's heart beating strong under the kiss of his lips.
