MCA #2 | Saturday Afternoon

[long_memory]

Silver had actually planned on leaving the apartment today but the chocolate falling from the sky had him turning around and heading back into his apartment. He was vain enough to not want chocolate in his hair no matter how delicious it might turn out to be.

He shot Rey a quick text warning her of that weirdness and left his door unlocked just in case she wanted to avoid it together.

[For one! Edit: And NSFW]

"I can tell," he said, standing up and giving her a quick kiss. "You can make it up to me by undressing while I pick out bubbles."

Because he had multiple bottles. He had a problem.

[thatwaslucky]

"How many kinds are there?" she asked, backing away to let him move, and so she could get her pants off.

[long_memory]

"A couple," he said, picking a bottle out. "...five."

Look, he dumped a pretty generous amount in there so it explained why he needed so many. He went through it quickly.

[thatwaslucky]

"What's your favorite?" Not that she would keep it in mind or anything.

[long_memory]

"I'm partial to the lavender," he admitted, moving to take the rest of his clothes off. He hated how awkward it could be because of his leg but he was slowly becoming less self-conscious doing it around Rey.

[thatwaslucky]

Rey could not care less about how awkward it might look. She was just appreciative.

"That's the relaxing one, right?" she asked, as she got the rest of her underwear off.

[long_memory]

"That's what the bottle says," he said, giving Rey an appreciative once over. He tossed the rest of his clothes aside and got into the tub with the grace of someone who had worked out exactly how to do this without falling over and had perfected it. He liked his baths, okay?

"Your turn."

[thatwaslucky]

This whole bath thing was really just making her like him more.

Rey climbed into the tub, looking a little unsure about sitting naked in water, like somehow she wasn't doing it right.

[long_memory]

Silver smiled slightly. "Here--sit with your back against my chest. We can worry about hair washing later."

[thatwaslucky]

"I see the appeal now," Rey said, and moved so that she could lean her back against him.

[long_memory]

"It's nice," he agreed, brushing Rey's hair to one side so he could press a kiss just below her ear. It was nice, having her against him like this with no real plans in mind outside of being together and relaxing.

"...usually I don't add quite this many bubbles." They weren't going to drown in them or anything but...it was a lot.

[thatwaslucky]

"You know, I like it," she decided, holding up a sudsy hand. "There's two of us. Clearly you need extra."

[long_memory]

"I like that logic," he said, idly running his fingers down her arm. "I might make you a bath convert yet."

[thatwaslucky]

"If you're there, yes." She might be ruined for solo baths, who knew. "I don't really do much to relax."

[long_memory]

"Well we are going to change that," he said. "Everybody needs time to relax."

[thatwaslucky]

"We, hmm?" she asked, turning her head to look at him.

[long_memory]

"We," he confirmed before giving her a quick kiss. "Unless you hold any objections to that?"

[thatwaslucky]

"Not at all," she said, and kissed him back. "I like 'we.'"

Which was actually a big thing for her.

[long_memory]

"I do too." Usually 'we' was a cause of a lot of anxiety for him but right now things were really good. "We also seem to be doing very well at this relaxing thing right now."

[thatwaslucky]

"It would have been much less relaxing with chocolate," she laughed softly.

[long_memory]

"Oh I would have been outright stressed out if the chocolate had been involved," he admitted.

[thatwaslucky]

"It would have been that bad?" she asked.

[long_memory]

"Well, probably not," he said. "But I would have been pretty dramatic about it."

[thatwaslucky]

"I have a hard time imagining that," she admitted. "I've always seen you calm."

[long_memory]

"I only save it for special occasions," he said lightly. "It usually comes with the Long John Silver persona."
