No. I don't usually have someone else in the shower with me.
[ He's starting with Jyuto's back because Jyuto is here, and he's putting him first. Riou and Jyuto's relationship is probably going to change from here on out, though Riou isn't sure how exactly. He doesn't know what will or won't be appropriate in the future. He isn't going to focus too much on it now, though. Jyuto is tired, and they're both affectionate right now and he doesn't want Jyuto to agree to anything out of obligation or a heightened sense of affection. He wants Jyuto to have time to use that beautiful brain of his to decide whether or not he wants Riou around all the time or not.
And in the meantime, he's going to enjoy being affectionate while he knows he's allowed to in ways he isn't and can't be with anyone else. So he focuses on washing Jyuto's back quietly, letting Jyuto decide on the conversation. Jyuto may think it's too personal a topic, but Riou clearly doesn't. He's fine with it. ]
I meant more so on yourself than on another person, but I realize now that may seem a little creepy to ask. [ Itâs a question commonly asked in idol interviews, not far behind, âWhatâs your ideal type?â
Jyutoâd be lying to say he werenât interested in the answers, even if only a little. â¨He wonders what aspects of himself are attractive to Riou. ]
I usually start with washing my face first. I follow up with shampoo and treatment. [ Jyuto leans back into Riouâs touch. ]
[ Maybe if he weren't already in the shower with Jyuto he would think more of it, but given the day they've had, it seems normal. Comfortable even. Not creepy.
Riou slowly washes Jyuto's back, being a little slower and more thorough than necessary. He wants him to be relaxed. ]
I go from the top to the bottom. I use my shampoo-plus-conditioner, then soap face down to my feet. Nature does the rest.
Maybe a little. It gives room for the person asking to imagine you in your own private time, doesnât it? [ Not that it really matters. Theyâre already in the shower together, so Jyuto can see everything for the most part. The only obstacles are the way heâs facing and his poor eyesight, hm. ]
Do you make your own soap? [ Jyuto wonders. Heâs seen organic designer bar soaps before, the kind with plants, flowers or fruit sometimes visible in their molding. He thinks theyâre nice to look at, but has never quite tried them for himself. Only body wash. ]
If you do, maybe you could sell it here. Or build furniture⌠[ Jyutoâs frame relaxes, felt beneath the weight of Riouâs scrubbing. He looks back and up, squinting through the water falling on his lashes. When thereâs an opening and Riou seems finished, he turns around again and puts his hands on Riouâs hips. ]
[ this thread is brought to you by: thirst for private time ]
Yes. It's easy to make tallow for it. You can put whatever you want in, too. I don't know if anyone would buy that. [ Riou likes to dry and use flowers and herbs. 'u' It doesn't really leave a lasting impression on the skin since they're just in there and he's not using like extracts and stuff, but the soap smells nice and it looks cute and it makes him smell like the forest.
Riou's eyes fall immediately into Jyuto's when he turns around. While it may be unsexy squinting from Jyuto's end, to Riou it looks more like glistening, long lashes and partially lidded eyes. Cute...
[ Perhaps the narrator will receive her copy of Private Time soon. Anywayâ
Jyuto doesn't expect a kiss, but it doesn't mean one's unwelcome when it falls. His arms wrap snugly around the other man's waist, fingers lacing and locking his hands against Riou's tailbone. His eyes (that can hardly see), glistening and pretty to Riou, close to a gentle shut. The water of the shower head still raining down on them makes him feel like he's in a movie. When he pulls away, he wonders what things between them will be like, from now on. Will they not kiss after it becomes tomorrow? Hm... ]
I'd buy some. [ As there's room to speak. Jyuto unlaces his hands, sliding them back to the front of Riou's body and up to comb wet hair out of his face. Though subtle to other people, to Jyuto, Riou looks so happy. Jyuto has to kiss him again because of it, but when he breaks his own he tries to continue the conversation and fight falling into the very real threatening pit of icha icha madness. ]
Maybe we could make some together, Riou. [ Unlike catching bugs or skinning animals, the alternative of harvesting flowers or gathering herbs sounds much more pleasant to him. ] Turn around for me? [ His turn! ]
[ The kisses are soft, matching the affection Riou feels right now. Maybe some people find him inexpressive or cool, but Riou often feels like he has to contain himself and hold back. He's feeling that right now, as Jyuto kisses him again but pulls away too soon, eliciting a subtle movement forward to trail after him, but he stops before it becomes too obvious. If Jyuto notices, it will only be because they're so close right now.
But he behaves himself, and straightens his back a little, moving to turn around exactly as Jyuto asks. There's no hesitation in that movement. ]
Let me know when you have time.
[ He can render the tallow ahead of time. That way Jyuto doesn't have to deal with the dead animals. ]
[ Jyuto thinks he caught glimpse of such an action and only manages to smile at Riou's back when he turns from him. He collects body wash in his hands, spreading it over the span of Riou's muscles and then massaging his skin with it until it forms a foamy lather. ]
Should I start sending you copies of my schedule, once it's been posted? I think that soon I'll be able to decide it for myself. I was interviewed for officer moon knight promotion recently and everything. [ Jyuto is kind of humble bragging. It isn't on paper just yet, but Jyuto is more than certain he's going to be receiving said position. The interview itself wasn't questioning so much as acknowledging and praising all of Jyuto's progressive successes up until this point.
He looks up at Riou's nape and then down to the firm mounds of his ass. His thumbs dig tight circles into Riou's Apollo dimples. It's hard for him not to be at least a little perverted because it's all there, but Jyuto continues running the flats of his palms over the suds after letting his hands sit on Riou's lower back for a moment. ]
[ Riou closes his eyes as Jyuto touches him, shampooing his own hair while Jyuto does that since he wants to go top to bottom, as stated. Some of Jyuto's touches he can tell is properly cleaning, other parts.. well, let's just say they're the sorts of things Riou was resisting the temptation to do only moments earlier. The unnecessary massaging in certain places leaves a hum in his throat of appreciation. ]
You've made fast work of your promotion. As expected of you.
[ He's proud of Jyuto, he's always impressive. There's a small smile on his lips that expresses as much, though his back is turned to Jyuto so he may not see it. Once he's done, Riou turns around again, slow enough that the officer can keep his hands on him if he so chooses. ]
Mm, well. There's a lot of ground to cover. [ Modestly. Jyuto watches Riou's arms lift above his head to form a lather in his hair. Upon doing so, he realizes that he thinks it looks fun. The hands that were on Riou's lower back let go of him gently, disappointed when the shampoo is flushed away by the shower head. Unfortunate timing. ]
You have to condition it, first. I can sit after. [ Jyuto will move in on that opportunity, pumping an ample amount of conditioner into the cupped palm of his hand. Only after collecting it there does he lift his weight higher onto his toes so that he can smooth it over Riou's hair. Scrub, scrub... ]
I'm not hurting; it's just a bit off balance. The soreness will probably hit me tomorrow. [ In case Riou is worried. ]
[ He closes his eyes to let Jyuto condition his hair. His eyes are closed more because it feels very relaxing than because he's worried Jyuto will drop some in his eyes. ]
This feels nice.
[ He's glad that Jyuto isn't hurting then, he'll indulge him (and therefore himself) a little longer. ]
My shampoo and conditioner are one item in my apartment.
[ Theyâreâ a two in one? Jyutoâs delight in scrubbing Riouâs hair with the conditioner is touched and then tainted by some sort of expression upon hearing that. Itâs a mix of surprise and disappointment. He really uses a two in one? ]
Thatâs bad for your hair. [ Jyuto tells him. Thereâs a note of concern, there. Attentive as he is to his own appearance, Jyuto knows a thing or two about self grooming. ] Itâll damage and dry it out, since thereâs no way for you to both strip and replenish the natural oils in one formula.
[ Riouâs ready for a rinse, but Jyuto keeps scrubbing his head a moment longer. ]
I can recommend you a brand. You shouldnât use the two in one anymore.
My hair is short. If it's damaged I can just cut it. This is most efficient.
[ He cuts his own hair, too. Welcome to this weird self-sufficient world Riou lives in with military-like standards. They don't focus on hair and skin care.
He opens his eyes to peer at Jyuto, sincerely but half-lidded from relaxation and affection. ]
All right. I'll have it ready for you by tomorrow evening.
[ Riou's routine isn't satisfactory. He's selling himself short and his hair deserves better than a two in one! As the suds come dripping down, Jyuto carefully makes a visor over Riou's brow line with one hand so that none of them might make it into his eyes. He runs his fingers through pieces of hair, making sure to wash all of the conditioner out of it. ]
Come to think of it, it makes a lot of sense that you wouldn't pay those sort of things any mind. I doubt there was a lot of time to get ready in the morning while enlisted. [ Jyuto imagines himself in an alternate reality, with a G.I. Joe commander yelling at him to get out of bed maggot... ]
[ With Jyuto shielding his eyes from harm, Riou keeps them open and trained on Jyuto's eyes. He's right about RIou's routine. It's based on basic necessities and military standards. He hasn't really sought out anything beyond that, except for sunscreen. SPF will save your life, ok. ]
Permitted military standard personal hygiene items include body powder, hand sanitizer, deodorant, a comb, floss, insect repellent, eye drops, foot powder, a hair brush, lip balm, shampoo, sanitizing wipes, a shaving kit, soap, sunscreen, a toothbrush and toothpaste, towels, and wash cloths.
[ Just so Jyuto knows what Riou uses! That is his whole list. That is literally taken from the field sanitation guide, which Riou has memorized. But if Jyuto wants to make adjustments, Riou will tell him what the list of items is so that Jyuto can make whatever adjustments he wants to it. Because Riou genuinely doesn't mind, he'll do whatever Jyuto wants him to.
But for now, staring at Jyuto through the water drizzling around Jyuto's hand on his forehead (the oddly slick water.. his hair feels so slick...) he leans forward against Jyuto's hand until the other's hand is against his own forehead. He better move it because Riou is coming in for another kiss. A soft one. ]
[ Jyuto's hand falls gracefully, finding a place on Riou's shoulder. His now conditioned hair is wet enough to where his bangs shouldn't fall down to interfere. Jyuto smiles thoughtfully against his lips. ]
It may be a long one, since it doesn't sound like you have a proper skin care routine established yet. I was thinking I could buy the first set of items, write the names down on a list for reference, and then leave it to you to remember the bottles. Something like that.
[ He sinks his weight forward lazily. Done washing, they can swap to a bath now, whenever. ]
[ With that agreement, Riou moves to draw the bath properly and put in the salts tablet so that it's nice and ready. Now they can enjoy their nice relaxing bath, and once that's done and through, he'll make sure that Jyuto gets some proper rest, some cool water, and anything else he might need. ]
