Gokudera enjoyed the content silence between them, feeling the weight and warmth of his lover's body as he calmed down was wonderful. Even feeling their bodies breath together made him smile.

And then those words. Those three beautiful words. Gokudera smiled and pushed himself up, slipping his hand behind Ryuutaro's head and pulling him into a sloppy, tired, loving, and misty-eyed kiss.

Dammit, he would learn not to cry every time Ryuutaro told him he loved him sooner or later.

And then he fell back again after a moment, too exhausted for more elaborate kissing. With a great big smile plastered on his face he looked over at Ryuutaro, and gently stroked his cheek with the back of his hand laughing a little to himself.

"If we... didn't need a shower before, we sure as hell do now."

Ryuutaro returned the laughter with a light chuckle of his own.
"I was about to say the very same thing." Naturally without the 'as hell', but that was so obvious, it was not worth mentioning.

But despite those words and the very obvious necessity Ryuutaro could not gather the energy to get up just yet. Instead he moved a little bit closer to Hayato, smiling quietly.
He had to admit that Hayato had succeeded to make him want to stay in bed longer.

Truth be told Hayato was pretty spent himself.

"Mmmm bath sounds better... don't feel like standing."

He scoops Ryuutaro onto his lap and lovingly cradles his naked form in his arms. He was holding the very life he loved more than anything in his arms, and he could feel it. The warmth of his body, his heartbeat, his scent, the rising and falling of his chest, it was all his. He closed his eyes and Hayato gently ran his hand down Ryuutaro's back, feeling the ridges of his spine, and then over his lover's rear, just enjoying the way his soft, perfect little body curved. They were so close. Just so close. The whole feeling was simply intoxicating.

"Wanna take one with me?"

Ryuutaro kept his eyes closed and just leaned his boy and face against Hayato, letting him touch him all he wanted to.
It felt a bit odd to just allow him to do so, even now that he had all his mental abilities back and wasn't lost to his body anymore. Over and over, it was alright with him. Over and over...
Right now Ryuutaro was happy. All of him was just in such a peaceful and calm state, it was amazing.

It took him a moment to reply to Hayato's question. Bath... together? Well, Hayato had seen him in every possible state, touched him at every possible place already...

"It'd be my pleasure."

Gokudera smiles, and gives Ryuutaro a loving kiss before moving him onto the bed.

"I'll go start it."

And VERY reluctantly, Gokudera lets go and separates from Ryuutaro for the first time since the previous night. It only takes him a few minutes to prepare the bath, that he knew would be worth it. The muscles in his thighs were sore, and his back ached a bit, even for someone as physically fit as himself, and actually walking made it clear just how achy he was.

He comes back out with a big smiles on his face and makes his way to the bed, scootching up next to Ryuutaro happily.

"Want me to carry you in? You look pretty beat."

Ryuutaro contemplated his answer for a second. He would say he could walk himself and that it was completely unnecessary, but then again he was physically more than exhausted and it just seemed like a nice idea.... Oh, for today he'd just give in to it. He had already given in to so much and not regretted, it seemed like it hardly mattered anymore for the time being.

The fortune-teller smiled at his boyfriend. "Let me put it this way... I wouldn't object should you feel the need to do so..."

Gokudera gave Ryuutaro a happy peck on the cheek as he slid on arm under the bend of his knees and the other behind his back, scooping him up into his arms and carrying him to the bathroom. He sets Ryuutaro down gently just before the bathtub, giving him time to get used to standing after everything they had done.

"You get in first."

~~How good it was to be a princess...~~

After a first moment of unsureness Ryuutaro got used to standing, even if he wasn't intending to do so for long. Instead he nodded and turned to hesitantly move into the water. Hesitantly at first. But as soon as he found out that it felt warm and soothing he just let himself down into it.
Only two seconds and he already knew this was a very good idea. He looked up at Hayato waiting for him to follow.
Somewhere deep down the boy couldn't help but feel a bit fluttery, even if he himself didn't know why anymore.

And Hayato slips in behind Ryuutaro, slowly easing himself into the warm bath with a pleased groan. He smiled and leaned back against the wall of the tub, letting his arms rest on the sides. Damn this felt good. He could feel the strained muscles and soreness just melt away in the warm water. Once he's all nice and comfortable he pulls Ryuutaro back so that he could lean against his chest.

"This feels damn good..."

Just how badly had they needed this?
Ryuutaro did lean back against Hayato, but then shifted so that he could actually look at his boyfriend. The past time had been so perfect, it was barely believable.
Ryuutaro relaxed, loving the warm feeling on water on his skin.

"I agree...", he whispered with a silent and content voice, "It was a really good idea.."

Hayato moved his hand so that he could brush some water up on Ryuutaro's back to wash away the sweat. Which turns into a movement of him just rubbing Ryuutaro's back.

He felt like he should say something about what they had just done, it was such a major step in their relationship. They were really together, but just what exactly could he say? He wasn't exactly the most graceful person when it came to verbalizing his ideas. He held Ryuutaro just a bit tighter.

"We... really did it..."

Yeah... he's just a regular Shakespeare there. Then something dawned on him.

"Uh... are you feelin' alright? I was... probably too rough...."

After all if HE was sore he couldn't imagine how Ryuutaro felt being n the receiving end...

Ryuutaro chuckled. "Don't worry about it... And the word isn't 'rough', it's 'passionate', I believe."
Actually, he was pretty sure he would not be moving much today. The sore feeling did not bother him, he was way too relaxed to mind something this little, but that didn't mean he wanted to push his limits.
Ryuutaro's hand casually brushed over Hayato's chest. In all his poetic glory Hayato had still been right. They did it... actually did.
There wasn't anything closer they could get anymore. From now on Ryuutaro knew there was nothing further to worry about.

Hayato takes Ryuutaro's hand in his own and holds it over his heart, then leans down for a loving little kiss in apology for any aches and pains Ryuutaro might be feeling. ~~But, you know, not really all that sorry because it felt damn good~~.

"I'm glad it doesn't ache too much then... being with you like that... felt real good."

'real good' was the only way he could even attempt to explain it. Honestly there were no words to describe how everything had felt. He had gotten so close to his boyfriend, they were together... and he had heard Ryuutaro say those three little words that had never been spoken to him with such meaning before. He never wanted this to end. He wanted to be with Ryuutaro, and make love to him, and hear him say that he loves him until the day he died.

"It did...", Ryuutaro whispered, his face only a few inches apart from Hayato's. He could feel his heartbeat against his hand and that was just amazing.
To think he used to hate letting people touch him even briefly when he first met Hayato and now allowed this boy to hold him for hours... days..
It felt just way too perfect for Ryuutaro to ever deny it.

"I'm...", he started without even knowing what he wanted to say, "I'm... really glad."
When did his level of wording things drop down to be like Hayato's? It hardly mattered though.
Ryuutaro smiled and leaned in for another kiss.

"Me too..."

And Hayato more than happily complied with Ryuutaro's wish for a kiss, leaning in and closing the space between them. He slipped his free arm around Ryuutaro's back, holding him closer.

This felt perfect. Just this moment right here. He was with the boy he loved, and he was... home for the first time in years. Granted this wasn't Sicily, but he knew the area. It was familiar. For once he felt like he could just completely relax and lose himself in these tender touches. And Ryuutaro was happy. Usually Hayato had thought he could only make others happy at his own expense, hence why he put 110% of his effort into everything.

Hayato smiles into the kiss, passionately taking Ryuutaro's lips. He had become quite ~~skilled~~ at kissing after all the years of practice.

Ryuutaro returned the kiss in his sweet way, making it last for several minutes. His hand wandered through Hayato's hair, like it did ever-so-often when they kissed.
It was so nice, so calm... When they slowly break apart a happy little smile is on Ryuutaro's lips.
He let himself sink down further into the water again, his body always as close to Hayato's as it was possible, and let out a content sigh.
"At this rate I'm running danger of letting myself be turned into a lazy person... you make this calmness just so very enjoyable..."

Hayato snuggled close with a rare calm and content smile on his face, with no crease between his brows. A peaceful expression that was usually only reserved for when he was sleeping.

"Lazy?" He chuckles, "Come on, I haven't even shown you half the city. Don't quit on me now!"

He rubs Ryuutaro's back a bit more.

"Here, turn around and I'll wash your back."

"Well, it's like that I will muster up some more energy", Ryuutaro laughed lightly. As if anything could ever keep him inside for long anyway.
At the second part he did as he was told and also reached back to get the longer part of his hair out of the way.

As he did so, he smiled to himself. It was amazing to imagine that this person here was the same boy who'd glare at people at the streets, blow up every possible thing and always would be so pissed off.
It was nice to see what sides of Hayato he could bring out, which were just his to see.

Hayato starts to lather and rinse his boyfriend's back. He's trying to be gentle, but being gentle was something he was just so inexperienced at, so instead it came off as being rather gruff and clumsy- but that was Hayato. Once he's finished he places his hands on Ryuutaro's shoulder blade, gently running his thumb over it.

"Your skin's so soft."

And he leans down to just rub his cheek against the soft flesh.

This was really less than optimal touching, but Ryuutaro couldn't mind. It was just such a Hayato-y thing to do and feel like.

At those words he smirked to himself, while closing his eyes. Maybe he wouldn't want to stay like this forever, but it was close to it.
"You seem to like that a lot..."

He laughs a little.

"It probably seems weird, huh?" He wraps his arms around Ryuutaro so that his hands lay on the younger boy's chest.

"But in comparison to mine... it feels so strange! But in a good way. I-it's hard to explain..." He takes a deep calming breath, then sighs, "Maybe it's just you..."

Hayato lets his eyes flutter shut for a moment. There was this content feeling of safety that he just couldn't explain when he was with the other boy.

"I'm gonna just fall asleep like this if I don't move..." funny thing here is he's not making any effort to move.

Ryuutaro leaned back a bit more, chuckling silently.
"So? But what about the things you still need to show me?"
But he didn't move either, it was just too comfortable for that. He idly wondered if they were going to stay like this until the water would turn cold...
This really was the calmest most peaceful day of his life. And he enjoyed it.

He laughed and peeled himself off the soft comfort of his lover's back, "Right, right." The teen stretched and sat himself back a little,"Sleepin' in the tub is kind of a dumbass idea anyway."

Hayato brought his hand to run through Ryuutaro's hair, between the water and sweat, it clung to his boyfriend's head and face.

"We should probably actually wash our hair or somethin' before we get out..."

Ryuutaro nodded, still smiling brightly. While he was used to smiling all the time, it was kind of odd to have the smile to stuck on his face that it'd be hard to stop if he wanted to.
"That sounds like a wise idea, indeed."
He looked around for some shampoo or anything close-by and conveniently spotted some, even though... why where his arms so short again that he couldn't even reach it from this position? This was a bit embarassing.

Oh god he was just the cutest damn thing...

Hayato leaned forward again, extending his arm next to Ryuutaro's and grabbing the shampoo for him and placing it in Ryuutaro's hand. When he brought back his hand he lets it run across the fair skin of his boyfriend's slender and graceful arm. He may have been small, but Hayato loved every inch of him.
