ට wc; 1.5k
ට ARGENTI
his flaming locks get all messed up and cling to your face as you play with each curly strand, creating beautiful braids around his handsome features. you sit on his lap as his hands keep caressing your sides, cleaning you slowly with the flowery soap. the scented candles give the atmosphere a more magical glow, the flickering flames reflecting in argenti's eyes who is so focused on touching and showering you with affection that he seems not to notice your plans.
until you suddenly blow lightly on one of the candles and let a small droplet of molten wax fall down his shoulder.
he shivers and a surprised moan reaches your ears, the expression of blissful surprise not missing your gaze. he looks embarrassed when you giggle and repeat the action, a series of sweet purrs filling the air as his back arches with every droplet that falls down his chest, his hands clutching at your hips in search of relief from the hot sensation.
ට BLADE
"it is pleasurable..." he mutters under his breath as his muscles tense under your feathery touch.
your fingertips trace the uncountable scars all over his body, applying gentle pressure where he seems stiff to let him relax, even if it's only until he leaves the bath. the fact that blade himself agreed to come here in the first place was a surprise, persuaded â or forced â by kafka who saw his underlying exhaustion.
soaking in the hot water is indeed something enjoyable, but his pride wouldn't let him admit how much better it feels to feel you close, massaging the knots in his muscles and helping him forget the constant stress for a moment. his head hangs low as he melts into your touch and he doesn't complain when he suddenly feels your chest against his back, the warmth of your body enveloping him from behind.
"i hope this will bring you a little comfort..." your whisper tickles his ear and a shaky sigh escapes his lips when your arms snake around his chest, pulling him closer. the next thing he is aware of is the sweet scent of your hair surrounding him as you caress him and plant small kisses on his shoulders.
ට DAN HENG
with his back turned to you, it's hard to see his reaction, but the way his muscles tense and shiver slightly from your light touches, it seems that he enjoys the bath a little too much. you run your hands down his back, tracing the outlines of his muscles and applying gentle pressure around his shoulders, kneading the knots that have built over time.
"dan heng, please, don't worry this much..."
you notice the moment he bites back a breathy gasp and you only smile under your nose, your palms continuing to trace his wet body, the foamy water giving your touch a slippery sensation that makes him shudder.
it doesn't help his focus at all when your hands start travelling up and down his side, massaging his tense waist and then returning to his back, and he has to bite his lip not to let a quiet moan escape his lips when he feels you suddenly pressing your chest to his back.
"how can i not worry when i do not know when will you touch me next..." he mutters and hangs his head low, his face burning up so much from the steam and your ministrations, he has trouble breathing.
ට DR. RATIO
the doctor hums with pleasure as your naked back nuzzles against his chest, the soapy foam making it all slippery so he has to hold you in his arms to keep you close. his fingers move up and down your belly, tickling you and making you giggle, and as he whispers a question into your ear, it catches you by surprise that he still thinks about the lecture he gave a few hours earlier. seems like he really can't stop making everything about gaining knowledge and expanding one's horizons.
"you're busy with it even when we bathe? seriously?" you laugh quietly, turning your head to look into his amber eyes.
"my mind never rests" he smiles sheepishly and pecks your lips "but i can make an exception if you prove yourself worth my attention."
you gasp playfully offended and try to wiggle out of his embrace, but you don't put much force into it and before long his hands already travel up to caress your sides and you purr softly, leaning against him once again.
ට GEPARD
he holds you close in his strong arms, the feeling of safety and warmth enveloping your body together with the pleasant scent of the bath. the bubbles create an innocent barrier between you two yet his soft whispers tickling your ear betray what he truly desires â too shy to say it out loud, he wishes you would understand his mumbling and words dying in his throat.
"oh... the man commanding an army of soldiers is unable to tell me what he wants?" at your words, his blush spreads further up his cheeks when your giggles meet his ears, his heart skipping a beat when you lean and caress his lips with your own.
a muffled sound leaves his mouth as he eagerly melts into the kiss and pulls you closer, the hot water splashing around your bodies as you move to press tighter against his lap.
"i didn't know military men were such cuties..."
"please... i am not cute," he breathes, the hot steam covering his already flushed face, and you just smile and kiss his eyelids, letting him sink lower into the water.
ට JING YUAN
"the bath is indeed so relaxing i could take a nap here..." jing yuan purrs as his head tilt back to rest on the edge of the pool, the cold surface so pleasant in contrast to the hot steam covering the water's surface.
"there are sure nicer things to do now than dozing off, general..." the sultry whisper of your voice reaches his ears as you press against his lap, your legs parting to settle yourself comfortably on his thighs, the ripples splashing quietly between your bodies.
his eyes snap open and a surprised sound escapes his lips the moment he sees you so close, the sensation sending goosebumps across his skin. the smile you give him is teasing as you wrap your arms around his neck and play with his fluffy hair, twirling the damp ends around your fingers. his cheeks are already burning from the hot bath and when he leans to peck your lips, you don't let him back off and pull him closer, hungrily tasting his mouth.
ට LUOCHA
he takes you in his arms, gently lowering until you soak in the warm surface of the water. golden cascades of his hair envelop your face when he leans down to keep his eyes on your face, the tender gaze not leaving your flushed cheeks.
as he slowly starts to massage your shoulders and spread the fragrant oils over your body, you purr at the feeling of his fingers kneading your skin so tenderly.
"does it feel good?" he whispers against your temple, the small gesture sending shivers through your whole being and making you melt completely in his embrace.
"indeed... very much so..."
you raise a hand and cup his cheek, pulling him close for a gentle kiss that soon gets deepened into something passionate. he sighs softly against your lips and holds you closer, the foamy bubbles dancing around your entangled bodies as the hot bath keeps you two warm.
ට SAMPO
"don't you think it's unfair you get to see me like this without paying anything?" he asks with a worried voice, his never-stopping performance not working on you anymore yet he keeps acting as if in doubt his skills would deteriorate in your presence.
you only chuckle under your nose and sneak your arms around his sides, dragging your fingers playfully on his skin as the previously still water stirs between you two.
"would you take offense if i paid for it with a kiss?" you giggle, already tilting your head to reach his neck and brush the spot with your lips.
sampo shudders, but doesn't protest and lets out a long sigh as he leans against you, melting into your touches as he always does whenever the chance presents itself. his hands wrap around your frame and hold you close, the hot steamy air surrounding you two making him breathe quicker and his pulse getting louder.
"that's clearly manipulation."
"and it's working."
ට WELT
"are you enjoying yourself, dear?" his question so polite, you just have to turn your head and look at his gentle face adorned with soft wrinkles. his arms are wrapped loosely around your frame, only the top of your shoulders visible above the surface, as you lay between his thighs, your back pressed to his chest. you raise your hands and let the droplets of water flow down your fingers and back into the bath, smiling when welt leans and catches your hands before they sink underwater, and kisses them tenderly.
"indeed. but maybe a little too cold already..." you admit, already leaning back and snuggling closer to him, the soft chuckle reaching your ears right away.
he reaches blindly for the towels and wraps one around your shoulders, keeping you warm and protected, his chest moving against your back whenever he breathes.
"this is my task. to keep you warm and happy."
