BATHE: for sender to bathe receiver, meticulously and tenderly as if serving them. - nachim @ axel CONCEPT: a week or so after waking up on his ship and hes being looked after by them all yet still basically a prisoner <3
Nachim's hands seemed to glide over his tender skin carefully and meticulously, as if trying not to break the naval officer. It annoyed Axel. He didn't want this but he needed this. His wounds needed cleaning and dressing and with his shoulder fucked, he didn't have a chance of handling it himself without opening them. He fought it at first, unwilling to have someone take care of him; especially a pirate, but in the end, he had to allow it to keep himself from going septic.
He didn't remove all of his clothes however, keeping on his undergarments to maintain some sense of control and dignity. Although, a voice in his head whispered to him about how there's hardly any dignity in hiding. It was more like not wanting to feel anymore vulnerable than he already did.
Axel already had to keep his eyes on Nachim in case the man said or did anything, when all he really wanted deep down was to close his eyes and rest his head. He was still pissed at the man, pissed at this position, but the warm water soothed the tension that had been lingering in his muscles the past few days and it made him tired.
"How do you manage to look so smug while bathing me?"
