Now first off, planning the bath.
He probably only thinks about it on slow days or after one or both of you were away for a long time on some sort of mission (those ones are usually the softest times 🏃), or maybe he plans it as some sort of reward for you. Honestly depends on his mood, because this man never takes day offs.
He'd run the bath himself,
Arranging candles, scented or not, it really depends on what you prefer, making sure the water temperature is just right, picking out the soaps and shampoos, preparing the robes and towels for when you're done, setting the mood- it's all extra, yes, but he makes sure it's perfect. Every little thing is planned carefully to ensure the experience is relaxing for the both of you (Celestia knows just how exhausting it is to work for the Fatui- and he's a Harbinger, no less- man's needs some breaks too). Such a task can't be entrusted to anyone else but him.
Getting you to join him / how the bath goes in general;
Now this is the easiest part usually. At first the premise was embarrassing, definitely nerve wracking with just how intimate it was, but after some time of getting him accustomed to it he found that he really enjoys it. Definitely calms his very stressed self down– the warm water against your skins, you pressed up against him as he holds you close, the soothing scent of the candles if you're into that, and depending on what kind of tech they do and dont have (which they most likely do because... Hello??? Tech genius Dottore here???), soft music playing from some kind of radio he built for you as a gift. Half the bath wouldn't even be a bath it's just cuddling with extra steps 💀. But, although the comforting silence is nice, his favorite part is when you get to wash each other's hairs. He can't decide if he likes being on the giving or receiving end of it more- both are comforting. On one hand, when you wash his hair, the feel of your fingers scratching lightly against his scalp as you lather the shampoo would admittedly just make every single worry he has poof in that moment. No thoughts just,, soft. He's so touch starved god help. But on the other, once he gets to wash your hair he's uncharacteristically gentle- surgeon level gentle- and he definitely ends up getting distracted by playing with your hair. Again, it calms him.
After the bath,
All good things unfortunately must come to an end. That, and as comfortable as you both are, you don't want to end up looking like human raisins so you have to get out eventually. That doesn't mean the affection stops there though oh no no– he'll help dry you off if need be (it's really all just an excuse to keep touching you bc after all this he's really craving the intimacy, the touch starved fuck, but ykw it's valid he deserves it), and if you're the type to blowdry your hair after the shower for whatever reason, he'll help with that too. Once you're both in your robes he's immediately rushing to bed , hell sometimes he'll just go "fuck it" and carry you there himself.
(Yes, the bed is also made. Yes, he planned that too)
Yk how warm and cozy fluffy sheets n stuff are when they're fresh out the dryer? Yeah. That's what's set up. Best shit ever as he lays you down next to him and hold you while you both drift off to sleep- or sometimes he'll have you lay on him and vice versa. Not that he'll actually lay on you, assuming you're shorter than him (if you're not then he might😍), but he will rest his head on your chest just to feel your heartbeat as his own races and pounds against his chest. Being around you for so long, he's been conditioned to such closeness by now but there's no getting rid of that soft n fuzzy feeling whenever he's with you.
