[ This moment is so tender and warm that even in the heat of the water, Ryouma feels his face flush all the way to the tips of his ears. He can chalk it up to being drunk -- that's not the truth, but it's the only thing he's willing to accept right now.
He leans down to press a kiss to his forehead, putting his arms around him in turn. It's warm, it's comforting, it's dangerous... ]
But ya wouldn't be so relaxed if I was bad at it, would ya?
[ Ryouma holds him for a few moments longer before he pats his back. ]
Go on an' get yerself dried off, I'll be along in a li'l bit, alright?
[ He can clean himself up without any help -- not that he'd object to it, but Izō looks like he can barely keep his eyes open right now. The important thing is that Izō's needs have been tended to and he's satisfied with the outcome. ]
[ and he might've intended that to be immediate, but like earlier, getting started takes a little time. if standing there any longer were more comfortable, he probably would've. izō unwinds his arms from around ryouma's waist reluctantly, drawing in a deep breath and letting it out again slowly as he straightens up. at least he looks a little more alert now, enough to make it to the bed and all. maybe it would've been better if he'd done it without bracing himself with his hands on ryouma's chest but whatever.
izō looks like he's considering his options for a second before the sleepiness wins out. ]
Later...
[ so maybe next time? in any case, he gives ryouma a light pat with one hand before he gets out, probably lucky to manage it without tripping. he grabs a towel on his way back to the other room before leaving ryouma to do what he needs to do...
at least he managed to be thorough about drying off before getting to the bed because izō didn't manage to accomplish anything else other than flopping onto it face down. ]
[ Cute...Dangerously cute. Ryouma watches him go, making sure he gets out safely before he cleans himself up. It doesn't take him too much longer, mostly because if he did linger too long in the hot water, he'd risk falling asleep standing up.
Off goes the shower, out steps Ryouma. He dries himself off, leaving the towel on the floor before shuffling out to the other room. Izō laying there is also extremely cute and he can't help but lay down alongside him, draping an arm over him.
Warm, clean, and satisfied, it's easy to give into sleep -- easier still with the booze in him. He presses a sleepy kiss to Izō's shoulder. ]
