R’nd would have been lying if he said he didn’t find the view of B’jin scrambling for the bathing supplies amusing and delightful. It was nice to know that the man liked the surprise enough that he didn’t want to get out of the water, even for the items that would help make him sparkling clean again. A soft chuckle was given but it vanished when the bag was retrieved and B’jin returned with the soap-sand.
The temptation to distract B’jin from his task, especially once hands started running over his body, was strong but somehow R’nd kept his hands to himself. Mostly it was due to knowing the greenrider well enough that getting clean was something that had been craved for days and R’nd didn’t want to make B’jin wait any longer, even if the reason would be enjoyable. But other reasons were he knew they had plenty of time to play and fully enjoy their private paradise and, as selfish as it was, R’nd enjoyed the pampering B’jin was giving him and he nearly purred when fingers worked the sand-soap through his hair.
Finally finding a bit of his usual self again that wasn’t complete putty in B’jin’s soapy hands, R’nd started applying the soap-sand to B’jin as well. Words weren’t needed as they enjoyed each other’s company with the simple yet currently decadent task of bathing. When B’jin was done with his hair, R’nd left it in the soapy sculpture his lover had no doubt created so he could slip around B’jin to wash with a bit a massage a back and shoulders that seemed far too tense in recent days. He worked slowly, hands working as palms and knuckles took turns kneading their way down the spine and over each taut muscle.
Once satisfied that B’jin was clean and relaxed, R’nd finished the massage and took a moment to wash the suds from his hair. Wet strands were brushed away from his face when he resurfaced and despite only half of their bodies being cleaned, R’nd made it intermission and wrapped his arms around B’jin from behind. He kissed a shoulder before dropping his head to rest on it. “If we built a little home in the clearing, we could spend every day lounging in or by the water. It’d be peaceful and far more convenient than making a trip from the Weyr proper.” His voice was soft and full of whimsical longing as he stared at nothing in particular but enjoyed the soothing sound of water around them with B’jin in his arms.
