Hoe for Hosie

Morning Routine

Josie's PoV

"Hope? Is that you?" I called out as someone knocked on my door.

I opened the door and saw Hope standing there, hands on her hips, a shaky frown curling her pink lips into a pout.

My heart sank slightly at the sight, and I walked over to pull her into a hug.

Hope sniffled lightly, curling her arms around my waist and leaning her head against my chest with a small sigh. I hummed softly, tightening my arms as I held her for a little longer, before speaking again.

"Another monster?" I asked softly, rubbing her back lightly as she squeezed me a little tighter. She nodded against my chest. "Wanna talk about it?"

"Mmm," Hope mumbled, nodding her head as her tense shoulders began to relax.

Taking a deep breath, she pulled away from me slightly so she could speak clearly, telling me about her absolutely awful day; how she'd made a small mistake in dealing with a monster, which resulted in Kaleb getting injured.

I made sympathetic noises as she spoke, showing that I was listening and gently comforting her.

As Hope began to trail off with a small tired sigh, an idea came to my mind.

Deciding that my poor girlfriend deserved a pick-me-up after such a rough day, I gently pulled away to meet her eye.

"Aw, I'm sorry you had such a bad day, honey," I murmured, pressing a sweet kiss to her lips, lingering for a moment before pulling back fully. "How about you go and take a nice, hot bath?" I suggested. She nodded and gave me a peck on the lips before heading to the bathroom.

Hope's PoV

There is nothing as great as a hot bath after a mission.

Especially in a bathtub. I can feel my aching muscles slowly relaxing in the warm water. I sighed and lay my head back against the edge of the bathtub and close my eyes.

Simply enjoying the warmth surrounding me.

It didn't take long for Josie to came in the bathroom. I opened my eyes and look at her.

My breath catches in my throat at the sight of Josie undressing; the soft curve of her hips and the shape of her breasts are very much like that of a work of art, something that I would admire with awe.

The bathtub in Josie's room is larger than most, so we had no problem taking a bath together.

After undressing, Josie joined me in the bathtub. She wrapped her arms around my body, pressing a kiss to my cheek. The affectionate gesture brings a smile to my face.

God, I love her.

She put a shampoo on my hair and I melted under her touch as Josie washed my hair and massaged my scalp.

I really loved having my hair played with, I always fell asleep when Josie ran her fingers through my hair when we lay together. The warm water felt amazing as she washed out the shampoo before massaging in the conditioner as well.

When Josie finished washing my hair, I moved to turn around in the tub, the both of us are laughing as we awkwardly tried to maneuver around without spilling water onto the bathroom floor. Josie ended up turned to face me, practically in my lap. Josie ran her hands down my chest for a moment before leaning forward to give me a chaste kiss. I smiled against her lips.
