Giyuu's POV
He didn’t have any ill intent or actual meanness behind anything he said so I didn’t care. He is just a naturally grumpy guy, he reminds me of a whiny cat.
I smiled at that thought and then he snapped to get my attention. After he was done showing me how to work a remote, he went into the bathroom to take a shower. I should probably take one after him. I haven’t showered in so long, since the morning of the escape.
Which has been a week or two. I felt absolutely grimy and disgusting, I also smelled horrible. I heard him yell ‘fuck yes, hot water!!!’ and I almost laughed out loud. I stood up and sighed, thinking about everything that had happened. My father is probably mad that I am gone but he won’t miss me. I won’t miss him either though. After fifteen minutes he came out in a towel, once again I got to see his muscular scarred body.
I quickly looked away and asked about the clothes we have. He said he has a few pairs in the bag we have. I sighed and went into the bathroom, it had one more big towel. I grabbed it and put it near the shower. It was a tub but it had a showerhead, so if I wanted I could take a bath. I left the bathroom and told Sanemi that I will be taking a bath and then cleaning off in the shower. He shrugged and didn’t look like he cared at all.
I went back into the bathroom and closed the door. A bath will be very nice, calming and relaxing for me. I started the water and made it to my liking and clogged the drain so it could be a bath. Once it was ready I turned off the water and undressed. Then I got in and sighed, it was really relaxing and soothing.
I stayed in the bath for about fifteen minutes and then drained it and took a quick shower. I cleaned during the shower and was glad to be clean again. I turned off the water and dried myself off. Then I put the towel around my waist and picked up my dirty clothes. I walked out of the bathroom and set the clothes in a pile near a corner. Sanemi was sitting on the bed, wearing some t-shirt and boxers and with the TV on but he was looking at me.
It was awkward for a moment but he looked away facing the TV. He seemed to be blushing but I couldn’t really tell because I had to get dressed too. I grabbed the bag and looked through it, I saw a pack of new boxers. I really hope we can fit the same size.

“Those ones can fit many different body types. Or so it says, just try it on. There are also some shirts. Pants for tomorrow and a few socks. I didn’t get a lot so we could save money till we have an actual house.”

It made sense to me. I just grabbed some boxers and put them on, then I froze after I did. I just got changed in front of him… I looked up at him, my eyes in shock, I wasn’t able to put on my poker face. His face looked red, he was in shock too and quickly grabbed a pillow and threw it at my face. He then looked away. I set the pillow down and looked in the bag for a hair brush, there was one. So I picked it up and started brushing my hair.
It was my first time brushing it since Sanemi cut it. I decided not to put a shirt on so I can save it for tomorrow. After I finished brushing my hair I went back into the bathroom and finished getting ready. I sat by Sanemi and watched a little bit of TV with him. My mind was racing from that little incident. I felt really embarrassed, he saw me completely naked. I know I have seen him, but not his full body. I closed my eyes and tried to calm myself down, no need to get worked up.
Many men see each other naked, problem is I am gay. Very gay and nobody other than imediate family, doctors and some maids have seen me naked. I opened my eyes and laid down. After about ten minutes I heard the TV turn off and Sanemi got up. He went to the bathroom and after about five to ten minutes he came out. I unintentionally looked at him and then looked away. He turned off the lights and laid down on the bed. He then scoffed and spoke up.

“It’s fucking fine. You have a nice body, leave it at that. Now go to sleep.”

I closed my eyes and calmed down a bit. He still complemented me so I was a little surprised.
I wonder how many things will change as we continue to live together. I eventually fell asleep and soon morning came. I woke up to see Sanemi facing me, he was still asleep. I quietly got up and got ready for the day. Then I left the room and went downstairs, many people were in the diner.
Mitsuri waved at me and I nodded and I looked at the clock. It was almost eight-thirty am. Then I left the diner-hotel for a small walk. I walked for a few minutes before I saw a newspaper boy. He seemed young, thirteen or fourteen years old. He had black and tealish blue hair. He seemed very quiet and calm, so I then asked for a newspaper.
He handed it over and I read through it. No news about my kingdom. They don’t get any news about my kingdom, that is good. We are free, truly free. Then the newspaper boy asked me if I wanted one. I shook my head and gave the newspaper back, he seemed slightly annoyed but then spaced off.
I just shrugged it off and walked back to the diner-hotel. Mitsuri was behind the counter helping out a customer and smiled at me. I nodded again and went upstairs and into my room. I opened the door and went in then closed the door. Sanemi was awake and was sitting on the bed fully dressed.

“Where the hell were you?”

“I went on a walk, and checked the newspaper. No news of my kingdom, we are far enough.”
