Once again, as he followed Nakano into her darkened bedroom, the boy's jaw dropped.

He'd turned his bedroom into a forest bower for her.  Now she'd turned her bedroom into a spa for him.  

He looked around in wonder as the girl entered the bedroom, placing the candelabra on her desk, next to a chill bucket with what appeared to be another bottle of sparkling blush in it and two glasses just waiting to be used.  She lit a taper from the already burning candles and moved around the area, lighting additional candles she had strategically placed in the room earlier.

The scent of lavender and roses pervaded the room, at once enticing and somehow soothing.  He breathed deeply, watching the girl light more floating candles, giving the room a soft glow.  Large fluffy towels were waiting on the bed, and on the night table were several covered dishes.  Something in the room smelled faintly sweet as well...he couldn't quite put his finger on it.  Smaller towels rested nearby on her dresser, along with bowls that had little curlicues of steam rising from them.  Also lying on the bed were two soft white robes.  Kei's eyebrows raised as he caught sight of them.  Nakano noticed him noticing, and chuckled as she finished lighting the remaining candles.

"Do you like it?"

"Is this...are we having..."  He found himself breathing slowly and deeply, drinking in the scent of the room.  It finally registered on him that soft, soothing music was playing.  It was such a gentle undercurrent of sound it had taken him all this time to even realize it was there.  He already found himself feeling more relaxed, just from having been standing in the room for a few minutes.

"A DIY couple's spa night," Nakano said, "Indeed we are."

"DIY?"

"I made the massage oils and facial masks we are going to be using myself."

Kei blinked, staring at the girl.  "There is no way you did all this for under 2500 yen."

She grinned at him.  "I promise, lover boy, I did.  Most of what I spent is in those little bowls over there," she said wryly, indicating the night table, "but I believe you'll find it worth it.  Now, the first thing we'll need to do is change into something more appropriate for a spa experience."  She indicated the robes on the bed, taking one up for herself.  "I'll change in the bathroom, I need to refresh the hot water bowls anyway.  Make yourself comfortable, love, but just remember that the more of your skin I can get to, the better this is going to feel."

"I like the sound of that, Roses."

She leaned into him, kissing him sweetly.  "I thought you might.  Remember, though, this is a couple's spa.  So prepare yourself love, because I expect you to do to me what I do to you."  The look on her face could only be described as sultry.

"I like the sound of that even more."

She chuckled deep in her throat, the sound sending a pleasurable shiver up Kei's spine.  "So do I," she whispered as she slipped into the bathroom, shutting the door behind her.

Kei shivered with anticipation as he set his bag on the bed, pulling out a soft gold colored tee shirt and the silky purple boxer shorts he'd added to the bag at the last minute.  I am very glad I decided to bring these, he thought, quickly beginning to strip out of his clothes.  He hesitated as he got down to his briefs, wondering if he should leave them on, having a pretty decent idea of where this couple's spa experience might be leading.  On one hand, the tighter briefs would keep things more...controlled, he mused, however, the feel of the silky fabric against my skin...  Another shiver ran through him at the thought.
