Just a little panel from my favorite sbr arc. Anyways, onto the story now.

I entered a door on the left side and finally found it.

Diego's pov:
I went to get the luggage in. I carried our stuff to the living room with the fireplace. I placed them near the door and opened one of Y/N's bags. I searched through her things. She had some very interesting objects... But then I found that bottle. I grabbed the shampoo and ran through the corridor and to the bathroom. I opened the door. I saw Y/N cleaning the bathroom.
"Is it done?" I asked her. "Yup, it is." She put the cleaning cloth away.
I took off my shirt and placed it on the sink counter. I was going to wash my clothes later.
After that, I entered the bathtub and sat down. She was still staying out. "Aren't you gonna shower too?" I questioned. "No actually. Just washing your hair." She took the hand shower and turned on the water. Then started adjusting the temperature. "Is that okay?" Y/N asked. I held my hand to feel the water. It was really warm. "Yeah, it's fi-" she put the hand shower on top of my head. Water was going down my face and my hair went into my eyes. Then she put the shampoo. "Be more gentle! I thought I was gonna drown." I complained. She just chuckled.
Y/N began rubbing her fingers through my hair. I loved that feeling. Her hands were really small and it was so nice. I enjoyed it a lot. Then she wet my hair once again. The hot water was going down my neck to my shoulders and my back, and it was very relaxing. It didn't get on my face this time.
She shampooed it once again.
"Okay, it's done." She tried leaving, but I grabbed her by the hand and tried stopping her, but instead I pulled her way too much and she fell into the bathtub. "The hell?! My clothes are wet now!" She shouted and looked upset. "It's okay, I'm gonna wash them later." I attempted to calm her down. "Why did you do that?!" Y/N tried getting out, but I didn't let her go. "There's warm water here. We don't know when we'll have the opportunity to shower again. And I really wanted to enjoy a bath with you again." I really didn't have a reason why, it just seemed fun. "Well you got a point.." She agreed. "But I'm still kind of upset!" She splashed water on my face. Now, that was just straight up mean out of nowhere. "I see, that's how it's going to be." I splashed some water back at her. "Hey-! I didn't want to get my hair wet!" She cried out as she wiped off the water from her eyes. "Aww, that's too bad." I laughed. Then we started a fight...
We finished the water duel and everything was dampened in water. "Uh- Well, who actually lives here?" Y/N looked around. "...By the looks of it, it's provided by the race. Even if it wasn't, who cares." I answered her. "Good luck to the people that will be cleaning after us-" she chuckled. "Yea, right." I laughed along with her. I was actually having fun.. Spending time with Y/N was pleasant and I liked it. "It's really nice having some enjoyable time together. Now I get why Gyro and Johnny took a liking to you." I said. "I- Yeah, I guess." She looked flustered. "That's why everyone looks up to you, isn't it..." I sighed. We were truly nothing alike. She was such a bright person. Her selfless personality was exceptionally foolish, but in the same time that was a very delightful trait she had. I really despised naive people, however I couldn't get myself to dislike her good-natured character. "..What?" She asked confused. "Nothing, just don't mind what I said." I brushed it off. "Okayy, but I'll now go change because it's getting really late." She got out and got a towel to dry herself up. "And don't forget to wash my clothes later!" Y/N ran out the door.
After some time the water in the tub wasn't even warm anymore. I got out too and pulled the drain stopper.

I went searching for Y/N so I could wash her wet clothes...
I could smell her scent from the living room. She was warming up by the fireplace, but noticed me and looked back. "Oh, Diego- My clothes are on the couch there." She pointed to the other side of the room. I picked them up and left again...

..After washing all of our clothes I felt very tired. I decided to check up on her again. She was now lying down, sleeping. I sighed and knelt down to her "It's nice sleeping beside the fireplace, isn't it..." I looked at the warm fire. "Hope you don't mind sharing this place with me." I got up and went to get a blanket and some pillows.
I placed one under her and then mine next to it. I laid down next to her and put the blanket over. I turned to my side. "It was a really long day, yeah?.. I'm sorry for earlier too.." I whispered, just talking to myself since she was asleep.. Then out of nowhere she reached out to hug me. "I forgive you." She murmured. "You are not asleep after all." I said under my breath, closing my eyes. I slowly fell asleep.
