Hero and I, tied with a wrist strap, enter my room, side by side, a little embarrassed.

"I release you from your chains, come!" He whispers, smiling, trying to undo the lanyard and break our bond.

"Okay..." I sigh.
I'm not as happy as I should be right now since I'm mad at him!

"At least you can take a shower!" He looks at me trying to figure out if he's doing the right thing.
I nod while remaining silent.
I bite my lip and look at the floor, unable to say anything right now.

"Do you need a hand?" He smiles, licking his lips.
The pat on his arm I give him immediately after, he deserved it!

"Ouch!" He bursts out laughing "Just kidding!"

"Although I'd like to..." He says with a sigh.

I pretend I didn't hear him and retreat to the bathroom as fast as I can.
There is no oxygen left in this room.
I close the door behind me, trying to figure out what the hell I've gotten myself into now!

"Can I take a shower too?" He shouts from the other side of the door.

"Alright!when I'm done!" I yell back to him as I undress.

"Jo!" He says after a few seconds "You're already naked?"

"Hero!!!"

Yes, I am!
I run the water until it gets warm.

"It was just a question!" He giggles.
He enjoys annoying me, I know!
As much as I want to be tremendously angry with him right now, I can't do it!
He explained to me what happened and I understand why he did it, even though I don't agree!

I calmly shower, dry my hair and return to my room in my bathrobe.
I find Hero lying on my bed as he is absent-mindedly looking at his phone.
He seems focused, with a doubtful expression painted on his face.

"Hey..." He looks up at me, squaring me slowly.
A smirk paints itself on his face as he looks at me.
He clears his throat and goes back to looking at his phone.

"You finally did it! It took you forever!" He jokes.

"Ohh nice one! You can go now, shower's free!" I look for my underwear in the underwear drawer.
I forgot about them earlier, otherwise I would have dressed in the bathroom!
Maybe. I mean I don't know. I probably went out in my bathrobe just to annoy him.
That's a very likely option!

"Maybe in a bit..." He smiles without looking at me.
I turn my back to him and quickly put on my panties.

"I saw a piece of skin!!!" He exclaims waking me up from my thoughts.

I immediately turn to him "What?"

He's giggling. He has put his phone away and is looking at me amused with his hands behind his head and his legs crossed, his torso leaning against the back of the bed.
He's enjoying himself, it's clear!

"I saw you a piece of skin under that huge dressing gown! Unbelievable!"

I shake my head dejectedly but I can't hide the smile that arises.

"Are you coming to the bed?" He shifts slightly to make room for me.
I nod. After all, if I want to bother him, now is the right time, right?

He clears his throat as I lie down next to him, my back leaning against the back of the bed, copying his position exactly.
He clears his throat again and looks at me, running his tongue between his lips.
He suddenly looks nervous!
How come?
Is it the cleavage caused by the bathrobe being too big and coming down a bit on my shoulders?
Who knows?
I smile and pick up my phone, pretending not to.
I see him smile as he sighs, remaining silent.
