A/N: I AM SO DONE WTF. so, i started writing this at 6pm yesterday and it is now 2 pm. I have been in school. I have realized that this is likely an unhealthy kind of obsession. this is fine :)
"Couldn't sleep?"
"Mhm." Miki replies with a tired smile. "I lost my medication too, no rest for me, I guess." It had been a long day, and Miki's graveyard shift didn't help much either. The clock a-top the hearth ticked softly, the only other sounds being the occasional pop of the fire and Miki's calm breaths.
"And you're still working, that's tough." Ryan looks down at the floor, thinking, and takes another look up at Miki who is looking at the fire. "..You know how to help you relax?" Ryan asks with a subtle smirk, rising from the couch.
"How?" Miki asks, smirking slightly as well. In a flash, Ryan appears behind Miki and picks him up like a princess. Of course, being taller than Miki, it wasn't much of a hassle. Ryan was a well-built man, which helped his cause.
"Care for a bath?" Ryan holds him up so his feet are off the ground. He is looking right into Miki's eyes with a cheeky grin, he is holding him with both arms as if Miki is not heavy at all despite his large stature. Miki blushes slightly, groaning in playful annoyance.
"Really?"
Ryan smiles as Miki continues to look annoyed. He brings Miki to the bathroom and sets him down next to the bathtub as if he was putting a child down in a bed.
"Get comfortable, I'll get everything set up." Ryan walks back out the bathroom, but not before he starts the bath at a pleasant temperature, then he leaves, grabbing two towels. He comes back hanging them behind the door when the bath is ready. Finally Ryan walks back to the bathtub with Miki and places two cups of hot tea on the counter for whenever Miki and him may be thirsty. "You ready?"
"...Ready for what exactly?" Miki asks, raising an eyebrow in suspicion. His shirt is already off though, folded neatly in the corner.
"The bath, you dolt." Ryan chuckles to himself and starts taking off his shirt as well to be on the same page. He sits down on the edge of the tub and undoes his blue button down, then takes off his denims as well. "Just get in, the water is warm." Ryan smiles as Miki walks forward and dips his feet over the side of the tub, his bare ankles touching the warm water.
"Well- ugh jeez- look away at least until I get in. ..You know I get self-conscious." Miki grumbles as he steps back out to undo the rest of his clothes, waiting for Ryan to turn around before stripping the rest of the way and getting in the now-full bath, submerging his muscular body.
"You know I love your muscles, no reason to hide them." Ryan chuckles lightly as Miki slips into the heat of the tub. He stands up and steps into the bath as well, and sits next to the other man. He reaches behind him for his own tea cup and takes a sip before setting it back down on the counter. Ryan then puts his arms around Miki to pull him into an embrace. "You'll get used to it." Ryan smiles as he hugs from behind, one arm around Miki's shoulder to pull him in, the other arm around his chest to hold him. Miki's blush is almost audible, his face pensive in protest but Miki doesn't really mind it. He just leans back, letting out a relaxed sigh. Ryan smiles as Miki leans back. He was a beautiful sight, easing into Ryan's arms like this. His long and soft black hair down his back, his well toned and slender body now submerged in the warm bath. He looked like a piece of art for Ryan to admire. Ryan smiles and grabs the bar of soap and begins washing Miki's back. "You look like a prince."
"...Quit flattering me, I know you're just teasing so you'll get your way later." Miki sighs as Ryan washes his back. He likes the compliments actually, but he's just too embarrassed to admit it to Ryan's face.
