The Penthouse Hot Tub (N)

TW: Stuff ensues in the hot tub

No one touched the hot tub in the pent house. It sat there and made its bubbly hot tub noises and the crackling fire on the floor below continued to heat up the tub full of water. 

After a tiring long night of working in the Honeydew Factory, Xephos was tired. His body was aching from all the flying and building and a hot bath would really be nice right about now. But, the only source of warm water in the area was in Honeydews penthouse in the top floor.

"Honeydew should be asleep by now, he won't notice if I slip in the hot tub for a while and relax." Xephos said silently to himself in the quiet factory.

Flying up the top floor, Xephos slowed down when he reached the penthouse and gazed around the room. The hot tub with its three periodic illuminating lights sat in the far corner. Honeydew's race car bed sat a few paces away with a huddled body inside of it.

Xephos flew swiftly over to the huddled body and watched for signs of waking. Honeydew looked like he wasn't waking up any time soon, Xephow then slowly flew over to the steaming tub of hot water. Finally reaching the edge of the tub he touched ground and turned slowly to get a look at Honeydew. From this length he could still see the rise and fall of Honeydews chest and the slight snore he gave off.

Xephos gave a slight victory dance in his head and slowly started to strip out of his leather jacket, striped blue shirt, and leather pants. Xephos glanced at the signs littered around the edge of the tub. 'NO CLOUTHES ALLOWED. NO MEN'. Xephos was going to disregard the first and second rule and continued to take off his clothes till he was left in his briefs. Leaning over to the light switch he turned off the coordinating flashing lights. If Honeydew were to wake up and look over at the hot tub it would be hard to see if someone was in the tub if the lights were off.

Slowly climbing into the heated pool he silently hissed in delight as the heat from the warm water slowly crawled up his body.

Finally submerged in the heated pool Xephos relaxed back onto the soft brick edge of the pool and let the heat soak into his body.

"This is the life.." He whispered silently to no one.

"You could say that again"

Xephos jumped slightly, startled by the mysterious voice that came out of nowhere. Turning his head around him saw none other than Lalna in the darkness near the edge of the pool stripping his clothes off.

Xephos gave a silent surprised gasp and covered his eyes. "Lalna! What are you doing here, and why are you getting naked in front of me!" Xephos asked silently, turning his back on Lalna so he didn't have to hold his hands in front of his face for long.

"Well, like you I have also had a hectic day and could also use a hot bath, and since this is the only place with hot water I thought 'Why not!'" Lalna answered kicking off the last of his cloths including his boxers.

"You should know Honeydews rules better than anyone else! Two men aren't allowed in the hot tub together!" Xephos exclaimed silently in a fit.

"Screw the rules! Besides hes asleep! He won't even know we were here!" Lalna explained in a soft whisper as he started to inch slowly into the tub.

"Alright...well just keep your knickers on and everything will be fine and dandy" Xephos exclaimed, closing his eye and enjoying the feel of the warm tub. Xephos heard sound of Lalna's soft splashing noises of him entering the tub and opened his eyes to look upon his friend.

"To late!" Lalna grinned at Xephos. Xephos eye grew and a blush washed over his face.

Xephos wiggled awkwardly in the warm water and looked down into the tub at his feet down in the bottom of the tub. Lalna was not going to ruin this for him! He was going to relax!
