Eiji POV

I was just coming down from my orgasm high when I decided I should clean myself up before Ash gets back. As I walked closer to the bathroom I heard muffled crying behind the door.

I immediately panicked because

1. Ash was crying and,

2. He might've heard me. I thought he was in the kitchen.

I knocked on the door lightly. In that moment the bathroom went silent. I waited for a while before knocking again.

"Ash...Are you in there?"

I opened the door to see Ash sitting in our bathtub. His shirt was damp and he was in his boxers curled up hugging his knees to his chest. He was staring off into space. Probably not even noticing I came in.

My cheeks reddened out of embarrassment as I stepped towards him.

His eyes finally started to follow me as I came closer. When I was about to touch his shoulder he flinched. I pulled away fast.

He must be having an episode, I thought.

I waited awhile before climbing into the tub sitting behind him so I could rap my arms around his stomach, lacing my fingers together to get a better hold. His whole body was wet including his hair. It was draped over his eyes in a messy but cute way.

I tucked my head into the crook of his neck while I started to play with his fingers.

Poking them. Stretching them. Bending them. I then put his hands in mine, squeezing lightly not too tight.

We sat like that for awhile. Not speaking or moving. I was half asleep when Ash spoke. But his voice came out in a croak.

"I-I-I...I f-feel d-dirty."

"Why baby?" I asked as I lifted my head from his shoulder.

"I-I-I-..."

He was panicking and I could tell.

"Listen Ashie. Breathe. Remember what I told you."

"I f-feel l-like you w-won't like what I-I might say."

"Why?" I said with a worried tone.

I felt Ash's breathing even out and he was more calm now.

"I might've h-heard you touching yourself."

I cringe. God damnit Eiji you probably made him super uncomfortable!

"Shit... Ash I'm so sorry you must've hated that. I can't believe I did that. Oh my god." I'm mentally face palming right now.

"That's not the problem."

I stop rambling. "Then what is?"

"I-I enjoyed it." Ash mumbled.

"You what?!"

"I enjoyed it alright!...So much so that I kinda-umm."

I look around the bathroom and see his gray sweatpants chucked into a corner on the floor.

"D-Did you jack off to me jacking off?!"
