To say that training today kicked your ass was a gross understatement. In a world where time virtually didn't exist, hours felt like days when it came to your Keyblade training, and for all you knew that could have been true. Ever since you, Kairi and Lea arrived to study under Merlin and prepare for the upcoming Keyblade War, the three of you have been nonstop expanding on your skills in strength, defense, and magic. And as if that weren't enough, you had just started one-on-one combat battles. Today your match was against Kairi, and throughout the entire match the two of you were pretty evenly matched. It showed how much significant progress you were both making, but there was still work to do.
After Merlin called it a day, you found yourself wobbling up the stairs to the second floor of the sleeping quarters to your room. You barely had the strength to kick off your sneakers that were still damp from wearing them all day. Every muscle in your body was sore, even in areas where you didn't even think you had muscles. You needed a hardcore relaxing session, and you knew just the perfect way: a nice warm bath and a good book.
Opening the bathroom closet, you pulled out the essentials: one of your favorite bath bombs, soap to add bubbles, and a large fluffy towel. You started to draw your bath and took off your sweaty clothes and threw them into your laundry bin before slipping into your black silk robe. As you grabbed your book and phone to select your favorite playlist to listen to, a soft knock came at your door.
"Just a second!" You quickly ran back to the bathroom to turn the faucet off, then opened the door halfway. Lea stood in the doorway with his hands behind his back, smirking.
"Ta-da!" He stuck out both his hands and held two sea-salt ice creams. "Thought we could enjoy these to—gether..." His face turned bright red as he noticed you wearing your silk robe. "Whatcha up to...?"
"I was about to take a bath," you giggled. "Since when do you get shy around me?" Opening the door fully, you gestured Lea to come in to your room. He hesitated at first, his eyes wandering from your slightly exposed collar bones down your silk draped breasts. You had to grab his wrist and drag him through the doorway to get him to snap out of his trance.
"Since I've never seen you so...dressed-down," Lea stuttered and scratched the back of his head. You noticed when he raised his arm above his head he slightly winced.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah, fine. Just a bit sore from all this training," he placed a hand on his right shoulder and rolled his arm in a full circle. "I never would have pinned Merlin as a tough coach."
"Well, that's the exact reason why I'm taking a bath. Hoping it'll release the tension in my muscles for another round of combat training tomorrow." Your eyes glanced over Lea as he continued stretching out his muscles, ice cream sticking out from his mouth. "You wanna give it a try?"
"Huh? Give what a try?"
"The bath. It'll help you. C'mon, looks like you really need a good relaxing session." You stood out and extended a hand towards him.
"What about you?"
"We could... relax together?"
Midway through another stretch, Lea froze in place. The two of you have been dating for a while now, but this was kinda a big thing you were proposing. You'd see each other for the first time completely ... well, exposed! "Really? Are you sure?"
You nodded your head and smiled. Truth be told, you were just as nervous as he was on the inside: your heart pounded loudly in your ears and you had to remind yourself to let go of the breath you were holding in. But in this moment, this felt right. "Unless you don't want to...?"
"No, no! That sounds perfect, actually," he said sheepishly.
Taking his hand once again, you led him to your small bathroom to the claw-foot tub that you had started preparing. Lea faced you and started stripping his clothes off piece by piece, never breaking eye contact as he started unzipping his leather jacket all the way down to his boxers. He removed the last article of clothing and stood still as you drank him in lustfully before getting into the tub.
"I-I just realized the water might be cold by now," you stammered.
"Not a problem," he smirked. "I can take care of that."
Now it was your turn. Ignoring your increased heart beat, you slowly untied the sash of your robe, letting the thin layer of clothing slip down your body to the ground. Stepping into the tub, you sat down and adjusted yourself so your back was up against Lea's torso, his legs on either side of yours. At first, you weren't sure if the tub would be big enough to accommodate you both, but it actually worked out for the most part (if Lea extended his legs out all the way, his feet would dangle over the edge). The water was already starting to warm back up again thanks to Lea's body temperature, and soon enough the two of you were relaxing, despite the fact that both your faces were dusted red. The bath bomb you chose fizzed through the water, occasionally bumping between both your legs. It was a dark blue one that smelled of lavender and roses that emitted tiny silver sparkles into the water; it was as if you were bathing amongst the stars.
Lea had grabbed a bottle of shampoo that was next to him and poured a generous amount in his hand before slipping his fingers in your hair. The motions of his hands massaging your head lifted the weight of training off your shoulders. If it weren't for your nerves, you probably could have fallen asleep under the touch of his slightly calloused hands; strong but gentle and oh did they feel amazing.
The two of you sat in the tub for over an hour, having small conversations and giving each other massages (which eventually turned into a few heated make-out sessions). When you couldn't stand the sensation of the skin on your fingers pruning anymore, you decided it was time to end your tub session and move on to the bedroom. It was close to midnight; the moon above was full and bright, shining blue rays through your window. Now changed into your pajamas, you cuddled up next to a still nearly naked Lea, who preferred sleeping in his boxers, and started to feel yourself drift off. Before slumber completely took you over, Lea spooned you closely against him and kissed your temple.
"I don't think I've ever felt this relaxed before in my life," he whispered.
"Neither have I."
