Raven's Eyes (A Zodiac Story)

Confusion

Gemini held the bottle of soap in his hands, not knowing what to do with it.

"Ouch! Hot!" Aquarius whined.

Gemini has zoned out and kept the water on the same spot.

"Oh! Sorry!"

"Well are you gonna use the soap or not?" Aquarius looked back at him.

"I guess I will." Gemini shrugged and tried not to make a big deal out of it.

He rubbed some soap in between his hands and hovered over Aquarius' skin for a moment, hesitating. Aquarius was paying no attention and looked like he was about to fall asleep any minute. Just to get it over with Gemini slapped his hands on his back and rubbed as fast as possible.

"Whoa! What the hell?" Aquarius was being pushed back and forth by Gemini's violent scrubs.

"Just be quiet."

"But it hurts...."

Gemini's hand slowed, remembering the other bruises on his body. He let out a heavy sigh and took a more gentle approach, this time scrubbing him in a massaging manner.

"That's better."

Without speaking Aquarius turned his body so that he was facing Gemini, still looking up at him through his wet hair.

"What are you doing?" Gemini cleared his throat, obviously flustered.

"You gotta scrub the front too and my hair."

Gemini sighed and placed his hands on Aquarius' firm chest. Though he was not as muscular as Gemini preferred with his men there was something attractive about his pale skin and lean body. Gemini realized he was thinking about Aquarius' body for too long and mentally snapped himself back to reality. He then moved onto his hair, pouring some shampoo in his hands and thoroughly scrubbing his scalp.

"Mmm feels good." Aquarius sighed and smiled happily. He was like a puppy getting head scratches you could practically see his wagging tail and fluffy ears

"Don't say it like that." Gemini felt like he was the only one thinking inappropriately.

"Like what?"

"Never mind."

Gemini finished rinsing off his hair and body, tossing a towel at him before getting up and drying his own feet and hands.

"Can you walk?" Gemini asked.

Aquarius nodded and got out of the tub, wrapping the towel around himself like a blanket.

"Was it really necessary to bathe me with my boxers on? Now they're wet." He frowned.

"Of course it was necessary!" Gemini turned away and busied himself with taking the medical stuff out so Aquarius couldn't see him blushing.

"Why? We're both men."

"That doesn't mean we shouldn't value our privacy, my privacy."

"But I'm the one getting naked, it should be my privacy we're talking about." Aquarius tilted his head.

Curse this argumentative boy, why does he always have to be stubborn about everything.

"Whatever, it's already done anyway."

"You won't fit in my boxers so I got my older brother's." Gemini tossed the clothing at him.

"You have a brother?"

"He's abroad right now for work. He doesn't come back often."

While Gemini's back was turned Aquarius quickly changed his boxers and then took a seat on the bed. Gemini pulled up a rolling chair and professionally snapped some gloves on.
