I step in the shower and grab the bottle of honey lavender shampoo. My breath hitches at the cold water. Or what felt cold.
"S-sorry..." I say
"What?"
"The water's a bit cold for my liking."
"Oh. You can make it warmer..."
"T-thanks, Tobio."
I turn the faucet and it starts warming up. I let out a breath of relief. I wet my hair and close my eyes. I could feel him staring. I hurry up and turn to face him. His eyes were glued on my figure.
"W-what?"
"N-nothing..." he looks away blushing
I put a puddle of shampoo in my palm and start washing his hair. His eyes close. He's sitting down so I can wash his hair properly.

↑Bathroom
After I wash his hair I step out and start running the bath. I didn't want it to be awkward so after the tub was filled I climbed and submerged myself in the warm water.
"Why's you leave?"
"I-...I got awkward..."
"It wasn't awkward. It was warm..."
My face started to heat up.
"W-where older now... don't you think it's wrong to shower together?"
I hear the shower turn off and he steppe out. He walked over to were I was chin deep in the water and knelt by the tub. His big hand met the top of my head.
"No... I don't..." he said softly
Then he got up and slid into the tub opposite of me.
"W-what are you d-doing?!" I say sitting up
"Chill out." he said calmly
My face reddened at the sight of him. I knew I was already a shade of pink but he just made me a shade of red. His eyes glistened in the dim light of the bathroom.
"I needed you back then..."
"W-what?"
"My team... they abandoned me... and I felt alone. Like no one could pick me up and bring me to the light."
"But...?"
"Then... when I came to Kurasuno... I met the team. I feel alive again.." his voice started to break and big tears rolled down his cheeks
My body reacts swiftly and I move closer to him. I wipe away his tears, though they kept rolling.
