What is a Toaster? | Sabriel

Awwwwwwww....

Sam stepped onto the cold tile floor as he waited for Gabriel to get to the bathroom, his arms crossed over his chest as goosebumps traveled along his skin. It only took a moment before the nurse popped his head into the bathroom, a small smirk playing on his face.

"Yes, my dear Sammy?" Gabriel asked cheekily, and Sam rose an eyebrow.

"Why is my hair pink?"

"Well, funny story. I couldn't remember which shampoo was yours, so I decided to booby trap both of them, just in case." Gabriel replied, waving his hand casually. He laughed when Sam pouted, the ridiculous hair color making it even more funny.

"How do I get it out of my hair?"

"Why Sam, it's so simple. You just have to wash it." Sam narrowed his eyes at the trickster nurse, who looked back at him innocently.

"Yeah, I tried that. Remember?" Sam growled, though a hint of amusement twinkled in his eyes, not like he was going to admit that to Gabriel.

"Okay, okay, I'll wash it out for you. Sit down in the bath." Gabriel said, grinning as he motioned to the bathtub. Sam looked towards it, then flushed when he realized that he was standing naked in front of Gabriel.

"W-wash it out for me?" Sam echoed, his voice catching just a bit. He shook his head, turning away from the nurse as thoughts began racing in his head. Things that he didn't want Gabriel to ever find out. Sure, he had a girlfriend before, but he found the nurse incredibly attractive, and he wasn't ready for any kind of rejection.

"Yes, Sam. I'm a nurse. I give it to patients almost everyday. I'm sure I can wash your hair without their being a problem." Gabriel said sarcastically. Sam had to agree with his logic and shyly nodded, taking a seat on the cool white surface of the bath. He heard Gabriel walk up behind him, taking the shower head and wetting down Sam's hair again.

Sam closed his eyes as he felt the cool of gel of soap in his hair, soon being scrubbed in by Gabriel's fingers. He felt the spray of the water a minue later, the suds running down his neck and back, sliding over his chest. He shivered involuntarily at the feeling and heard Gabriel softly chuckle behind him.

Another layer of soap was added, but this time, Gabriel took his time, working his fingers in a massaging motion across his scalp. Sam let out a soft sigh, his body relaxing at the motions. The nurse sure was talented.

"Enjoying yourself?" Gabriel asked with a slight hint of amusement. Sam only let out a 'hm' in response, smiling softly as his eyes fluttered open. He glanced back, seeing Gabriel on his knees so he could reach Sam better.

"I should let you give me showers more often." Sam said, a slight hint of teasing in his voice. Gabriel laughed softly, his soapy fingers sliding out of Sam's hair before they were replaced with water. Sam leaned his head back, letting all the shampoo was out.

As the water was removed from his hair, he leaned his head farther back, so he could look at him upside down. The nurse was reaching over, turning off the water before he dried his hands. He then took the cloth and rubbed it through Sam's hair, drying it.
