[ Oria blinks as he's pulled up some more. While it's true and the shower stall can probably fit four people if it really wanted to, he's a bit surprised that Sinclair is asking that they shower together. ]
Oh... alright then.
[ He's feeling a little confused by this, but it's fine. Lead the wa6ly, Sinclair. Oria will grab clothes from the closet along the way that they can wear after. ]
[ This is probably a good time to mention it, so— ]
Oh, the earrings are specifically coated and plated for endurance. They won't rust or break easily despite their base material. So you can wear it anywhere, even to a pool or the ocean.
[ Yeah, the bathroom sure is big. There's a tub to the left, a toilet with a door to the northwest, a single sink in the north, a shower stall in northwest, a vanity with another sink to the right, and a walk-in closet for southeast and southwest. They just walked in from the south.
Oria puts the clothes on the vanity, since it's close to the shower stall and hangs two towels over the shower stall door. Time to take a shower... Oria is feeling significantly less nervous, but he still feels weird being without clothes in front of someone when they're not having sex. ]
Ah. [Sinclair looks at the earring in surprise. Honestly, aside from one set he bought for endurance, all his others are just for fun-earrings. Not expensive at all. So he's used to taking extra care with them not to tarnish them. He'll keep the earring in then] I didn't realise they could be reinforced like that...
[Honestly, Sinclair is a little nervous about being naked in front of Oria too when they're not in the moment...but it's...important too. When they're both in the shower, and it's on, Sinclair will just hug Oria. Mmph]
[ Oria was about to lead into a story that he'd tell Sinclair, but he's suddenly being hugged? Also since they're in the shower stall now, Oria doesn't have his glasses on, so he's surprised since he didn't see it coming. ]
[ He's not really aware of the marks on his hips, because that entire area is starting to feel sore that whatever feeling from the marks can't stand out from all that. ]
Jeez, you made me think something was wrong for a second.
[ But he's relieved. Sinclair can start getting Oria's hair after Oria sits down on a shower stool. There's another if Sinclair wants to bring it over. ]
But the resilience of the earring... it made me think of my first one. I was like, eight back then. I wanted to get my ears pierced, so my dad got me a stud earring. It was reinforced like the way I mentioned. But it was also when we found out that I couldn't handle piercings at the time.
[Sinclair takes the other stool, and takes the shampoo bottle. He squeezes some into his palms and begins to lather it into Oria's hair, gently rubbing and massaging it in. A story with Oria's dad...]
[ Sinclair continues to climb the ladder of hair touching tolerance. Oria seems to be soothed a little when Sinclair massages the shampoo onto his hair and scalp. ]
I dunno, actually. I wish I kept it, but now I don't know where it went. It was a silver-platinum-like color too, so I really liked it back then. It's a shame I couldn't use it.
[ Yup, Sinclair sure messed with them a lot! Oria laughs a little. ]
They didn't. In fact, they felt nice like normal ears.
[ He tilts his head back so that Sinclair can rinse the shampoo off.
Then Oria tells Sinclair of how to use the conditioner. It's an expensive one apparently. Maybe it's what contibutes to his hair being the way that it is. ]
[He does wonder why Oria's ears hurt so much but, now that he knows, he'll avoid them. Sinclair will follow Oria's instruction, his each touch careful and gentle]
[He's safe from further teasing...thank. He blinks and tilts his head. He hadn't been doing this with expectations Oria would want to do the same in turn...but he likes how relaxed Oria feels right now]
Mmm...just gently? I don't think I have any specific way in the shower. [No more hair pulling Oria]
Yet your hair is so fluffy... I'm almost jealous of how you keep it that way despite how there's nothing that sets it apart from a regular shower routine.
[ Oria laughs and reaches for the silicone body scrubber and puts some body wash on it, making it lather. He knows where everything is, so he can reach for them easily even with his eyes closed, but Sinclair is a new factor here. ]
It's probably because it's so easy to maintain I don't need anything special...
[Just shampoo and conditioner. Sinclair always puts everything exactly where he finds it and reaches for the body wash and a small hand towel himself. Time to scrub it down. Oh, now that he thinks about it--]
[It's time to rinse out Oria's hair, isn't it? Time to do that!!! Gently coaxing Oria's head back again]
Um. Ah...I'm not sure myself...? [He's trying to untangle his own repressed desires, sometimes. It takes him by surprise too, what he finds out he doesn't mind in the heat of the moment] It's not like I want to get hurt or anything like it...

I'll get your hair.
[It's fine, they had sex multiple times now this isn't nerve wracking at all
why is Oria's bathroom so big...]

Emil? What's wrong?
no subject
[He's just suddenly reminded of something... Ah. He sure left some marks on Oria's hips. He lets go to grin at Oria sheepishly.]
I'll get your hair?
[Also ow the water sure stings the scratches Oria left on his back]

Mm. It could match the one we have if you could find it again. [But now that he thinks about it...]
Is the piercing going to be okay for you?
no subject
[ He can't quite ask his dad for it either, since, well, he's dead. ]
And I'll be fine. I'm aware of the situation regarding that, and I made the decision while fully aware.
no subject
[Gently urging Oria to tip his head back so he can help rinse off his hair]
...by the way, your ears didn't hurt in Fragment did they...?
[Mentally screaming. He sure did mess with them a lot then]
no subject
They didn't. In fact, they felt nice like normal ears.

Good thing Oria can't see well, or else he would have teased Sinclair about it. ]
Is there any specific way you do your hair? I'd want to do yours in return, but I can't see well.
no subject
Mmm...just gently? I don't think I have any specific way in the shower. [No more hair pulling Oria]

...is that why you were pulling it earlier?

[ Oria's voice trails off. Awkward. ]
But it felt good that I did it anyway.
no subject
...Mm. Well. I didn't mind...
[It felt kind of good? Should he admit that? Help]
no subject
[ "Will try anything once"..... ]
no subject
[He does have a threshold!! ]
no subject
[ He wouldn't want that to happen to him, so he definitely wouldn't do it to Sinclair. ]
But still, you didn't really answer my question.
no subject
Um. Ah...I'm not sure myself...? [He's trying to untangle his own repressed desires, sometimes. It takes him by surprise too, what he finds out he doesn't mind in the heat of the moment] It's not like I want to get hurt or anything like it...
no subject
I wouldn't want to hurt you like that in bed.
[ Look... pvp in Fragment was fine. Actual PvP though? Maybe not to the death. ]
That's not my thing.
