Requested by Jcicid on Archive: I WOULD request Toby/Nico nsfw but I rather see it in the sequel.

NSFW things will never appear in my main fic because I want to to be safe for all audiences. So here's some not quite SFW stuff, I have an actual sex one shot in the works but it's my first time writing smut so it's taking me longer then expected. hopefully you'll like this and the sex shot will come later. also just a warning my editor dosn't do NSFW things so there will probably be more grammar and spelling mistakes in this then normal.

Takes place about a year after NatC


Nico slid under the hot water of the shower relaxing as it flowed over his skin soothing his old scars. Sighing deeply he put his head under the stream of steamy water keeping it in there for as long as he could hold his breath. He didn't feel the need to open his eyes afterwards, he had long since felt secure in his place at the creepypasta mansion and no one bothered him anymore. He didn't even open them when there was a nock at the door.

"Yep?" Nico called.

"Can I come in?" It was Toby's voice, Nico smiled.

"Sure." Nico called back, it wouldn't be the first time Toby had seen Nico naked. Not that they had had sex yet. No they were both far to body conscious for that as of yet, especially Nico, but they were in the process of trying to get comfortable with being naked around each other. Nico heard the door open and then shut again. "Just into the bathroom or into the shower with me?" Nico asked.

"Into the shower with you, if you don't mind." Toby answered hesitantly. Nico had thought as much, Toby had just come back from a job he probably really needed to wash. And with the sort of job it was Nico wanted to check him for injuries anyway.

"Of course I don't mind." Nico said smiling as he heard the rustling of cloth and the muted thud of it hitting the ground. After a minute the shower curtain was pulled back slightly and Toby stepped in behind Nico. Nico shuffled forward slightly and Toby moved so he was under the stream of water as well reaching around Nico for the shampoo. Nico leaned back against Toby sighing as Toby began to work the shampoo through Nico's hair making Nico hum happily.

"How did your job go?" Nico asked.

"It went well." Toby replied, he knew better then to give Nico details. Nico opened his eyes and quickly noticed that some of the water rushing down the drain was a sort of pink that only came about one way.

"That had better not be your blood." Nico demanded sharply.

"Huh? Oh. Don't worry it isn't." Toby answered quickly.

"You'll still let me check won't you?"

"Sure once I'm done washing your hair." Toby said massaging Nico's scalp to make him relax again.

"I think you could be done now." Nico laughed. "Now you're just pampering me."

"And what's wrong with that?" Toby asked jokingly, "I'd say you deserve some pampering." Nico hummed noncommittally and leaned back against Toby sighing, Toby was always calmer when he got back from jobs, he even twitched a bit less. Nico didn't know why that was and he didn't think about it much. He and toby had a fairly functional 'don't ask don't tell' policy surrounding any of Toby's jobs that resulted in blood and Nico liked to keep it that way. He loved Toby, but that didn't mean he loved everything Toby did.

"Okay I think you're good." Toby said after a moment and Nico turned leaning back into the main stream of water to let it wash out the soapsuds. He looked up at Toby who was smiling down at him, Nico smiled back. He was still a bit self conscious about his height, even though the waters of Pyriphlegethon had kept him from actually dyeing of starvation in Tartarus they hadn't kept him from being malnourished and he was fairly sure it had stunted his growth. At first he had hated it but when he had found out that Toby liked being taller then Nico it had started growing on him.

"You're turn." Nico commented picking up the shampoo bottle from where Toby had put it down. "Don't forget to close your eyes." Sometimes Toby did forget and the soap got in his eyes, since Toby's body couldn't respond correctly the soap would have to be washed out and was generally a nuisance. Nico made sure toby's eyes were closed before he reached up to work the shampoo though Toby's hair. The bubbles turned a little bit pink from blood but Nico didn't feel any cuts on Toby's scalp when he ran his hands over it.

Nico's eyes roamed over the rest of Toby checking for cuts or any bruises that might be beginning to hint at damaged bones. Everything seemed to be fine.

"We might need to wash your hair twice, you got blood in it, the shampoo bubbles are pink. Don't you dare open your eyes to see." Nico warned and Toby made a whiny noise, Nico chuckled hoarsely. "I think you can wash the first batch out now anyway." Nico helped Toby switch places with him so he could lean back into the water, after another wash the bubbles stopped coming up pink and Nico only found a few bruises on Toby's arms and they weren't bad.

When they were clean they didn't get out right away, Nico was enjoying the warmth of both the water and Toby who had his arms wrapped around Nico from behind. He was leaning down kissing Nico's neck, Nico tilted his head to the side and back a bit resting it against Toby's shoulder giving him easier access. He had gotten the impression from other people that this was supposed to be arousing but he had always just found it relaxing and Toby knew that.

"You better stop soon or I might fall asleep standing." Nico mumbled his eyes sliding shut as he felt Toby's laugh against his neck and back.

"Then we'd better just go to bed huh?"

"Are you tired?"

"Not really but then I almost never am without your help."

"True." Nico purred softly, "Alright lets go. Even if you don't feel tired you've had a long day, I can tell by how tense your arms are that you've strained yourself."

"Oops." Toby chuckled as Nico turned off the shower, they stepped out of the shower and Nico ignored the obvious blood on Toby's clothes in favor of tossing Toby a towel and grabbing one to dry himself off with. They had both brought their pj's to the washroom and put them on. There was no one in the hall as they slipped out and up the hall to their bedroom.

It was officially theirs now, for a while they had had separate ones though they had never used both of them at once. After a while Slenderman had declared it ridiculous that there was always one room not being slept in and that they should just pick one and stick with it! So they had, they had picked Toby's original room since he had been staying in it for much longer and he had more things and it became their room. Their room, their bed, their dresser but still only Toby's comic books.

"What?" toby asked curiously when Nico laughed softly at the thought.

"Oh nothing." Nico replied as they slid under the warm blankets together. "Just thinking about something." Toby shrugged and pulled Nico tighter against him.

"Okay, whatever you say."
