Chapter Two: Steamy

Every now and then, Mina and Izuku took a weekend off for themselves.

It was a chance to rest their bodies and minds, to mentally log out of their busy day-to-day schedule and just be together. They liked to switch things up a bit too. Oftentimes, they'd take their weekends off to leave town for a bit and visit someplace a bit quieter than the busy city.

This time, they'd gone to a small spa out in the country. It was a comfortable place, not overly lavish or expensive, but with great service and plenty of peace and quiet.

It also had a hot tub set up next to the indoor pool, which they'd been very keen on checking out.

Clad in their swimwear, the married couple lowered themselves steadily into the hot water. It was later in the evening and they had the place completely to themselves.

Mina let out a soft sigh. "I could die happy now."

"Ditto," Izuku groaned as the water passed his shoulders. He leaned his head back on the tile around the tub and closed his eyes, dozing in the warmth and massaging sensation of the jets on his legs.

Mina shifted to sit by her husband and clasped his hand as she lay her head on his shoulder. She squeezed lightly and he returned the gesture, twisting slightly to kiss her forehead.

"Sleep after this?" Izuku queried. "We had a pretty big lunch."

"Mm," she hummed. "Probably. Kind of wanted to cuddle a bit, but I might not be awake enough for it after this."

He pondered for a moment, then shifted his arms. Mina blinked as she was picked up and then deposited in his lap. Izuku nuzzled her cheek with his nose. "There."

"Good call," Mina giggled. She lifted her hands to carve her fingers through his hair, lazily scratching his scalp. Izuku made a little noise in response to her ministrations.

"...How's your arm?" Izuku asked after a minute.

Mina glanced at the healing bruise on her left arm and carefully rolled the limb a little. "Not bad. Bit sore, but it's gotten a lot better."

"Good."

Her lips twitched up into a tired smile. She planted a kiss on his forehead, murmured against his skin. "It looked worse than it was. You heard the doc, I didn't break anything."

"Yeah. I'm just too used to fights ending with broken bones, I guess."

"And while yes, you are correct, you've gotten a lot better about that over the years."

He smiled and kissed her shoulder. "Happy about that?"

"I am pretty relieved to not see you wrapped up in casts all the time, yes."

"Me too."

They fell into a comfortable silence, leaning tiredly against each other. Mina had her cheek smooshed against the top of her husband's head and eventually, she felt his breathing start to even out beneath her.

"Babe, don't fall asleep," she murmured, tapping his nose gently. Izuku blearily looked up at her. "C'mon, we've been here long enough. Let's go back to our room."

He nodded and with a slow breath, managed to stand up. Mina was deposited back on her feet and led him out of the water. Holding onto her hand, Izuku trailed behind her as he was guided blindly to the room they'd booked for the weekend.

They were sleepy and quiet as they got changed into their nightwear, plenty comfortable with each other and not embarrassed by the short displays of skin they'd both seen before. Donning a tank top and shorts, Mina dragged Izuku to bed in a pair of ridiculously comfy pants and made him get comfortable. Once he was settled, she switched the lights off and climbed into bed after him.

Izuku turned in her direction and gathered Mina into his arms, pulling her flush against his body. He nuzzled into her throat as she planted sleepy kisses on his head. "Night."

"Night, baby," Mina sighed, breathing deep as they drifted off to the comforting warmth of each other.

A/N: Yay, day two! The prompt for this was bath time. It was initially something totally different, but I re-wrote it. The result is this small, fluffy chapter. But lots more to come! Other chapters will be a lot longer, I think.

Look forward to tomorrow's prompt: Zoo!
