John and Chas had walked back to his apartment in content silence, occassionally exchanging warm glances. Finally they had tumbled into the door, Chas shivering.
"Are you alright?" John asked, as Chas scurried over to the radiator, huddling there.
Chas merely chattered his teeth in surprise. John made up his mind in an instant. Striding over to the angel half-breed, he took off his own jacket and wrapped the boy in it, then tenderly steered him towards the bathroom.
"Where... are w-we going, John?" Chas asked, shaking.
"You need a hot bath," John said firmly, closing the bathroom door behind them. He ignored Chas' deep blush at these words, and turned the taps on the bath, allowing it to fill up.
As it filled, he held the shaking bundle that was Chas, resting his face in those soaking, soft curls of hair. He sighed in contentment. He loved Chas, and Chas loved him. Everything was going to be alright.
When he had turned the taps off, leaving the bath full of warm water, he turned to Chas. "Come on, kid, you need to get out of those clothes."
Chas might have been freezing cold, but his cheeks were crimson as he replied, "W-what?"
John rolled his eyes, but carefully, slowly so as not to scare Chas, pulled his jacket off the boy, then pulled his soaking t-shirt away from his body. John briefly admired the toned chest before him, before Chas kicked off his shoes and dropped his pants, standing before John in boxers and socks.
"I'll leave if you want," John said softly.
Chas shook his head. "No." He finished undressing and then climbed into the bath, sighing adorably.
"Feel a bit better?" John asked, smiling.
"I love you, John," Chas replied, reaching for the shampoo.
