Summary: It was like stripping himself of an old, unwanted skin.
Shower
x
Water pours over Syed's flesh, seeking out every crevice as though it is stripping him of an old, unwanted skin. He tips back his head, closing his eyes and letting that part of himself – the lies, the deception, the dishonesty – float away with the steam.
Arms encircle his waist, tugging him back against a pillar of heat. Droplets begin to gather in the rivulets were flesh meets flesh, a different kind of warmth to the incandescence of lips meeting nerve-endings.
Syed leans in; pressing hands, lips, flesh; until there is no end, no beginning.
Like putting on a new skin.
I like this one. I enjoyed writing it. I hope you enjoyed reading it. (I also deny that this was inspired by the scene of Christian in towel - y'know, the one where he's all wet and that, not that I paid any attention to the way the water droplets were glistening on his skin...)
