Rainy Season


It had been raining off and on the past week, typical of the rainy season. Today the downpour had been particularly strong; the moment Hiroki kicked off his shoes he beelined to the bath, to wash away the day's grime. Afterwards, he lay on the couch, too lazy to move.

When Nowaki came home mostly soaked and looking half-asleep on his feet, Hiroki directed him to the still warm furo. A minute later Hiroki followed him, leaving his slippers outside the door and rolling up his pant-legs. Nowaki smiled slightly, whispering "thank you," as Hiroki began scrubbing Nowaki's back.
