Takao loved these times when they relaxed in the tub after a long day of work. He knew Midorima loved this habit of theirs which they executed two days a week, thanks to Midorima's precision about everything. Takao would sit in front of the bigger man, loving the feel of those long and muscled arms around him, and in some cases, something hard pressing against his ass if Takao felt playful and moved his body more than he should have.
"Your shifts became even longer". Takao spoke as he extended the shampoo bottle to Midorima's waiting hand.
"Yeah. The hospital is rather busy these days". He opened the cap and poured some of the mint scented liquid into his hands and started rubbing it all over the smaller man's hair.
"I hate when that happens. But I'm proud of you as well, of course".
Midorima started to massage the raven locks gently with the tip of his fingers. "I don't like it much either. Shower head" He added; and Takao leaned forward to retrieve it and turned the tap, causing hot water to pour out. They usually used this more modern type of tub when taking baths together, as Takao loved to use the 'massage' function of it, especially when their desire took the best of them and their moans would mix with the sound of bubbling water.
"Here. Oh! How about doing something tomorrow, since it's your day off?"
Midorima lifted the shower head over the shorter man's head before replying. "Hmm, maybe". He leaned forward to kiss the skin on Takao's shoulder as to appreciate what he had said before, about being proud of him. After all, he had always been a man of gestures, rather than words.
Takao smiled at the gentle action as his hair was being washed by his boyfriend. The man was indeed good with his hands; his delicate fingers caressing his skull in soft movements, putting pressure on the right places.
"I get to wash your hair too, right?" Takao asked with his eyes closed as he pushed himself back to the talented fingers.
"No, I took a shower this morning".
"What?! When?" Takao's eyes widened with disappointment and he slightly turned his head to give Midorima a sour look.
"It was very early. I didn't want to wake you up, so I took a quick shower and left not so long after". He started washing the raven locks after thinking they were shampooed enough.
"Aww aren't you sweet and all?" The smaller man splashed water around playfully, which caused Midorima to frown his brows in annoyance.
"Your shoulders are tense". It was a statement filled with concern; and Midorima started caressing them without waiting for a reply from Takao.
"Yeah. Tough week at the studio. You know we have an important shoot coming up, and we've been rehearsing with different lenses and concepts". Takao finished with a groan as Midorima rubbed a particularly stiff spot.
"Just..take care of yourself more". Midorima hoped he managed to cover the concern in his voice, yet Takao's chuckle made it obvious that he clearly didn't.
"Ah but you do that for me! Well, I think you should also-ah yeah..right there. Your fingers are absolute bliss, Shin-chan". Takao panted as Midorima continued with his massage.
"I was thinking..Maybe we could stay at home tomorrow". Midorima pressed another soft kiss on the glistening shoulder.
"Yeah..I was thinking that too". Takao closed his eyes once again; thinking that there was no other place more restful than this, with arms that supported him and hands that represented safety.
