Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

[He works his way all the way down to her ankles, kneading out the tight spots as he goes]

[When he reaches her feet, they get the same treatment, thumbs digging into the balls and arches of her feet]

[unbr8kable]

[Her feet flex at the pressure, and she twitches at the pressure--just firm enough not to tickle]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

[He keeps it up a while here, too, seeking out the parts that feel tight and working on them until they stop causing her feet to flex when he presses into the muscle with the ball of his thumb]

[By the time he is done, she is sunk low in the water, eyes shut and breathing slow and even]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

[He keeps it up a while longer, just because he can, and because he likes seeing her like this, relaxed and comfortable like she deserves. But, finally:]

You ready for me to do your hair?

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

[She is slow to rouse, but gives a faint affirmative hum]

...Sounds nice.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

Kay... just stay put, I got you.

You got shampoo or whatever?

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

'S in the dorm bathroom...by the shower. Gimme...gimme a sec...

[She shifts as if to get up]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

Naw... s'cool.

Pick a flavor, I got it.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

Whatever you like. 'S fine.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

[There's a beat while he puts the order into his phone - another, while it gets delivered]

[Then the sound of a cap popping open, and he holds it toward her - it's rich and herbal, rosemary and jasmine and a few brighter hints]

This okay?

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

Smells fancy.

...You like those kinda scents?

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

What, for me? I usually just get whatever.

[He sets the bottle down and turns to look for a shower head, to get her hair wet]

Figured you deserved something nice tonight, though. Don't they say stuff that smells good helps you relax or something?

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

[There's a bowl and pitcher? It is fairly low-tech.

She hums, non-committal]

Don't gotta go through too much trouble...

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

Who says it's trouble? We got delivery now.

[Helping himself to the pitcher, and filling it with very warm water]

Gonna start now, okay?

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

Gotta play hairdresser... Something you obviously don't do much to yourself, with all that shag.

[She does not stick out her tongue but considers it...instead just leans forward so he can work]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

Lucky you we ain't doing hair cuts. Then you'd really be in trouble.

[Pouring the warm water over her head, gentle; he angles his free hand against her forehead, to keep it from getting into her eyes]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

Mmm...

[Shivers at the feel of the water over her shoulders, but leans into his touch nevertheless]

I finally end up with a mohawk?

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

Not yet... but you could.

...lean back? Get comfy.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

I didn't already seem comfy?

[She leans back nevertheless, careful not to let the water slosh too roughly]

...Think I got the head for it?

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

You could pull it off, I bet. You'd look badass.

[He squirts some shampoo into his hand and starts to work it in, very gently]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

Mmm... Maybe.

[Contemplates this as he scrubs, sinking more into the feel of his hands for a long moment]

...You could get a punch perm. Blond pompadour'd be pretty wicked.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

Dude, you seen me lately? I don't got enough hair for a pompadour.

[He doesn't seem in any hurry, sudsing her hair up thoroughly, fingers scratching at her scalp]

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[unbr8kable]

[Somewhat distant, eyes still shut]

...You could do it. Can just weave in some extra. No one'll know the difference.

Re: Day 365 - post murder mysterium

[crossmyheartandhope]

Hey, I'd know the difference, wouldn't I?

[Keeping it up longer than he really needs to, honestly]
