Marius lets out another sigh, sliding further down in the tub and simply savoring the luxury surrounding him; his lover and the fragrant warmth of the bath are all he really needs in this moment. Not that he hasn't enjoyed their many romps this morning, but he also really enjoys quiet, content moments such as these: holding his lover without either of them having any place to be. Simply being together with the one he loves.

"Here," he says, reaching for the shampoo and beginning to rub it into Rat's short hair. "Let me."

He massages the liquid into Rat's dark locks, letting warm water seep between the strands as he does so. This is such a perfect closeness; Marius knows he will never tire of it.

"That sounds lovely," Marius contemplates.
