I made my way upstairs to our room and listened for a few seconds. I heard the water running and figured that Ashley was in the shower in an attempt to calm his nerves. It had been two weeks since his friend had committed suicide, but he was still completely torn up about it. He still blamed himself, silently telling himself that it was his fault that he wasn't there for him. I felt something tug at my heart strings, making me enter the bathroom. I tried to listen past the sound of the shower, but could barely hear anything other than an indistinct noise that I couldn't really make out. I took a chance and pealed back the shower curtain and was greeted with a gut wrenching scene. Ash had his back to me, his knees to his chest and his head bent down under the water. I knew what that weird sound had been: crying.
I peeled off my clothes and stepped into the shower, kneeling down behind him and wrapping my arms around his shoulders and knees. I felt his head nudge my elbow before he turned most of his body to curl into me. I readjusted myself so he could sit in my lap and deftly cradled his head against my now wet chest. His raven hair stuck to me and the warm water engulfed both of us in its caress. I placed my one hand on the back of his head and stroked his hair to soothe his faint whimpering cries while my other hand gently rubbed circles into his wet, contoured back. I felt something inside of me wretch, seeing him like this: naked and vulnerable.
Something about the way he cried made me ache all over. That's the thing about hearing the cries of somebody you love so much: they're set at a frequency that breaks hearts. I felt the tears roll down my chest as I rocked back and forth for maybe fifteen minutes. Once Ash seemed to stop shaking, I nudged him. He looked up at me with his wide eyes, brown but now rimmed with red and bit my lip to keep from crying. Slowly, I helped him to his feet and held him in a tight embrace before finally releasing him, taking hold of the shampoo bottle sitting on the shelf. He looked from me to the bottle and back to me and seemed to question me. I squeezed some of the thick, clear gel into my hands before wicking it through his long hair. He closed his eyes and seemed to melt into the touch and purr like a cat as I brought my hands back up to his scalp and scratched with my short, stubby nails, like I had watched him do so many times.
I squeezed some more into my hands and gently rubbed it into the ends of his hair before tilting his head back under the soothing spray. I saw his face relax as I ran my thin fingers through his soft strands. He sighed in what seemed like content until I pulled him back to me and squeezed a dab of his face cleanser into my hand and applied it rhythmically over his beautiful face with my finger tips. Again, I lead him back under the water and watched as he lifted one hand to wipe the cleanser thoroughly. I felt his muscles relax again and pulled him to me for a quick kiss before I squeezed some dove soap onto a loufa. I slid it over his toned body, first over his tanned chest and arms that he moved without protest. I then pulled him into a hug so I could get at his back and his arms encircled my neck until I took to my knees and soaped him up. He looked down at me a little shocked at first until he saw what I was doing. In spite of myself, I smiled at his mildly shocked face and took joy when his face softened back into content. I stood and guided him back under the water for a third time, only now I went under with him because of the considerable mount of suds I was covered in.
I finally picked up his conditioner, remembering that he liked to do that last as I once again massaged the ends and gently combed them with my fingers. He purred again and shivered lightly against my body. I turned the water to cold before sliding us both under it and I saw his face pull into a slight smile as he clung to me before nestling his face into neck and planting feather soft kisses into my ivory skin. I let him for this for a second as I took joy in feeling his smiling lips kiss my neck and glad to have him doing something like normal for once before I pulled away slightly. He looked at me a little concerned before I placed my one hand under his chin and brought his lips to mine in a soft, passionate kiss. His lips moved in time with mine for  moment before I turned the water all the way off. I held him there for a minute, liking the way this felt and realizing how much I had missed his little furnace of a body curl so innocently into mine.
We stepped out of the shower, breaking apart in the process. I picked up one of the towels and hitching it around my waist before taking the other and tapping Ash on the shoulder. I slowly stroked his body with the plush, white towel and listened to him purr with his eyes closed until most of the visible water was gone from his skin. I hitched the towel around his waist and pressed my lips to his forehead before I intertwined his fingers with mine and lead him into our room. I let go of his hand reluctantly as he sat on the bed and I made my way over to the dresser and pulled two sets of sweat pants and oversized t-shirts. I handed him his set and a pair of boxers before turning away and slipping my clothes easily over my own skin. When I turned back around he was sitting on the bed, knees to his chest as his hair dripped onto our comforter. I smiled at him and picked up his wet towel, rubbing his head and wringing out the ends. He smiled at me and giggled at the tickle that it gave him. I pecked his lips gently before crawling up on the bed and pulling back the covers for us.
He got under them and pulled them back over both of us. I saw him shiver and I snuggled up to his side, kissing his cheek. He rolled over onto his left side and I took the hint to snuggle into him like I knew he loved. I kissed his neck and behind his ear, earning a shiver that went all the way down his spine that only made him snuggle closer into me. He giggled a little and relaxed in my arms. "Baby?" he said tentatively, breaking our longstanding silence.
"Yeah?"
"Thanks for that. I needed it. And I love you."
"I love you too baby." I breathed into his ear before planting a firm kiss on his neck and snuggling into the crook of his neck.
Ashley's upset and Andy does all he can. No sex, but there is a shower scene. This is my first fanfic. Tell me what you think!
