[ aguero on the other hand faded off into sleep quickly, the cheater that he is. it's a deep sleep, one that he only begins to wake from when tatara presses his face into his chest and murmurs.
instinctively he pulls his boyfriend closer, wanting to feel all of him like he was in his dreams. ]
...comfy? [ along with his height, his chest has filled out with his now healthier diet, so it's a valid question. ]
[ Aguero was right—he really has grown since the first time they napped together, and it's only after the fact that Tatara notices. ]
Mmhmm. [ He nods into his chest, but doesn't really make any move besides. It's nice being held like this. He's warm from the nap, and he's not in a huge rush.
We have to, huh? [ that demand does plenty to wake him up, along with the amused chuckle he can't suppress. he stretches as much as he can manage, trying not to jostle his boyfriend too much. ]
Yeah, we do. Food first or after? [ he's hungry, but this is simply a question of which hunger of his he's going to feed first. ]
[ The more he thinks about the bath, the more he wants it.
He stretches himself out, quickly tilts his head to give Aguero a kiss before rolling out of the bed. He'll start towards the door, running his hand through his hair to rearrange it, and glance back. Coming? ]
[ aguero smiles at the kiss, still drowsy enough that he doesn't return it before tatara rolls off him. he does at least get up in relatively short order even though he pauses to stretch more.
usually he'd stop to do his hair even for something like this, but he's blinked and tatara is already moving towards the door. pulling it back will do then, though he does pause to grab a change of clothes for them both for after, tucking them in his lighthouse. ]
You're eager. [ he'll let him lead then with a content smile. ]
[ Once Aguero's close enough, Tatara grabs his hand with a little grin and starts to tug him along, pulling him in step beside him. Good thinking on the clothes. Because all his mind can think about is their laughter filling the bath and bubble crocodiles and going back to the place they found each other. ]
Why wouldn't I be? [ He flashes a smile up at him as they make their way down the stairs. Except the answer that comes isn't exactly the one running through his mind. ] I said I'd give you a bath, so I'm gonna!
[ his boyfriend really does like doing things for him...it tickles him in a particular way because aguero's so independent in everything, but he's quickly finding that this is an indulgence he quite likes the taste of. ]
Right, of course. [ the smile on his lips might be teasing. ] And I'll do your hair after too.
[ because he did that the very first day as a consolation prize. even though today he'll obviously do more, but it's fun to play along for now. ]
[ The echoes are soft and comfortable, and Tatara's eager to see how Aguero is going to do his hair this time. And the next, and the next...
He pushes open the door to the bath and doesn't hesitate to get to business. Well, "business." He throws off his clothes without shame, and after stuffing them away he marches straight into the bathing area. He doesn't even look back at Aguero this time, but he'll be waiting at the edge of the bath right where they first met. ]
[ pfft, there's a smile at the way tatara goes about things but he doesn't comment. aguero of course, takes longer, folding his clothes with care and securing his hair in a higher pony tail like he does for occasions like this, and like he did that day.
he looks in the mirror when he's done and realizes he should probably cut his hair soon, but he'll do that before they go back. though maybe he'll keep it a bit longer than his usual trim since he knows tatara likes to run his fingers through it. thoughts for later, for sure.
when aguero joins him by the bath he hums, realizing something. ]
I'll need to make more bubbles this time. [ because he's several inches taller now... standby for crocodile bubbles in 3, 2, 1!
his magics improved a lot since then then, the reptiles now with the added detail of half-plate and a little cape because tower of god is like this. ]
[ His feet are already in the water, and he's about to sit down when all the bubbles spring to life! Tatara's face brightens when he sees the bigger, more detailed crocodiles appear before him. For a second, his gaze snaps to look at Aguero, an excited little grin on his face.
He'll gaze at them in wonder as he settles into the water. He hasn't grown at all, in contrast, so he feels much smaller. ]
Hey. [ He peers at one that wanders close to him. ] What about the life size one for the door?
[ he laughs, bright, and steps into the water himself. his only answer to that is to hold out his hand.
while he definitely could attempt this on his own now, holding tatara's hand is an important part of this memory. assuming they do hold hands, the raak bubble that springs to life is three meters tall with a giant spear to match. ]
I don't take any responsibility for whatever this one gets up to.
[ Of course he gets Tatara's hand. What would this callback be without it?
As Aguero casts his spell, Tatara will place a light kiss to his knuckles. It probably doesn't have any extra effect, but Tatara thinks it's deserved anyway.
—But his romantics quickly melt when he sees the result, and he exclaims in awe. ]
Woah! It's huge!
[ He almost gets out of the bath to get a better look, but Aguero's hand more or less keeps him in place. Not that his excited, childlike expression changes any. What the hey, his boyfriend is so talented... ]
I'm tempted to forgive whatever it does because you made it!
[ oh, the light tinge of pink he has is definitely from his body adjusting to the steam. ]
We made it. [ he squeezes their joined hands, letting the warmth in his heart settle throughout the rest of him.
the newly created raak (now life sized!) brandishes his spear and then stomps off towards the entrance of the bath, cape flowing dramatically behind him. ]
Don't tell Raak that when you meet him or his head will get even bigger than this.
Tell him about this one. [ another raak bubble pops into existence except this one is chibi sized. it runs off after the other one as fast as it can manage on it's stubby little legs. ]
That's probably what he'll look like when you see him, so it's true to form all the same.
[ with all the bubbles created, he slides into the water with a pleased sigh. ]
[ He laughs out loud, bright voice echoing through the otherwise empty bath. He snuggles up beside Aguero as he gets into the water, but he's still looking at the bubble Raak. ]
He's so cute!
[ Said in like, a small and cute way. Will Raak hate that? Probably, but he's going to say it anyway.
As he watches the bubbles walk around, a hand idly begins to gently splash water over Aguero's wounds. Has he already cleaned them? Probably, but he said he'd do it, so he's going to! ]
[ aguero approves, it's always a good time to poke at raak, heheh.
he lets himself get comfortable in the bath, soaking in the closeness that exists between them naturally now. at the gentle splash of water he tips his head, lips curled upward. ]
Are you splashing me or taking care of me?
[ is this an echo or something brand new? both are good, of course. he did take care of his wounds, but he'll probably never say no at this point to tatara doting on him. ]
[ Tatara scoops some water into his hand and lets it wash over Aguero's arms, his eyes wide and innocent (though Aguero would know by now that is anything but an innocent look). ]
Why would I do anything but take care of you?
[ He gently runs a hand over his arm along with the water that washed it. But once his hand settles in the bath water again, he flicks a little at him, aiming for his face.
See the innocent look? Totally not playing or anything... ]
Because you like— [ goading me on, but he doesn't get to finish because he's been attacked!
he was expecting that, but it's no fun to dodge in a situation like this. instead, khun whispers his magic words to create an orb of water above tatara, that explodes like a firework entirely over him. ]
[ Tatara notices his magic words (how could he not, when he's stared at his lips so much), but isn't exactly expecting what comes next. The water explodes over him, and after a brief look of surprise, he bursts out laughing. ]
That's not faaair! [ He leans into him again and sends a bigger splash at his chest, messy, not really bothering to aim for his face. Just to splash back. ] Now you have to get your hair wet, too!
[ aguero takes his weight, dipping back into the water ever so slightly. he could support tatara completely without getting wet at all, but as always he'll reward him for his efforts as he deems appropriate. ]
[ Tatara giggles mischievously, and he cups two handfuls under the water and quickly splashes it all over Aguero's head. It isn't a lot, and some of it spills in transit, so it's pretty inelegant. But what can he do? He's not a wizard! ]
You have to stay still! [ He rests a knee on Aguero's lap and presses his chest to his arm, trying to pin him in place while his hands are busy scooping water. ] It's not fair if you're not as soaked as I am!
Make me. [ his hair does get somewhat wet from the maneuver, but in return khun just shakes his head like a dog to get some of the water from the strands. the look he gives says he knows that tatara can hold him down better than this. ]
But I should probably cut my hair a little. [ his bangs are tidy as always, but now that he's thinking of the future properly he should stop by a salon before they head back to get a fresh cut before returning. ]
[ Make him?! Tatara swats at the stray droplets of water that come flying at him then promptly does exactly what Aguero wants, which is hoist a leg over his lap and straddle him. There's a silly smile on his face as he takes another handful of water and unleashes it over Aguero's head—and again, and again, and again, ]
How short? [ He pauses in his mischief, only to toy with the ends of Aguero's hair. ] I like your hair.
[ the content smile on his lips when he's straddled is as warm as the bath, but like a bubble, it pops when he's doused with water. it's replaced with a pout that eventually gives way to light laughter, because aguero can't help but to find it extremely cute that tatara is so determined to match his magic.
he eases into an amused look when the waterworks are paused, watching closely as tatara starts to play with his hair. ]
About here is where I usually keep it. [ he lifts an arm out of the water to indicate a bit below his chin. its a couple of inches shorter than his hair is now, which is brushing past his shoulder. ]
