[From here]

There rooms are a bit of a mess. Bodhi spend all night cooking and as much as he cleans as he goes, there's still a lot left to do. But it can wait. He puts the last ingredients away to be made into something else tomorrow.

He turns to Galen, shedding his jacket. "That was enjoyable. I missed markets like that."

Comments

[imthepilot]

"I'd like that." He takes a hand from under the water to reach back, pulling Galen closer. "Should we fill it up before we get in or get in and then fill it the rest of the way?" He isn't sure of the protocol with baths.

[galen_erso]

"I think," Galen says, "we can do either, but it's probably nicer with the bath already filled."

It's not as if baths were part of his routine most of his life, either. On Coruscant or other core worlds, but he never lived there for long. And when he did, there were more important things than spending time in the bath very often.

[imthepilot]

Bodhi nods and swirls the water around with his fingertips. There would easily be room enough for them both, especially if Galen got in first and Bodhi rested between his legs. That would be nice. comfortable.

He breathes a sigh and leans back against Galen again. reaching up damp fingers to rub his arm.

[galen_erso]

"This is heaven," Galen says, softly. "Living like this. Openly together. Taking back what we had to give up in life."

[imthepilot]

"It's heaven because you're here." Bodhi looks up at him, eyes warm.

He leans in to turn off the taps. "I think that's enough. I hope it's not too hot." Galen knows how Bodhi hates to be cold. "Do you want to get in first? That way I can lean on you."

[galen_erso]

Galen holds on to the rim of the tub, steps in with a surprisingly elegant motion of his long legs, and then smoothly sits, declaring the water very nice indeed.

He holds out his arm to Bodhi.

[imthepilot]

Bodhi is far less graceful. It takes him a couple of false starts to get himself into the right spot to shift his weight into the bath. The feeling of being immersed is so strange. Not at all like the float tank they used to heal his back.

After a moment he works it out and settles slowly into Galen's lap, resting his head back against Galen's shoulder. "Is this okay?"

[galen_erso]

Galen had reached for him to help him down gently, and now folds strong arms around d Bodhi. "Just so," he says. "I'm honoured to witness your first, in this."

[imthepilot]

Bodhi cuddles close, just feeling the weird sensation of the water swirling around them. "I don't know it I could do this by myself. It would just be too... strange."

He turns his head to press a small kiss to Galen's chest, letting the movement bring little ripples over his skin.

[galen_erso]

Galen runs a wet hand over Bodhi's shoulder. "How does this feel?"

[imthepilot]

"Warm, strange. Wasteful mostly but that's the Jedhean in me. Mostly it feels restful. Teja say it would but I didn't expect it would be this much." He could fall asleep here easily.

[galen_erso]

Galen runs his hands down Bodhi's chest in a gesture that is anything but soporific.

[imthepilot]

Bodhi closes his eyes, his breathing quickening. He reaches down to stroke Galen's knee, humming warmly.

[galen_erso]

Galen's fingertips dwell on Bodhi's nipples; then, they slowly make their way down on the warm water towards Bodhi's navel.

[imthepilot]

Bodhi quickened breathing turns to soft moans as Galen's touch stirs heat in his loins. "Galen-" It comes out as a slightly frantic gasp. Beneath the water, he starts to harden. "I haven't- there's been no-one. Not without you."

[galen_erso]

"Not even by yourself, all these months?"

Galen's finger is slowly gliding down the softly furred middle line of Bodhi's lower belly.

[imthepilot]

"Nothing. Not without you." He arches into the touch, whining softly.

[galen_erso]

Galen's fingers slide lower to rake through Bodhi's dark little pelt down there.

[imthepilot]

"I'd forgotten how to want this." He turns his face to whimper into Galen's chest. "Without you." His hands tighten on Galen's knee, aware he should be doing something. Something more than just laying there.

[galen_erso]

Galen kisses the side of Bodhi's neck, and now runs his hands up on the inside of his thighs.

[imthepilot]

Bodhi keens softly, the muscles jumping under Galen's touch. "Galen- please? I- I want-"

[galen_erso]

Galen runs his hands all the way up, sliding them over Bodhi's prick and between his legs.

[imthepilot]

Bodhi opens his legs wider, gasping with the flood of sensation.

It's like the colour rushing back. Like the roar of an engine.

Like the clarity he found when he cut himself. Only better, stronger. Warmer and more real.

Tears prick his eyes as Galen touches him, feeling connected again. It might not last, this feeling, but he wants more.

[galen_erso]

"Bodhi."

Galen strokes him with flat hands, the tip of a middle finger teasing at Bodhi's entrance as he whispers the name.

[imthepilot]

Bodhi wasn't quite hard when Galen started touching him but it doesn't take long before he's straining into Galen's hand. He spreads himself as wide as the bath will allow, opening under Galen's teasing touch. "Please? Galen, I'm yours. I'm yours."
