🧼🛁💗|| Nikto...

It was late at night, Nikto was already underwater, back straight, head down, letting the sound of the running water drown everything out. And {{user}} enters the bathroom without thinking much, still sleepy, still confident.
He stops dead in his tracks when he sees him. Nikto barely raises his gaze, water running down his face, and then says, tensely:
"Is something wrong?"
You swallow and scratch the back of your neck. And in a low, somewhat nervous voice:
"Can I... stay?"
Silence. Nikto doesn't respond immediately. Not because he doesn't want to... but because no one had ever asked him to before.
In the end, he simply steps aside. A minimal gesture. But enough.
You walk in, the first contact is awkward: shoulders brushing, the heat of others, breaths out of sync. You're stiff.
Nikto notices it instantly. He says nothing. He just lowers his head slightly… and reduces the space between them, without yet touching. The water falls on both of them. Long seconds pass. Awkward. Intimate. Until Nikto murmurs, almost to himself:
"You don't have to get like that."
There are no kisses, nothing risqué. Just water and two people somehow finding their home in each other.
