so you want to play with magic

Was it wrong to feel like bacteria growth was a reasonable threat to our safety? Maybe Kat found the idea mildly hilarious but I was mostly sure it was a real and present threat. I could practically see it. This shower had to have mould. I was certain of it. Maybe i'd been willing to ignore it during sex but I was entirely prone to ignoring a lot of things during sex. In the very least that shower presented hot water and I was mostly sure the heat of it would kill at least half of...god knows what else this shower could contain. Still, I suppose, I could hardly prevent that scowl that found my features as the blue gold of my gaze eyed the shower floor with some trepidation. Still, if Kat was willing to face it- I suppose I was too. In the very least she seemed willing to provide a distraction as she reached around me for that shampoo. Motel Shampoo. Maybe it was better. I didn't think too hard about that either. Christ, what I wouldn't have given for our own shower back at our own place. I'd hardly missed the way Kat hadn't exactly returned that 'I love you' and yet for now, at least, I was willing to let it go. Given the day we'd had we could both use the break. Those words weren't exactly...easy to say. Hell, I'd struggled with them at first and yet eventually she'd say them, right? She'd gone through a hell of a lot to save me today if she didn't care about me.

"Hmm? Oh, sure. Im going to pretend its organic"

That simper tugged at my lips, that amusement clear as I shifted to turn my back to her only for Kat to apply that shampoo to her hands before beginning to massage it into my hair and scalp. That actually felt...pretty damn nice. Maybe it was only for a few minutes and yet....for those few minutes, nothing else mattered. Not that hotel room or the bacteria or Viktor or even that utter lack of organics in the shampoo. A soft sound of satisfaction rose within the back of my throat as I lent back into her hands.

"You really are good at that you know."

I suspected she did know. I liked that closeness. I liked being near her. It had been far too long and the thought of being...away from her again made my chest ache. Maybe for just a moment longer I could enjoy that shower without thinking about how we were going to live for the next few weeks. I lent slightly forward to let that water run over my hair, washing the shampoo that Kat had applied from it before reaching up to push the water from my eyes. My free hand reached for that tiny shampoo bottle in turn before gesturing for Kat to turn herself around.

"This tiny bottle is only going to do like half your hair but since we are imagining tonight let's just pretend it's going to magically cover it all."

I applied what was left of the shampoo to my hands only to reach up and offer Kat that same head massage. God she had nice hair, then again, she always had. Using this sort of shampoo within it was almost criminal. One day....we'd have real shampoo again. God this must be how poor people lived. I easily ran my fingers through her hair, working that shampoo in before stepping back to allow her to wash it out in turn. I was reluctant to step from that hot water and back into the real world and yet who knew how much hot water this place even had. I moved to reach for the nearest towel then before passing on the Kat in turn, the both of us stepping out and into that bathroom as I worked to dry myself off. My gaze shifted as I bent to dry my leg, the blue gold of my eyes roving lightly over her figure. I would never get tired of that. Never.

"There isn't any chance Viktor might just....forget us is there?"
