<span style="font-family: 'Georgia'"><span style="font-size: 15px">Sebastian closed his eyes, tilting his head back as he relished in the sensation of the warm cloth stroking across his skin. The bath felt amazing against his tired, aching muscles but Ayaan had been distracting him from truly enjoying it up until now. It had been quite awhile since Sebastian had felt comfortable and safe enough to relax, and there was something oddly soothing about Ayaan's presence that allowed him to do just that, if only for a moment. <br/>
<br/>
He sank further down into the tub as the tension in his muscles began to unwind, letting out a low rumble as Ayaan passed the cloth over his stomach. Some might refer to the sound he made as something akin to a purr, but Sebastian would deny it until his dying breath. He was almost about to nod off before Ayaan spoke up. The sound of his name on the boy's lips sent a shiver tumbling down his spine, rising goosebumps in its wake. He hadn't known that it was the sound he'd been waiting for since they stepped into the bathroom until it had finally graced his ears. There was something so sweet, so pure, about the way Ayaan breathed Sebastian's name into existence. He wanted to hear it again and again and again, in every tone Ayaan had to offer. <br/>
<br/>
Sebastian cleared his throat and opened his eyes, pushing himself upward again. <br/>
<br/>
"Thank you," he murmured as he pulled his knees up and wrapped his arms around them. He bent over his legs and laid his head on his arms, watching Ayaan from the corner of his eye. </span></span>
