Lucio smiled warmly as Ansel admitted he was feeling better and he nodded. The guilt was still there, of course, but the anxiety about having seriously damaged his love faded away. He gladly retreated into Ansel's arms, tucking himself against the man's muscular torso happily and gazing up into his eyes fondly. He chuckled lowly and shook his head at Ansel suggestion, but he honestly couldn't help but be intrigued. The mere thought of getting to slick up the professor's body with soap was an enticing one, but at the same time he found himself a bit nervous about the potential repercussions that sexual stimulation would have at that time. If Ansel was asking for it, though … How bad could it be? They could always stop, he reminded himself, before shaking his head slowly.<br/><br/>"I have plans for the morning, but we aren't in any rush . . . At some stage we have to get to town and pick up some provisions, but I'm sure a shower for you and a second soaking for me won't hurt anybody," he murmured with a warm smile, leaning up and pressing a brief kiss to the man's lips. He then slid from Ansel's lap and smiled a bit coyly as he took a hold of his hand, guiding him off the bed and watching closely for any signs of discomfort.<br/><br/>He moved with Ansel into the bathroom quietly, shutting the door behind them and turning on the heater before he began to strip off the clothes he'd just placed on his lean, battered body. He folded them neatly and placed them upon the countertop before throwing his hair up into a loose bun atop his head to keep it out of the way. Whilst he waited for Ansel to strip off his very limited layers of clothing Lucio moved over to the shower and pulled the curtain forwards to shield the tiles from the spray of water, then he went about getting the stream to the perfect temperature. Only once he was satisfied did he glance back at Ansel, taking a moment to admire his nude form before he lifted his gaze to his eyes.<br/><br/>"Ready, darling?" Without waiting for a response Lucio turned and stepped into the shower, pausing momentarily under the perfectly warm stream of water and releasing a heavy sigh before he stepped aside to allow Ansel in as well.
