The water was soothing against Blue's tired body, easing his muscles into a relaxed state though Blue's mind was still wholly preoccupied with tending to his wolf. He held Eivind carefully against him, and despite his exhaustion Eivind took to it well, holding onto Blue's naked body, running his hands along Blue's soft skin. "Feels nice, doesn't it?" he asked, moving Eivind beneath the shower head so the water could begin the arduous task of cleaning the older male's dirt encrusted form.<br/><br/>Instead of fetching a stool for Eivind, Sig slipped into the shower behind him, causing Blue to look to him in mild confusion while Eivind growled a low, rumbly warning. Sig seemed fed up with Eivind's grumpiness and lacked any fear at retaliation from the larger wolf. Eivind was hardly able to stand on his own, so Blue didn't think Sig really had a reason to be frightened, anyway. Sig told Eivind off and Blue allowed it, knowing it was for the best. The little wolf was right; four hands were better than two, and they'd be able to crawl into bed much sooner with Sig's assistance.<br/><br/>A scene plucked from Blue's fantasies, himself in a shower with two incredibly attractive men, but there was little eroticism in the wet and steamy environment. Eivind had given up arguing with Sig, resting his damp head against Blue's shoulder. Blue pressed a kiss to his hair, helping to hold him up with one arm while the other scrubbed the wolf's hard body, dark brown water dripping from him and momentarily staining the shower floor. Even as Blue approached Eivind's genitals, an area he normally liked to linger in for the pleasant reaction it coaxed from his lover, he didn't play or tease. Much. His soapy hand grazed Eivind's balls and flaccid cock, but he pet gently before running his fingers through Eivind's pubic hair. "We can play again once you've gotten some rest and you're feeling better," he purred, not minding that Sig could hear him just fine as he worked at Eivind's back and legs. Sig was already more involved in their sex life than a normal friend should have been, and wolves seemed to mind blatant sexual displays much less than humans. Blue was only flirting with his mate, soothing him in a way he knew Eivind would like. He didn't intend it to go any further than that, and he doubted Eivind would be able to perform in his weakened state.<br/><br/>When they finished, Sig exited the shower first, grabbing towels for all of them and handing one off to Blue so he could dry Eivind off. It took careful maneuvering to get Eivind back out of the tub and into bed, but they managed well enough, finally letting the wolf recline, his body free of dirt and filth. Blue returned to the shower momentarily to quickly scrub himself down (he'd been unable to do so while holding Eivind up), though his sleepiness was catching up to him and his mind was blank as he cleansed himself, unable to think any thought other than the vague shadow of relief that his mate was back with him, safe.<br/><br/>When finished, he returned to his mate as Sig was finishing getting Eivind comfortable. Blue pulled Sig to him in a tight, encompassing hug, taking a moment to press his lips to Sig's cheek. "Thank you," he whispered. "You didn't have to help me. Or even believe me. And you did. I never would have found him if it weren't for you. You've done so much for us and I'm not sure why, but know that I will figure out a way to make it up to you. Eivind appreciates you too, even if he isn't great at showing it." Another quick squeeze before releasing the small male and nodding, figuring Sig would understand it was time to leave the couple alone.<br/><br/>Blue moved to the bed, sliding in beside Eivind on his uninjured side, though there were numerous cuts, scrapes, and bruises peppered along Eivind's body. "Hey, Vin," Blue whispered, pressing his cool, naked torso against his mate. "I missed you. Sleeping without you next to me was practically impossible." He chuckled, nuzzling against Eivind's facial scruff. "Let's sleep now."
