Max knew from stories he had heard that bathtubs could be so romantic and sweet when you take them with the person you cared about, but all that Max could think about was pain and almost death.  It wasn't that Max would stop him from taking a bath, he just wasn't going to join him.  After 10 years one would think the fear was gone, but not in Max's mind.  Max stood in the shower letting the water run down his back and over his head.    He had his hands on the wall in front and his head tipped down looking at the floor letting the water fall around his face.<br/><br/>Max felt when Rimi climbed into the shower with him and sighed when he heard him ask whats wrong.  Really as long as he wasn't in the tub he was fine.  "There is nothing wrong Rimion."  Max said then grabbed the wash cloth pouring some soap onto it.<br/><br/>Max.turned around and began to wash Rimi trying to avoid the subject of the tub, "I believe I have told you enough of my secrets"  Max said blatantly without emotion even though his shaking hands would give away his nervousness.  Rimi seemed to be the one who could always pull information out of him.  Max trusted Rimi with his life and could not explain why.<br/><br/>Reni's World on the Go..
