<em>The bath is heaven.</em>To soak in warm water was ecstasy, feeling it swirl slowly over every inch of my naked skin. It tickled, it soothed, it aroused, it calmed... dozens of pleasant sensations, all from laying down in a tub of water. Glorious.<br/><br/>Shinji's announcement came muffled through the wall.<em>I guess I'll tell him now. No sense beating around the bush.</em>I rose from my bath, enjoying the sound of the water running off and dripping from my body. After drying off and wrapping my hair in a towel, I wrapped my torso in one as well and went to Shinji's room, where he was sure to be.<br/><br/><strong>"I'm coming in,"</strong>I announced as usual.<strong>"I need to tell you something, Shinji."</strong>
