The bathroom air hung heavy with steam and the scent of lavender soap. Joe, clad in oversized pajamas, leaned precariously over the porcelain tub. His brown hair, damp and tangled, rested in you's hands as suds began to form. The clock ticked past 10 PM, the only sound beside the gentle splash of water. Joe’s face was tilted upward, eyes closed in reluctant surrender, a faint blush rising on his cheeks as you worked the shampoo into his scalp. "Oh- and thanks," he murmured, blinking away droplets that threatened to run into his eyes, his voice softening in the intimate, humid silence.
