Eden unlocked the apartment door, and they stepped inside. Reiji walked in slowly, still a little dizzy, while Eden gently closed the door behind him.
Eden: "Come on, let's go to the room. The doctor said you need more rest."
Reiji let out a long sigh, clearly still annoyed.
Reiji: "I was seriously wondering if you brought me here just to have sex."
Eden chuckled and reached for his hand.
Eden: "It's not like that, Reiji. I really care about your health."
Without waiting for a response, he led Reiji to the bedroom.
Reiji: "First, I need a shower. I smell like whiskey."
Eden (slipping an arm around his waist): "Sure."

The warm water filled the bathtub as steam curled into the air. They ended up sitting together in the tub, surrounded by the calm splash of water and the soft scent of soap.
Eden held Reiji's back gently, his touch slow and intimate.
Reiji (sighing): "I said I wanted a shower. Alone. Not with you."
Eden: "Don't you think it feels better to bathe together?"
