♤: Taking a bath together

He wasn’t used to this. As many times as he’d been intimate with someone, the onsen presented a different sort of challenge. She didn’t seem worried. Blushing a little, yes, but she was that sort to begin with. He was the one that was nervous. A mixed bath in the mountains? Hot springs. Alone. There wasn’t even anything inherently scandalous about it all, just a case that took him North to a resort, and she’d been willing to come along to keep him company. 

But there, in the warm, steaming waters, he couldn’t help hoping that she wouldn’t comment on him. She seemed content to sit against the side, likewise covered. Perhaps they were both shy. 

Hakuba offered a little smile to Ran, sinking just a little lower in the bath. “So… Onsen… this is fun, isn’t it?”
