A low-impact shower spray is running. Cronus enters the expansive cubicle first. He smiles as the warm water alerts his nerves to cozy pleasure.
Cronus: Hey, Kankri. Hurry up and get in here, come on!
Kankri: I don’t know about this. Shouldn’t we be taking separate showers? This isn’t our hive, after all.
Cronus: Yeah, but it’s a hotel, Vantas! We paid them. They can deal with it.
Kankri: (Takes a deep breath) Fine. Hold on. Don’t peek.
Cronus: I’m gonna see you naked in like, two seconds, what’s the issue?
Kankri: It feels strange, being watched while I disrobe. It feels…ugh, how can I describe this? Like a performance? I don’t like feeling that way, Cronus, so please. Avert your eyes.
Cronus: You are so weird, but fine. Whatever. Just hurry up. This water’s doin’ things to me, you know?
Kankri: (Chuckles quietly) And you think I’m weird.
He strips
Kankri: Alright! Done. I’m coming in, so move over, I don’t want to slip.
Cronus: There’s tons of room in here, trust me. You ain’t gonna slip.
Kankri slides the glass doors apart and enters — obviously self-conscious. Cronus slides his arms around Kankri.
Cronus: See? Feels nice, huh?
Kankri: Mm. (He sighs contentedly) Yes, it feels fine.
Cronus: You know you don’t have to feel anxious about your body, right?
Kankri: (Pauses, then rolls his eyes) Yes. I know I don’t have to feel anxious. That doesn’t change how I actually do feel, though. You know that’s not always how it works.
Cronus: Yeah, but I like every part of you. I guess I just wanted you to know that.
Kankri freezes. He places his hands on Cronus,’ which are around his waist.
Kankri: Show me.
Cronus: I love your fluffy hair, that you try to tame (his hands explore Kankri’s hair) I love your gentle arms (he brings his hands back down) I love your soft belly (he rubs Kankri’s stomach, which is round, and plush), I love your thick thighs, your cute feet…
Kankri embraces each form of contact.
Kankri: What else do you love? Do you love this part of me?
He draws Cronus’ hand to his nook, which is just starting to become wet with pink.
Cronus: Oh…do I ever love that part of you. But hey, do you love every part of me too?
Kankri: I could do without how loud you tend to snore, but yes. Besides that… I love absolutely every part of you.
Cronus: You’re wet.
Kankri: So are you. We’re in an ablution trap.
Cronus: (Laughs) Don’t pretend you don’t know what I mean… can I? You know?
He rubs Kankri’s nook, increasing the lubrication immediately. Kankri groans, and pushes himself into Cronus’ hand.
Kankri: Yes. You always have my permission.
Cronus: Good. Just relax and pay attention to the warm water.
Cronus enters Kankri in one swift move. Kankri gasps and reaches for the handle plastered to the wall.
Kankri: Oh! Oh, my…ugh, Cronus!!! Just let me adjust.
Cronus: (Panting) Got it.
Kankri: (After a moment) Okay…alright, I’m fine…go…just…alright, start moving, please!
Cronus: You got it!
Cronus starts thrusting into Kankri. His movements aren’t exactly aggressive – but are definitely driven. He grasps Kankri’s hips for balance.
Cronus: I’m not going to last too long here, Kankri.
Kankri: I’m close too, just, angle yourself a little to the – yes! That’s exactly it, oh, Cronus.
Cronus orgasms intensely, tightening his grip on Kankri firmly enough to bruise. Kankri glances at Cronus’ hands on him, and comes strongly, a moment later.
Kankri: Oh! Wow…
Cronus: (Slowly settling down)… That…was… something else. We should try it in a basin-styled ablution trap next time!
