[stahn shudders a quiet breath not following the kiss, but when leon begins to lather the shampoo. it's... different. maybe it's not the first time that stahn has had someone else wash his hair, but...

it's leon.

leon is doing it, and that sends tingles through his whole body—in a good way, of course. he knows it means that now is not the time for what they almost started again, but all the same? it seems to settle his heart a bit. for a few moments, his eyes fall completely closed, and he's just soaking in everything about what he currently feels. leon's hands are buried in his hair as ever, but there is deliberate movement and purpose this time and it honestly feels both good and relaxing.

he wants to do the same for leon, but he knows he has to wait. in the meanwhie, he can at least respond to what leon is saying.]

I know. That's what you said before and... here we are now. [they've taken a pretty massive step, and it's probably just the first of many more, he knows. but he still feels sheepish in admitting all of this out loud.]

I think I have to hold back sometimes...

....Or you may not ever have time to get anything else done. [embarrassing? yes. mischievous? absolutely. honest? without a doubt.

there's very little denying just how much stahn wants every part of leon all the time.]
