Keaton was in his usual spot—Randall’s bed.
Randall had the screen drawn for a bit of privacy, but he could feel Keaton watching him. He didn’t think much of it, even though it made him smile to imagine Keaton was admiring him…
Maybe even in the same way Randall admired him so.
“You’re very kind,” Keaton said suddenly.
“Oh?” Randall opened his eyes to peek at Keaton around the side of the screen. “Thank you, little one.”
“I thought it was a trick,” Keaton said. “I have not been… very nice to you.”
Randall shook his head. “It’s all right. You had every right after what’s happened to you.”
“I wanted to thank you.”
“There is no need. I would have done it for any creature in need. What they did to you was cruel.”
“I actually believe you when you say that.” Keaton frowned. “You’re not like the others.”
“Story of my life, little one.” Randall shifted in the tub, groaning lightly. His shoulders throbbed, and he went deeper until only his head was peeking out.
“Being kind… is considered strange?”
“Sometimes.”
Keaton thought that over for a few moments. “Then I am glad you’re strange.”
“Thank you.” Randall smiled, peeking open his eyes to look at Keaton. “I think that might be the nicest thing anyone’s ever said to me.”
“You are welcome.” Keaton was smiling too.
Randall’s heart thumped as their eyes met. He didn’t want to stare too long, and he politely redirected his attention back to his bathwater.
“May I ask you… a favor?”
“Anything, little one.”
“Would you…” Keaton ducked his head, as if blushing. “Bathe me?”
Randall blinked. “If you wish me to, I will.”
“It is a way that my kind bond,” he explained quickly. “We help bathe and feed one another, and I have missed it very much. It’s been very… lonely… without having anyone like me.”
Randall sat up in the tub to make room, drawing his knees to his chest. His pulse climbed as Keaton walked toward him. Despite wearing skintight unitards on the daily that left nothing to the imagination, he was shy about Keaton seeing him naked.
Keaton was equally hesitant, and he slinked out of bed so he could undress behind the screen.
Randall stared at the ceiling of the trailer and closed his eyes for good measure. He heard and felt Keaton sliding into the tub in front of him, and he peeked open one eye.
Keaton had his back to him, and his wings were wrapped around himself tight.
Randall’s blood was racing now, and he tried not to be too eager as he grabbed a sponge and some scented soap. He lathered up the sponge, asking, “Is there any special way that you do this?”
“No. Just please… go slow?”
“Of course, little one.” Randall sat up, and he carefully stretched his legs out on either side of Keaton. The brief bumps of naked flesh on his thighs made Randall shiver, and he gently dabbed the sponge over Keaton’s neck.
Randall was instantly in love with how soft Keaton’s green fur was, and it was just long enough he could swirl designs across his shoulders with the soap.
