"You could tell me," he said, though the words died a bit on his lips as Bagoas moved.
Josef noticed so much. The sluicing of water over his skin, the fresh flash of scent. Skin and water and soap. Even beneath the sharp citrus, he could scent Bagoas' skin as he always had before they had been stranded. Before he had shared a tub with the other man.
His gaze dropped, staring down at the other man's legs as he raised the sponge to run it over one calf in those same circles meant to being soothing and still clean at the same time. It pauses though as he sink beneath the water and Josef leaned back against the coolness of the tub, just watching the other man with an intensity he was usually quick to dampen.
"I'm seeing your point," he said, smiling crookedly. Suddenly his hands, the sponge floating in the water, run over both of Bagoas' calves. "I only promised I would behave. Not that you had to."
