That sight leaves Rafe blinking and apparently blank under the water for a moment before lurching in for a last kiss, that thumb caught between their mouths and he'll be goddamned. Knock him over with a feather and you'd get him halfway to the floor but oh, if it isn't a hell of a nice surprise. ]
I'll keep that in mind.
[ For next time, though. Anyone with eyes can see Nate hit his last leg about ten minutes ago. The heaviness settling in isn't as much as it could've been, but he knows it's worse for Nate. So Rafe wastes little time reaching up and to the side, detaching the shower head to better direct the stream and rinse off Nate's middle. Hardly thorough but good enough. That and the time already spent under have given them a decent accounting — Nate more than Rafe, but then again Rafe was hardly the one coming in half-caked with mud and speckled with blood.
He herds Nate out of the shower once the water's off, goosebumps making tracks up and down his skin soon as step one. Rafe slings one around his hips haphazardly, barely hanging on as he runs the cloth along Nate to at least make sure he doesn't put him to bed sopping wet. ]
