[The crocodile wasn't invited to this party, it's okay. He does smile at the whole thing, though, as he reaches over to scratch behind one of Aika's ears with his index finger.]
[Ah-- that catches him off guard. Akira just blinks for a second, the tiniest, lightest hint of a blush creeping up on his cheeks, before he's just softly laughing it off.]
Mm. Let me know when you're all ready and I'll come help you dry off those furry bath intruders.
[That said, he stands to give him some privacy to finish.]
[ A lot of humming, splashing, giggles-- and about thirty minutes later, Akito stepped out of the bathroom door, a squirming dog held in his arms, towel over his shoulders, and one wrapped around his waist. ]
Akiraa, take him for a minute, please? He won't stop moving and I need to-- get my clothes. Kira and Gito are still swimming around.
--.. oh. I need to get more shampoo soon, too! We used it all. I think there might be some bubbles and water on the floor, too. They splashed around a lot.
[ Which was called over his shoulder, before Akito disappeared into Akira's room. Because apparently this is where he keeps his shit now. ]
We can take that shopping trip tomorrow, if you want. [Called out loud to him, so that Akito could hear even if in a different area.]
[But-- for now he just shakes his head at that as he lays out a dry towel on the floor to hastily soak up any water there, followed by setting the tub to drain. Aika was up first on the drying schedule, so he set the puppy on the counter to do so. And maybe nuzzle him and receive cute puppy-kisses as thank yous when he was done.]
[Well, it was already done, so he picks up Kira and promptly begins to dry him. Once he was done, Akira sets the fox down to go on its way, and he begins to clean up some of the mess as well as he can.]
[That earns a wider smile at Akito, and Akira leans down to whisper in his ear.]
It's a surprise for Akito, who's like royalty tonight. Don't tell him, I want him to be extra surprised when he sees his castle.
[Not that he normally didn't fuss and care for Akito as if he were royalty every day, but Akira figures tonight can be the spoken, playful and exaggerated version.]
Come on. [He straightens up and gives the arm Akito was holding a light tug to get them going.]

[ There's Aika under one arm, Gito swimming on the other half-- and suddenly Kira. All that's missing is-- the crocodile. ]

They're cute when they're wet.

[ Raising Aika, he moved him down, putting him back into the water. ]
Can you grab some bandages too?
offline;
[He moves a few steps back to open the cabinet drawer, reaching for the first aid kit.]
Does it hurt?
offline;
[ He moved a hand down, gesturing to the cuts. ]
They're not bleeding anymore and only sting a little.

[ Akito leans up a little, to press a kiss to Akira's cheek. ]
I'll make sure they smell really good, then come out.

This entire bathroom smells like a strawberry field.

Me first, Akiraa. Or-- second, I guess.

[Antibiotic: get. He carefully applies a thin coat of it to the wounds before he begins to bandage them.]
... Can I write things on them? Like how people sign casts.

[ He bent his fingers after the bandages were wrapped around, curling them into his palm, then-- holding them out flat again. ]
I can't argue with that!
offline;
Good. Now go find some markers and start your reign over the blanket fort I made you for the movie, I'll be there as soon as I get Kira and Gito dry.
offline;
[ --so, going towards the bathtub. ]
offline;
[But not really fighting it, getting the towels ready.]
offline;
[ Grabbing one of them, then-- and lifting Gito out of the tub with it. ]

Leave it for later. There's movies to watch and-- what were all those blankets doing out there, Akira?
[ A teasing smile, but he was-- excited over it, at least. ]
