Regulus woke up with a jolt, completely disorientated. He felt like it wasn't the first time that night he’d done that. He felt the strong arms wrapped tightly around him and the burning body behind him. He felt warm from his toes to his nose. He snuggled back, greedy for more. The arms tightened even more and a soft kiss was pressed into his hair. 

“Morning, love,” James murmured into his curls as he pressed a few more kisses, moving steadily down to Regulus’s neck. Regulus shuddered. He felt wonderful. He knew it was way too early for all that, but he imagined this was what it felt like to be loved. Then James’s words wiggled their way into his brain. Morning! Shit! He had to go. 

He began to wriggle in James’s arms, trying to get free, and James instantly released him as soon as he realised that’s what he was doing. Regulus felt a pang of loss in his chest when the protective arms left his body. He was sorely tempted to dive back into the comfy bed, snuggle up to James and stay there for the rest of his life. But the others would be wondering where he’d gone. 

He began separating his clothes from James’s, making sure his pile definitely had his green Slytherin tie as he’d never hear the end of it if he turned up with a Gryffindor tie around his neck. 

James shuffled in the bed so he could see Regulus better. “It’s pretty early still,” He said, breaking the silence of the room. “What if I draw us a bath, and we relax in there for a bit before breakfast?” James screwed his eyes shut, and a huge clawfoot bath appeared before the fireplace, full of steaming hot water. Regulus looked at the enticing sight and then at James’s hopeful face. He’d been about to say no, but his traitorous lips had other ideas. 

“Okay,” Stupid mouth, he thought as he watched James slowly rise from the bed, his eyes sparkling brightly as he approached Regulus, leading him by the hand to the bath and helping him in. 

They sunk into the relaxing water and both let out a little moan as the water surrounded them. Regulus postponed himself between James’s legs and laid back against James’s chest, letting out a little contented sigh when those strong, protective arms came up around him again.

It was late evening when your DDD started ringing. An unusual time for someone to call unless they were either drunk or in mortal peril. This occasion happened to be the latter.

Karasu's caller ID flashed a photo of Luke across the screen after the first ring. The angel was always early to bed and early to rise and never called without good reason, so you scrambled to answer, moving so fast that your finger slipped and you initially missed the right button.

"Hello?" you said. It took a moment for the call to connect.

"Hi... Sorry, umm, is now a good time?"

Luke sounded close to tears. He was trying to keep himself composed for your sake, but the distressed warble in his voice betrayed him. By the sound of things, he wasn't in his bedroom. He wasn't even in the living room or kitchen of Purgatory Hall. It was somewhere small, where his voice echoed off the walls.

"Luke, are you okay? Where are you?"

You recognized the sound of splashing water when he sniffled just before responding, "I'm in the bath."

It was an odd answer, but at least he was somewhere safe. So, why was he crying?

"Did Solomon feed you anything weird?"

"No, that's not it." Luke took a deep breath and winced. The sounds of agitated water accompanied his explanation. "You see... Simeon got a new shampoo that smells like cloudberries, and I really wanted to try some. Just a little bit, honest! But it came out of the bottle really fast, and it fell into my eyes." The crying began in earnest. "It really hurts and now I can't get it out of my eyes and Simeon's going to find out I used his shampoo without asking."

You felt slightly thankful that Solomon wasn't using the little angel as his food taster, but his small sobs over such a small matter made your heart ache.

"I'm going blind as punishment for stealing Simeon's shampoo," he confessed.

"Hey! Hey, no you're not! It's going to be okay!" you assured him. "You're not going to go blind. Listen. Turn on the faucet and try to splash some clean water in your eyes. Also, keep crying."

The sound of a running faucet could be heard through the phone. "Why? Will my tears prove that I'm repenting and weaken the punishment?"

"It'll... uh, yeah? Yeah, sure. It will also rinse the shampoo out of your eye so they stop stinging, but it'll do that, too."

There was a soft thud as Luke set his DDD down, followed by several minutes of loud splashing noises and weeping. He was having a tough time. You tried to be encouraging, unsure if he could hear you or not, by chiming in with the occasional "you're doing great!" and "hang in there!"

The tears came to a stop and Luke turned the faucet off. There was a beat of silence, followed by him exclaiming from afar, "it worked!"

He picked the phone back up. "It worked! I can see again! It doesn't hurt as much! Thank you! I'm so glad I called." The boy sounded like he was crying again, this time in relief. He had his usual cheery demeanor back.

"Everything OK now?"

"Yeah! I really owe you. I have to go tell Simeon what I did now, but I'll properly thank you tomorrow at school."

You wondered what sort of treats he would present. A drain popped open and you heard the water swirling away. Your muscles were still tense from concern, but the emergency had been swiftly dealt with.

"Glad I could help. Be sure to get lots of sleep, okay? You need to rest your eyes."

You could tell Luke was nodding even if you couldn't see him. "Got it!"

"Good night, Luke."

"Good night!"

So, Aang, Sokka and Katara are probably a little awkward around all the royals and Important Fancy People - but they make do. Zuko and Toph are both high society people, they're fine. But do you who isn't making do and who isn't fine?

SUKI.

Suki is from a tiny remote island, where all girls know is face paint, feed them to the Unagi, dismantle sexism, be bisexual, eat hot chip & lie sorry, my point is that aside from the Gaang and enemies, the highest ranking person Suki has interacted with pre-Boiling Rock is probably the crabby customs lady at the Ba Sing Se ferries.

It would be perfectly fine to characterize Suki as being very matter-of-fact, cool, unflappable about their new station in life... but it would be a lot funnier if she only looked like that, while freaking the fuck out internally. Because guess who Sokka just invited out to lunch with them?

The Earth King! Who, in the entire history of Kyoshi Island, has never even sent a letter there! One Earth King did mention Kyoshi Island in passing, and this was recorded in a minor noble's letter to a sister-in-law whose cook sometimes bought fish from Kyoshi - and Kyoshi Island bought and preserved that letter! That's how important he is! So WHY exactly. Does fucking Sokka have INSIDE JOKES with the man??? Sokka if you tell him the cabbage patch joke I'll - he's laughing?!

So does anybody else ever think about how Loop felt the need to demonstrate that the party's deaths wouldn't have any effect on the loops. I know I do but that's besides the point. Anyway I don't think Loop actually needs to bathe, they just like to feel included.

giving us the info that dan heng uses magic for any hygienic purposes before immediately dropping his ass on the planet with a huge bathing culture was actually very funny of them
