#me on wooahaes: im taking a short break

[nonranghaes]

heads up! domestic bath together, no sexual undertones. just two ppl taking a bath together :3 also mentions of reader + shua having drank wine earlier.

"you're falling asleep~"

joshua's voice teases you as you grumble a little, still fuzzy from the wine you and joshua had broken into earlier to go along with dinner (you more than him, to be honest). you can still taste it on the back of your tongue, you think. something about it makes you glad you're taking this bath with joshua holding you right now. sure, you're not so far gone that this would be a hazard, but you like knowing that he's keeping you safe. he giggles a little, fingers trailing across your bare skin as he massages your shoulders.

"i think," you mumble, eyes drifting shut for a moment, "i wanna go to sleep."

"oh?" there's a teasing lift to his voice, "do you?"

"you're bullying me again."

another chuckle, just as warm as before. "you," he says, "are not sleeping until i get a glass of water in you."

you whine.

"do i need to bring it back?" oh no. not the PSA he made in high school. "drink water--"

you whine again.

"not--" he's already chuckling as he draws you back into his arms, "not alcohol."

you think you actually might hate the love of your life for a minute. whereas joshua accepts it as a product of the time, the secondhand embarrassment you felt while watching that video was horrible. the cheesy effects and everything only made it worse, and current-day joshua thrives on reminding you of it just to see you grimace at remembering it. it's not even your embarrassing video, but joshua thinks that only makes your reaction funnier.

he rests his cheek against you, planting a soft kiss against your skin. "i love you," he says, and you can feel him smiling against your skin. "but i'm getting prune-y, and i'm not leaving you here. c'mon," he nudges for you to get up. "we can cuddle... after your glass of water."

you'll be sure to hold him to it.
