"Half the time?" A laugh was in her voice because she was pretty sure Otto was joking. "I guess the chocolate cake and dinners are the other half? Or is it the way I make the bathroom smell amazing?" Cami, like many other women, liked her girly scents. Being a tropical girl had her filling the bathroom with the smells of jasmine, hibiscus, tropical fruits, and even coconut. Coconut oil was the best for her hair.

Otto didn't always appreciate hitting a bathroom that smelled 100% of female and every time he said something about it she just laughed and hugged him so he had to smell it up close and personal. Even rub off a little in the case of the coconut. "Well I'm glad half the time it's ok."

"One day, someone's gunna walk in there and think I like all that fruity girl stuff. Like that the ******** are bath salts even for?" He was glad Cami never seemed to take his complaining or his joke seriously. A lot of people took his snark as an attack. People like Shu, for instance. But what do children know?

At least, he hoped she knew he was kidding. It was so much easier and safer to make light of things in his own grouchy way. Maebe seemed to appreciate that in him.

Inelegant and undignified was the snort that echoed off the kitchen tile. "Yeah and one day they'll wander into the bedroom, see my bra on the couch, and get the wrong idea. The whole island knows I live up here. Probably you could safely cross-dress all day up here without anyone thinking you were into it." It was easier to tease him back, easier to worry less, because she loved him. Because she didn't worry he was going to throw her out on her a** which made all the world of difference. Plus, really, the image of Otto in one of her bras was enough to make her giggle like a teenager.

"I mean, why not try the bath salts? You might like them. Turn on some relaxing music, dim the lights, relax in the warm water. You'd come out so relaxed I bet you'd sleep like a baby. Don't knock it until you try it!" Scrubbing diligently at a bowl she didn't much care whether he knocked it or not. Certainly it wasn't going to stop her from smelling like a paradise garden.

Pausing, she looked at Otto with a wicked gleam in her eyes. "Just wait. I'm going to make your shampoo smell like bananas."

"But like... what do the salts even do?" Otto was fixated on this point. It seemed silly, really. Salt in a bath? Was it part of her girly witch's spell? Girls and their five billion bath products in the bathroom. Why did they need so much? It was all potions and witchcraft to make them so cute and appealing, likely.

"I don't wanna smell like bananas." He replied dryly.

At least he wasn't saying no to the bath idea.

"Probably a good idea." She agreed easily. "Then I'd just have to nibble on your banana-yellow, banana-smelling head all day like some kind of zombie." Realizing how likely that was she winced only for a moment before holding hands up. "Except not. But the bath salts make the water like...ugh, I'm not a scientist." Huffing slightly fingers tapped the counter as she tried to think of the proper words. "I mean scientifically it makes the water softer so you get better soap and more skin comes off when you scrub. Detoxes you a bit because, well, salt. Purifies." She shrugged.

"It smells good and my skin is soft when I get out. Good enough for me!" Sticking her arm out to Otto she urged him on. "Feel. You don't get skin this soft, on this island, without lots and lots of salt in your water to soften it up a bit. And what do you wanna smell like? I can help." And then she could sniff a bit because good-smelling men were some of the best things on Earth. Almost as good as good-smelling women.

Otto softly ran his fingers up and down her arm. Damn, she was smooth. Girls tended to be smooth anyway. So soft and squishy. The best feeling.

Okay, so that sort of made sense. Something something dead skin comes off, something new skin is softer blah blah girly scents. "I usually just scrub down with like... Old Spice or Irish Spring body wash. Whatever's on sale." Manly scents for a pretend manly man. He used to use Axe body wash until Nevada demanded he refrain from it.

"I dunno. What do you even like men smelling like?"

As usually happened when someone stroked any part of her, tingles ran up Cami's arm and made her sigh just a little bit. She was such an awful, tactile creature that would probably wither and die without human contact every day -- skin on skin was the best feeling in the world. Had she known that Otto used to use AXE until he was dissuaded she would have gone to Nevada's grave every week to make sure that flowers were left on it for that fact alone.

Sadly without this information she could only mull over what it was she liked her men to smell like. "Gosh, it's been so long. I can't say I'm unhappy with how you smell to be honest. You smell clean and fresh and it's comforting." Realizing how that sounded she scowled, slightly. "I guess I could have said sexy but I dunno, I prefer the comfort. Sexy's easy to fabricate but comfort...it's better. To me, anyway." Leaning forward, because she could, Cami kissed him on the cheek.

"Don't worry about splurging on any fancy cologne though. The guys I spent more than one night with always had something different that was designer but you don't need it. You're perfect how you are...even if you won't let me turn you into a walking pina colada."

It started with words. Just a silly thing like saying his scent was pleasant delighted him. He didn't even mind or care that she said he was comforting instead of sexy. Honestly, he didn't aim to be sexy anyway. He liked that he brought her comfort. Being told he brought comfort for doing not much else other than being himself, or just being around. It was satisfying.

She leaned in, and he stopped breathing for a moment. Another kiss on the cheek. He couldn't keep himself from feeling nothing about it as his heart beat faster. Why couldn't he just let affectionate gestures slide? Why did they mean so much to him? Why did he feel an overwhelming flutter of butterflies every time she did it, instead of getting used to it? He'd tolerated her at the beginning, even if their beginning wasn't all that long ago. The more he let these girls in, the more he felt charmed by their gestures.

Lastly, she called him perfect. Just as he was, he was perfect. How could that even be true? He felt imperfect, flawed and dirty. Useless, crabby and a pain. Tainted by darkness, burdens and littered with scars. He was selfish, irritable, and temperamental.

How could he possibly deserve a caring friend like Cami? He was at a point he couldn't push her away out of fear he'd bring her down. He needed her too much.

Otto was lost in thought, forgetting to respond to Cami as he now began slowly eating the remains of her cake without even thinking.
