๑۩۞۩๑ ๑۩ﺴ Some shadows have more depth. ﺴ۩๑ Ethan let out a noise that could've been a reply, but it became quieter. One look down at those closed eyes and gentle breathing and it'd be easy to tell that the Texan had fallen asleep.

✻ ✺ ✹ ✴ʆ ock ҥan✸ ✷ ✶ ✵ Looking down, Lock chuckled breathlessly at the sleeping brunette. " I swear," he trailed off, moving the sponge to continue washing Ethan. He didn't really need a bath, having taken one that morning, so whenever Ethan was clean, he didn't mind carrying him into the bedroom and putting him to bed. Ethan needed the rest.

๑۩۞۩๑๑۩ﺴ Some shadows have more depth. ﺴ۩๑ The Texan mumbled incoherent things in his sleep; random words between "Jumpsuit" and "Orange". Among his semi-conversations, Lock's name was the most commonly uttered word, said about twice or three times. Whatever Ethan was dreaming, it was obvious that he wasn't alone in it.

✻ ✺ ✹ ✴ʆ ock ҥan✸ ✷ ✶ ✵With a silent laugh, Lock finished washing the teen before he lifted him out of the bath and wrapped a towel around him. He carried Ethan, himself stark naked and dripping wet, into the bedroom. After drying him off, Lock wrapped the damp towel around his own waist, then lay Ethan down and covered him with a blanket. He smiled softly, then walked out of the room to put their food into the fridge.

๑۩۞۩๑๑۩ﺴ Some shadows have more depth. ﺴ۩๑ To Lock's dismay, the pot was on the ground with its noodle innards sprawled everywhere along with some of the meat. The only evidence of what happened was a trail of sauce drenched paw prints that led all the way to... Lock's leg! Clementine put her stained paws on the blonde's legs in an attempt to get his attention, eager to see him after what felt like years.

✻ ✺ ✹ ✴ʆ ock ҥan✸ ✷ ✶ ✵Lock looked around in shock, jaw dropped open. He glanced downwards at the feeling of paws on his skin, bending down to pick up the puppy. " How the hell'd you get on the counter?" he asked her, completely confused by what had happened. With a sigh, he shook his head as he walked into the bathroom. " Well, jokes on you. Now you've got to have a bath." After yanking on his blue jeans, he pulled the drain plug, then filled the bathtub just enough to bath the puppy in after it was emptied. He took one of the disposable cups they used when they brushed their teeth, scooping up water and pouring it over the puppy's hindquarters.

๑۩۞۩๑๑۩ﺴ Some shadows have more depth. ﺴ۩๑ As she realized what was going on, the puppy's cheerful panting turning into desperate, fretful whimpers. She squirmed and shook as vigorously as her tiny body would allow, but it wasn't enough to escape her confines. The water was cold, and she yelped in surprise and splashed about vigorously. The yelp shocked Ethan awake. " Huh?! Wha-" There was a loud thud. " Sh-t..." Ethan lay on the floor beside the bed, half of the blanket still coiled around his body as his hands covered his face. Not the best way to wake up. After a moment of solitude, he sniffed and wiped away whatever was left of the grogginess and sat up, taking in his surroundings. Did he fall asleep in the bath? Huh. So much for romantic. He looked over at the bathroom, still hearing yelps. " What's going on...?" Ethan mumbled as he peeked into the bathroom.

✻ ✺ ✹ ✴ʆ ock ҥan✸ ✷ ✶ ✵By the time Ethan wandered in, Lock had already finished bathing the puppy, wrapping her up in a big fluffy towel and holding her against his chest as he rubbed her head with the towel to dry her. " Dumb dog made a mess of our dinner, got spaghetti sauce everywhere. It's almost admirable. Anyway, she got sauce all over her, so I decided to give her a bath before it dried to her fur and got all matted." He scratched under her chin in apology. She really was Ethan's dog.

๑۩۞۩๑๑۩ﺴ Some shadows have more depth. ﺴ۩๑ Ethan blinked several times, the first few times to get the sleepiness out of his eyes and the next few times to understand what he was told. He looked down at Clementine then smile widely and laughed, "That's awesome!" He walked over, forgetting that he wasn't dressed himself, and scratched the puppy's chin. " I guess that means the spaghetti I made was pretty good, huh?" He looked at Lock and leaned in as if about to tell him a secret. " The secret is putting some orange juice in the sauce." Oh, so it really was a secret.

✻ ✺ ✹ ✴ʆ ock ҥan✸ ✷ ✶ ✵" You put orange juice in the spaghetti sauce?" Lock's left eyebrow quirked. He was dating a nutjob. " You're going to end up killing our dog," he deadpanned, holding the puppy close and turning. He had to finish cleaning up. " You're naked, by the way."

๑۩۞۩๑๑۩ﺴ Some shadows have more depth. ﺴ۩๑ " I don't put a whole carton in it! Just a drop or two!" he scowled. He froze when he heard Lock's last comment and looked down, blushing. " Oh. Heh. Would you look at that?" he chuckled nervously and quickly grabbed a towel to wrap behind his waist. " The least you could've done was put shorts on me!" he whined.

✻ ✺ ✹ ✴ʆ ock ҥan✸ ✷ ✶ ✵" I was a little busy." He set the dog in the little dog bed, telling her to stay, then turned to start cleaning the floor up. " Jesus, it's like I have kids. I'm a soccer mom." He laughed at himself, then shook his head and kept scrubbing. " Go back to sleep. I gotta finish cleaning, then get ready for tomorrow."

๑۩۞۩๑๑۩ﺴ Some shadows have more depth. ﺴ۩๑ Ethan shook his head and got on his knees, starting to clean part of the floor with a washcloth he picked up. " Nah, I'm fine. You're the one with school tomorrow, so why don't you head to bed and I'll clean up?" he offered.

๑۩۞۩๑๑۩ﺴ Some shadows have more depth. ﺴ۩๑ " No way, I can do it." Ethan insisted, unconvinced. He huffed his cheeks in defiance for a minute then deflated and gave him a kind smile. " Relax, okay? I'll be fine. If you're that worried you can just relax in bed and watch some TV. I'll be sure to be loud enough so you'll know I'm fine."
