The water ran hot, near scalding, and fogged the room up completely on top of threatening to turn Shinichi’s skin bright red. It had been a long, tiring day of multiple murder cases and he was so tired of smelling of blood. A long, tired sigh left the detective and he tilted his head back to let the hot water soothe his muscles.
That was until the curtain was drawn back and some one was slipping into the shower behind him. Startled he turned around and let out a noise of surprise (which sounded like an awkward duck squawk). “O-oi! What in the world are you doing, you stupid thief?”
He’d left his suit and hat the sink, as well as his tie and gloves, though left the monocle. It had fogged up upon even entering the room, but he did have to maintain some manner of disguise. And he definitely hadn’t wanted to miss this opportunity…
“Joining you, obviously.”
Even half blinded, he could still see the other fairly well, though if he was just focusing on the other’s face right now. The water and steam were quickly making his clothes cling to him, which felt a bit strange, since he wasn’t used to dealing with wet clothes too often while he was inside. At the very least, he supposed he should have untucked the shirt…. So he started to do so now, even if it was a bit more trouble to do with the water.
“I did knock, but you didn’t seem to hear me. So, I just dropped in.” He looked at Shinichi with a smirk. “Thought I might could wash your back for you, if you want.~”
