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 blushed some, staring at the wet clothed thief before sighing. “Are you going to need some dry clothes after this?” Why he opted to remain dressed he didn’t know but in some ways he preferred it. Though honestly he would have rather they both be naked so he wasn’t the only one.
The smirk only darkened his flush but that also could have something to do with how hot the water was as well. After all he seemed to be trying to boil his skin off before the thief joined him. “I… would appreciate the help with my back though, I guess..”
Kid grinned when it seemed Shinichi accepted his offer, and he looked around for a washcloth.
“I still have a change of clothes in my jacket somewhere, so don’t worry about that. Just would have to borrow one of your towels to dry off with.”
And in regards to the clothes he currently wore… well, he might feel comfortable enough around the detective to stop by and visit without warning, and apparently even go so far as to interrupt him in the shower without getting uneasy… Being completely exposed didn’t sound so comfortable. At least, not like this, when Shinichi might have kicked him out – and had the right to, this being his house. Far safer to step in clothed with that possibility than to not. Though he may be starting to regret it… Even if the water didn’t actually bother him, the heat became trapped… Not that Kid would let that discomfort show.
