Careful, now, no reason to risk a repeat. Shinji offers Kai a hand up as he gets back to his feet, as if he'll be able to keep him steady in the event of another slick spot appearing underfoot.

"That's no good," not as dire as an open wound, but still! "We can take it easy after this, all right?"

A little bit of rest, ignoring any implications their prior actions had been pointing to, is probably a wise idea.

Carefully gripping his hand, Kai made sure most of his weight was going towards the wall lest he end up pulling Shinji down with him. This had already been very stupid. No need to make it worse.

Frustrating as it was, he still didn't feel like arguing against the other boy's worries either. He just sighed, giving Shinji's hand a soft squeeze.

"I'll make it up to you."

Today is just determined to be incredibly stupid in any way it can.

But, make it up to him...? Because of those unspoken implications? And the entirely ruined mood? Another bit of color rises to Shinji's cheeks, but that promise is what gets his frown to soften up just a tiny bit. He loosens up his hold on Kai's hand, so he can instead move both hands up to cup the other's cheeks. Time for that face to become a sandwich.

"I'm not worried about that." It's not like either of them owes the other anything, especially when everything had been unspoken in the first place. More than that, he wouldn't expect Kai to leave him high and dry on purpose in any situation, let alone something like this.

There it was, the poutiest sandwich that could exist. Kai gave the very slightest shake of his head-- it was more like a wiggle, because he didn't actually want to dislodge Shinji's hands at all.

"I want to anyway," he murmured. That pouty pout was shifting to something more earnest as he lifted his own hands, carefully sliding them up over the other boy's wrists. "'M not done yet."

A cute, pouty sandwich. If the circumstances surrounding it weren't so troubling, Shinji would be downright charmed.

His resolve softens a little, however, at Kai's insistence. As worried as he may still be, he can't help but be sort of... curious, about what Kai might have in store, exactly. He won't keep his expectations very high, since it feels very unfair to ask too much of Kai after all of that, but maybe... Maybe. He keeps his hands up on Kai's face for a bit longer, running his thumbs gently over his cheekbones, to help soothe some of that residual pouting.

"Lets finish getting you cleaned up first, either way."

Yes, good, be distracted by his charms(?). Forget all about stupid tumbles. They were stupid and no one needed to remember that they had happened. Especially if all remembering was going to do was get in the way of... whatever things had been. The concern was appreciated, but Kai was painfully stubborn at seeing things through.

He just didn't really know what those things were, besides chasing those highs they'd set aside for the moment. There were thoughts. Some special considerations that had gotten riled up earlier. Where they went, well. Tracing his thumbs in little circles on the inside of Shinji's wrists, Kai gave a little nod.

"Alright," he agreed. "Then I'm kissing you."

Good job sending a fluttery shiver right up Shinji's back. He's sure there's an extra little spot of color hitting his cheeks, and his mouth is probably doing something very silly.

"You... you can do that whenever you want, you know." Like ? right now? Shinji carefully - carefully! No more slips and spills are happening here - leans up and plants a quick kiss on Kai's lips, to emphasize that point. "But... I'll look forward to it."

So let's get clean! Nice and quickly!

It was a very silly mouth thing to do, but it was also very cute. Kai definitely wanted to kiss it very much. He would have! Right now! Except that cute little smooch on Shinji's part just solidified what Kai was already starting to suspect.

"That's good," Kai murmured with a slow grin. "Cuz I'm pretty sure 'm not gonna stop."

So they were going to have to wait for that bit of making things up, or they were never getting out of this shower. Kai let Shinji go, glancing down at himself a bit. "I might be good though... How're you?" They had been going for Shinji's back before the uh. The happening. Let him catch a peek at your behind, Shinji.

What a dangerous thing to say, Kai.

Shinji exhales softly, forcing himself to put that thought on the shelf for now in the interest of finishing this shower adventure. He turns once more, glancing over his shoulder to check how much damage still needs to be cleaned up.

"Shouldn't take much to get clean." The water and soap rinsing out of his hair has helped a lot already, but a little help to get the last traces of chocolate off would be extremely nice.

"Mhm, it's looking pretty good. Just a bit more."

With an over abundance of caution in his movements, Kai got a little more soap lathered up on his hands. There would be no more cause for worry here. Only swift cleaning. He brushed his hands down across Shinji's skin, seeking out those last traces of chocolate with purpose. He would have liked to have lingered and really made this sweet like he originally intended, but those other promises were very compelling in their encouragement. He'd make all this haste up to him. So there those hasty hands went, trailing down the other boy's back and shoulders to dip down around his waist.

Begone, chocolate. Smooches were waiting. "Think that does it."

Chocolate? Banished. Soap suds? Banished. They were now that many steps closer to those promised smooches. Great job.

Even if there wasn't any real savoring of the situation, the hasty work still felt pretty nice, all things considered. Those hands at his waist are met with a small little startle, he wasn't expecting that! Even if he had been doing it himself just a few minutes ago! Golly.

"Mmm, thank you." What a real help everyone has been here today. Cleanliness has been achieved, Shinji would say, so let's keep that haste going for a bit longer. "I'll get the water, let's get out of here."

That startle just pulled a soft chuckle out of Kai, rumbling low near Shinji's ear as he leaned in to steal a kiss from his shoulder. A little one wouldn't be too dangerous, right? Not when they were on their way.

"Gotcha. I'll get the towels."

The towels that were definitely here in the bathroom this time. Streaking was now a forbidden risk, after all. So here was that bit of fluff in his hands, ready and willing to reach out and rub Shinji's hair at a moment's notice. "All in all, a success I think."

Even if Kyoko isn't presently home, that would truly be too big of a risk to take. Thank you for being right where you belong, towels, to prevent any untimely deaths of Good Girls.

And where the one in Kai's hands belongs, apparently, is over Shinji's head as he steps out of the shower. "Oh-!" And, mercifully, unhindered by any chocolate, whatever ruffle is going on here is nice and smooth. "Mmm, yeah, for the most part."

He hasn't forgotten that slip, but he's not going to call direct attention to it. It will just be there, sitting in his mind as something to be paying attention to. Gotta be careful with that noggin, Kai.

Kai's face flushed a bit more, still plenty embarrassed about the whole thing. How could this have happened. Geez. This was just going to lead to a whole future of telling him to be careful whenever he stepped into a shower, huh?

"Yeah, yeah," he said mildly, giving Shinji's hair an extra ruffle. Everyone knew what you were talking about, sir. Let him distract him with a boop of his finger on Shinji's nose, draping that towel down around his shoulders. "It'll be fine."

In fact he's just going to grab his own towel and assail his own head.

Maybe he'll just ask the robots to cook up some cute non-slip stickers the slap on the shower floor. That would solve the problem without genuine and/or playful comments of being careful thrown around, right? Just implied comments, any time they'd be seen. It's fine. A great idea, even.

Too bad he was distracted before he could even begin to think those thoughts, though. Distracted by a cute little boop to his nose, just as Kai intended, and the efforts are rewarded by a muted squeak of surprise. That towel around his neck is claimed very briefly for the purpose of drying off his face in a way that seems suspiciously like he's trying to hide his cheeks, just for a moment, before moving it down to towel off more thoroughly.

"Yeah." It'll be Fine.

Very cute. If only he could have thought of it.

The assault on his hair had been to gauge how Fine things actually were. There was a little bit of tenderness, but not enough to warrant changing gears, he was sure. Perhaps it would just have to be an immediate future of soft places. Seemed like that was an easy enough thing to arrange once they'd dried off. So a-rufflin' he went down the rest of him, following all those trickling trails.

When he was down he wrapped the towel around his waist, taking a moment to survey the damage done to the bathroom. Not... too bad, all things considered? Nothing that couldn't wait, he was pretty sure. He hmm'd, reaching up to push a hand back through his damp hair and send a little smile Shinji's way.

"You good?"

Shinji, for the most part, keeps himself focused on drying off, but can't help but steal a glance or two as Kai ruffles his own hair, trying to pick out any signs of distress or pain. Looks like he's doing okay, though Shinji's sure he'll still be extra careful if he has to handle that head anytime soon.

And, really, that just means a soft destination is very much in order. He secures his own towel, reaching up to lightly brush the tips of his fingers over Kai's arm.

"Yeah. Let's go."
