Gabriel had assumed that Eric would have used the shower more often, though it made sense that he preferred the lagoon or the tank to fully submerge in. Still, a shower was the best that the human could do for him right now, given the confined space the trailer offered. He was happy when the merman followed him down to the bathroom, their hands still connected even as Gabe fiddled with the settings in the dim light.
"Shit," he muttered to himself, hearing the hiss that Eric gave and quickly lowering the temperature of the water. Although it was a shock to his own system, the cold water making him gasp quietly, he huddled closer to the merman for any warmth that he could provide while looping an arm around Eric's waist. Pushing his hair from his face, Gabe let out a flattered laugh at the compliment before trailing his fingertips across the glowing skin of the other man's back. "I don't compare to this," he whispered, watching in wonder as the colours swirled and danced under his touch. "This is beautiful."
