A nice warm shower after working late did quite a good job at clearing Soushi's thoughts. It also unfortunately worked to make him displeased over the fact that he didn't have anything to make notes with available, because now that he had managed to relax a little, he had thought of a couple of ideas regarding his research that hadn't crossed his mind back in the office. He tapped his fingers against the wall, going through his idea again. It might just work, even if it required a lot of testing, but it would also have to wait till tomorrow.

Making notes would also have to wait right now, mostly because standing under the water falling on his shoulders reminded him of the fact that he had left the conditioner in his hair for near ten minutes now. He scolded himself for the fact that he was using his shower for thinking instead of what he was supposed to be doing here. It was a good thing he hadn't made any plans for tonight, otherwise this unplanned long shower would've ruined his schedule, he thought as he rinsed off the conditioner. Now, all he had in mind for tonight was to make those extra notes in his work file - then, perhaps some late dinner.

There was a slight sound outside that he paid no attention to, mostly due to the water flow silencing other noise. It also meant he only realized there was a naked Kazuki in his shower at the point when there was a naked Kazuki in his shower.

"Kazu-" Soushi started to say, only to find himself pressed against the wall. Kazuki covered his lips with his own and kissed him almost forcibly, not that Soushi minded. He allowed it, finding it rather pleasant if surprising. "...ki," he finished as Kazuki broke the kiss. "This is rather sudden." Kazuki gave him a questioning look, and Soushi quickly shook his head. "That wasn't a complaint by any means," he added, realizing full well that if Kazuki started thinking he didn't want this, he would stop - and now that they had already started, Soushi didn't exactly want him to stop. Rather, he was curious to see where this was going. "Continue."

It was enough of an approval, and Kazuki moved in for another kiss, burying his fingers in Soushi's wet hair. The warm water fell on them both, but it went ignored, and Soushi wasn't feeling like turning off the shower right now. He had more important things to do, like kissing Kazuki back and attempting to dominate the kiss. His boyfriend seemed rather aggressive today, though, and he gave up, allowing Kazuki to do as he pleased. He couldn't exactly complain as Kazuki pulled him closer for a deeper kiss, then moved his left hand lower, caressing Soushi's skin as he went.

"Rough day at work?" Soushi wondered between kisses, entangling his fingers in Kazuki's hair in return. The muffled response he got resembled an agreement, and Kazuki pressed on, placing kisses on Soushi's neck and upper body. "A lot of orders at once?" Soushi asked, calculating the reasons for the surprise shower intrusion. "You decided some stress relief is needed, and this is a fine way to do it?"

"Would you shut up?" Kazuki paused his caresses and raised his head, staring Soushi right in the eyes. "You're ruining the mood," he added with a hint of a smile, making Soushi kind of feel bad about theorizing the possible reasons for this. "Yes, today was insanely busy," Kazuki confirmed, drawing his fingertips over Soushi's face. He then leaned in for a quick kiss, moving his hands lower to caress Soushi's waist. "And I haven't seen you all day, so I thought I'd stop by. You were in the shower and I thought I'd wait, but you seemed to be taking your time. I sat down to wait, a couple of minutes passed and then I got a better idea."

Soushi sighed and leaned his back against the wall. "Ah, that. I got distracted thinking about work. But may I remind you I also already agreed to this, so you might just as well go on with this 'better idea' of yours." His eyes scanned Kazuki for a second before he nodded, glancing down. "And I'm quite aware that at this point it'd be very much in vain to claim that I'm not at all interested, all things considered."

His remark earned a bit of a grin from Kazuki, who leaned closer for another quick kiss then slipped his hand onto Soushi's crotch. "I'd dare to claim you're plenty interested," Kazuki mused, fondling Soushi for a little. "My idea involves taking care of this and a lot more, and since you do seem to be willing to help me with the stress relief part..." He caught Soushi by the hair with his free hand and kissed him again, deeply and passionately.

It wasn't the first time they'd gotten busy in the shower, and Soushi didn't mind if another occasion got added to the list. He gave in to the kiss and let Kazuki caress him, even if his rational side made a mental note that the occasion was more noteworthy than usual just for Kazuki's sneakiness. The combination of the warmth of the shower and his partner's caresses were making him rather lightheaded, and he leaned against the wall and enjoyed the feeling of the kisses and Kazuki's touches.

For a moment anyway, because another kiss later Kazuki pulled him closer then turned him around and pressed him against the wall, and at that point Soushi, facing the wall, froze. "Wait," he ordered, trying to turn around without much success as Kazuki had him pinned against the wall. "Wait, Kazuki," he repeated, his voice dead serious now as he turned his head to look over his shoulder. Kazuki looked at him with a confident smile, like there was no worry in the world, only serving to make Soushi more alarmed. "I might've agreed to this, but there is no way we're doing it here like this."

"And why not?" Kazuki asked, still appearing way too pleased with the situation, even if he definitely had to realize Soushi's reluctance to continue. This made Soushi frown. What was going on in Kazuki's head, anyway? Didn't he know any better, or did everything really have to be spelled out for him? Not the first time, but Kazuki's carefree attitude was making Soushi somehow annoyed.

Might just as well make it clear, then. "We're not doing it in the shower, because do I need to remind you that water is not a good lubricant, and this," Soushi stated as he reached behind himself, managing to grab Kazuki's erection. "Is coming nowhere near my ass without proper preparations. We're either getting out of the shower or taking care of this some other way. I can offer you suggestions if..."

At that point Soushi found himself trailing off, as Kazuki held up a one-use package of lube. "This what you were worried about?" Kazuki asked with a grin, his voice too damn smug. Soushi stared at him for a few seconds in disbelief before sighing. Here he was, not giving Kazuki enough credit, when Kazuki could certainly get very careful about making sure Soushi was comfortable with anything they did. "Don't worry, I've got this," Kazuki continued. "Did you seriously expect me to suggest anything without being prepared? You'd never let me hear the end if it I did and, well." He chuckled. "There you go, you were already about to start doing so. Now, if you'd lean closer against the wall for a bit so the water doesn't wash this off?"

"All right," Soushi replied. "I admit defeat, although this suddenly gives me quite a good idea where exactly you got this kind of idea from." Kazuki shrugged then occupied himself opening the small package, and Soushi turned away, pressing his forehead against the wall. "Let me theorize how this went. You got into my room, planning sex from the start, except I happened to be in the shower. It just happens you saw the new box of the lube packages I got at some point on my desk, and here we are. I would also..." He was about to continue, but Kazuki shifted closer and slapped his right hand over Soushi's mouth to silence him.

That done, Kazuki kissed his neck. "Just shut up already. Please?" He whispered into Soushi's ear. "Not that you aren't right, but enough analysis. If you want your preparations, relax." He removed his hand then got some of the lube on his fingers and glanced down. "And, ah. Spreading your legs a little more might help too?" He added, sounding almost embarrassed.

At that point Soushi almost made a remark about exactly how stressed and frustrated Kazuki actually was, but he decided against it and did as told, leaning his hands against the wall for support. Kazuki waited a moment, probably to let him prepare himself, and Soushi rolled his eyes. "Kazuki. If you're taking the lead here, then do so and don't wait for my permission for everything. I'm quite certain you know what you're doing, so you could- Nnh!"

Perhaps Kazuki chose to take the hint at that particular moment, and Soushi gritted his teeth to silence himself as Kazuki pressed his fingers into him. He was certainly relaxed enough after standing under the shower for so long, and he knew how to prepare himself for this, but he still mentally noted that Kazuki seriously was more into this than usual. "Does this hurt?" Kazuki questioned, pressing his fingers deeper and carefully preparing him, and Soushi closed his eyes.

"I'm fairly certain you know what it feels like to get a few fingers up your ass," Soushi pointed out. "Slight discomfort can't be avoided, but it actually feels-" He bit his lip and pressed his forehead harder against the wall as Kazuki moved his fingers a little, just in the right angle to make Soushi shiver under the touch. "...Quite... great," he finished his sentence, stopping to take a deep breath. "Just get done with it."

It certainly seemed that Kazuki didn't need much encouragement in the end, and he was quite happy to continue the preparations while nibbling on Soushi's earlobe. The combination of Kazuki moving his fingers and the gently bites on his ear made Soushi feel like he was losing composure, and he leaned heavily on the wall, focusing on keeping his breathing under control. He'd just been in the shower for too long, he rationalized, wondering if the wall was somehow lacking as a support, or if he was just shaking.

"Soushi, I... can't wait much longer," Kazuki muttered, removing his fingers. Soushi took a deep breath, relieved and disappointed at the same time. "If it's okay with you..." Before Soushi got to make the comment about Kazuki already having his damn permission for this, Kazuki pressed his body against his, wrapping an arm around Soushi's waist. He gently pushed Soushi's legs apart a little more before pressing his hard-on between Soushi's buttocks then into him.

It didn't particularly hurt, but then again, Soushi's pain tolerance was way beyond the levels where minor pain would've bothered him. "You..." He took a few deep breaths and opened his eyes to glance over his shoulder. "Do realize having sex in the shower is still one of the worst ideas ever," he pointed out. "Be careful. The shower's still on, and the floor could be slippery."

"You think I would lose balance?" Kazuki asked, taking a few seconds to adjust. "Or that I'd let you fall for that matter?" Definitely not, Soushi mentally replied to the question. Not with Kazuki's reflexes considered. "Don't worry about everything and just let me..." Kazuki trailed off and pulled away slightly then pressed himself against Soushi again, deeper into him, and a gasp escaped Soushi's lips. It felt quite good, he noted; maybe better than when they did this in bed, or it could've just been the circumstances, he wasn't sure.

He braced himself against the wall and pressed against Kazuki to meet his movements, then just closed his eyes again and let Kazuki take control of things. It seriously had been a while since he'd found himself so quickly out of breath, he thought, focusing on trying to keep his breathing calm. The damned shower, he rationalized, even as Kazuki pressed into him again, and he gritted his teeth to not cry out.

Kazuki pressed his left hand against the wall for support while placing his right hand on Soushi's hip, holding him firmly as he picked up his pace. "Nn, Soushi... You... feel good," he muttered, continuing moving even as he had to adjust his position a little to avoid standing right under the shower. He found a good position a moment later and slipped his hand around Soushi, wrapping his fingers around Soushi's erection to touch him.

The warm water partially falling on top of them made Soushi consider turning the shower off, but he was quite enjoying his current position and didn't feel like reaching for the tap. Besides, with his palms against the wall, he didn't dare to move, even if he knew Kazuki would've caught him if he had slipped. Kazuki thrust into him harder at that particular moment, and he gasped for air and rested his forehead against the wall for a moment before pushing himself away from it, doing his best to press himself against Kazuki behind him, at the same time trying to move against Kazuki's hand fondling him.

"Kazu...ki... The shower..." he muttered, finding it surprisingly difficult to form a proper sentence. To his relief, Kazuki got the point and paused his actions for a moment, reaching for the shower - not that he managed to turn it off completely, but what he did manage was to turn it cooler, which Soushi quite welcomed.

Between the thrusts, Kazuki raised his hand to push Soushi's hair out of the way then placed kisses on his neck. "Is... that better?" Kazuki asked in a low voice while nibbling on Soushi's neck, which made Soushi think of two things - the fact that this was probably going to leave marks, which was irrelevant since his hair would cover it, and the more important fact, which was, it felt great.

"Ah, gah... That's..." He trailed off, not sure what he was trying to say and instead just focused on breathing. Kazuki's body against his, pressing into him – Kazuki's fingers touching him, and Kazuki kissing and biting his neck. It was too distracting, and Soushi wanted to be over with it already, idly wondering if he was going to last on his feet. He certainly hoped so, because at the same time he didn't want it to end yet, not when it felt this good.

The thrusts had turned so rapid by now, like Kazuki really couldn't hold back at all, and Soushi gave up on trying to keep himself controlled and just pressed his upper arms against the wall, gripping the cool surface with his fingers. "Ah... ah, Kazuki, gh..." He still couldn't remember what he wanted to say and settled to just repeating Kazuki's name quietly a few times between gasping for breath.

He leaned his head on his arm, finding himself shaking a little as Kazuki pressed deep into him again, pulling away slightly then thrusting in again, and Soushi found himself thinking Kazuki seemed to have trouble focusing. His attempt at fondling Soushi was failing as well, and Soushi bit his lip and composed himself enough to just reach for Kazuki's hand to push it away. "E...nough... Just... finish," he managed to say.

With clear orders, Kazuki was quick to please; he grabbed a hold of Soushi's hips with both hands and just pressed harder against him, muttering something unclear under his breath. Soushi considering touching himself for a second but decided against it; he was too close to release already, and without extra attention he might've just had the chance to last as long as Kazuki did.

Not that he had much strength left anymore, and he settled back to supporting himself against the wall and just felt all of Kazuki's need to have him so badly, enjoying every slightest move. "Gah, Kazu... ki..." He mumbled, panting heavily. "...Kazuki... I... can't..."

The last coherent thought Soushi remembered before the orgasm hit him so hard he felt like he was going to faint was that this was going to end up in a mess, but on the other hand, there certainly was plenty of water available for washing.

As he came to, he realized actually had blanked out, and he was lying in his bed with a bathrobe on, with a very embarrassed Kazuki clad in a towel sitting next to him. "Soushi! Are you okay?" Kazuki asked, appearing completely mortified. "Maybe I was a little too rough."

"You tell me," Soushi wondered. "It appears you had to carry me out of shower after I passed out." He reached up to touch Kazuki's face and smiled. "It's fine. And don't you even dare to try apologizing for something I agreed to and... Something that felt that good. It's not your fault I stood in the shower for so long that this was enough to knock me out of it." He took a deep breath. "Are you at least feeling less stressed now? Also. You better have finished, and not stopped with me passing out or anything," Soushi added, giving Kazuki a firm look.

Kazuki nodded slightly. "Mmm. I, uh, did. Right after you... So. It was very..." He chuckled, still appearing embarrassed. "Stress relief wise, it worked quite well. I guess."

"Well, then," Soushi relaxed a little. "Quite a thing, this. Need to remember this for later purposes." Kazuki gave him a questioning look, and Soushi was quick to change the subject. "That about my idea of going anywhere for late dinner, though. I'm way too out of it for that."

"Oh, right, dinner. I figured you haven't eaten, so I brought leftovers," Kazuki said with a smile, gesturing towards the desk.

Soushi blinked then glanced at his desk, with a box from Rakuen on it. "...I guess I really do get to leave everything to you tonight," he commented with a smile. "Fine, then. Feed me," he ordered.

Kazuki laughed a little then picked up the food he had brought.
