Open Vitae Medical Cruiser

Daniel raised a brow as she started to freeze up, watching intently as her expressions shifted from one to another. Her initial shock amused him for a bit, but as she jumped in place and started glancing towards the wall he stifled a small chuckle at the sight. Her cheeks had flushed a brighter red and as she uttered out her request he nodded, taking a step closer to her before putting his right hand on her waist and his left on her arm. "I can help, sorry I forgot earlier." He uttered softly, guiding her to turn around for him before he reached upwards and pulled at her zipper. Daniel was a bit red himself at this moment as he watched the dress spread open, and as it reached the bottom he ran a hand back up her spine and towards her shoulders as he slightly tugged to help the dress come loose. "Was that all you needed?"
 
Agape shivered at his hands, they were a little cooler than her warm skin, but, it was more the touch itself that caused her to shiver. Agape let out a small breath she didn't know she had been holding as he lowered her zipper, she couldn't help the small gasp that escaped her lips as his hand ran up her spine. She almost didn't notice he spoke but took a moment to give a hesitant nod before turning back to him. Luckily she didn't need to hold the dress for it to stay up. Glancing at him from under her eyelashes she was still flushed, "I-I will go take the raining bath n-now." Agape stuttered clumsily but made no motion to move. It felt like she was glued to one place as her eyes trailed from his face down his chest till it reached his waist. She could only gulp, a part of her cursed herself knowing she shouldn't have walked towards his room for help.
 
As Agape turned back around to face him, her features flushed as she stammered out that she would be going on to take her bath - he nodded to acknowledge it but she remained there, stuck in the spot. Her gulp was audible and Daniel self consciously looked down at himself as she looked him over, her eyes traveling over him. He felt exposed again, but at least this time she was sharing some of those emotions too as he glanced back her way. She wasn't moving, and neither was he. "You know, I don't think you've seen my shower yet." He remarked after a few silent moments, his hands slipping down her shoulders; running over the dress before coming to a rest beside her own. He let one of his stay open for her to grab, but let left that decision up to her. His own shower was a bit larger with a few extra features than her own, he wouldn't call it remarkable but it was how the ship was designed so that the main quarters had a few extra amenities and a lot more space. "That is if you'd like to use it."
 
Agape's eyes snapped from his waist back to his face as he spoke. She felt like she might burn up into ash at any moment. "I-I have not.." Her words trailed off as his hands ran over her shoulders and down her dress to her hands. She took another small shaky breath as she glanced past him into his room. He was right she had never entered his room before this, not to mention she wasn't even sure she wanted to return to her room at this point. Her eyes moved back to his as he spoke. Her breaths were deep and her chest could be seen rising and falling with each shaky breath. "I-I w-would." Hesitant she lifted her hand and grabbed his giving a small squeeze to let him know she wanted to make that choice to follow him.
 
As Agape responded to him, letting him know that she was interested in seeing the rest of his room and using the shower he nodded; feeling her hand squeeze his own for a moment before he guided her inside. His own door shut behind her after a few moments, and he took that opportunity to glance back her way and offer a smile. Thankfully the darkness of the room hid a bit of his features flushing with color, as his lights were still off but when he neared the restroom he flicked the lights inside on before leading Agape inside. "It's a bit different than your own, but I can show you how to work it; it's still relatively simple." Daniel remarked, staying close to Agape as he glanced between his shower and her.

Inside she would notice that his shower was enclosed, a tub at the bottom with ample space and instead of a curtain it had two glass doors that had recesses in the walls to slide into. Daniel opened them up with his free hand before turning back to her. He found it hard to meet her eyes but he found solace glancing around her dress, but he had trouble deciding what to do for her. "There's a few extra heads that you can have the water come from, and different options for speed. It'd be a little hard to show you everything though.. Unless, I joined you." He went on, stumbling at the end as he searched for the right words. He was normally up for showering in the morning, but he was more than happy to make an exception in this case.
 
Agape glanced back at the door as it closed, she turned her gaze back to him and returned his smile though her hearts were thumping in her chest like drums. Agape glanced around his room before her eyes landed on his shower. It was larger than her own and had a lot more mechanisms than she had on her own. As her eyes scanned the area before her, her face managed to calm it's flush, but her hearts refused to still. It looked a little more complicated and she could almost laugh at Daniel calling it simple. "It is very different." Agape smiled a bit as she spoke.

She was still holding onto his hand tightly as though it kept her grounded. As he spoke she could feel his eyes on her but kept her own eyes on the shower as he explained. When he stumbled through his offer to join her she froze and her face turned from pink to a dark red in almost an instant as she turned to look at him. Daniel...showering with...with her. Agape could hear her hearts clear as day, and she gave a hesitant nod. "O-okay..t-that wo-would help." Agape stumbled over her own words unable to meet his eyes but unable to focus on any part of him, as her eyes shifted from his face to chest to waist and then to the wall and his chest again. She was worried if she focused too much she might actually start drooling at the immersive thought invading her mind. Had she actually managed to say that?
 
Daniel could only smile as she mentioned that it was very different, he actually had never showered in the other rooms before but he had at least seen them while doing a tour through the space when he first got familiar with the ship. His eyes managed to stay near her again as he watched her skin shift into a deeper shade of red, at least he wasn't the only one feeling a deeper sense of embarrassment from this. Daniel hadn't imagined he would be as forward tonight, especially preparing for the day they had tomorrow but he decided that he wouldn't worry about it too much as thankfully, he didn't seem alone in wanting to move forward.

When she gave him the go-ahead Daniel was in a bit of shock. He glanced over her features for any sign that he had misheard her, but the flush of color and her inability to meet his own eyes made it a lot clearer. He nodded as he couldn't find any other words, but it seemed like she may have missed it if she couldn't keep her eyes towards him. Daniel reached out for the controls first, turning the bath on and to a hot temperature - but at the moment only one of the heads inside of it were on. The others worked best when the glass was closed behind them, otherwise water would get all over the restroom. "Let me help you out of those." He spoke, his voice soft as he squeezed her hand once more before slipping out of her grasp. Daniel reached around and started to help her out of the rest of her dress, easing it to the floor before letting his hands wander back up towards her private garments. He hesitated there, hands wrapped around her now as he pressed his thumbs along the fabric.
 
Agape watched him reach for the controls taking another breath as he turned the bath on. Her ears were burning and she stared at the tile on the floor, trying to focus her sight on something. When he offered to help her she glanced at him from under her lashes and nodded, that was the most she could muster to do. If she spoke surely her voice would betray her, not that it wasn't obvious with how hard she was blushing. Though she was grateful she could see the tinge of color that graced his cheeks. Knowing he felt the same helped ease her racing hearts if only a bit.

For the first time in her life, Agape had the urge to cover herself when he helped her slip out of her dress. Left only in her undergarments she had felt a lot more conscious than she knew capable. Agape fought the urge to cover up, lifting her feet out of the dress piled on the floor and taking a step closer to him as his arms wrapped around her to unfasten her garments. In just her garments her blush could be seen having spread to her shoulders, turning them a little red in color. Seeing him hesitate she looked up at him and helped him undo her garments placing them neatly to the side. Now bare-skinned her eyes looked at the wall, she didn't think she could bear his eyes on her.

Agape brought her hands to her chest where her heart was and glanced at the bath, "I-I will get in f-first." She gulped again and turned from him quickly moving to climb in the bath and hide under the water as though it might help.
 
As Agape unfastened the rest of her undergarments Daniel glanced away briefly, seeing the blush that crossed her features and spread all the way down to her shoulders made him realize just how this was affecting her. When she finished and set them aside he looked her over, listening as she mentioned that she would get in first. Daniel managed a nod before a small gulp as he watched her get inside, his eyes stuck on her frame for a few moments before she managed to sneak into the water. The steam wasn't quite at the right level to stop his sight though, maybe if he closed the glass for her and left it there she would have some privacy.. But that wasn't what he was looking forward to.

After a few moments hesitation Daniel reached to his own waist and with a quick pull managed to strip down to bare skin as well, entering the shower after another moment to collect himself before quickly pressing a button on the control console that closed the glass behind him. With that, the steam built up rather quickly as it created a small shield that prevented it from escaping to the rest of the room. It was built to heat up quickly and use the steam to help clear pores, but what he was hoping to entertain her was the rest of the features. With another few button presses a nozzle in the center sprayed toward their torsos and another opposite the first turned on as well to spray Agape from behind. Daniel was content with watching her react, his eyes straining to drink in every inch of her now that it was open to the air.
 
Agape could feel his eyes on her as she climbed under the water. The warmth of the water welcomed her and she was happy for it, it helped her relax a bit given the situation. That was until she stole a glance just as Daniel stripped down. Agape quickly turned her gaze elsewhere trying to gather her sense before he walked into the shower. Agape didn't know what to expect when she had accepted his request. She surely didn't expect it to keep her heart racing as it was. She watched as the door closed looking at the edges of it to see when it had moved from and how just before realizing that it really was just her and Daniel now. Not that anyone had been there before, but this helped the thought settle into her mind.

Her head turned as she watched the stem appear coating the door. She reached a hand out to run her fingers along the door leaving a wet trail of fingerprints in its wake. She hadn't noticed him pressed the button but yelped a little before jumping as the water sprayed her in all directions, it had startled her and she turned looking at him. He was staring at her intently, and she couldn't help but do the same as her eyes drifted from his face to take in the rest of his features. For now, it seemed she had a permanent flush imprinted on her face. She pulled her gaze up managing to bring her emerald orbs to glance in his eyes. Was it the steam or their proximity that was making it hotter?
 
Daniel smiled as he watched Agape play with the steam on the glass, admiring her curiosity as she left fingerprints in her wake. It was a nice sight to admire as her attention shifted back towards him, her features flushing with even more color - something he thought impossible for sure until he watched as she started to look over him as well. His heart beat a bit faster and his body tensed under her gaze, but as she looked back up and met his eyes he felt a little better. Letting out a breath he didn't know he was holding Daniel started idly toying with some of the features, the nozzles shifting to different spreads and patterns for the water but as he let it set on one meant to cover a wide-area he took another step closer towards Agape.

"If you want to, try it out you may. Otherwise we should really make sure you get clean." He said under his breath, but they were more than close enough for her to hear him. She would have to get past him to mess with the controls, but Daniel rested a hand along her waist and shifted his shoulders to one side to allow her to move past him if she tried.
 
Her sight flicked up to the water as it changed patterns, awe evident in her eyes as she watched it. When it stopped on one setting she brought her gaze back down only to see him take a step towards her. She peered past him to the controls, her hands were pressed to her chest as she thought. Agape wanted to mess with the controls, test them out, and see what each did. but, passing him was another feat entirely she didn't even think she could manage that without turning into a cloud of smoke from the heat in her face. She lifted a hand to brush a strand of wet hair that clung to her face away as she stared at him, before dropping it back to her chest. Luckily she managed to keep her gaze on his face.

Unable to resist the overwhelming curiosity that made most of her personality she moved closer to him and turned to face him so she could slide past him carefully. Being cautious she reached out to place a hand on his chest watching her feet as she shuffled past so she wouldn't fall though she tried to ignore it as she brushed against him. She was grateful when she made it past without falling looking excitedly at the many buttons before her.
 
Daniel watched as the inner conflict showed on her features, her eyes on the controls showed some form of curiosity but he wasn't going to pressure her into messing with them unless she showed the urge to do so. When she started to move towards him he did his best to stand firm, acting as a brace when she put her hand against his chest and made her way over. When she settled down on the other side Daniel turned back towards her, his gaze now on her backside as his eyes traveled downwards for a moment before finding their way back up.

When she started to look towards the buttons he leaned against her, his torso now pressed against her back as he pointed out the controls. "You can change the way they spray here like I just did," He started, pointing out one of the buttons before moving on. "This is how you determine how many are active, you just keep pressing and more will turn on and if you hold it they'll all turn off." He repeated again, moving on to another. "This one plays with lights. I haven't really used it but it works best when the lights to the room are off, which conveniently you can control by pressing there." Daniel went on, pointing to the last button in the corner. While he didn't explain it, heat was managed very similarly to her own with a manual control that can be moved to one's liking.

As Daniel finished explaining he stayed near, his hand still on her waist as he remained pressed against her. His eyes however were still helping her with the controls, but with the heat building and her so close he could imagine just how red they were becoming. Maybe it would be best with the lights off.
 
Agape tensed when she felt his torso against her, her face slowly began to burn again, having faded with the growth of her curiosity. "Mwari." Once again she mumbled asking her goddess for help. Agape tried her best to focus on his words as he explained but was all too conscious of how close he was to her. She couldn't bring herself to face him, her ears were peeking through the sides of her hair as red as her burning face. If it was possible she might have started steaming herself.

The only thing she could seem to recall from his explanation was where the buttons were. She pressed the last button in the corner since that was the only or she could remember and the last he mentioned. When the lights turned off she looked around taking a step back leaning further into Daniel. "I-it's dar-dark." She hadn't realized she had pressed the light button but she surely wouldn't be able to find it now. She turned around forgetting she was so close to Daniel and bumped into his chest.
 
As Agape tensed against him Daniel remained firm, pressed to her as he was he could feel the small shudders that she had as she responded to how close he was to her. He was enjoying the proximity when she pressed the light button, and with a flicker the lights went off and Daniel leaned back for a moment before Agape turned around and bumped against him.

Daniel instinctively reached out to grab her, pulling her close and pressing her against him to avoid any mishap of her falling backwards with the slick flooring. "Yes it's dark, but you have to be more careful than that." He let out with a small laugh, his arms now wrapped around her he had but a moment before his breath caught as his started to register just how she felt pressed against him. Her chest against his warmed him more than the water did, and he couldn't help but keep her pressed against him; but after a few moments of catching his breath his grip relented. "Did, did you want some kind of light on?" He asked, he still had a good idea where his controls were and could possibly mess around with some of the colored options.
 
It took a moment for her to register how close they were, but as she felt the rumbled in his chest from laughter she paused. He was close, very close, but she made no step to move out of his arms. Partially because she was afraid of falling, but also because she didn't want to. She could hear his heart and his quickened breaths. Agape could also hear her ow and leaned into him feeling a bit comforted in the darkness. She lifted her arms to wrap around him so she could keep steady and nodded in response to his question. Though the lack of light helped quell her burning face, she figured they would need light to move. They still needed to finish bathing and get some type of rest before the morning. At this rate, there were bound not to sleep at all.
 
When Agape leaned back into him Daniel bit his lip, feeling her press against him that way threw off a lot of his senses and got his blood rushing everywhere as his heart rate quickened. As her arms wrapped around his neck he glanced down in the darkness, his eyes weren't perfect for it but he could still make out the outline of her face as she nodded along to his question. With her wrapped around him like this however it made it a bit more difficult to move, so with a few careful steps forward he pressed her up against the wall of the shower; each step slow so that he could make sure she didn't fumble. He could feel everything about her then, one of his hands feeling her skin press back against the pressure of the wall; his own torso and lower region meeting hers as his free hand lowered to the controls. After a few moments he pressed a familiar button, turning on a softer red light, pressing it again turned it green, and he did it again and got a soft blue that reminded him of Agape's other form. He left the light there before focusing again on Agape, seeing just how she was doing.
 
Agape hadn't expected him to move, she took careful steps as he moved, holding his neck a bit tighter. When he back hit the shower wall even though it couldn't be seen her face bloomed a red color. Now that she was stuck between the wall and Daniel she was all too aware of how their bodies pressed together. For a moment she thought holding her breath might help, she pressed her lips together and tried to shift focus just as the light turned soft red. Realizing that the wouldn't help she opened her mouth. The water made his skin seem smoother than usual and matted her hair to her face. She took deep shallow breaths staring at his chest in the light trying to shake the thoughts that invaded her mind her face redder than she thought it could be. But, she allowed her hands to slip from around his neck and trail down to his chest and torso. She had never really noticed how strong he looked, she quickly brought her hands back up to his chest and when he settled on the blue light she was staring off to the side still not able to look him in the face. Their closeness made the pit of her stomach burn and her hearts thump nearly out of her chest.
 
Daniel felt the water from the shower head hit him square on being that close to one side, but with his head angled low to see Agape and how close she was it hardly registered for his attention. What did take his attention were her hands as they ran over his chest and torso, each moment making him shudder with further anticipation as her fingers slid through the water that now coated the both of them.

In the pale blue light he could still make out Agape's blush, even when she moved her head towards one side so that he could hardly see her face. With his job done with the controls his hands slipped back to her sides, running along her waist down to her hips, an errant hand slipping back around her before running down her thigh. She was slick from the shower and Daniel knew that he could lose track of time enjoying her presence with him very quickly, but after a few moments he took a deep breath and allowed the hand that was traveling more to leave her frame and reach for his own shampoo. With an audible click he popped the top off, and as he moved his other hand he squirted a bit out before closing it up and setting it down.

With a small grin Daniel reached up and started running his fingers through Agape's hair, working the shampoo in wordlessly; taking a half step back to give her a little room away from the shower wall to stretch and move as needed.
 
Agape noted his shudders and bite her lip until she brought her hands up. As his hands ran over her own body it couldn't help but do the same, she closed her eyes and bit her lip to keep herself in check. She took deep shaky breaths as his hands trailed down her sides and down to her hips, each breath made her chest rise and fall. Agape opened her eyes hearing the click and watched his hands reached for something before she saw him squeeze it into his hands.

Her gaze lifted to look at his face as he lathered her hair taking a step back from her. A part of her was disappointed just a little, but she soon flushed realizing she had wanted him to keep his hands on her. Her eyes had registered both her disappointment and surprised at her own thoughts as she looked at him. Though she was starting to get distracted by his fingers working through her hair, Agape closed her eyes leaning against the wall enjoying the soothing feeling. After a moment she opened her eyes again and lifted her hands off his chest holding it out palm facing upwards.

"I want the hair soap to clean Daniel's hair too." She was still blushing and it was clear the was trying hard not to let their bare-skinned closeness affect her, but it was nonetheless.
