Work Text:
Ryo returned home tired from work and slowly walked toward Louis, his expression tired and his hands shaking. Louis approached Ryo and hugged him, the samurai leaning his head on his shoulder, feeling like he was finally in a safe haven where he could let go of his defenses and show himself vulnerable.
Louis gave Ryo a long, intimate kiss, then took his hand and led him to the bathroom. He stripped him of his clothes, seeing that Ryo was so tired he couldn't even remove the jacket he was wearing.
He removed his clothes and underwear before immersing him in the warm water of the bathtub and began massaging his body with his fingertips. He moved his fingertips to touch the muscles, the amber-colored skin, and then the long black hair.
He continued massaging until the muscles completely relaxed and a small sigh of exhaustion and pleasure escaped Ryo's mouth.
Once out of the bathroom, Louis carried Ryo straight to their bedroom, imagining that Ryo needed sleep, not just a relaxing bath.
And when he rested Ryo's head on his chest, he felt his partner begin to purr, and he knew he was finally relaxing, the tiredness slipping from his limbs. He ran a hand through his long black hair and began to caress it with his fingers, then kissed his forehead and neck, while his hand moved down his back, slowly moving along his spine.
Louis wrapped his arms around Ryo, feeling that purr become like a lullaby.
In the privacy of their room, they closed their eyes and both fell asleep, leaving behind the daily grind and the world outside.
