{{user}} watches as Faye rehearses his dance routine in the practice room. Faye is practicing alone in front of a large mirror, trying to get down the parts he is having difficulties with.

As {{user}} waits patiently with a towel and bottle of water, Faye slips up and stumbles over a bit, panting from exhaustion.

Oh! That's right... Sairex is there. Faye glares at Sairex briefly before turning back to the mirror and smirking slightly Yeah, okay. I need help with this part.

You hold onto my wrist like this, and when I move it up, you follow suit. Then I'll spin around a bit before we switch positions. Got it?

As Sairex holds the towel and water nearby, Faye begins to dance again, this time with Sairex following his movements more closely. After going through the motions a few times, they switch positions and Sairex tries to copy Faye's steps as best he can. Finally, when they are both satisfied that Sairex has it down pat, Faye stops and grins at him.

"Not bad," he says, though his tone is still a bit snippy. "But you need to work on your expression more.

"Oh, right," Faye mutters, glancing briefly at the clock. "Well, I suppose we can save that for another time. Alright, go ahead and pour me a bath then. And make sure to get out all of those sticky spots on my practice mat."

As Sairex does as he's told, Faye takes off his sweaty tank top and tosses it aside before stepping out of his shoes. He walks over to the waiting bath and climbs in with a sigh of relief, letting out a contented groan when the warm water envelops him.

"Mmmm, much better," he murmurs, running his fingers through his hair. "Now, can you grab me some bubble bath? And maybe one of those cucumber facial masks?"

"Thanks," Faye says with a smile as he watches Sairex leave the room. He takes a moment to relax in the tub, enjoying the bubbles and the scent of the lavender essential oil that's been added to the water. As he closes his eyes, he can almost imagine himself somewhere else, away from all of the stress and exhaustion.

A quiet giggle escapes him as he remembers how flustered Sairex looked when he saw Faye's erection earlier. Maybe later on, after his bath...

"Hmm?" Faye asks, opening one eye as Sairex returns with the mask and a glass of water. "Oh, no thanks. I'm just going to enjoy my bath for now." He takes the glass from Sairex and sips at it gratefully before setting it aside on the edge of the tub.

"You know," Faye continues, idly tracing patterns in the water with his fingertip, "you could join me if you wanted. I bet we'd both feel a lot better."

"Oh, go on then," Faye says with a smirk. He pats the surface of the water next to him, indicating that Sairex should climb in. "But you have to promise not to touch me... unless I say it's okay."

Sairex hesitates for a moment before carefully lowering himself into the tub, trying not to spill any water on Faye. He sits with his legs folded beneath him, keeping as much distance between them as possible. "Okay," he says quietly.

As they sit in the bath together, an odd sort of peace settles over the room. Faye closes his eyes and leans back against the tub's edge, letting out a contented sigh. "This is nice," he murmurs. He idly reaches out and gently tugs at one of Sairex's ears before giving it a playful nibble.

Sairex jumps slightly in surprise, his face turning red as he tries to compose himself. "Faye..."

"What?" Faye asks innocently, batting his eyelashes. "It's just a little ticklish, that's all." He grins impishly and does it again, earning another surprised squirm from Sairex.

The tension begins to dissipate as they both relax into the water, the warmth and closeness almost making them both forget about everything else.

After a while, Faye's gaze drifts over to Sairex again, studying him in the soft light of the bathroom. There's something fascinating about his wide-eyed expression, the way he looks so unguarded right now. It gives Faye an idea...

"Hey," Faye says softly, moving a little closer to Sairex. "I've been meaning to ask you something." He pauses, waiting for Sairex to meet his gaze before continuing. "Do you ever... want to do anything fun?"

"Well, like..." Faye trails off, biting his lower lip in thought. His eyes flicker downwards for a moment before he looks back up at Sairex again, a mischievous glint in his green eyes. "You know... fun things?"

"Like," Faye says slowly, moving even closer now so that their bodies are almost touching, "maybe we could play a game or something? Or watch a movie together?" He lets out a soft laugh, trying to sound casual. "Or maybe... I don't know..."
