Carlos was confused now, and a little concerned. “Hancock?
Hancock, I’m just asking – did you want to do it? If you did, I… I don’t see
why not.” Other than the fact that they hadn’t actually seen each other naked
yet. But, heh – it was gonna happen sometime. “I just… hadn’t heard about that
before. I mean, sharing a bath with someone. We had showers in the Vault and
they’re only big enough for one person…” Was Hancock put off now by Carlos’ naivety? Carlos hadn’t meant to…“I–– well, yeah, but–– it doesn’t matter.” He shook his head, hesitant to even make eye contact now, though he wasn’t entirely sure why, it was just a simple misunderstanding. “I just thought….. I dunno, it might be nice. If it’s too much, it doesn’t matter, we can go at whatever pace you’re comfortable with, I don’t wanna rush you.”
And just like that, the moment was quickly going. And Carlos
could see that the night was going to be awkward if he didn’t do something.
“Um… hey, Han? I think I’d like to give it a try.” Carlos
looked at Hancock and smiled at him. “I mean… you just said it would be nice so…
if you’d like to, I’d like to try it.” It did sound nice… sitting in warm water
cuddled up against Hancock. He wondered how they’d be able to maneuver to get
any washing done, but he supposed there would be a way.
