ruffians | the punchline to the joke is asking "someone save us"

[Maxxie could do this for maybe an hour. He's just craving closeness with Terry right now and he probably won't want to let go at all for a few days.]

[That's more than fine with Terry, he has a desperate need to be close to Maxxie at the best of times, and that feeling is in overdrive right now. Tangling a leg with one of Maxxie's to get even more points of contact between them.]

[He does that for a long time, losing track of time completely after a while. It's ages before he pulls away far enough to say something and break the relative silence.]

We should probably shower.

[Ugh. But then he has to get up. Terry hroans in complaint, but he rolls away to get up and waits for Maxxie before he goes to the bathroom to get clean.]

[Maxxie follows him up, taking his hand and starting out the door towards the bathroom. The hot water will be comforting and it's nice to get up and move around a little.]

[Terry potters around while he waits for the water to heat up, mostly looking for shaving cream and his non-face razor. If he's gonna shave finally, he might as well do all of it.]

[Goods located, he holds them up and looks at Maxxie with a raised eyebrow.]

So is this relationship gonna be able to handle you seeing me shave my balls or should I wait until you're done?

[Maxxie thinks about that for a moment, eyes narrowing at Terry as he tries to review the scenario in his head. He finally sighs.]

Maybe you could wait til I'm drying my hair.

[Terry nods and puts those aside when he steps in and reaches for the shower gel instead. He doesn't need to do a lot of actual cleaning really, but he's very eager to kiss Maxxie again as soon as his face is close enough.]

[Maxxie grins as he kisses Terry back, humming happily and putting his hands on Terry's hips. He's happy to do this for a little bit before he starts washing his hair.]

[Terry hums and drapes his arms over Maxxie's shoulders, careful to keep a grip on the bottle in his hand so he doesn't drop it, but otherwise totally focused on the excellent man in front of him and how good it feels to be able to kiss him again.]

[Maxxie lets that distract him for a couple minutes and then he pulls away, giving Terry a final brief kiss before he turns to find the shampoo. It is very important that he cleans his hair.]

[Terry reaches for the body wash and deals with that whole situation first. His hair doesn't really need to be washed anyway, so he's just gonna focus on cleaning up his front here.]

[Maxxie scrubs and rinses his hair, watching Terry idly as he goes and then reaching out for the body wash.]

Here, turn around and I'll do your back.

[Now there's a great idea. Terry smiles brightly and hands off the shower gel to Maxxie and turns around.]

[Maxxie lathers up some gel and puts both hands on Terry's back, rubbing gentle circles over his shoulder blades and neck, occasionally running his hands down Terry's upper arms before going back and getting a little lower. He's just enjoying putting his hands on him for now, indulging in it.]

[Terry sighs happily and hangs his head, eyes falling closed while he stands and enjoys the feeling of Maxxie's hands on him. He's missed this. Every little thing is something else he's missed so much he can't stand it, and he's so happy to have this back he almost doesn't feel like himself.]

[Maxxie finishes up with his hands on Terry's hips, but he slips them around his waist and hugs him from behind, pressing a kiss to the side of Terry's face.]

Feels like you've got a few knots back there.

"A few."

[Terry lets out an amused breath and leans back against Maxxie, resting his hands on Maxxie's forearms.]

Luci tried to give me a massage and it felt like torture.

You want me to try?

[He noses at the side of Terry's face affectionately.]

It'll still hurt but I'll go slow and we can make out afterwards.

What if we just skip straight to the making out?

[It's gonna hurt so much he doesn't want that!!!]

Ter, you're gonna hurt yourself.

I'll be fine.

No you won't, you'll fuck up your back.

[Trust him he's a dancer.]

[Anyway he's pulling away to get the conditioner now, since he's gotta be good to his hair and all that.]

[Well now this is awful on two counts and Terry turns around to frown at Maxxie.]

It's gonna hurt a lot though.

[Maxxie shakes his head with a soft smile.]

Not as much as it'll hurt if you seriously pull or tear something 'cause your muscles are all too tight.
