Jakob couldn't help to complain a little. It had been a hard day for them both. He didn't blame Kieran, if he had wanted a bath he should have moved when he had the chance. Instead, his thoughts had been otherwise occupied. It took a few minutes before Kieran's next text came through. He could practically hear the man's voice as he teased him further. "Mm-hmm...I can really the sympathy." he teased again. Smiling to himself Jakob returned the menu to the night stand. There was nothing calling out to him, so it would appear that he'd have to order out instead. But first, he wanted a bath.

Leaving his phone on the bed, Jakob slipped down to the floor and walked over to the bathroom. There he flipped on the light switch and looked over the basic bathtub. It was pretty standard as far as tubs went, but it would have to do. It took him a moment to find the stopper and set the water to his liking. After that, he took one of the little sample bottles of bubble bath and poured it into the water. With that task done, Jakob walked back to the bed to see if he had any text. When he saw that he had none, he started writing out another one. "Alright, I've got the tub filling. Once I'm clean, then I'll think about dinner....Just wish I knew what I wanted. Have you decided on what you're going to eat?" he text once more. While he waited for his response, got up once more to make sure he didn't flood the bathroom.

⋮ ۩ ) • • • Kieran wasn't much of a bubble bath person. He merely wanted to enjoy a hot bath to relieve the stress and tension of the day. Kieran waited while the tub filled. He heard his phone go off again. Kieran moved across the room as he picked it up from the counter. He opened the new text while reading it. Kirean was indeed hardly sympathetic. After all, he wasn't entirely as dirty as Miguel though close to feeling it.

He went about gathering a towel and washcloth from a shelf beside the tub. Kieran set the towel beside the tub along with the washcloth. He checked on the water seeing it was full. Kieran turned off the water as he set the phone on the towel. He went about climbing into the tub. Kieran ducked down beneath the water as he wet his hair. He came back up running his hands over his face.

Kirean had heard his phone go off again. He grabbed the wash cloth as he dried his hands off. Kieran grabbed his phone as he relaxed against the tub. He read Miguel's text, smiling to himself. Taking your advice as well, in the tub. Kieran teased as he went about pulling open his camera on his phone. He angled his phone so he could take a picture of himself. Kieran snapped a quick photo before sending it to Miguel. As for food, I ordered some Chinese food for Addy and I… He responded back as he set the phone back down.

Jakob wasn't a huge fan of bubble baths, but sometimes they helped. Especially after everything they did today on top of riding the train. It was better that he get himself clean before he settled down too much. After sending his text, Jakob moved back into the bathroom to find that the tub had filled quite a bit and was filling even more with bubbles. He was going to let the tub fill just a little more before turning off the water.

Coming back to the bed, he heard his phone buzz with a new message. Jakob smiled as he read the males words. Before he could reply, it buzzed again as he received a photo. There he could see Kieran sitting in the very tub he spoke of. He felt his cheeks warm slightly. "Ooh sexy 😘" he replied. Taking his phone, Jakob moved back to the bathroom. This time the tub was full and the suds piled high. Setting his phone on the counter, Jakob moved to turn off the water. He then grabbed a washcloth and towel from the rack above the toilet. Hearing his phone again, Jakob picked it up to see the males next message. The thought of Chinese food sounded really good. He wondered if there was any place good around here that he could from. "That actually sounds really good. I might have to see if there's a place still open near here." he replied.

Setting his phone down for a moment, Jakob stripped away all his clothes, leaving them on the floor in a soft pile. Kieran's photo was pretty good, but he wanted to up the ante a little. Pulling himself up on to the counter, he posed a little with his back to the mirror. He smiled as he angled the camera slightly, so that Kieran could fully admire his handy work and then some. A moment he took the shot and sent it over to Kiera with a little heart emoji. Sliding off the counter, Jakob moved across the room to the tub and sank into his mountain of foam. The water was a perfect temperature and the smell of the suds were relaxing. Jakob set his phone on the side of the tub as he dipped beneath the water, wetting his hair and allowing his mind to clear. He stayed under for a few moments before surfacing with a soft gasp. He washed away the soap from his face and opened his eyes. He really wished Kieran were here.

⋮ ۩ ) • • • Sitting there, Kieran relaxed waiting for Miguel's reply. He didn't have to wait long for his response. Kieran wished Miguel was there with him as well. He was growing used to him being around. Kieran felt needy but didn't want to be too clingy. He accepted they'd have to part for a while though he didn't know how long.

It wasn't long before Miguel texted him again. Kieran hadn't expected a picture in return but he wasn't complaining. Mm, such a naughty boy, little ******** tease.. He texted back as he set his phone down. Kieran grabbed the wash cloth from the side of the tub.

He reached out grabbing a bar of soap. Kieran smelled it, scenting it was a little floral. At the moment it was better than nothing. He went about rubbing the bar of soap and wash cloth be together to make suds. Kieran set the bar of soap down then went about washing himself off.

They had been spending quite a bit of time together the last couple of days. It had been nice getting to sleep in Kieran's bed, seeing him there when he woke up in the morning, and going on a date. He hoped once all this was over they would be able to meet up again. But for he understood that it might be awhile. Jakob was also feeling a little needy even though it hadn't been that long since they were last together. He took it as a sign of just being stressed. He'd feel better when he was clean, fed, and had a good night's rest.

As he sat there soaking, his phone buzzed once more with a new message from Kieran. He blushed and smiled at his words. "Like you're one to talk." he teased back. Sighing, Jakob really wished Kieran were here. Teasing each other over text was nice, but he missed being held and kissed by him as well. Setting his phone back on the side of the tub, Jakob scooped up a handful of suds and ran them through his hair. He didn't care that it wasn't technically meant for his hair, but it was already there and his hair felt gross. Jakob closed his eyes as he took his time, scrubbing lightly as he awaited Kieran's next text.

⋮ ۩ ) • • • While he waited for Miguel's next text, Kieran continued washing his body. He wasn't too concerned with his hair. Kieran merely wanted a quick bath and a wash then get out. He had no use for sitting in the tub by himself. Kieran finished washing off his body. He grabbed his phone as he checked his text. Kieran laughed softly, But of course. I don't deny that… Though you clearly enjoyed it. He teased Miguel in return.

Kirean set his phone down as he leaned forward to pull the plug on the tub. He could feel the water cooling down. Kieran waited for the water to drain halfway before standing. He grabbed his towel as he dried himself off. Kieran wrapped the towel around his waist as he stepped out of the tub. He grabbed his phone heading back to the bedroom. Kieran had to find some clothes after all he wasn't going to put on his dirty ones.

Sitting alone in the tub was a little boring. Still, he was happy that he was able to continue to talk to Kieran like this. After teasing him, he moved to wash his hair, giving his scalp a nice massage. Beside him he heard his phone go off, knowing it to likely be another teasing message from Kieran. Dipping his head beneath the water, he rinsed his hair as best he could. He was likely going to have to rinse it again. But for the moment he didn't care. Coming back up, he wiped his hands dry and picked up his phone. Jakob laughed at the males teasing words. "Just don't want you forgetting what I look like since it might be awhile before we can meet up." he typed with a smirk.

Jakob continued to wash himself as well. The bath was getting a little cool and the suds were starting to disappear. Picking up his wash cloth and soap, Jakob started to wash his body. He took his time to really clean himself, scrubbing away the dirt, sweat, and grime. When he was finished leaned towards the faucet to give his hair one more rinse. He was too lazy to stand up and use the shower, so this would have to do. When he was finished, he pulled the plug and carefully stood up. What suds remained, clung to his arms and abdomen. Annoyed he knew he would have to shower.

Jakob fiddled with the knobs and turned on the spray. The suds instantly dissolved and ran down his limbs. He turned a few times to make sure they were all off as well as giving his hair one more rinse. Once he was satisfied, he turned the water off once more and stepped out of the tub. He stood there dripping a few moments as he gathered his phone and towel. Jakob gave himself a good pat down before wrapping it around his waist. He made his way back into his room and sat on the edge of the bed. "So how long do you think you'll be staying with Addy?" he asked curiously.

 

[xDarkWinterx]

⋮ ۩ ) • • • Indeed it would probably be a while before they saw each other again. Kieran didn't know for how long though. He knew they could call and text but it simply wasn't the same. Kieran knew tomorrow he'd have to go see Abel. He didn't know what to expect. Kirean worried about Miguel. They needed to find out who attacked Abel and credited Miguel for it.

Returning back to the guest room, Kieran set his phone down on the dresser. He opened the top drawer as he pulled out a pair of black sweats. Kieran pulled his towel off as he threw it in the nearby hamper. He tugged the pants on as he tied the strings.

Kieran took his phone as he left to head back through the house. He went to check on Addy while he waited for a response from Miguel. Going upstairs, he went to Addy's bedroom. Kieran peeked in to see she was sitting in her bedroom on her bed playing with her phone. He stopped in the doorway, "I ordered food, if you get hungry…it should be here shortly." Kirean spoke toward her, watching as she looked up at him.

Addy looked up from her phone as she heard Kieran's voice. She was still annoyed but not so much. There wasn't much she could stress about right now until the morning. Addy nodded at his words, she hadn't eaten all day so her stomach grumbled at the thought. "Okay…Let me know when it's here." She replied, turning her attention back to her phone.

Kirean listened as Addy spoke before ignoring him once again. He turned away from her room to head back downstairs. Kirean went into the living room as he took a seat on the couch. He had heard his phone go off a while ago but hadn't checked it. Kieran pulled his phone from his pocket and opened up the texts from Miguel.

He read the texts as he sighed to himself. I don't know right now, I have to go check the house tomorrow though it's probably best to stay here or at least away from the house… Kieran responded to Miguel's text. He wasn't excited by staying at Addy's. Kirean knew he could always seek out other housing arrangements but for now it was too late in the evening.

The various ways of technology did make things easier. Though he wondered for just how long he might be able to continue calling and texting Kieran like this. He worried his phone might be tracked, or worse that someone could be reading their messages. The very thought was both worrisome and embarrassing. He didn't need Cornelius or some guy he hired reading his private messages. He wondered if he might just get a whole new phone instead. Start from scratch, a new phone, a new number, everything. Oh, but sounded like such a pain in the a**. Would Cornelius really go to such extremes? He wondered.

When he finished rinsing off, Jakob moved back into the bedroom and sat at the edge of the bed. God, how he wished Kieran was here. He wanted to just lay in his arms and pretend the last several hours were just some hideous nightmare. After texting the man, Jakob dragged his suitcase closer. Laying it flat on the floor, he dug out one of Kieran's shirts that he had yet to return as well as a pair of dark grey sweats. He dried himself a bit more thoroughly before tossing the towel aside and slipping the shirt over his head. After pulling on his pants, Jakob closed his luggage and set it aside. He then crawled back up to the head of the bed.

Kieran still had not texted him back yet and it was getting late. If he didn't make a decision on his dinner soon, he wouldn't have too many choices left. Reluctantly, he opened up a food app and scrolled the various options available to him. Many of the listings were the same wash and repeat chain fast food options. It wasn't something he was exactly thrilled about, but he wasn't sure he had much of a choice. Jakob continued to scroll when at last his phone vibrated in his hand. Switching back to his messages he read the males words. "You're probably right. You and Addy can keep each other company until things calm down." he replied. Jakob understood it was a necessity that Kieran not go home. However, he was still jealous Addy could at least spend time with him. He sighed softly and returned to his food options, soon settling on an order of nuggets and fries from McDonald's.

⋮ ۩ ) • • • Kirean wasn't excited about being here with Addy. He wished he was with Miguel as well. Kieran relaxed on the couch as he sat there. He scrolled through a few things on his phone while he waited for a reply from Miguel. It wasn't long as he figured Miguel had been taking a bath and well to clean himself off from earlier.

Reading Miguel's text, he was rather annoyed by his words. As if it was his fault that he was here with Addy. He didn't want to say it but he blamed Miguel in his own way. If they never got together then he could simply push him aside. Kirean didn't respond to Miguel's text. He was rather put off by them. Kieran knew he'd say something to hurt Miguel if he did.

 

[Pure Acid Dreamer]

Jakob knew that Kieran probably was not happy to be staying with Addy. But it was better to be with her than sitting back in Abel's house just waiting for someone to come and finish the job. After sending out his text, Jakob awaited the males next reply. He spent the time he was given to order some fast food. It wasn't what he wanted but it would have to do. He couldn't sit up here all night going hungry. A part of him wished that he had stopped by a store or something to buy a few snacks. Perhaps in the morning that could be something he did. It would be be better than sitting here worrying.

As the minutes ticked by he still had not received any sort of message from Kieran. He thought about texting him again, but wasn't sure if it would make him come off as clingy. He lied to himself that perhaps his dinner arrived early and he was eating. Turning his phone over, Jakob leaned towards the night stand to pick up the remote and turned on the television. He clicked through a few of the channels before setting on the nightly news. Jakob watched mindlessly as the two anchors chatted about the on-goings in the world as well as the weather. By the time they went to commercial, he peaked curiously knowing that nothing was there.

 

[xDarkWinterx]

⋮ ۩ ) • • • The food hadn't come yet but he merely was annoyed. He didn't want to talk to Miguel right now even though he was the only one he wanted to. Kieran soon heard the doorbell ring. He stood from the couch not bothering with his phone. Kieran went to answer the door. He thanked the delivery driver for his food as he took it. Kieran shut the door as he locked the door behind him. He took the bag of food as he went upstairs to Addy's bedroom. Kieran hardly cared about sitting at a kitchen table. He knew Addy wouldn't care much either.

As he reached the top of the steps, Kirean could hear the television in Addy's bedroom. He entered the bedroom, setting the bag of food on the bed. Kieran took a seat beside her on the bed. He watched as she attacked the bag excited by seeing her favorite Chinese food. Kieran waited watching the television as Addy went about gathering the food she knew Kieran bought for her.

It didn't take long before Addy had gathered her food and started eating. Kieran grabbed his food though he wasn't hungry enough to really want it. He sat there picking at his food as they sat in silence watching the television.

 

[Pure Acid Dreamer]

Time moved slowly as it seemed less and less likely that Kieran was going to text him back. He didn't understand why he was ignoring him all of a sudden. What could he have possibly said or done to make him angry. He continued to lay there as the anchors went on to discuss the woes of Eastern Europe. It was all just noise as he barely paid it any mind.

It was another fifteen minutes before his phone made any noise. Jakob flipped it over, hoping it to be a message from Kieran. Instead it was only a message confirming that his order had arrived. Jakob sat up curiously. Had hadn't heard anyone knock. He wondered if he would have to go downstairs. He started to looked around the room to see what he had thrown his socks and shoes when there was a gentle rapping at the door. He slipped off his bed and walked over to the door. Before answering, Jakob peaked through the peep hole to see someone holding an oversized bag with the same name as the food app spread across the front of it. Jakob stepped back to unlock the door and opened it just enough to take his food. He quietly thanked the man before shutting his door once more and relocking it.

Coming back to his bed, he left the bag on the table as he was no longer hungry. Jakob hauled himself up onto the bed and pulled back the covers. Muting the television, he turned to his side and tried to sleep. It had been a long day and he was exhausted. Perhaps Kieran would be in a better mood once he knew for certain Abel would make it through the night.

⋮ ۩ ) • • • While they sat there, Addy had finished her food. Kieran had barely eaten his own. Addy had thanked Kirean as he went about gathering the trash once they were finished. He left her room and went downstairs. Kieran threw away more than half of his food. He turned out the lights downstairs and grabbed his phone from the couch. Kieran returned back to the guest room as he pulled back the covers on the bed. He laid down, setting his phone on the bedside table. Kieran wasn't tired but he wasn't in the mood to do anything else.

 

[Pure Acid Dreamer]

Lying beneath the covers Jakob tossed and turned until sleep eventually found him. The night felt longer than it should have been, waking up every few hours. By morning he was hungry, cranky, and tired. Turning over on to his stomach, he reached for his phone only to find it had died sometime in the night. Tossing back the covers, Jakob shuffled towards his luggage and fished around until he came upon his charging cable. Plugging it into the wall, he then plugged in his phone and left it on the table. Jakob wasn't much in the mood for dealing with anyone just yet, it was far too early for human interaction. He snatched the bag of cold food from the table and moved back into bed.

Settling back beneath the blankets, he grabbed the remote from the night stand and switched over to morning cartoons. He didn't care how immature it seemed. He was by himself and having a bad morning. Ignoring the cold fries altogether, Jakob pulled the nuggets out of the bag. They were horribly cold and chewy, but for the moment it was fine. It him all of ten minutes to inhale his food. It wasn't enough. He remembered being told that there was a complementary breakfast downstairs. Maybe if he was lucky it wouldn't be so crowded. Looking towards the clock he saw he was half past seven. Gathering his trash and room key, Jakob swung his legs over the side once more. After tossing the bag in the trash, Jakob slipped on his shoes and unlocked the door. As quietly as he could, Jakob made his way to the elevators.
