Pheonix smiled. He liked the pet names Cleon insisted on giving him. Carefully stripping down he climbed into the warm water, squeezing out some shampoo for bubbles. He unbraided his matted hair and dunked under, coming back up to shampoo his red locks and soap his body. Once that was done and the water was up to his waist in the tub he shut it off and relaxed back. The only thing he was going to need then was clothes, but he could wrap in a towel and go ask Cleon for some.

While Pheonix was taking his bath, Cleon busied himself with folding up the extra blankets and changing the sheets. The red head had sweated so much, he knew they had to be dirty. Plus, they were the same ones that he put on the day he left. It was time to change them. He put on some new cream colored sheets and pillowcases, then the comforter and one extra blanket back on. He placed the folded blankets off to the side on the floor for now. It had been about ten minutes now. He wondered how long Pheonix would be in there... he missed him. To pass the time he found the book he had been reading and laid on the bed to read it.

Pheonix stayed in the bath a bit longer, letting the water soak and carry away the grime on his skin. Finally he arose from the water, stretching for a towel. He dried his hair first until it didn't drip, then his feet and stepped onto the tiled floor. He wrapped the overly large towel around him and pulled the plug on the tub, picking up his dirty clothes. There was no hamper for them so he merely folded them and carried the pile with him as he walked out.
"Cleon....do you by chance have a change of clothes i can get into? Mine are dirty..." He blushed, clinging to his towel.

Cleon looked up when he heard Pheonix's voice, and immediately a light blush covered his cheeks. Why was he blushing?? This was Pheonix! His mate. "Um... yes, I have some pajamas. They will more comfortable than normal clothes," he said. He dropped his book on the bed on his way to the dresser. He pulled out some dark blue pants and a white t-shirt with a dark blue line across the chest.
He handed them to his mate, and took his dirty clothes in return. "I hope they fit," he said softly, careful to keep his eyes level with beautiful golden ones-he didn't want his mate to see his eyes wandering. It seemed wrong to do that to him right now.

"Thank you.." Pheonix took the clothes gratefully and moved back towards the bathroom. He had been blushing profusely even if Cleons eyes had stayed on his. All that talk about babies.....He closed the door behind him and dried off the rest of the way before slipping into the clothes. They were a bit big and he had to tie the pants, but they fit.
Smiling he walked back out, falling onto the bed. "Much better...." He combed his fingers through his hair, grinning at Cleon. God, but he loved the other boy. He was so sweet to him and Pheonix loved it.

Cleon smiles back at Pheonix, glad he was feeling better. He suddenly had an idea. He looked around a second before he found what he was looking for. A hair brush. He walked to the bed and sat next to his mate. "Up," he smiled, pulling the boy into a sitting position. He started brushing his slightly damp red hair. "...I like your hair," he said softly as he continued brushing it out gently.

He sat up stright, holding himself still so Cleon could brush his hair. It was knotted and he knew it didn't look all that great right now but he blushed all the same. "Thank you...I really like your hair too. It's pretty," he crossed his legs and sighed in content. Just being around Cleon made him happy.

He chuckled. He wasn't sure why. Maybe it was just because he was so happy being around Cleon, that he felt like laughing. Because he was happy. "Thank you," he said softly, smiling. It seemed his smile did not stay away long near his mate.

Pheonix let his head tilt back so Cleon would have an easy time and closed his eyes. "So how long is it going to take to get to your home? I still can't wait...maybe the fresh air will help me get better...."

"Uumm...," he mumbled, trying to think how long they had been on the ship already. "A couple more days at least," he answered. "And it is our home now," he added. "Well... we will have to move out of my parents' house of course. I do not know how long it will take to build a house though. Hmm.... Would you rather live in the forest, or in one of the villages?" he asked.

That excited him more. He'd have his own home with Cleon. They'd be alone and would get to spend time together. But a few days...what were he and Cleon to do for a few days? He shrugged a bit. "I don't know......a forest sounds really nice. I love being in nature and it's quiet..."

Cleon nodded. "I like that idea, too. I have grown up in the forest, and it is much more peaceful than either of the villages. Even the Fire Breather one!" he chuckled. "Fire Breathers are pretty much loners, so even in a village everything is pretty quiet," he explained. "And, if we build it out in the forest it can be our own, not some building we buy. I wish this ship was faster. I am getting so excited," he grinned.

"Me too!" He would've squealed if his throat didn't hurt. Once Cleon was finished with his hair he turned around and threw himself into the boys arms, smiling up at him. "I feel much, much better now....want to give me the rest of the tour? Then we can find somethign to occupy ourselves...to pass time." He wanted to kiss him but still didn't want to make his mate sick. Instead, he settled for nuzzling his chin since that was all he could reach.

He grinned, amused at his mate's excitedness. "Okay, let's go see the kitchen, then," he suggested. His arms, which had automatically wrapped around the other boy when he hugged him, tightened around him in a small hug. "And then I can think from there.... There really is not that much more to see," he said, wishing there were. He loved seeing Pheonix when he was excited and interested about something.

"Okay!" He wiggled against him, trying to get out of his grasp, excitement rising once again. He loved learning about the ship. It was an interesting piece of machinery and he liked it-even if Cleon said it wasn't advanced. He finally succeeded in getting away and slid off the bed, holding out his hand for Cleon to take and show him the way.
