Duncan nodded with a burning blush on his face. "And, um, I need to be clean right after, I can't stay sweaty or messy and um I need to wear my oxygen mask," he whispered.

Axel nodded along, offering him a smile. "I know. I'll make sure you get clean," he promised. "And I was going to make you wear the mask anyway," he admitted with a somewhat sheepish smile.

Duncans eyes watered. He'd never been so loved or cared for in his life. "I love you so much," he whispered, leaning up and kissing him. Before they got too carried away, he pulled away and put his oxygen mask on.

Axel just smiled at him and nodded. "I love you too," he noted, releasing him so he could get his mask, helping him adjust it before they moved forward with it all.

Duncan gazed up at him once they'd stilled with a mixture of pure love and mild discomfort. "...Axel, I need to be clean," he whispered.

Axel had stilled for a moment to catch his breath, nodding with a small chuckle as Duncan spoke. "Yeah, come on," he noted, scooping Duncan up with a grunt and moving to the bathroom. "Let's get washed up before dinner for sure," he added with a slight wrinkle to his nose.

Duncan settled in the tub with him, still gazing up at him with a soft smile. "Are you good? Like satisfied?" he asked, concerned for him, hoping he had been good enough.

Axel had shifted so Duncan could lean against his chest if he wanted to, wrapping his arms around him loosely. At his comment, he looked over at him and nodded with a small hum. "Course," he noted. "It doesn't take much of you to do it," he added with a shrug, pecking his head lightly.

Duncan blushed and smiled, curling up against Axels chest. He pulled away for a moment, switching back over to his cannula and taking the mask of before leaning up and kissing him.

Axel loosened his hold so Duncan could move his mask and cannula around, before tightening his hold again when he settled back in. He kissed him back with a smile, reaching for a washcloth after a moment or so. "Come on, let's clean up. Dinner will be ready soon," he noted lightly.
