Axel nodded as he spoke, shifting to grab clean clothes from the dresser. "I'll be quick," he noted. "Then you can take as long as you want in there," he added. He didn't normally spend much time in the shower, but he knew Duncan liked the water, so he didn't mind getting in and out for him.

Duncan nodded and smiled. "Okay, thanks,"

Axel nodded and smiled before slipping into the bathroom. He washed quickly, so he was back out in maybe fifteen minutes or so, working through his hair with a brush. "All yours," he chirped lightly, sitting down in a chair to work through the tangles in his now wet hair.

Duncan got up to move to the bathroom but hesitated. "Do you want any help with that?" he asked.

Axel hadn't expected Duncan to offer to comb through his hair, so he paused for a moment before shrugging slightly. "If you want to," he noted with a nod, offering the brush to him when he seemed like he wanted to help. Admittedly, he liked the idea of Duncan combing his hair.

Duncan smiled, taking the comb and moving to help him.

When Duncan took the brush, Axel just shifted to flip his hair over his shoulder so it hung down his back, making it easier for him to reach. "It's a lot," he noted with a chuckle. But he liked the fact that Duncan wanted to just do the little things like that.

Duncan smiled, moving behind him and gently using the brush to comb through the tangles, being as gentle as possible.

Axel found himself half drifting off as Duncan brushed through his hair, the movements gentle and calming. It felt nice. Relaxing. By the time he was done Axel gave him a tired smile. "Thanks," he hummed, moving to put the brush away after a moment or so. Duncan moved to shower then, so Axel climbed into bed to wait. He had planned on staying up to wait for him, but ended up drifting off despite that.

Duncan brushed the tangles out of his hair and kissed his cheek when he'd finished. Duncan smiled. "Of course," he hummed as he moved to the bathroom. Duncan stayed in the bath for a while, really enjoying it. When he was done, he got dressed, and wandered back to Axel, curling up beside him. Duncan didn't want to disturb him so he just gently took Axels hand into his and drifted off like that.
