Axel nodded with a grin, standing up and well and taking his hand, letting him lead him into the bathroom. "Make the water whatever temperature you want," he added, since he assumed Duncan would want the water on.

Duncan turned on the tap, filling the bath with warm water and turning on the heaters to keep the water warm. He flicked the light off before climbing in, still fully clothed.

Axel watched him with a fond smile, nudging the door closed behind them just in case. He shifted to climb in after Duncan, a soft laugh escaping him. "Never thought I'd be doing this," he admitted, though happily. He'd never taken a bath before....it had always been a shower or dunk in a river. So this was nice. Plus he was with Duncan, and they were playing around, so that was also nice.

Duncans clothing stuck to his body uncomfortably, but he was more comfortable with them on in front of Axel right now. "You've never taken a bath before?" Duncan asked, clearly shocked. He loved baths so much...

Axel shook his head no, then realized the lights were off so he should probably say it out loud. "We only had basic showers in the barracks," he noted. "No warm water in them either," he added with a chuckle. He sank lower into the water with a soft sigh, closing his eyes slightly. He wasn't sure he'd ever get over the warm water. That was quite nice.

Duncan gave him a sympathetic look. "Thats awful," he murmured, trying to imagine a world where he didn't have access to the water like he did now. Duncan sat on the opposite side of the bath from Axel, impatiently waiting for him. Duncan wanted Axel so badly, now especially since he was in his comfort place, but he was too shy to initiate anything.

Axel hummed softly, shrugging slightly. "I had other comfort spaces," he noted. "It wasn't all that bad." He stayed where he was for a moment longer before he changed the topic back to playing around with each other. "You want to test me out or do you want me to keep doing it to you," he asked, kind of wanting both but he couldn't decide what he wanted more ..so he'd let Duncan pick.

Duncan blushed, shifting back and forth impatiently. "...can you keep doing it with me?" he asked shyly. He didn't know if he was comfortable testing anything on Axel yet. That might be a while before he was comfortable enough to do so. He knew as soon as he tried he'd get all awkward and flustered and he'd shut down emotionally from all the pressure. But right now, that isnt what Duncan wanted.

Axel smiled and nodded, humming a soft "alright," in agreement before shifting to crawl over to the other edge of the tub, sort of gently feeling around until he found Duncan's face and got a sense of where he was before sort of just perching in his lap and pressing his lips against him again with a smile.

Duncan kissed him back, kissing him hard. He wrapped legs around his torso and laced his fingers into his hair. He wanted him closer, he needed him closer.
