[He leans into the hand carding through his hair and hums in acknowledgement of Ravus' words. Once his back is wiped off Gladio slips into the chair and starts coming back to himself. It's a little unnerving to do so while sitting in the kitchen and while is partner is in another room but the sound of running water and the memory of a gentle hand combing through his hair helps ground him enough for now.

When Ravus returns, Gladio reaches out to him in an embarrassingly needy gesture. He's grateful to be lead to the tub, soaking up Ravus' presence even as he settles in to soak and recharge.

Hands in his hair a second time startle him, momentarily, but he closes his eyes and huffs contentedly as Ravus washes his hair.] Mmhh... s'nice... [The very few times he's fallen into subspace in the past he'd always appreciated physical contact during aftercare and he finds himself falling a little harder for Ravus as he does this simple thing for him.

Once he's fully back in the real world, he tilts his head and uses one arm to coax Ravus into a tender kiss.] Wanna switch places, Rae? I can drain the tub, fill it with some fresh water for ya, and feed you the rest of your breakfast while you relax.

[This weekend is supposed to be all about Ravus, after all, and Gladio is eager to spoil the older man in an effort to help him de-stress from the craziness that consumed everyone during finals week.]

Or do you have somethin' else in mind for your first day of break?
