"Hm, bath," Luke murmurs in a low voice and although being pressed up against the desk isn't exactly comfortable now that they've both finished, he still can't help the little shiver of disappointment that sneaks through him when Reid slips free of his body. There's no reason to be disappointed, he knows they're going to do this again, he knows he can't possibly live without it now that he's experienced, but at the same time there's a little, completely illogical part of himself that just doesn't want this moment to end. They can't stay this way forever, it's just not possible for so many reasons, but Luke can't help but want it all the same. If they just stay here, pressed together, Reid warm and strong against his back, then he knows nothing can ever touch them. Nothing but love and affection and desire and laughter will ever be in their lives again.
But Reid is helping him up and Luke turns, allowing himself to be maneuvered, since he doesn't think he can move on his own just yet, and his arms slide around Reid's waist, his hands settling against the small of his back and he thinks he'd be content to do anything right now. Bed, bath, lie on the floor, there's nothing that wouldn't be entirely enjoyable because they're together. It's the only thing Luke needs. They've talked about it, they're going to get married, spend the rest of their lives together, and for Luke, it's the only thing in the world that matters right now.
Since he's already said bath, though, he begins to plod slowly in the direction of the bathroom and once he's moving, once he's in the bathroom and he takes a look at the big, sprawling tub that came with their room, he's reminded all over again that this is a good idea. Leaning over the edge, he turns on the taps until the water is nice and warm, then opens one of the bottles that had been left for them beside the tub and dumbs the contents in, watching as the sweet smelling bubbles grow higher and higher.
"It's possible I put in too much bubble bath," he comments offhandedly, but he has no problem with that at all. The scent is lovely, not too overpowering, even with his heightened senses, and Luke feels drained in the best possible sense of the word. He glances back at Reid, then smiles as he steps over the edge of the tub and sinks into the scented water. The bubbles rise and billow around his shoulders, making him laugh, but he finds a place to sit and relaxes into the corner, then raises one hand and gestures for Reid to join him. Even though the two of them are awfully tall, the tub has more than enough room for the both of them, which Luke appreciates. He wants to luxuriate in this and enjoy every last moment of their time together here.
