He's grinding his cigarette out when she turns up, looking mussed and bloody gorgeous. His lips form their customary pout at the sight of her, and he nods to cover his appreciation.
'Ta.'
His own clean up doesn't take long, but he lingers in the cool of the bathroom, leaning against the sink and rubbing the back of his neck to try and ease the knot of tension. He's more exhausted than he can remember being, but the release has helped a bit. He no longer has the energy to feel like he doesn't fit in his own skin. There's a chance for sleep.
As for the stuff they talked about - that can wait until tomorrow. He stands straight, and stretches, and thinks of the feel of her straddling him in the dark. There's going to have to be more of that, but he's still glad she didn't let him forget they were supposed to hold back.
He's not humming when he emerges, and probably still looks a mess. But he smiles at her a bit anyway, and there's no hesitation at climbing back into the same bed as her.
