When: Evening (20:10)
Where: Showers
What: Cleaning himself and what have you?
Rating: TBA

With a small huff, Axl stepped into the showers. He hated doing this every time. Once, the guy had to punch a man just to get a point across. Rough thing to do just to cover your bum to get through a way to clean yourself. Undeterred by the odds that would probably be stacked against him one day, he undressed. Stripping off the shirt first he looked around, nope, no one was looking. Then he kicked out of the bottoms, there was still a no with that bit. He sighed in relief, this was all he needed. Still, the man didn't feel safe, but there he was standing in the shower, waiting for someone to strike so he could punch their lights out. He had heard rumors and stories of people getting gang raped up the ass, but none really have tried it yet on the twenty-one year old fighter.

He grabbed the soap, it slipped out of his hands and onto the floor. His palm hit his face, why did the old joke of 'don't drop the soap' have to happen to him? He would ignore it, that was a bad omen or something. He reached for the shampoo and just washed his hair instead, ignoring the fact that the bar of soap was slipping out of his view and gliding out into the walkway between the showers. He didn't need it anyway right? He could always come back in the morning. That was the attitude he was taking as he kept scrubbing the smell of cleaning solution off his skin with shampoo of all things. Hell, this was better than nothing and he didn't want to go to his cell smelling like ammonia used to clean the freaking walls.  Bloody hell he hated that sent.  How he got stuck with being janitor he didn't know, but these days he was cleaning toilets, picking trash, and feeling like a bag of shit because the guards all loved to make him do extra work.  Ky was the only saving grace.  If he wasn't there, the fighter would have lost all respect for authority at all.  Even then, with how young the guy was, he didn't take him serious enough.

Trying his damnedest to get the smell of cleaners off his hair was proving difficult, and it was a chore.  He wasn't about to cut his blond locks.  Nope, that would be torture for him.  So, he did his best to get solutions and chemicals off his body the best he could.

It had taken a while for him to find his way towards the showers but he knew he was there by the sound of running water. He walked around slowly now, as he moved to the locker room, taking off his clothes and the blindfold, grasping his towel and wrapping it around his waist. he walked towards the shower, but he didn't see the bar of soap that was on the ground. He slipped and cracked his head on the floor, groaning out he started to curse, quite loudly, and in a very unknown language. He slowly got up to his feet, feeling the bar of soap and grasping it as he stood, mumbling to himself as he moved along into the showers. The bruising didn't hurt, but it looked like it did, the side of his arm and ribs were turning a deep purple rapidly he must have been a very thin blooded person.

[akuseru-rou.livejournal.com]

He heard a THUD and then a groan. OH HELL did he kill someone? He poked his head out to see none over than Zato get up with the soap in his hands. The Brit's eyes widened as he saw the bruising. "...shit. You all right?" He blinked, the other man didn't even seem to flinch, just look very annoyed. This was odd to see that happen.

His blue eyes blink, assessing that the bruise had to be deep. He hoped the blind man didn't have a concussion or anything.

[x-see-no-evil-x.livejournal.com]

"I'll be fine ..." he moved his hands along the bruising, sucking in a breath as he prodded it. "It's deep, but it will heal over time. He moved towards the shower heads, turning one on, turning his back to the spray, and tilting his head back, and doing somethign kind of strange - opening his eyes. Well at least his eyelids. He washed out the sockets, running his hands over his face.

[akuseru-rou.livejournal.com]

With that said and done, Axl couldn't help but stare at the other. He opened those hollow eyes, washing out the sockets. It made him flinch back to watch it. His sightless face wasn't bad to look at but his eyes...they weren't there. It reminded Axl of some zombie movie or something. Then a little guilt for feeling that way. He knew Zato couldn't help it.

His eyes wandered down he rest of the man. He wasn't that bad looking either. Wait...those blue orbs open widely. What was he saying? No, Axl wasn't gay. He didn't like men. With a small scowl, the other blond walked back to his shower and started to finish. Finally, the smell left him as he thought over Zato once more. Shake that thought away from your brain. You aren't gay. Especially over a blind man.

[x-see-no-evil-x.livejournal.com]

On closer inspection, Zato was very scarred but ... they almost made a pattern of stripes along his skin, as he shook his head, letting the water clear as he washed his hair, running his hand over the bruising. he let out a soft moan, arching his back slightly as he washed himself off, "How bad does the bruise really look?" he murmured, as he worked on lathering up his skin.

[akuseru-rou.livejournal.com]

He heard another moan, as soft as it was. Did this guy love pain that much? Axl couldn't even begin to think how that was possible unless all those years of being held captive took its toll in the worst of ways. "Eh...pretty bad I'm afraid." He wouldn't look over, nope that wouldn't be right.

Still having that inner battle with himself he turned off the water and grabbed his own towel and started to dry off. That moan...it sounded so..so gorgeous. He huffed, no this wasn't right, he wasn't gay. He just had to think of his girl Megumi...but those memories couldn't hold when he thought of her brains shot out of the pavement. A soft sigh escaped him. "You didn't hurt your head anything, did ya?"

[x-see-no-evil-x.livejournal.com]

Zato rubbed the back of his head, and groaned again as he felt another bruise. "I feel ... woozy ... but I'm ... sure i'll ... be fine. I just wish I ... knew why ... someone would leave a bar of soap on the floor." he said simply, rinsing himself off and turning off the shower, grasping a towel and wrapping it around him, low on the waist.

[akuseru-rou.livejournal.com]

He was going to say he did that when he looked over at the man. His breath was caught at the image of Zato's wet hair clinging to his back and chest, his muscles marred with bruises but still did not take away from his appeal. It was horrible to admit and he wouldn't in any other circumstance. The hope that the blind man couldn't read him was beginning to set in.

"It slipped out of my hand." A soft sigh, escaped him. "I didn't want to go get it, not realizing you'd come in." He sounded a bit guilt ridden. Hurting that man was the last thing on his mind as he jammed on his shirt. "I'll walk you to the infirmary or something."

[x-see-no-evil-x.livejournal.com]

" No need to go to the doctors ... it will heal. I'm sure. You didn't think you would be joined. It's fine ... " he murmured softly, the towel sliding a bit as he moved to grab it, but not catching it as quick as he had wished, the pain was kind of overwhelming him. He kept his eyes closed though, for the boy's sake.

[akuseru-rou.livejournal.com]

He assessed the damage of Zato's bruising. The towel slipped he was still quick but not quick as his he could be. "I'll help you to your room." He stepped closer, scooping up the eye bandage he pulled the man's hand out and placed the makeshift eye cover in his hands. "Here." He was close enough to almost touch that face.

[x-see-no-evil-x.livejournal.com]

Zato nodded and gently took the covering, wrapping it twice around his eyes, under his hair, tying it and sighing. He wanted his visor back! Or at least a pair of sunglasses. He gently picked up his clothes, favoring his side, as he moved to drop the towel and slide into his pants, his wet hair clinging to his face. "You're very kind. Usually I wouldn't require aid, but, I'm sore to know which way is up right now" he said simply.

[akuseru-rou.livejournal.com]

"I know, and this seems like it's my fault really." He scratched the back of his wet head and turned away to let the man have a bit of privacy. He picked up Zato's dropped towel and held it for him. Guilt was probably the only reason he was helping the other or so he thought.

[x-see-no-evil-x.livejournal.com]

He dressed, and ran a hand through his damp locks, his hair gliding wetly along his middle back, as he looked where he thought Axl was speaking. "Things happen. Usually for a reason. There is no problem with a little pain. It is only weakness leaving the body" he said simply, smiling for a moment and taking his hand, running it along his arm, and reaching where he had put the towel - then looking confused when it wasn't on the floor.

[akuseru-rou.livejournal.com]

So he memorized where he left the thing. With a small sigh, Axl placed it on his head. "Thought you misplaced it or something." This intrigued him as he watched Zato. "Right, that's why I'm offering to help." He grabbed his own to help dry off.

[x-see-no-evil-x.livejournal.com]

"Everything I do, is for a reason. I can remember where things are by the location of them to my body. But When they move, I lose my positioning. It's how I survive so long ... by remembering where things go." he said simply, his hands, running the towel over his head, groaning softly.

[akuseru-rou.livejournal.com]

Looking away in thought, Axl heard that groan and that grabbed his attention. Zato was indeed strange but alarmingly attractive to the Brit. Bloody hell, he wouldn't admit it. "Can you remember how to get to your room?" Simple enough of a question, he supposed. The younger man seemed to like the other's voice, as creepy as it was.

He gazed at Zato, wondering what it was like to never know what a person looked like.

[x-see-no-evil-x.livejournal.com]

"I've kind of lost my bearings. Some help, would be nice." he said softly, as he reached out, and ended up stroking the man's cheek. Zato seemed curious. "Would have expected you to have hair on your face ..." he said simply, a quirk to his brow.

[akuseru-rou.livejournal.com]

"All right if you want..." His voice trailed off as his cheek was caressed. He blinked at the man, wide eyed, breath caught. Zato's curiousity caught the man by surprise.

"I...you did?" He didn't move away, he wasn't sure why he didn't as the other's eyebrow rose. He felt a blush rise on his face as slight as it was.

[x-see-no-evil-x.livejournal.com]

Oh, but Zato felt that heat in his cheek as he smiled, and moved his hand along the man's face, smirking to himself. "You're blushing ... how cute ..." he moved closer, and let his lips brush the man's gently. "Soft lips ... and ... such long hair" he stroked the man's damp hair. before gently pulling away. "I'd say your in your early twenties ..." he murmured.

[akuseru-rou.livejournal.com]

Cute? Axl wasn't cute...His train of thought derailed when he felt those lips on his. They were soft and swift, he barely had time to kiss back to the slight brush. He was left dumbfounded as those man's fingers ran through his hair. Why did he just do that?

"Yeah, twenty-one." He smiled soft, still trying to fathom what just happened. "And what about you?"

[x-see-no-evil-x.livejournal.com]

He smirked and relaxed a bit, still stroking the ends of the man's hair, before pulling back a little.

"Twenty Seven ... nearly an old man I am" he laughed, "And I've been blind since I was sixteen ..." he murmured, "It's sad. I spent my life, never seeing the world as an adult. I only remember the young and innocent world." he murmured, and smirked.

[akuseru-rou.livejournal.com]

"That's not a bad think you know. Innocence seems to be a good lot to remember." He couldn't help but smile. He shook his head at the 'old' comment. "No, you aren't. I think you are as old as you feel..."

His hand brushed the others. "You are perfect." He did the unthinkable, he threw caution to the wind and pressed his lips against Zato's. Axl's mind was out the window at the moment. He'll probably float back down spouting a saying such as 'Why the hell did I do that?'

[x-see-no-evil-x.livejournal.com]

Zato gave a surprised moan, and pulled his hand around the man's neck, moving closer and letting his lips press to Axl's, moaning and letting his other hand on the man's shoulder.

[akuseru-rou.livejournal.com]

He broke the kiss softly, eyes closed. He was so close to Zato now. His heart was racing. Why? He didn't understand it. Maybe through the tournaments and the fights they had he had grown to like the man.

Those hands were on his shoulders. He wondered what the blind man thought. "Trying to see how I'm shaped?" Those words were uttered barely above a whisper.

[x-see-no-evil-x.livejournal.com]

"Perhaps" he purred deeply, as he stayed close. "Perhaps ... you should stay in my cell at lockup ... since I don't know how ill I am now" he said simply.

[akuseru-rou.livejournal.com]

"All right...I will." He smiled with his hushed tone, shivering to the purring Zato so close to his ear. With almost an instinct he laid his chin on the man's shoulder.

"I don't think I've been like this with a guy before." He said in hushed tones.

[x-see-no-evil-x.livejournal.com]

Zato smiled, and gently kissed the younger man on the forehead, "It'll be alright. I promise ... I'll be gentle on you" he wouldn't admit wether he had, or hadn't ever done something with another man. One would wonder with him being blind. he smiled, "I'll just need your help" he said with a smirk, and gently started out of the shower, using the bars as a guide.

[akuseru-rou.livejournal.com]

Axl, wondering if Zato had ever truly done it either, started after him and took his hand to help lead him out. "Where to, Zat?" He wasn't sure of the nickname but he did squeeze the man's hand lightly.

Axl started out of the shower room with the man. Inmates were looking them both over as they stepped out together. Axl gave a scowl and an evil glare.

[x-see-no-evil-x.livejournal.com]

"Cell x14b ... it's near the beginning." He smiled, He could sense the stares, and followed Axl along, his hand running along the man's hip, as he smiled. "I don't care if they stare ... they only wish they could see the way I do" he grinned. And felt along the way.
