Erik burst through the door and began taking off his
clothes before it closed again.  His shirt, breeches, and
undergarments were thrown in the lighthouse's automatic
cleaning chute.  His misty cloak was unclasped and placed
gently on Lex's bed.

Naked, he crossed the room, grabbed a fresh towel, and
turned the shower on.  When the water's temperature was
just right, he jumped in and let the streams wash off the
sweat and dust from another victorious volleyball game.

After he was sufficiently clean, he turned up the water's
heat and enjoyed the relaxing pulse of the jets.  He closed
his eyes and let his mind wander over recent events.

His thoughts were interrupted by the gentle *shoosh* of
the bathroom door opening and closing followed by the
sound of bare feet on the tile floor.  Erik couldn't help but
smile.

"Can I come in Erik?"

Erik recognized the voice of his mate.  "Of course, Love.
I'm just loosening up a bit."

The shower door opened and closed.  He could feel the
presence behind him.  He waited eagerly to be touched with
his eyes still closed.

Erik felt a finger run along his shoulder and then down his
arm, warm breath on his neck, the heat from the shower
and his partner's body.  He leaned back.  A pair of strong
arms embraced him.  A nuzzle against his hair.  A nibble
on his ear.

Erik purred.  An arm circled his waist while the other
traced the outline of his chest, pausing for an exquisite
moment on the sensitive areas.  His other ear was given a
chance and then the side of his neck.

Erik tilted his neck to make it more accessible.  "Mmm.  I'd
like to stay like this all day."

"So why don't we?  Do you have anything better to do?"

"Actually, I can't imagine anything better."  Erik reached
behind him and traced the muscular outline of his mate's
abdomen.

"That's your hormones talking."

"Yep.  And they know what they are talking about."  Erik
turned slowly in the shower to look into the eyes of ...
'Raelf.

"Hi there."  'Raelf smiled like an innocent child.

"'RAELF?  I thought you were Lex."  Erik's face flushed.
He fought the impulse to grab his towel and cover himself.

"I am Lex, and he is me.  Haven't we been through this?"

"You *know* what I mean."

"Are you disappointed?"

"Uh ... no.  Just surprised."  Erik looked at 'Raelf's
body.  It was the first time he had seen him naked.  "I
should have known it was you.  Lex is bigger ... uh ... I
mean he has more bulk."

A sly laughter danced in 'Raelf's eyes.  "Dude, it's 'Raf
who's, ah, bigger.  But if you want more bulk I can pump up."

He waited for Erik to shake his head no, hesitantly.
"No, this is different, I like it."

Erik reached toward 'Raelf's washboard stomach as if it
would break at the slightest tough, then he pulled back.
"Sorry, I don't know why I did that.  You two are so much
alike."

'Raelf slowly leaned forward, putting his face inches from
Erik's.  As if some outside force drew them together, their
lips met.  Erik let his inhibitions go.  His arms circled
around to 'Raelf's back and drew him tighter into the
embrace.  Their hands explored the body of the other.

"There is something that I've wanted to do for a while."
'Raelf kissed Erik's neck, then moved down, shoulder,
chest, stomach, ... Erik moaned.

The water was still hot, and it was nice having someone
to soap his back.  And to dry it.

When they left the bathroom the bed wasn't empty.  Lex
was lying sprawled across it, a book open on the floor.

"Hey, dudes," he grinned when he saw them.  "D'ja have
a good shower?"

"Dufus," 'Raelf snorted.  "Here, see for yourself."
He sat on the bed next to Lex and ran his hands over
his neck.  "Relax, bro."

Erik felt a momentary dizziness as the room whirled
around a fixed unchanging point in chaos for a fraction
of a second.  Nothing was changed, though.

"What was that?" he said, suspicious.

"Just sharing memory," Lex grinned.  "I like that new
cleaning gel, it doesn't taste like soap."

"I don't know about you," Erik said, suppressing a yawn,
"but I didn't get a lot of sleep last night.  How about
a nap?"

"Sure," Lex said. "C'mere, we'll make a sandwich."

Eric sat down next to 'Raelf, suddenly nervous again.

"He's all tense again.  Wanna fix?" 'Raelf said to Lex.

"Sure."  Lex gently stretched Erik out on the bed and
began massaging the tired muscles in his neck and back,
while 'Raelf started doing amazing things to his feet.

After a while he drifted off.
