Luca washed the soap out of his hair as quickly as he could not wanting to make him suffer any more than necessary surprisingly the soap actually got most of the grime out of his hair after some conditioner he should be fine

Riko held back a hiss as the soap fell down his face, flowing forward with the water. His nails were starting to bite deeply into his naked thighs, and caused him a great deal of pain, but it was nearly the only thing keeping him sitting in the water and not shredding Luca to shreds for pouring water all over him.

Once the soap was out of his hair, he cautiously let go of his thighs and touched his hair hesitantly. It felt...better. Lighter, and softer, even while still wet. His eyes opened wide as he looked to Luca. "What was that soap?? I don't think I've ever felt this way." Suddenly Riko became fascinated by how soft his skin was, how it seemed to glow from within. And that what he had thought were freckles, had vanished.

He looked down at the water he was sitting in and saw how filthy it was. His cheeks grew red, now even more prominate without the dirt to cover them, as he lowered his eyes. "I'm sorry, I seem to have made a mess of your...whatever this is."

Luca laughed and rubbed Riko's ears "Its alright<3 A bath tub can be cleaned just like us." He said fascinated by Riko. "So would you like to feel your hair after I put conditioner through it and wash that out?" He asked curious if Riko would brave the water longer to get his hair super soft and whole body washed off. "Also I wont wash your body for you you have to learn that one on your own but I'll tell you what to do alright?" Luca didn't want to risk ruining his possible new friend and scaring Riko off by being a pervert. " think you can handle that? He asked while pulling the drain plug so some of the water could be taken out when it got signifigantly lower he turned on the warm water so that the water would atleast be abit cleaner.

(If you would like me to add more the the post i can but i thought we should start off a little easier since i was gone for a whole year im glad that you wanted to continue this with me =] oh and if you would like to do more than one together i would love to cause I am here to stay this time for sure =D see you when you get online)

(to mods, sorry for suddenly reviving this but since it was my rp thread and i have hopes of reviving it and working on it with rose i have posted and am now awating a post from them, please dont punish me, thanks =D)

Riko was intrigued by the idea that his hair could get even softer, but that was diminished some by the knowledge that he would have to endure the water longer. To both his great relief, but slight disappointment, Luca unplugged the tub. Riko watched as the dirty brown water swirl around down the drain, and he had a quick jolt of fear. He couldn't be sucked down that too, could he?

Before Riko had anymore time to ponder that, Luca stopped the drain and turned the water back on, making Riko's muscles tense back up after the short relaxed state. The warm water swirled about his legs, and he was very close to leaping out of the tub, but the call of soft hair was too great. He had to find out if Luca's claim was real or not.

"Well... alright. I guess." Once again, Riko tensed up his muscles, more to keep him from bolting out of the tub than anything, and started to absently knead his legs with his claws in anticipation.

Luca rubbed riko's back as the water refilled trying to keep him calm " So i am guessing from that reaction you are stil not used to the water yet?" He asked. continuing to rub him though stopped to turn off the running water. And picked up the conditioner bottle. putting a good amount into his hands and than began to rubb it through riko's hair. letting it sit in for a few minutes
(Have to go to work)

Riko shook his head at the question, surprised at himself that he enjoyed having his head rubbed. He couldn't help a flinch as Lucas hand made his way towards his head with the conditioner. "I don't know how anyone gets used to this." He allowed Luca to rub in the conditioner, still anxiously kneading his claws against his thighs.

"How long does it have to stay in there?" He started to ask his other question, then stopped, closing his mouth. After a pause, he decided he already looked silly enough so why not ask it. "Will my skin and hair really be softer than after the sha..sham.. um, the soap?"

Luca laughed " Well they just simply do, Most people dont really like the feeling of having dirt on their skin and in their hair. Infact they shower every single day to keep being clean. Plus with all the different soaps you can smell like lots of things, even cherry blossoms." Luca informed him.

You can wash it out in another minute or so, there is no actual set time but they recomend like three minutes i think..."He said smiling at how cute this guy really was. "And yes it will be Rico. You know what if you dont believe me see for your self and if you think i am wrong then i will buy you one thing of your choice ANYTHING of your choice"

"You know what if you dont believe me see for your self and if you think i am wrong then i will buy you one thing of your choice ANYTHING of your choice"

Rico looked suspiciously at Luca. That sounded an awful lot like charity. More so than was already being offered by this bath and food. But having something bought for him… "I don't need handouts, and I don't have anywhere to put anything." With the small flare of prideful anger going in his gut, Riko flipped on the water like he had seen Luca do, and while it was a bit too hot, he stuck his head under the running faucet, rinsing the conditioner out of his hair as quickly as he could.

As he came out from under the water, he shook his head, trying to get the excess water out. With his hair plastered to his skull, and the slight glaring in his eyes, he looked a very comical portrait of unhappiness. "Am I clean?"

Luca sidhed at Rico's anger. Luca hadn't meant it seriously, he was being sarcastic, since there was no doubt that riko's hair and his skin would be softer, there was no need to buy him anything extra. But then again maybe he should have made it more 'visible that he was making a joke.
When Rico shook out his hair he got most of the shaken water onto Luca but he said nothing of it, he lost the mood for laughter, even looking at how ricos hair was very flat on his head from being so wet. "Yes, You are done..." He said unplugint the water and puting a towel by rico before getting up and gettin him new clean clothing.

Riko tilted his head in curiosity when Luca stood up and left, leaving him with a rectangular piece of fuzzy cloth. Not only was he confused by what he was supposed to do next, but he had no idea why Luca just walked away.

Riko shrugged and stood, grabbing the fuzzy cloth. Turning it over, he swiped his chest with it. Seeing that all of the water droplets were gone, a look of wonder crossed his face. This thing got him dry! Immediately Riko started wiping his entire body, making sure every last water droplet was soaked into that miraculous fuzzy rectangle.

Luca rummaged through his closet finding some of his older clothing that were right in his waist size but short on his legs they were black with rips at the knees that he had made himself and a 'rise against' t-shirt he thought would fit him from the closet. Making sure there was no better options he left his room to give the clothing to Riko. He came in just as Riko was finishing up his dry up. "These are for you to borrow of now alright?" He said looking him over knowing the pants were still going to be too long.

Riko eyed the proffered clothing suspiciously. He'd never been given clothing before, and was unsure about the gesture. He dropped the towel to the floor, now completely nude. He took the clothing and slipped the shirt on over his head, trying to read it upside down. He tilted his head to the side trying to read what it said. Giving up, he shrugged and pulled on the pants, getting his feet stuck in the holes at the knees a couple of times before pulling them on and buttoning them around his waist. The shirt hung to his hips, but besides the pants being a few inches too long, they fit well.

"Thank you." Riko mumbled, unsure of what else to say now. This was the most kindness he'd ever been shown, aside from other street urchins, and he didn't know how to accept it, or how to repay it.

Ill get you somethiing that will fit you better later okay? But only if you would like me to. Its not a pity thing I promise. I just wanna get you something you'll like okay?" He said trying to show he just wanted to be friendly. But maybe it was more than that he remembered a tiime when he had someone else around him someone he cared far to much about. And maybe he was really trying to fill that void. " now that your clean how do you feel?" He asked wondering if riko would say that he was right. That his hair and skin were indeed much softer than they had been in a very long time

Luca went into the the kitchen and prepared the delicious desert for them as well as some tea for himself and some milk for Rico. After eating He offered that rico stayed the night since it was raining now, promising that it really was no trouble having him over especially now that he was all nice and clean.

(I figured you could choose if he stays or not and then bring it to the next day so that it fits but thats up for you.)

Rico polished off his dessert quickly, it was just too yummy! There were very few times when he got anything to eat, let alone something as sugary and delicious as this. Before long, both his food and glass of milk was gone and he was yawning. When Luca offered a place to stay, Rico's mind started running again. He had noticed the sky darkening with cold steel gray clouds, and now that he listened, the pitter-patter of raindrops on the glass windows told him it was indeed raining. Not wanting to sleep in the rain for another night, Rico agreed cautiously.

"Where shall I sleep?"

Luca couldnt help but to smile he was about to say to take the guest bedroom but it had turned more into a storage room... " you can have my bedroom if you would like. or the couch whatever you prefer?" he said not minding at all if he took the bed room since it was his mess that made the guest bedroom un available. mayve he would clean it so that next time it was needed it could actually be used.
