[ Jou stays quiet while Kaiba whisks himself away, cleaning himself up. His whole body is tired and settling down. He could sleep at any moment, but when he feels Kaiba crawl back into the bed, he slowly hefts his body up to go and take his turn in the shower. He's too sticky and stale feeling to sleep comfortably.
He takes much longer in the shower, starting out with washing and ending up sitting on the floor under the hot water, just letting it run down his back and over the lingering bruises from earlier in his day. The heat feels good on his body, on the creases of his hips where they're sore from being parted.
He assumes Kaiba won't wait for his return, so he takes his time, soaking up the heat and steam until his body feels less tight and sore before finally crawling out of the shower to dry himself down and return to the room. He doesn't bother coming out with a towel, just pulling on his boxers instead, before flopping on the far edge of the bed, opposite Kaiba. He doesn't cover himself and feels unsure that he can really sleep, but the refreshed and warm feeling in his skin at least makes his body relax. ]
