"Not fair? David, nothing's fair. I don't think this shit's gonna be a problem but I'd rather have it figured out beforehand than get a nasty surprise later." Like South. Like Tex. Like Connie. "...Deal."
He snorts, turns his head aside. Why is he even making a big deal out of this, when he's not going to be here tomorrow? "I know. You're right, I just-" Finally has someone he cares about and now he's going to abandon him and being *asked* to abandon him is worse.
"Don't like thinking about having to bail. I know." He shuffles back up on the bed, taking David's chin in his hand and turning his face to look him in the eye. "It's probably not gonna come to that. I got your back, you got mine, we got Kimball's. We'll get this done. Ok babe?"
"...well now that I've gone and ruined the afterglow..." He sighs and leans down, pressing his kiss softly, sweetly against David's. He just- wanted them on the same page. Timing is for shit, though. "Let's shower. I'll scrub your back."
"Always knew you couldn't read the atmosphere." The kiss is better and he hooks an arm around Taylor's neck, clinging to him just a bit. "Maybe tomorrow you could scrub other parts."
"Tomorrow I will give you a full body massage when we get back, mm? How's that sound?" Seems like David needs it. He leans into the kiss, dragging his hands through his hair. "C'mon. We gotta be quick so we don't get seen."
"Oh god, how can I refuse an offer like that?" He lets the kiss linger as long as he can, and then presses another to his cheek. He reluctantly rolls out of bed and stretches. "Mmm, that would just add fuel to the fire."
"See the thing is, you're gonna get dressed before you run out, arne't you?" Taylor's not even grabbing shoes. Just his towel and body wash. "I'm not."
"Sounds like a personal problem rookie. Are you ready?" This. This is insane and crazy and just the right kind of bullshit to get them out of that weird, maudlin headspace he'd punted them into.
It is not really a skill that Wash has had cause to perfect and fuck, that does kind of hurt. He arrives at the showers after York, glaring at the other man. "You are insane."
"I am crazy like a fox." He crackles a laugh, tugging David deeper into the showers before hitting the water. "Come on, show me where it hurts, I'll kiss it better."
It's infectious, York's laugh, and any offence is gone when he gets dragged into the showers. "I don't think i can get it up again even if you did kiss where it hurts."
"Oh come on, I thought you were a girl in every port kind of guy," Wash teases, even if he knows it isn't true. He'd been gone for Carolina after all. "Me either. Like I said, nothing since Casbah."
"WHen ports were safe, sure." They haven't been for- well. Years. Right now he just tugs David under the spray and works up a lather, scrubbing at his shoulders and back.

There's a lump in his throat. It's hard to swallow around.
