Smutty chapter...?

Jk. We're here for a slow burn, people. A slow burn with pathetic, whiny men.

~

You toss and turn for a bit before sitting up, throwing your legs over the side of the bed. You're just about to wander down to the kitchen and get something to eat, when Mystery enters the bedroom.

"Why are you not resting?" he asks, arching an eyebrow at you.

"Uh..." You trail off before slowly lying back down. Mystery gives you a satisfied smile and settles at the foot of the bed, the mattress dipping beneath him. 

"Jinu's running a bath for you," Mystery eventually says after a moment of watching you. He rubs your calf overtop the blanket. His touch is fond, softer than you're used to. "Let's get you to the bathroom."

"My bathroom doesn't have a bathtub," you say with a bit of bewilderment. You frown and ask, "Wait, he's running a bath for me?"

"Yeah, in my room. I have a pretty big bathtub, big enough for more than one person." Mystery reaches a hand out for you to take, gently helping you stand up. He treats you like you're delicate; something to be loved and cared for.

"That sounds good." You smile at the thought of sinking into steaming water, with maybe scented candles off to the side. It feels like such a long time since you've gotten to truly relax.

Mystery guides you to his bedroom, with a hand planted on the small of your back to steer you. His room consists of a bed, a dresser, and a swing hanging in the corner for some reason.

"What's that for?" you ask, tipping your head back to look at Mystery behind you. You point at the swing, not that there is anything else you could mean.

"Hm?" Mystery glances over at the swing, lips curving into a small smirk. "Oh, the swing? You wanna test it out with me? I have a box under my bed that might be helpful. All sorts of... nice things in there."

Your eyes widen and you force your gaze away from the swing. "Uh... No?"

"Doesn't sound very convincing, but okay." Mystery drums his fingers against you. He cranes his neck to kiss your cheek. "But it's a normal swing. I like to read books in it."

"Oh." You blink in surprise, trying to look confident. "I knew that."

"Sure." Mystery pushes the bathroom door open, revealing a massive tub sunken into the ground. Marble tiles, dark oak accents, and fluffy towels show how great Mystery's taste is. 

Jinu is bent over, his hand dipped into the water to test the temperature. He removes it and wipes it on a hand towel before grinning at you. "Lavender or cherry blossom scent?"

"Um, lavender?" you hesitantly reply with a tilt of your head. Romance dashes into the room, closely followed by Abby. The pair of them are in bathing suits. "Hold on a second-"

"I'll wash your hair really gently," Romance promises as he stretches. "Okay, get naked now."

"Absolutely not," you firmly say, crossing your arms. You shake your head to emphasize how against this you are. "I'm not taking a bath with you!"

"Why not? We're in bathing suits, so it's not like it's a sexy thing," Abs counters, waving a hand at his body. "But, like, it could be. If you wanted it to."

"Nope." You grab a towel to whack them with. "Get out so I can enjoy myself!"

The demons flee the room, leaving you alone with a beautiful bathtub to soak in. You shed your clothes and step into the water, sighing contently at how hot it is. You close your eyes and take in how peaceful the moment is.
