Holland just lays back when Kell kisses him. Both hands move up to cradle and hold his face so he won't pull away, and he just catches his breath in between kisses.

It take a few moments, but when no one comes banging on the door, he relaxes completely and adjusts to smooth his hands up and down the others back, nosing up against him.

"...at least it wasn't Daddy you yelled." The corner of his mouth ticked up.

Holland didn't move for a while but he did eventually have to shift enough to slip out of the others body or else face some serious discomfort. Even if he hated doing it.

His hands moved up and down his back, sometimes light, sometimes scratching, sometimes in a half massage, but in the end he stretched and pushed his own hair back and just lounged like some lazy cat that was unbothered by the weight still on top of him.

But he had shut up, at least.

Until he shifted again and looked over at the other antari's face, "You should shower."

Holland considers their options but then carefully shifts so that he can sit up, with Kell still in his lap and climbs off of the bed so he can just carry the younger man into the bathroom.

"Too bad," he murmurs, "You must. Or else you'll feel all kinds of unpleasant."

Itchy and sticky, mostly.

Setting Kell on the counter, he slips away to draw a bath.

He doesn’t look up from the water, testing temperature and adding some things to it but, he nods faintly.

“I enjoy that for once he’s not the only one who gets to enjoy himself while you have to sit through it,” he agrees and finally looks over, flicking a finger to beckon him closer to the tub.

“Get in.”

“A part of you minded,” Holland corrected because there was no way it couldn’t have.

He stayed where he was, knelt beside the tub when Kell stepped in and sank down to sit in the water. His eyes roamed slowly over the others face and then slowly stood to retrieve a wash cloth.

“That will be the pot calling the kettle, then considering he still rendezvous with someone you can’t stand either,” Holland shrugged lightly and calmly climbed into the back of the tub, making himself comfortable and wetting down the cloth.

He paused, though and shook his head, “I have neither good nor ill will against your brother. But I will call a hypocrite out if I must.”

Kell could be angry if he wanted to. Holland would get over it.

Holland just went silent. Some matters were best kept quiet about. Rhy and Kells connection was one of those matters.

He went back to the cloth, wetting it again, soaping it up, fluffing it, and then just as silently reaching to help wash the younger man from shoulder to back, over his arms and back up to focus on the bite mark he had left.

“Would you like to keep it or shall I heal it for me you?” Holland asked, the cloth hovering over the wound.

In regards to care—he did like to care for Kell. It was a new thing for him but after the visits to his cell. After the ship. After being shone a semblance of trust from the younger man, he wanted to care for him.

“Why?”

The question it out before he can even think to keep it to himself. The admission carries a weight that Holland still isn’t used to. An importance that makes his heart beat to life in ways he had forgotten it could.

But then he thought of the mark on his own shoulder; still blood stained. Still achy.

It’s brief but the look that crosses his face is a mixture of disbelief, amusement and maybe even a little shyness.

But he just gives a low sound of agreement and resumes cleaning because infection would be a pain.

The rest of the bath is done in almost complete silence until he clears his throat and says, “You still need to clean yourself,” he pauses, “out, I mean.”

Relaxing backwards against the rear end of the tub, Holland eventually offers a half shrug and closes his eyes to enjoy the water a little while longer.

“I suppose you don’t have to if you don’t want to,” he murmurs.

“Not until dawn,” Things were always left in capable hands or else he would never leave at all.

If he couldn’t at least steal always moments like these...

Opening his eyes again he watched Kell slide closer, “Miss me already?”
