Lucien chuckled. "Mm, only if you're sure." He replied, leaning against the doorframe.

"Absolutely positive." Aki replies with a small smile, wagging his finger in an inviting manner.

Lucien smirked a little, and closed the door. "Alright then." He replied with a soft chuckle. He reached up and took out the two small braids in his hair, setting his hair ties on the counter.

Aki started a bath, making sure if was warm water, and bubbly. His ears twitched a little as he waited for the tub to fill with the warm water.

He also set the crown down. "By the way, if you want to make it a bubble bath, the supplies are right there." He pointed at a bottle sitting by the tub.

Aki looks over and grabs the bubble bath supplies a childish smile on his lips. "Wonderful."

He chuckled, smiling. "Don't use too much, I don't want to drown in bubbles. That would be embarrassing."

Aki pouts before nodding and smiling a little. "No problem." He puts it away after a moment and sighs happily.

Lucien watched him with a slight smile on his lips. I wonder if…

Aki hums before looking up and beams at Lucien. "No peeking." He giggles softly before undressing and slipping into the water. A blissful moan exits his lips as his muscles relaxed in the warm water.

Lucien laughed, obediently closing his eyes and turning away. "You good now?" He asked, chuckling quietly.

"All good!" Aki calls, laughing softly. "Come and join me." he says happily as he relaxes into the tub.

Lucien chuckled. "Alright. You don't get to peek either." He pulled off his shirt, and undressed, before climbing into the tub. He let out a soft sigh, leaning against the edge of it contentedly.

He smiled gently and hides his eyes. He looked rather pleased as he felt the water shift. He looks up and smiles before slowly opening his eyes. He smiled warmly as his ears twitched happily.

He smiled back, stretching. The water came up to his mid torso, due to the way he was slouching in the water. He submerged his head, soaking his hair, then came back up. His dark hair stuck to his head, sticking up a little bit and dripping water down his skin.

Aki giggles softly and washes his hair happily, looking rather pleased with himself. He sighed softly and looked down, playing with the bubbles. He looks at him happily, before sighing quietly. "This feels wonderful." He mutters quietly.

Lucien smiled at him. "Oh, good." He replied, leaning back against the wall of the tub. It was a rather large one, thankfully, although there still wasn't much room for the both of them.

Aki nods and sighs happily, relaxing into the water. He looked over to the other. "This is nice." He giggles softly.

Lucien nodded, looking over at him. "Mhm. I'd be skinned alive if I was caught doing this, but hey, what's life without a little risk?" He grinned teasingly. He wouldn't really be skinned alive, of course. Just maybe in a little trouble.

He chuckles quietly, "why's that?" He asks curiously, his head tilting rather cutely as one ear perked up, the other flattening against his head. He seemed rather happy and relaxed as the warm water seeped into the marrow of his bones.

Lucien exhaled softly. "Mm. Because I barely know you, you're magic, you're male…" He shrugged. "List goes on and on." He chuckled softly. "I have a lot of rules governing my life, though, so at this point…" He shrugged carelessly. "Doesn't matter."

Aki chuckles. "The only rules I have known are from my master and from magic." he says quietly. "As for being with a man, my master has explained to me that love is not a choice. If you love someone, even if the world tells you it is wrong, you should trust your gut feeling." He says softly. He grins at the other. "But, I have to admit. I never saw myself sharing a tub with the prince."

Lucien nodded, then smiled back. "And I never saw myself sharing a tub with…anyone, to be honest." He chuckled softly. "Reason I'm not supposed to be with another guy is because I have to marry a woman so that there's an heir to carry on the line." He shrugged a little.

Aki listened intently, his electric blue eyes shining with curiosity. "But… You could marry a man, and adopt an heir…" He says softly. "In town, there are orphanages…. Many children do not have families…. I should know." he says softly, washing out his hair. The orphanage is where his master found him. It was a dreary place. Cold and cruel, the children miserable. "Why can you not do that instead?"

Lucien shook his head. "Doesn't work like that. Not for my family. The child has to be related by blood. If I had…If René was still alive, it wouldn't be as much of an issue, but…" He shrugged. René had been his younger brother, who had died two years ago at eight years old. "I would do that, if I was allowed. But I'm not." He caught what Aki was hinting at, that the other male himself had been from an orphanage, and wasn't sure what to say.
