"Mhm, just like this." Crozier lays a towel over his legs and eases Raju's head back into his lap. It's not just an excuse to cradle his face or gaze at him adoringly, but he certainly doesn't mind the added benefits of proximity.
The water's still warm as Crozier wets his hand and pushes it through Raju's thick head of hair. It'll take more time this way, but there’s less of a risk of freezing him out entirely. He doesn't mind taking his time with the process, and he doesn't think Raju'll complain either way.
"All right?" His fingers find their way down of his scalp and move in gentle, little circles. Even if his words didn’t quite accomplish what he’d intended, he hopes Raju will see the sincerity in him and his actions. Raju bared himself entirely, and he accepts - more than accepts, but loves as any lifelong friend might.
