harry holds the shaving gel squirted onto his palm up to his nose and takes a small whiff. "this is new?"

mia looks over at him. she looks silly with all the bubbles around her, but what alarms him are her tired eyes. "yes."

her answer is so short and clipped, he doesn't push her any further. "okay," he simply says. he's sitting across from her, his own body surrounded by bubbles, but she just looks cuter. her hair is in a bun and her face make up free. he wants to kiss her until his lips leave indents on her skin.

he reaches for her leg underwater and perches it up on the edge of the tub. with a quick dip of her safety under the water, he wets it enough to make it comfortable and warm and then rubs the gel onto her leg.

he lathers her leg up nicely, rubbing the gel into the hairs on her leg, paying close attention to her knees and ankles. he knows those are problem areas. he's heard her complain about it enough times.

he starts at her ankles, her foot flat against his chest as he drags the razor against the growth of her hair, intently making sure he's not making any cuts or causing razor bumps. with every swipe, he dips the safety razor into a small basin of water on the other side of the bathtub to remove the hair. then, he returns back to her and continues.

"so soft," he murmurs, running his fingers over wherever he shaves. "i love it."

she rests her head back, watching him take care of her. he nicks her once and glances up at her to apologize, but instead catches a glimpse of her teary eyes and wobbling her lip.

"fuck, i'm sorry. i'll try harder." he glances back down and tries his best to make sure its a smooth glide. of course, the nicks are unavoidable, but they don't hurt.

however, when he glances up, one tear's rolling down her face.

"what's the matter? that one hurt?"

she shakes her head. "no," she sniffles. "just...i like this. i like you doing this. thank you." his thumb rubs the newly shaves area around her shin. "y'always know how to take care of me."

"of course i do," he says quietly, dipping her leg into the water to clean her off before bringing her ankle back up to her shoulder, latching it there. he turns his head to kiss her ankle. "i always do."
