He watched him sort of intently for a few seconds before slipping back to being easy and relaxed, and smiling back. "Thank you, for that." He meant it.

[youngesthokage]

"Nothing to thank me for Obito-nii-sama." It was a low murmur, and he smiled softly.

[mooneye]

Who had ever been this kind to him? Nobody, he thought. Not out of fondness. He shook his head and smiled, letting Itachi go and stepping back. He glanced down at the bathtub. "I'll just be a minute. If you're sure you don't want to wash up first."

[youngesthokage]

He shook his head slightly. "I've gotten into the habit of soaking recently."

[mooneye]

"Fair enough." And he bent and slid over the edge of the tub and into the water himself. It was nicely warm, but he was planning to linger or relax particularly. Just scrub clean quick and efficient.

[youngesthokage]

He moved back a few steps, turning to set about stripping. If he was going to bathe as well, no point in waiting around. He made sure there were enough towels.

[mooneye]

Obito didn't quite notice at first. He was pulling his fingers through his hair, sorting the tangles into manageable locks when he glanced sideways. He went very still, just watching.

thought I replied to this o.o

[youngesthokage]

He was rather shameless, seeing no cause to be modest. The soft swell of his belly was clearer, this way, but by no means overly obvious if someone wasn't looking for it, his body still having the clearly defined muscle that even a typical kunoichi would have if she was any kind of decent hand to hand fighter. Still, the change of gender really didn't register fully with him in times like this, and he instead just moved to put the clothes away for later washing as he set up his towels.

no prob!

[mooneye]

He watched him. Curious. Any lingering doubts he'd had about the whole gender situation evaporated. That was a totally female body. He began to slowly wash his hair again but did not quite look away.

[youngesthokage]

Finally finished with that entire set up process, he moved over to perch himself nearby to watch Obito's progress. "Do you ever brush your hair?"

[mooneye]

"Only like this." He parted a last snag in it and scooped water up over his face, effectively scrubbing down from there to his neck, his shoulders and arms.

[youngesthokage]

"....No wonder it looks like that. I had been genuinely uncertain if that was just coarse spiking or tangles." He leaned forward, taking a wet lock between his fingers. "I hadn't -thought- you had coarse hair, and you don't."

[mooneye]

He watched him fingering the long, wet piece of hair. "Nah." He smiled and shook his head, and kept scrubbing clean more slowly, finishing up. "There's just a lot of it, and it gets mashed up like that."

[youngesthokage]

He frowned, then moved so he was perched on the edge of the tub instead so he could start picking through the tangles. "If you have it you should take better care of it Obito-nii-sama."

[mooneye]

He stilled, looking over his shoulder to see what Itachi was doing and then relaxing.

[youngesthokage]

"We'll give it a proper brushing after this, I have one." He frowned as he realized that he was rather awkwardly braced on the tub edge and then just slid into the water, satisfied when ti made it that much easier to get at the other man's hair.

[mooneye]

He looked back again, a little surprised, but moved to make their new position more comfortable. Not too difficult. It was a big, deep tub. He waited a moment and then leaned forward enough to pull the faucet back on. Might as well fill it higher and hotter.

[youngesthokage]

Itachi let him do what he pleased, as he'd rather invited himself in honestly, but his hair! Obito's poor hair desperately needed the attention and the bath was the easiest place to handle the majority of the tangling.

[mooneye]

He was enjoying the attention, resting with elbows on knees and arms folded, head leaning forward a bit as he just paid attention to the murmur of the water from the tap and tugging and tickling of the fingers working through his hair. He had let it get longer than he realized--he hadn't stopped to notice much about it in a while.

"...Do you brush yours often?"

[youngesthokage]

"Every day when I'm not on a mission or something similar." It was a murmur as he carefully worked his fingers through the strands. "This has to hit your knees untangled."

[mooneye]

"Is it that long...?" He glanced over his shoulder again, frowning at it. Hard to tell. He turned to sit straight again. "Every day seems like a little much."

going to bed before I tip out of my chair now g'night

[youngesthokage]

"If your hair were still as short as when I was a child. Yes."

Good idea--good night!

[mooneye]

"Well, how was I supposed to know?" That made him smile. He reached again for the faucet and turned the water off, judging the tub filled enough.

[youngesthokage]

"I know you've never actually been stupid Obito-nii." His tone was a scold, and he huffed softly.

[mooneye]

"Hmph. Well, let's keep that between you and me. You have no idea how useful being thought of as an idiot when you aren't can be." He waited until he thought Itachi had more or less finished with his hair and then shifted and turned. "Slide in front of me," he suggested.
