The trouble with planning to not have plans was that, inevitably, it left Krem feeling like he ought to make plans anyway. He'd settled on making the barest plans that he could comfortably suffer while still calling the whole thing an act of relative spontaneity. They had, after all, planned the time together; they'd made sure their schedules were free of work or other obligations, had told their other friends they would be otherwise occupied, and promised each other the time. Neither of them were known for their ability to suffer idleness well, so Krem knew there would be at least one outing. Structured spontaneity. That sounded quite good.

So, he came with a small overnight bag, since they had discussed that option briefly and he liked that potential, the learning of being in Thomas's space for that long--but, more importantly, it had his running shoes in it--and with a large box full of a myriad variety of Chinese foods because he felt that a lie in was obligated to have food that they didn't really have to clean up after.

He'd texted Thomas to let him know that he was on his way after he'd picked up the food, and--grateful that there were no more animals loose in the streets--he headed there presently.

"It would be pretty nice to not be as nervous or insecure about things," Thomas mumbled, sighing and shutting his eyes. "I'll take your word for it."

When it came to other people, other people who cared about him, he wanted to be something other than cruel and hated. He didn't want to be someone that people saw in a dream and remembered with fear or hate. He wanted to be better.

"You're old," Thomas quipped, shifting away and wincing at the chill in the room and the stickiness on his legs. He could have done without all that.

"I don't care about that," Thomas said, coming back to himself quicker than usual. Maybe it was the tone of Krem's voice or the chill shocking him back into focus but he didn't end up too far in his head this time.

Shame replaced pleasure, shame at being so self absorbed and selfish and he winced, sitting up.

"I don't care how old you care, I don't care," he reiterated fiercely. "I just want you to...to like being with me. I know you're not expecting anything out of me. I still want to be good."

"All right," Thomas said, nodding at Krem's words. He believed Krem, believed everything even if a part of him, dark and shriveled part of him knew he didn't deserve that kind of thing. Sometimes, like right now, it was easy to ignore that part of himself.

Other times, it was all he could hear.

"Do you want to shower or would you rather me just a few towels?" Thomas asked, sliding carefully to the edge of the bed so he wouldn't make an even bigger mess than he'd already made.

"Okay," Thomas said quietly. He was nervous only because this would be another first: a first shower with someone else. It'd be total nakedness with someone else and while he absolutely didn't mind, he was still shy about it.

Thomas stood up and shucked his shirt off before finally getting his shorts down the rest of the way. They'd gotten tangled up around his knees when they'd been on the bed and he was glad to be free of them and blushing now that he was bare.

His body was mostly scar free but there were still marks from the Griever injections dotting his skin every so often. Remnants of the Changing from so long ago. "I'd like to shower with you."

"Your tattoo looks good," Thomas said, reaching up and tracing one finger lightly over the design. The tattoo had been healing when he'd last seen it and he'd been too shy to really look closely.

Now though, he was close enough to see all the detail there and he leaned closer until his nose nearly touched Krem's skin to get a better look at it.

The water slicking down his body made his finger glide smoothly and eventually he stopped tracing the tattoo and let his fingers slide over Krem's shoulder and down along the hard ridge of his collar bone.

"Any ideas on what other ones you want?" Thomas asked, keeping his hand on Krem's collarbone and closing his eyes. The water wasn't hitting him as much as it was Krem since Krem's body was acting as almost a shield but he didn't mind.

"I don't think I'd ever want any," he sighed, leaning his cheek against Krem's back, right over the tattoo. "I like them and I like your tattoo but I don't know if I'd ever find one I like enough to get put on my body."

Thomas made a quiet noise of protest at being moved but didn't fight against it. He turned his face up to the spray and pushed his hair of his face when the water pushed it down and closer to his eyes.

"I think it'd make me too visible if I ever were to get back home," he said thoughtfully. "I'm not trying to go back, I know I can't, but if I ever do, it's something that Cranks and WICKED and anyone could identify me by and we need to stay hidden as much as we can."

Thomas closed his eyes and let the spray hit him in the face and sluice down his shoulders and body. He sighed, feeling warm and comfortable with the warm water and Krem's warm skin pressed against him.

"I don't know what I was like before everything," he murmured even if Krem knew that. "Maybe I was all about tattoos and just wasn't old enough to get them. People already know my face back home. WICKED, Gladers, everyone. I like being here and people not recognizing me. I like being in the background."

"I do have a lot of those," Thomas agreed, glancing back over his shoulder at Krem and smiling. He'd never paid that much attention to them but now, when all he was aware of was being naked, he could see the moles and freckles dotting his shoulder, chest, arms and legs.

He knew there were more on his back but he couldn't see those. He just sighed and leaned back against Krem, deciding to take advantage of his closeness. "Are you clean? Do you wanna get out or should we stay here?"

"That didn't answer my question," Thomas said which he guessed had been the point. He braced a hand against the shower wall and bowed his head, letting the water slide down his back and to the floor of the shower.

"We should probably get out before I use all the hot water and fall asleep in here," he mumbled. He was comfortable and pleasantly drained after all the activities earlier.

"Okay," Thomas mumbled against Krem's lips, nodding slightly. Amazingly, his insecurities and doubts had fled and while that could have been because kissing was something he was confident about, he was glad nonetheless.

"I'm really tired," he admitted with a laugh and a shake of his head. He didn't know if it was the two orgasms or the mental exhaustion he put himself through but he was too tired to really figure it out.

"You're staying," he said. Krem had already spoken like he was staying but Thomas wanted it reiterated.
