Wash the dirt off your body first.

You tell Mirajane that you were going to take a quick shower before you tackled the main hall, asking her to not start without you. She replies with another warm smile before promising not to clean the main hall until you were ready. When you reach the showers, you notice there’s only one, indicating it’s a mixed-gender shower, and you can’t help but imagine what it’d be like of Mirajane decided to take a shower too, but catch yourself before you sport a hard-on, which would make a rather odd scene if there was anyone else in there, although the lack of any sounds from running water suggest you’ll be the only one showering at this time of night.

You take off your shirt and pants and put them in a box and throw in a lacrima crystal to clean them up while you take your shower. You quickly remove your boxers and place them in a locker next to the box, which now has the words “In Use” flashing in red above the box, while replacing your boxers with a towel out of modesty. You enter the shower furthest from the door and start running warm water as you hang your towel up.

You spend a few minutes just enjoying the warm water against your skin and for the first time in awhile feel incredibly relaxed. Before you know it, you begin humming an old lullaby Akasha use to sing to you when you had trouble sleeping when you were younger. When you realized what you were humming, you were surprised you still remembered it, but didn’t stop and just continued humming the lullaby.

As you replayed the lullaby from the beginning, you apply some shampoo to your hair and begin scrubbing through some of the mats and tangles since the last time you could afford some shampoo. Eventually you get most of your hair under control and place your head under the showerhead to wash it out. While you continue humming, you fail to notice that someone else has entered the showers and is preparing to enter the stall you’re currently occupying.
