Tears In the Shower

[Rumpelstiltskin/Mr. Gold]

Gold had his back to Abi, doing what he could to note think about it. In the back of his mind he though if he had married her already it could be quite fun, though he knew also that with her set of mind it would not be greatly sporting if she was not into the idea. So he sat & waited, doing everything he could to think of other things then, Abi & what she was doing.

Abi tried to relax after she had gotten into the shower. She hissed at first at the feeling of the hot water on her skin but soon she got used to it and sighed. She could see his silhouette through the shower door and she watched him on and off as she washed.

Still it seemed that he was not close enough. She paused in her washing just to watch him. "Mr. Gold." She called now. "Talk to me?" Maybe that would help. She hurried to scrub her body and then reached around behind her head and felt the blood and the cut. She was going to have to wash her hair but she was sure this was going to hurt.

[Rumpelstiltskin/Mr. Gold]

Gold heard her words, he signed before he spoke "What would you care to eat when you get done?" He was not sure what to ask or say, he just was working not to ask the wrong things, to up set her & he was not really sure what would set her off & what would not. So he waited for her answer, in hopes it would bring up something he could ask about that would not upset her.

Of course he spoke on knowing likly what he ask she would be upset her "Do you think, you will want a doctor to cheek you over or the cut you have?"

[Belle/Lacey Gold]

"What would you care to eat when you get done?" He asked her now and Abi smiled softly. "Anything filling." She told him. "I'm starving. Have you eaten at all?" She asked suddenly realizing ho he must have been with her missing. Abi took shampoo and placed it in her hand before applying it to the top of her head.

She gingerly began trying to get through the knots without getting the soap in the wound. She had no doubt that would hurt. As it turned out, She was right, the water washed the shampoo down her head despite her attempts and instantly the soap got into her cut and burned. Abi whimpered biting her lip and then when she could take it no longer, she let out a wailed "Ow..." She gave a sob now tiring to wash the soap away but it hurt even more when she touched it.

[Rumpelstiltskin/Mr. Gold]

Gold heard her words, with her last one of ow with out thinking he looked in her direction "Are you alright Abi? Do you need help?" Where had that come form, great now he would sound like a jerk for asking if she wanted help in the shower. That was sure to look good, to her after all he had not a moment ago said he would keep his back to her & now he just broke it, how ever it did not change that if she said yes he would find himself bound to help her.

[Belle/Lacey Gold]

"Are you alright Abi? Do you need help?" She heard him asked and was surprised that he had not called her by her full first name as he normally did. "No I'm not okay." She told him. "It hurts." Did she need help. "Yes please." She told him now. It may be the shock talking but she did not care if he saw her naked right now. Her voice was soft though. She wiped water from her face and then moved to open the smoked glass shower door for him. She did not open it too much so she was not fully exposed right away. She waited for him to come to the door.

[Rumpelstiltskin/Mr. Gold]

Gold heard her words he moved to get up heading for shower, telling himself he would do no more then help her. When he was close he spoke "Let me see where you need my help & I will see what can be done" With that he waited for her to show him where, she was hurt & once he saw it he could tell how bad it was & if a doctor might need to be called early. If he had to help her he would, since there was a chance that she would need help that she could not do her self.

[Belle/Lacey Gold]

Abi watched as he stepped up to the shower. "Let me see where you need my help & I will see what can be done" He told her and Abi turned her back to him and pointed to the back of her head. Abi was fully aware that he rear was in plain view now but she did not think there was not much there to see anyways. She stood there for a few moments with he shower running and with the door open, she watched the water pool on the floor of the bathroom.

"This is not going to work." She told him now and then she turned quickly back towards him, took him by the lapel of his suit jacket and with one pull yanked him into the shower with her. Abi was not thinking of him getting wet until he was already getting soaked. She looked up at him now and watched the water run down his hair and face. "I'm sorry..." She said after a moment and then she had to chuckle. He looked so funny standing there fully clothed. She forgot about her head for just a moment and reached up on her toes to kiss him slowly. "Don't be mad." She asked and then turned her back to him again so he could look at her head once more.

[Rumpelstiltskin/Mr. Gold]

Gold had scene her back, he was starting to look over he cut when her words of not working out came out, as she turned around it surprised him since he did not really get the chance to close his eyes. And then as she grabbed the lapel of his suit jacket & he was quick to find himself in the show, he could not say that it was the best feeling to be soaked with his clothing on. He felt Abi words of being sorry, he was sure she was though she likely would laugh about it later. "I am not mad, surprise is a better word" He moved to look over the cut "It is not real deep, though I am sure you will be feeling if for a bit" He was as gentle as he could be to help free her hair form most the blood "There is a few items we can up on to keep it clean why, it heals"

[Belle/Lacey Gold]

"I am not mad, surprised is a better word" He told her and then Abi felt his fingers on her head. She tried not to make any sound of pain as he examined the wound. "It is not real deep, though I am sure you will be feeling if for a bit" Abi said nothing. Her hands gripped each other as he began to held her clean her hair back there.

She was trying to be brae and she forced himself to focus on him standing there in his clothes in the water. It brought a smile to her face. "There is a few items we can up on to keep it clean while it heals" He continued. Abi nodded and when he was finished with her hair, she turned slowly now and then looked up at him.

Without thinking, she stepped closer to him and her arms went around his waist as her head moved to rest on his chest. "I shouldn't have left the door unlocked." She said softly now. "You've told me a thousand times..." She had so many thoughts on her mind. "I brought this on and I'm sorry for that." She stood there naked and pressed up against him not wanting to move.

[Rumpelstiltskin/Mr. Gold]

He was surprised as she turned to face him walking closer to him, until she wrapped her arms around his waist. At her words he spoke "It is not your fault, the men likely broke in... I will see to it that such a thing is not likely to happen again" If someone did, they would have to be good at locks. "He worked hard not to think about it, but even with his clothing on he could feel her body against his to well.

"If you do not need me, any more I can leave why you get dressed & we can tend to your cut when it is a bit drier" He would work on making food something simple, perhaps a steep or pasta kind of soup.

[Belle/Lacey Gold]

Abi listened to him as he spoke. She nodded and remained where she was for a moment longer. But something was off. He was not touching her. He was not holding her. And she wanted that. Then she thought of exactly what she was doing and Abi blushed. She pulled away from him and then turned off the water and opened the shower door once more before speaking.

"I'm sorry I put you in that position." She told him now without looking at him. Abi was apologizing a lot lately but with all that happened, she was in the mind state where everything was her fault. She took a towel and wrapped it around herself before handing him one as well. She was still blushing as she turned in the mirror trying to see the back of her own head.

[Rumpelstiltskin/Mr. Gold]

"You have nothing to be sorry for, if you find you want to cuddle later, I will not stop you" Perhaps if would be diffrent under other things, but he knew if he touched her it could be the last thing he did before it got out of control. He moved out of the shower drying off some "I will go work on somthing to eat, why you finish up" Of course he was needing to change as well, but he was doing that in another room for that would only end badly & he did not want Abi to hate him.

[Belle/Lacey Gold]

"You have nothing to be sorry for, if you find you want to cuddle later, I will not stop you" He had told her and Abi almost retorted but bit her tongue. His words said one thing but his actions something different not that she could really blame him. "I will go work on something to eat, while you finish up" Gold continued and Abi nodded. She assumed that he would get the things he had mentioned for her head as well but did not ask.

Once he had left the room, Abi dried herself and then dressed in the clothes she had brought in here with her. She took her time not seeing much of a reason to rush and then stepped out of the bathroom. The shock seemed to be wearing off and now she was just angry at herself. But it had been a long and trying past few days for both of them. They just needed normality.

[Rumpelstiltskin/Mr. Gold]

He had leave Abi, to finish picking up the items he needed to tend to her cut, it would be wise to do it in a room with more light, so he would help her once it was dried a bit. He took the chance, to take off his shoes, tie & coat that where soaked threwing thew into a hamper, only when sure Abi was not be walking out did he move to chance the rest of his clothing, into some night clothing since it was not great fun to be wet, in such a way. Perhaps later it could be sceen as fun, but right now it was just he wanted to be dry & not feel like he was needing to change with Abi around.
