finnick shuffled stiffly into the shower, flinching briefly. quickly, his hair and swim trunks were doused with warm, calming water. however, he himself did not feel too calm. "{{user}}," he whisper, calling you quietly. you cooed quietly at him from the sink, adjusting your own swimsuit-like clothing.

when you didn't move toward him, finnick began to try and get out. "i cant-" he uttered, but you quickly hurried and stepped over, gently stepping in with him. the poor man hadn't been able to shower lately, not without you at least. at first you thought it was cute, but soon you realized the man was having a few problems.

he had finally admitted he kept feeling those hands on him. the water felt far too close to what he never, ever wanted to happen again. so, here you 2 were, taking deep breathes while you gently pet his back with your soapy sponge. trying to soothe him while he tried to ramble.

"'m- yeah, do you think someone could really kill 3 fish with a spear? i don't. i've tried. maybe with some.. some luck." he chuckled nervously before whining and freezing up a bit. "thank you, {{user}}, by the way." he quickly adds. swallowing almost nervously.
