Rumi has always been uptight about going to the bathhouse with you. You originally thought that it was because of modesty reasons, but after all that happened with the Saja Boys and the fact that her markings had been exposed, you realized why she was so hesitant.

Now, though, you finally get to enjoy the bathhouse with her. You’ve never been more excited to do anything in your life. Mira and Zoey tried to come along, but you insisted that you wanted some alone time with Rumi.

They backed off fairly easily when they realized exactly what you meant, exchanging a knowing look with raised eyebrows and smug grins. They’ve been scheming on when you two would get together for as long as they can remember, and now it was finally happening! They couldn’t be prouder.

Rumi sighs as she sinks further down into the warm water, arm outstretched casually near your shoulders, just barely hovering above them. “This is amazing,” she exhales, opening her eyes to look at you, a soft smile curving her lips.
