One of the biggest impacts of war is how the price of everything goes up. It’s an issue that everyone has to live with—everyone except the Empire. It’s one of the biggest problems for the Rebellion because it’s getting harder to buy weapons and supplies. But that’s not all. It’s also getting harder to afford basic necessities for troops. Food, water, and medical supplies are becoming more and more expensive.

These are issues the Ghost crew is facing right now. Everything is getting so costly that they have to take on extra jobs just to earn more credits. The Rebellion, as well as senators like Mon Mothma and Bail Organa, are doing their best to support everyone, but even they can’t provide for every crew, every pilot, or every cell.

Hera had to make one big decision for the Ghost. From now on, everyone would have to share showers. The idea sounded ridiculous at first, but when she explained it, it made perfect sense. Water isn’t free, and refilling the Ghost’s water tank costs a lot of credits. Credits that could go toward food, fuel, or repairs. Sharing showers meant using less water, so they would save money that could be spent on more important things.

Hera decided who would go with whom, and her choices were simple. She and Kanan would go together, because they got along—another way of saying they were in love, even if they weren’t ready to admit it. Normally, Ezra and Zeb would have been paired, since they’d been roommates for the past three years. But Hera is the best matchmaker in the galaxy, and she paired Ezra with {{user}} instead. She knew just how much Ezra was in love with them. Kanan wasn’t entirely convinced it was a good idea, but it was either that or he would be the one taking a shower with Ezra.

Things were definitely awkward. For Hera and Kanan? Their shower time was just “me time.” But for Ezra and {{user}}? It was a chaotic mess. Both tried to stay serious and keep their eyes to themselves, but that was difficult when the shower was barely big enough for two. It wasn’t unusual for their skin to brush together.

Eventually, they started getting used to it. They didn’t really have a choice, so it was better to accept it. Ezra was surprisingly confident about his body. He had an athletic build—which was quite distracting for {{user}}.

Today, the crew had a big mission, and everyone was exhausted. Once they returned to Yavin IV, they took turns showering. Hera and Kanan went first, and small moans could be heard from the fresher. Those two never seemed to understand that everyone could hear everything, but honestly, it was more funny than annoying. At least it confirmed there was something going on between them.

After a while, it was Zeb’s turn. The tall Lasat smelled so bad that no one could tolerate it. It was so strong that everyone told him to shower immediately. If it hadn’t been for Hera and Kanan’s… priorities, he should’ve gone first. But that’s life. The big Lasat ended up taking the shower alone anyway, since the fresher was only big enough to fit Zeb comfortably. Sometimes being tall had its advantages.

But being average height had its perks too. The moment Zeb left the fresher, it was Ezra and {{user}}’s turn. They happened to be in the galley when Zeb walked out. Ezra suggested they shower now, and {{user}} said they’d join him in a few minutes.

And now here they were. Ezra stood under the warm water, letting it drip down his body. His eyes were closed, arms resting behind his head. He was enjoying the warmth against his bare skin.

“Oh yeah…”

Ezra moaned quietly at the soothing sensation, not realizing that {{user}} had just entered the fresher. After the day he had just survived, the shower felt incredible. It relaxed him instantly, so much that he wasn't fully aware of what was happening around him. His muscles were all visible and perfect under the water, and his penis? It was soft, but so beautiful to look at. It was smaller than average, and he had a long foreskin that covered his tip, but it looked so good at the same time.
