[C] Some Assembly Required

Amr took another right turned into a corridor just as long and metallic as the other. Although... it did look familiar?

"It is this room, I think?"

He pressed his hand on a scanner and peered into it. Only it was full of... Instruments? There was one that kinda looked like a piano. And another that looked like a cello with too many strings.

He closed the door, disappointed.

"Nope. Check on the other side and I will keep going down on this one."

Ti skittered off to the closest door and pressed his hand to the scanner.

It read his palm, then glowed red, denying him access.

His palm hadn't been fed into the system. He wouldn't be able to get into any closed door.

Amr glanced over at Ti and let out a little huff. Now it was going to take double the time.

"Okay, you stand there and look cute while I check every room."

So he did. Placing his hand on each scanner then and peeking into the rooms. It seemed to be the right corridor. They all had recreational purposes. (One scanner did refuse him access. Ileft him strongly curious what could possibly be locked up in there that was for recreational purposes.)

Ironically, it was the scanner that denied Ti that was the steam room.

He looked down at Ti, lips stretching into a wide grin.

"Guests first."

Ti's cheeks puffed out a little when Amr told him to just stand and look pretty, but he didn't make a comment. He just watched Amr as he checked each room.

And when they found the steam room, he beamed.

He stepped into the room first, looking around to get a feel of the room.

Like the rest of the castle, it was designed like the rest of it in what he called: the Altean aesthetic. Sharp and basic. Yet surprisingly pleasing on the eyes.

It also took him off guard to find that it was set out similar to a lot of the spas back home. The main floor was octagon in shape, with five of the walls leading off to different rooms. Two of which he assumed were changing rooms. The other three being a steam room, a sauna and... He too sure what the third would be.

And in the centre was a small but deep pool.

"Huh. I was expecting something more... Weird?"

Ti shrugged and slipped his skirt from his hips.

Two quick steps and he was at the edge of the pool. He drove gracefully into the pool, enjoying the feeling of the cool water against his skin.

He swam around under the water for a few moments before surfacing.

"Shall we go check out the steam room?"

As soon as Ti undressed, Amr was very quick to undress himself. Dumping his armour next to Ti's cloths. After struggling with it.

He jumped in with less grace. A string of Arabic curses left his lips as soon as he resurfaced.

"I didn't realise it would be this cold!" He hissed.

Swiftly, he pulled himself out of it. Teeth chattering and arms wrapped around his arms. That was a freezing compared to the ones back home. He was sure Ti should of broke ice with how cool it was.

"Yes. Let's. Right now."

He made a guess and entered the closest one.

Ti giggled at Amr's suffering and sent a wave of water at him as he jumped towards the steam room.

He did slip out of the water immediately after and pad after him.

His arms slid around Amr's chest from behind, fingers stroking down the centre of his chest. He pressed a couple kisses to Amr's shoulder.

Another little hiss slipped between his lips.

"Fuck - Ti!"

Normally, he didn't mind. There were blankets to cuddle under, he wasn't worried about almost freezing to death, and Ti was never this cold before. Even jumping into that pool himself couldn't prepare him.

He didn't push him off, not wanting to hurt him. Instead he tried to grit his teeth and try to bare it. Looking around the new room that resembled a steam room. That they needed to get starting. Right now.

He giggled again, thoroughly amused by Amr's total lack of love for the cold.

"You don't even like the cold a little bit?" He questioned, hands sliding upwards to check the evidence for himself.

His cool, wet fingertips circled Amr's nipples slowly as he pressed another kiss to his shoulder.

He jerked with a gasp. Body unsure whether to push into or pull away from the icy fingers. Nipples hard and sensitive under them.

"You are being cruel," he whined.

He squirmed out of Ti's hold, unable to stand it any more. Zipping over to another small control panel flat on the wall - the only thing that was alien about it. He looked it over, humming.

That was a definite yes. He filed that away for future use.

When Amr moved over to the control panel, Ti took a seat on one of the benches in the room.

The benches were nice and wide, and tiered, each bench a good two foot above the last.

The controls came to life under his hand. The only problem: it was in Altean.

He toyed around with it. Making some educated guesses: Blue being on, red being off. There were a few other multicoloured choices in different shapes. They could be different insences, he wondered? He decided not to play around with them, incase he accidentally chose a toxic one. He put it up to a temperature that he hoped wouldn't cook them and made his way back over to Ti.

He cautiously settled down next to the alien. He lifted his an arm around his shoulder, with as minimal skin to skin contact as possible. Even though, already, he wasn't as cold as he was. The floor warm under his feet as it steamed up fast.

Ti had no qualms about the cold, and was happy to curl up against Amr's side when he sat down.

He nuzzled against the man, enjoying Amr's heat. His fingers pressed into Amr's ribs to leach more heat from him.

Amr was so warm.

"Ti!"

He squirmed a little. The room was heating up around them and yet he was still cold. Gooseflesh prickling along his arms. He guessed he could be glad he wasn't freezing anymore, and worry about every limb dropping off.

"I feel like I am turning into your personal heater."

"You are." When Amr was this warm, he was going to take advantage of it, plain and simple.

He nuzzled against Amr's chest and tilted his head so he could smile up at him disarmingly. He could probably get away with murder with that smile.
