There’s enough acapella guitar riffs to make a compilation video of, something the former gangster would have done if he had remembered to turn his phone recorder on. As it was, he’s actually being properly attentive to washing. Snooping around the shower to see what all she was using. Nice shampoos, other things, uhuh. He sees. Yes. That could be used as ammunition. Unfortunately, there was nothing specifically dirty that he could see and bring up teasingly once he was out.
Doing so would sure run well with his mindset of being an ‘idiot’. After rinsing his hair out, borrowing a comb to throw it forward after it was whipped back, the water is shut off and… yeah, that is predicament. There wasn’t a towel here. But there was a knock. Had Mei remembered too. He smirks, opening the door to see her staring away.
“I’m not gonna catch a cold in a steamy bathroom. But I appreciate you worrying about me, cutie.” He stands there for a moment not doing anything, then finally snatches the towel to throw over his head. He does not in fact close the door behind him. What a night. What a goddamn night. To think it’d end up like this after some playful texting. Should he thank his forwardness, or Mei’s evening drinking? He’s thankful, that’s what matters even if it doesn’t show as well as it should. It wouldn’t hurt to turn down the cocky smugness a few levels and appreciate her like a proper companion.
Forgive him for being excited. Feelings being requited and all.
When he does emerge he’s back wearing the same clothes as before, it wasn’t like he had spares on him. And Mei wouldn’t (yet) appreciate him wandering around in just the towel. Arms are opened wide in presentation once he’s back in the living room.
“Am I presentable for you now, my lady? I’m ready for my inspection.”
She’ll never get used to being called any name but her own, this she will have to accept yet it doesn’t stop her from averting her eyes, brows furrowed with a slight pout. At least now she’s sobered up enough and fully conscious of this night. Unfortunately but like this she won’t have to go on a grueling journey with a terrible hangover trying to find some answers. Luckily for Wylan that despite this bespectacled beauty’s behaviour on the daily, her skills in taking care of others is a nice surprise though she won’t mention the thought of imagining him as a younger sibling for a moment made it easier.
“Yes, yes it’s fine. I didn’t really expect to have you here for longer than a minute to be honest. I kind of think it’s a bad idea of letting you stay, um, come here and sit on the floor.” Mei was trying very hard not to just run her hands down his torso in awe.
As quick as she left, Mei returns with another dry towel before resting on the sofa. What a night for her visitor to be sat in between her legs though the towel is covering his head before any conversation starts. She may or may not be violently drying his hair.
“I never thought I’d ever do this to anyone let alone you. Whether or not you stay it’s not good to walk around with your hair all wet. You’ll drip water on the floor and if you lay down then all the moisture is going to smell and ruin any furniture. You better remember this when you move, you hear me?”
It felt all too fast, too much stuff being hurled at them with little remorse at least in Mei’s eyes that was the case. A confession, a job change, moving out of the country; as someone who always looked on the negatives it was a shot in the dark and Mei was worried to what she got him into. It’s Mei after all and as her hands relaxed, those feelings of insecurities rose.
“Maybe...Maybe you should go home for the night? Perhaps we are moving too fast and I’m sorry for roping you into all of this. We’ve already said what we needed to say, right? Haha....” A halfhearted chuckle but it sounded more tired than anything else. “I’m sorry I’m overthinking it, aren’t I? But what if I’m not? You’re moving and I’m just here. I’ve never really felt this about anyone so don’t make fun of me!"
