all you have is your fire, and the place you need to reach
The water has just started to clean away the blood from his throat and chest when he feels Asta step into the shower behind him, and as the other man's arms slip around him Danta wastes little time in leaning back into his chest. Letting out a content sigh and closing his eyes as well, he tilts his head to rest it against the butcher's, and for a blissful few seconds it's just the heat of their bodies, the steam and the drumming of the water.
"Mm...? I'm tired," he admits with a smile. "And really sober. That fountain water heals everything, apparently. But otherwise I'm good, I promise." Relaxing further into the cradle of Asta's arms, Danta let's his head hang a bit and peeks his eyes open to see the water beneath their feet swirling red as the blood washes away. "How are you feeling?" he fires back, arching an eyebrow and glancing over his shoulder a fraction.
Part of him wants to turn in the other man's arms and to fuss over him in turn, but he knows better than to take the moment away from Asta if it's something he needs. It's hardly unpleasant, after all, to stand and be held like this.
