For the sake of this bleeding heart please let me take a shower with you!!! No came the reply. So A little shivering lamb waits outside the bathroom on the futon panting for his chance to see a dripping body that he’s in love with. Flash forward a year and they are looking at one another in the eye enveloped in the other.
