[Akechi is a little longer in the shower, because of course he is, but he does watch Ren leave. He really does seem so remarkably carefree, even in a situation such as this. It's too easy to think about the time they spent together before all hell broke loose, when they went to the bathhouse together on Sojiro's recommendation and Akechi spilled his sad excuse for a backstory while they soaked.
He closes his eyes and exhales through his nose as he finally washes the conditioner out. Well. At least he's already done that once and won't have to suffer through it again.
Finally satisfied, he enters the bath after Ren, neatly folding his towel as he gets in across from him. In spite of himself, he can feel his muscles relaxing in the warm water, memories of his childhood mingling with the pleasant time he'd spent with Ren in the past.
Then a fish brushes against his calf, and he yelps, reflexively kicking at it.]
