So Rosen took another nap.

[Kaliko]

When Rosen woke up, it sounded like Long was in the shower. But the box seemed pretty much done. It was simpler than his other two designs, but it was very sleek. He had wrapped it in several pieces of black leather that overlapped with a red leader oblong triangle piece of leather peaking through on the top and several red and green jems scattered throughout the cracks of leather. He had also added a small leather loop to the front of the box to open it. When the lid was flipped open, the entire interior of the box was covered in a mesh of red lace.

[Rinrou]

And so a totally excited Rosen kicked the door in just the right place and it burst open to Long in the shower. "It's amazing!" he shouted to Long with a grin.

[Kaliko]

The steam made it difficult to see, but Long's figure was in the glass shower. There was a small crash as something Long was holding hit the ground. Then Long seemed to slip a little and there was another small bang as he fell.

[Rinrou]

"Whoa! Are you okay?" Rosen asked as he reached for and pulled back the door. That's when Long could see he was really worried.

[Kaliko]

Long was crouched on the ground holding his head with one of his hands, but it didn't look like he had injured himself too badly. "... Fine," he replied quickly, still in a bit of a daze.

On the ground was a small hand-held anti-fog mirror which thankfully hadn't broken. There was still evidence of many of his injuries, but he was defiantly mending up well. Though he'd probably be left with a few scars.

[Rinrou]

Rosen quickly grabbed a towel before turning off the water and stepping into the shower. "Sorry..." he muttered wrapping the towel around Long, "Didn't mean to scare you that bad. Guess I didn't think you were the jumpy type," he explained as he rubbed Long's shoulders.

[Kaliko]

Long was still a little dazed as he shook his head a little. He moved his hands to move Rosen's hands. And as he took his hand off his head, it revealed a small, ugly colored ribbon tied around a small lock of Long's hair. It looked like he had taken it from the crafting table. "I'm fine," Long repeated.

[Rinrou]

Rosen blinked at the ribbon before smirking a little, "Yeah... you're so gay," he agreed before reached forward and swiping some of the hair out of Long's face.

[Kaliko]

Long tried to brush Rosen away again a little before suddenly realizing what Rosen meant. Immediately his face paled and he looked petrified, not that Rosen had seen him naked, but that Rosen had seen the ribbon. He was too terrified to move, looking completely helpless for the first time.

[Rinrou]

Rosen blinked, "Hey..." he whispered, tucking the hair behind Long's ear, "It's totally okay." After a slight pause he leaned forward and wrapped his arms around Long, "I won't ever judge you," he promised quietly.

[Kaliko]

Long flinched as Rosen touched him, starting to shake a little as he tried to acknowledge the fear.

[Rinrou]

Rosen didn't let go, "No one will hurt you here," he stated firmly, "And if anyone mocks you or your orientation again, I'll seduce them and make them miserable for the remainder of their miserable lives," he spat, darkly serious.

[Kaliko]

Long didn't say anything, still shaking slightly. After another few moments he reached up to his head to take the ribbon out.

[Rinrou]

Rosen caught Long's hand and pulled away enough to look at Long, "I think it looks nice," he stated, "It's nothing to be ashamed of."

[Kaliko]

Long swallowed a little before slowly daring to look up at Rosen, still looking ashamed.
