Melt

"This feels nice," I mumbled, sinking into the waters with a deep sigh. "Really nice." 

"I'm glad you think so." Altair chuckled, sitting beside me with his arms wrapped around my shoulder. "Are you in any pain, Orion? Does it hurt anywhere?" 

"No." I shook my head. Strangely, since I entered the waters, I have started to feel much better than I did before. I finally feel like I am getting better. 

"That's great." He held out a handful of the cherries from the trees in the hot springs. While trying to grab the cherries, he took my hand and pulled me closer to him, laying them on the edges of the rocks beside us. 

Having no intention of resisting, I just let him do as he wishes and allowed him to pull me into his arms while he held me as gently as he possibly could, burying his face in my chest. 

"You smell nice." He mumbled while I just stood there, not too sure what I should be doing.
