Summary: [1/3 chapters, Ken x Daisuke/Daisuke x Ken, One Pairing Boot Camp; 28 Days of Love, & Diversity Writing] Daisuke borrows Ken's shampoo and has a few naughty thoughts.

Eyes closed, Daisuke fumbled around the assortment of bottles, trying to find his shampoo. He knew it was one of those, but he couldn't remember which one it was, or if there was one there to start with.

Did I finish it this morning? He'd been so busy all day, dragging his cart around to some new neighborhoods, that he considered himself lucky to remember that he'd taken a shower that morning at all.

His hand brushed against one of the bottles and he worked the top off, taking a whiff of it carefully. Huh. This must be Ken's. It wasn't his shampoo; his didn't give off that fragrance that he knew so well. He sniffed it again. He'd never been much into shampoos that gave off odors, but this was special, different.

This was Ken's.

Well, they'd agreed that they would share everything, and he still couldn't figure out where his own shampoo was. He guessed he could open his eyes and find out, but he already had his hand on the bottle, so that was good enough in his opinion. He poured a little out and took another whiff. Yeah, definitely Ken's shampoo, and the light scent stirred up very pleasant associations.

With those in his mind, he rubbed the stuff into his hair, imagining that it was Ken's hands there. Sadly Ken would not be there for another night; he was somewhere on a big case and probably wouldn't be home until the next day. If then.

I think I'll help him take a shower when he gets home. That provided even more interesting thoughts as he ran his fingers over his hair and scalp. Ken would be very tired, without a doubt. He'd need hot water to relax his muscles and maybe even a massage.

Daisuke wasn't very good with massages, or at least wasn't trained in them. But he'd try anyway, because Ken certainly could use the help. Daisuke didn't know much about what kind of case the other worked on, but he knew Ken had been on the job for days now.

In fact, he'd need a lot more than just a shampoo and a shower and a massage to really relax. He'd need some hot food and a good long comfortable nap. Daisuke knew for a fact he could do all of those, to some degree or other.

The shower, shampoo, and massage would be easiest to handle. He'd make certain Ken took a good long shower, with all the hot water necessary to soothe his tired body, and then a massage, to work out the rest of the kinks.

Daisuke liked the mental images he was coming up with already. Ken had grown into a very tall, slender young man, and Daisuke could envision every part of his body with perfect clarity. He'd had a lot of practice over the last few years.

Without thinking about it, he reached for the shampoo bottle again, not yet ready to leave the shower.
