[ It's still too soon for him to be getting hard again, but Fjord facing him as he undoes his laces over a barely-concealed erection is an image Caleb is glad he'll remember perfectly later. He really can't get out of his own clothes fast enough. ]
Water Breathing would be very helpful right about now.
[ Somewhat muffled as he strips off his soiled shirt, tugging it carefully up over his head before dropping it unceremoniously to the floor and starting on his own laces. Watching Fjord get into the water, however, is a stark reminder of how very different they are. Fjord's body is really something to behold, muscular and strong. Desirable. By comparison, Caleb is just slender. An improvement on how thin he'd been when they first met, at least, though still edging on too lean. But he has never felt self-conscious in front of Fjord before, and he wills himself not to start now. Fjord knows what he looks like, yet he'd still asked him to do this. He must be all right with it.
It's a relief to peel his soiled trousers from his skin and shuck them, to feel the warm water rinsing away any lingering stickiness as he steps in. He reaches for Fjord's arm to steady himself, chuckling under his breath as he has to take a larger step down than he anticipated. ]

This is deeper than I thought.
