The door clicked shut behind them, and the world outside faded away.
Luca dropped his jacket on the chair, kicked off his shoes, and immediately reached for Noel, pulling him close.
"Clingy," Noel teased, but his arms wrapped around Luca without hesitation.
"You love it," Luca murmured against his neck.
"I do," Noel admitted, melting into the embrace. "I really do."
They stood there for a long moment, just holding each other, the exhaustion of the day finally catching up in the best way.
"Shower?" Noel suggested eventually. "We walked so much today."
"Together?" Luca asked hopefully.
Noel laughed. "You really are clingy."
"Is that a no?"
"That's a yes," Noel said, pulling back to look at him. "Come on."
The shower was warm, steam filling the small bathroom, washing away the day's tiredness.
They took turns under the spray, hands gentle as they helped each other, the intimacy quiet and comfortable.
