Well, Ashton wasn't going to deny that it felt good having Xigbar's hands move over his skin, but in a completely non-homoerotic way. In a way that having one's back scrubbed just.. should feel good. It was great being clean, anyway-
..Although the more he dwelt on it, having someone still mostly unfamiliar touch his naked shoulders made him feel kind of weird and vaguely unpleasant inside. Still, Xigbar hadn't bit him like Luxord had. And he said he wouldn't bite, right? Ashton should trust him. They'd fought together, so there was that bond of trust right there.
Now, like his Nobody friend said, it was best to pretend like he had no fear or shame. So - he could at least try to play it somewhat cool. Play it like Claude would. So he took a lofty expression. "Well, no, I - I mean, plenty of.. plenty of guys have scrubbed my back before, it's nothing for me to get nervous about, really. I'm just not used to people touching my back, anyway. Dragons and all."
In a particularly jerky movement, Ashton's hand shot out to get some shampoo, and he raised his arms a little bit to lather up his hair. Thank goodness he was sitting, and thank extra-goodness that there was that rag over his bits.
"S-so, um.. h-how's your day been?" he asked nervously, trying his best to change the subject away from look, Ashton's never been touched by a guy before, even on the back!
