Kenneth wrapped his arm around him to keep him sitting up, reaching up to run a hand through his hair. "It's okay.. Everything's okay.." He said quietly.

Jordan couldn't reach up to wipe his tears away, couldn't control the jerks in the muscles through his body. He cried softly, leaning against Kenneth. "I-..I'm s-sorry...I didn't mean t-to..." His body jerked harshly again, a sharp breath passing his lips. "Nnh.."

"Accidents happen." He said quietly, holding the boy close to him. He was willing to bet this was as close as the two of them would ever get, despite how much he really cared for him. And that was okay, so long as he had this moment to hold him and comfort him. "I'm right here, okay? We'll get you in the shower in a minute." He mumbled, shifting his weight a bit.

Jordan would never let somebody see him naked. But he felt so drained, and the way his body was jerking scared him. He felt immature, childish as he curled closer to Kenneth, heart racing as he shivered. "Okay.." He slurred softly, a trembling hand clinging to Kenneth's wet clothes.

Kenneth held the boy close, hoping it would at least warm him some, considering he was probably shaking from side effects and the cold water. He slowly ran his hand up his side, hoping it would make him feel a little better. "You're okay now.."

Jared swallowed. He wasn't okay..he hadn't been okay in a long time... He leaned over the tub and gagged again but there was nothing else that hadn't been digested and he just dropped his head to Kenneth's shoulder, pulling in shallow, rasping breaths.

Kenneth gently ran a hand through the boy's hair, holding him close. He finally scooped the boy into his arms, almost amazed the two could pick each other up. But they didn't weigh much to begin with. He carried him to his own shower, helping him in.

Jordan held on to him tightly as he was lifted. But as soon as he was set down his legs gave out and he grabbed Kenneth, arms wrapping around his neck to keep himself up. "I-...I can't.." He whimpered softly, jaw trembling. He didn't dare pet him go.

"Shh.. Jordan, I got you, okay?" He said, his arms tight around his waist. He helped him to sit down, kneeling in front of him as he started the shower. But he didn't dare get undressed, even if his clothes were heavy now. "You wanna try and wash off?" He asked, holding out the body wash.

Jordan hung on to him as he was sat down, terrified of falling. Finally he was sitting, tears falling down his cheeks and blending with the water on his dripping bare body. He felt utterly humiliated, couldn't look at Kenneth, couldn't let him see how broken he was.
The tattoos on his body hid some scars, but not all. He'd been beaten since childhood, he wasn't near perfect. It could have been worse though, he liked to think. Reaching a shaky hand out, he took the offered bottle. He shuddered, dropping it, and pulled it close, squeezing some into his other hand.

Kenneth probably couldn't even see the scars if he pointed them out because Jordan really was perfect to him. He reached up to brush his hair back from his forehead, looking down at the floor tiles so Jordan wouldn't feel uncomfortable, and he wouldn't be tempted to do anything stupid.

Jordan just looked up at him brokenly as his hair was brushed back. He scrubbed his hair and body as best he could and swallowed, legs jerking faintly before he looked back up with a shaky breath. "I-..Can you help me u-..up to r-rinse..?" He choked.

Kenneth looked up as he spoke. "You don't have to get up. The shower head pops off." He said, standing up. His clothes were clinging to his freezing body, and he pulled the shower head off the base. "Why they thought I'd need a shower head that reaches into my living room, I'd never know." He said, holding it over Jordan.

Jordan scrubbed his hair out, then reached and took the shower head, rinsing his body off before handing it back as he shivered, sitting helplessly.

Kenneth took it back and put it back on the base. He turned the water off, looking down at his wet clothes for a moment before he walked out of the shower and grabbed Jordan a few towels. He walked back and handed them to him before he turned his back so he could dry off.
