Fifth Floor Bathrooms [Wednesday Night]

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

Gavin's shower wasn't draining. At all. And he couldn't very well go without a shower, not with hair like his (and he'd never admit to that being a girly statement), so he'd grabbed a towel, some shorts and scampered down the the communal bathrooms.

He'd had experience with these back home but never here and he almost expected a gremlin to pop out, bite him and turn him into a curly haired exercise guru.

When no gremlins appeared, Gavin disrobed and turned on the shower spray, enjoying the hot water and the quiet.

[Gavin's here for one person specifically but this is open, of coursssssse.]

Gavin listened closely and then, having somewhat picked up the tune, started whistling louder.

Hearing Gavin chiming in, John hummed louder. Because it was a competition now.

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

Gavin stopped humming and just started making noises that resembled humming. He was singing but without words.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Bah bah bah bahdabah bahdabah!" John could do that, too. And louder.

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

"Bah bah bah bahdabah bahdabah! Bah bah bah bahdabah bahdabah!" Gavin shouted and pounded on one of the walls with his hand.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Bah bah bah bah bahbadabahbahbah bah bah!" John couldn't stop himself from smiling as he continued screaming the song and stomping his feet.

"Bah bah bah bah bahbadabahbahbah bah bah! "Bah bah bah bah bahbadabahbahbah bah bah!" Gavin kept wailing on the wall and stomped his feet and turned his shower on as high as it would go with the pressure.

John banged his shampoo bottle against the wall for additional noise as he sang along. Well, no one could really call it singing when he gargled water from the faucet as he did so.

Instead of banging his shampoo bottle, Gavin tossed it at John to try and throw him off balance so he could be louder, dammit!

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

John didn't appreciate having bottles thrown at him. "Hey!" But it did make him falter.

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

And Gavin took that opportunity to scream as loud as he could, arms up in the air like he'd just won a prize or something.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

Despite losing, John laughed loudly at the sight. Gavin was a freak.

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

"I win," Gavin said even though he had no idea what he'd just won. "I...sing badly louder!"

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

John slung the shampoo bottle back at him. "Yes, you sing badly louder." This was something he could admit to.

"And possibly badlier," he muttered.

Gavin let the shampoo clatter to the floor. "I'm the best at something. That's all I wanted to know."

"Little needy there?" John asked, chuckling slightly as he turned up the heat on his shower. The steam was nice after a run.

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

"Not needy," Gavin said, shaking his head. "Egotistical."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Don't get enough ego stroking?" John teased.

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

"Not enough from you," Gavin corrected.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Aw, Gavin, I didn't know you cared," John grinned and then paused. "For serious?"

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

Gavin kept his face straight even though he was lying. "For serious."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Wow, that's just sad for you," John shook his head. "Maybe I can talk to Inara, get her to pay you some attention."

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

"But, what if I want your attention?" Gavin asked, still keeping a straight face.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Then I'm thinking you're SOL," John said, feigning sadness. "It's not you, it's me."

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

"So sad," Gavin said, shaking his wet hair out. "I don't know what I'll do without your approval."
