[Success. At least, it seems like success. Energy clearly comes back into Momo, which is a good thing, but it's a low key kind of energy, different from his regular kind. Still, he's not heading for the door again yet, and that was the goal, so Sousuke takes it as a win.]
Of course. It's freezing out there, somebody'd end up getting sick. [Momo should never have to experience getting sneezed on by a dog.]
You want to go get the water running and I'll bring him in?
[He'd do it the other way around but if Momo goes out there's still a chance he might not come back in. Better this way.]
[Certainly better than brooding and making weird things all the more uncomfortable.
Anyway, Momo's endured worse than that. Shizuo threw him into the lake once; it was startling, revealing -- like a religious experience. Anyway, he'll be hanging around indoors as Sousuke handles the important stuff, like wrangling the dog.]
Yeah! Let's take a bath with him, OKAY Yamazaki-senpai?!
[There's no room for a rebuttal; he's taking off, pitter patting to the bathroom. Surely the layout can't be much different from his place.]
[Brooding and making weird things worse is Sousuke's best skill now that he can't swim, Momo, don't knock it. And dog sneezes aren't religious, just gross.
He watches him go, then heads out back and unclips Nike, who clearly knows his bro is inside because as soon as he's in the house, he's gone. Not even the smell of food in the kitchen is enough to do more than get him to sniff around a little, then he's off down the hall toward the bathroom.]
[Before he can provide the correct response, there's a scream; not high pitched or feminine, but it's a scream. He's turned the water on far too hot for anyone's liking and managed to sear the back of his hand?! It's not serious...searious...but it hurts for all of a second. Soon enough he's got the dial pointed somewhere comfortably between hot and cold.]
YAMAZAKI-SENPAI, WHERE'S THE DOG SHAMPOO?!
[See, he's fine. The fact that he's now ignoring Sousuke's objection means it's not being acknowledged and he'll definitely get into the tub somehow.]
[Or yourself, since that was not a dog scream at all. More like Nike probably knocked Momo into the tub. He moves a little faster to get to the bathroom, though, because if something did happen he's not going to let Momo sit there hurt.]
It's under the sink. You OK?
[Nike, in the meantime, seems to have realized there was just a meal somewhere in the house and that Momo had part of it because he's licking right at his face. Dog kisses for you, Momo.]
[The dog is fine. His hand might be bright red, but he's recovered fast enough, as usual. Moreover, the dog's kissing him so how could he possibly be experiencing anything unpleasant right now?]
Under the sink...is that where the bubble bath is too?
[He'd be undressing if not for the dog-shaped distraction. Little savior.]
I'm okay, [As an afterthought. He should probably put some ointment on his hand later...] let's start now!

I'm not getting in there with you two...
[Or so he thinks.]
