**Chapter 21: Unwanted Affection**

Shizuo couldn't help but moan because Vanitas' hands felt so good in his hair. The sensation was overwhelming, and he couldn't deny that it felt amazing. Vanitas' fingers worked their magic on his scalp, massaging it gently, and Shizuo felt a wave of relaxation wash over him. "Shit, that feels good," Shizuo said, his voice barely above a whisper. He couldn't believe he was actually enjoying this. Vanitas' smile grew wider as he continued to work on Shizuo's scalp, his hands moving deftly through the soap-covered hair. Vanitas chuckled, a low rumbling sound that seemed to vibrate through Shizuo's entire body. "I'm glad you think so, Shizuo," he said, his voice filled with amusement. "I love making you feel good." As Vanitas continued to massage Shizuo's scalp, Shizuo felt his tension melt away. He couldn't help but lean into Vanitas' touch, his body responding to the gentle pressure. Vanitas' hands moved down to Shizuo's back, washing away the dirt and grime with a gentle touch that sent shivers down his spine. Shizuo closed his eyes, letting out a soft sigh as he felt Vanitas' fingers work out the knots in his hair. It was a strange feeling, one that he couldn't quite explain, but he couldn't deny that it felt good. The water continued to pour down on them, and Shizuo felt like he was melting into Vanitas' touch. Vanitas started to clean Shizuo's back, massaging him gently with a soft sponge. Shizuo felt a shiver run down his spine as Vanitas' fingers grazed his skin, sending a wave of sensations through his body. His eyes fluttered open, and he looked up at Vanitas, who was smiling down at him. "I'm happy you feel good, Shizuo," Vanitas said, his voice filled with warmth. Shizuo felt a flutter in his chest as Vanitas leaned in to kiss him on the cheek. The touch sent a wave of electricity through his body, and he couldn't help but feel a little more at ease. "I love you, Shizuo," Vanitas whispered, his breath tickling Shizuo's ear. Shizuo's heart skipped a beat as he felt Vanitas' warm breath on his skin. He didn't know how to respond to this, to Vanitas' declaration of love. All he could do was stand there, frozen, as Vanitas continued to shower him with affection. Vanitas started to wash Shizuo's body, his hands moving gently over his skin. Shizuo felt a sense of vulnerability wash over him, but he couldn't deny that it felt good. Really good. He let out a soft sigh, his body relaxing into Vanitas' touch. As the water continued to pour down on them, Shizuo felt like he was trapped in a world of sensations, all of which were centered around Vanitas. He didn't know how to escape, or if he even wanted to. All he knew was that he was at Vanitas' mercy, and that thought sent a shiver down his spine.
