"Hello why is it lock?"

"Don't know." JJ replied out of his thoughts again. "Are you just going to stand there or are you going to open it?" She asked.

JJ looked at her. He was really starting to get annoyed with her which is why he dumped her in the first place. "I can't."

"You can't?"

"Nope don't have the key." JJ lied. He hoped she believed him or they were screwed. "Typical." She replied before walking away.

"Well it was nice to see you, but it's time to go." JJ said trying to push her out the door. She noticed. "I don't know what you're hiding JJ, but I'll be back." She said before leaving. JJ closed the door and locked it.

He took a deep breath before walking back to his bedroom. He knocked on the door. "It's okay now Simon. You can come out."

As if on cue the door opened and Simon stood there his lines glowing. JJ smiled at him.

"Come here."

Simon jumped on JJ knocking him to the floor. The creature started licking his face. JJ patted him. "Good boy."

"Go'd?" Simon repeated.

"Yeah you did good."

"Go'd!" Simon shouted. He started patting his tail. JJ smelled the air before saying, "Something smells."

"Sm'l's."

He sniffed himself before sniffing the creature who stared at him before sniffing him back.

"It never occurred to me that you need a bath too." JJ said to him. The creature squeaked.

💫🌿💫

JJ started running the water. The creature behind him staring at it amazed. It never seen that before. "Do you know how to take a bath?" JJ asked. The creature tilted his head.

"I'm guessing no."

JJ sighed before saying, "I tried my best not to see you naked, but here we are."

JJ stopped the water and went over to the creature. The creature squeaked. "I'm going to take off your clothes, okay?"

"T'ke." Simon said patting his tail. JJ took a deep breath before taking of the straps of the overalls then the white shirt.

"Now all you have to do is stand up."

The creature looked at him. "Do you know how to stand Simon?" JJ asked. The creature patted its tail down not because he knew, but because JJ said his name. "Is that a yes?"

Simon just looked at him. Now that JJ thought about it. Simon never really stood before just crawled or ran. JJ stood up and helped Simon up who growled. His legs felt like jelly so he held onto JJ digging his claws into his back.

The overalls were now on the ground. "You okay Simon?" JJ asked. He felt his back bleeding from Simon's claws. The creature growled. JJ put him on the rim of the tub.

He kneeled in front of him and took off the overalls throwing them in the hallway. Simon's lines started glowing. JJ looked at Simon's boxers well his boxers. JJ looked down embarrassed. "Can you take them off?"

"Off?"

"Yeah. I just...I can't."

"Kay." The creature said. He touched the boxers before pulling it off like JJ did his other clothes. His tail between his legs and his lines glowing even more. He whimpered.

"Stop."

The creature looked at him.

JJ had covered his eyes. Simon who never saw that before stopped what he was doing and jumped on JJ. "Simon get off me."

The creature squeaked patting its tail on the ground. JJ sighed. "This is going to be a long day." JJ thought.

💫🌿💫

JJ gave up on the bath. It was just too embarrassing. He decided to just wash his clothes. He put Simon in a old white shirt that was big on him.

The creature jumped on the bed. It crawled in a circle like it was chasing its tail before laying down on the bed near the edge. JJ looked at him before turning off the light.
