"Because... right now I know you need a friend... even if I do scare you... I care about you and I don't want you to be afraid of me..."

"It would be easier to not be afraid If... if I wasn't practically naked..."

she said whimpering slightly her stance weakening.

"I'm... I'm a counterphobic too... it's why I played that game with you... I'm compelled to face my fears sometimes against my better judgement."

Bon chuckled, "If you haven't notice... I'm half naked too...".

He held her still, just to comfort her. "Well... I'm here... and you don't have to be afraid of me".

"I just... ugh..."

She whimpered slipping from standing to her knees on the wet tile floor unable to bare the weight her fear was putting on her.

"I can't suddenly stop being afraid just like that..."

Bon knelt down with her "I can make it go away... I promise..." He kissed her softly.

"I asked... I just want to... please go..."

Raven's eyes & lip quivered when bon kissed her shying away was her first instinct and what her mind was trying to force her body to do.

Bon still held her, kissing her still, waiting to awaken the desire deep inside of her. He could feel it and he know she could too.

Raven continued a weak fearful struggle though her body was starting not to listen to her tears would continue through the water of the shower.

"...why?"

was all she could manage to say.

"Because... I just had this feeling..."

Bon stood there, his hands still wrapped around her.

I don't want him here, I don't want anyone to see me crying I don't want anyone this close.

she thought though the words didn't reach passed to her mouth she would just kneel there weakly mostly defenseless save for the weak punches or slaps she could possibly give in this condition.

Bon just held her, rubbing her back.

"Stop... I-I don't want to be touched."

She said feebly the rubbing over her back ; scar tattoo & all sending a shiver of comfort through her; one she didn't want to feel and in the back of her mind she was beginning to recognize the aura around this man though she didn't act like it.

Bon continued to rub her back as a tentacle slowly slid out of back, sliding down his back slowly, hidden to her. So she recognized the aura... soon I'll strike.

maybe... maybe I should just let him... I'm to tired... to distraught...

she thought her body losing at least most of the tension it felt a hand lifting from her side weakly to turn down the water that was falling though not off; she didn't want him to see tears.

I don't want to be touched but... it feels so good... and I just don't have the strength after that work out...

her earlier spells were wearing off the extra energy was gone and she was pretty much helpless.

"why do you care so much?"

"You're just... an amazing girl... and I can't help but care..."

Bon rubbed her back some more, smiling at her. Retracting his tentacle back into his back for a moment.
