As Henry began to stir on the couch, he was trying to piece the events of last night together. He still couldn't remember anything. It was frustrating at best, but at least he had something else to think about: Sterling. The memories were still coming back to him in waves but it was a lot better and less fuzzy than earlier this morning. He remembered the good, the bad, and the downright ugly. He remembered being happy with Sterling and he remembered crying in the shower. He remembered it all.

It was these memories that encouraged him to get up off the couch and go to Sterling. He really wanted to pull Sterling into a warm embrace and let him know just how much he loved him. He wasn't mad at Sterling, quite the opposite really. He wanted Sterling to feel how much he really loved him. Even still, as he stood from the couch, he wrapped the blanket around his hips. He may love the man who was currently walking towards him, but he also didn't want to rush into anything. This were still new and fresh and he figured it would be best to ease back into their physical relationship. Walking around the apartment naked was definitely not easing into anything.

He smiled as Sterling asked how he was feeling. He pulled the male into a hug, letting his lips press softly to Sterling's. He let his lips linger there for a few brief seconds before he eased back. "Much better. But man do I need a shower...and some clothes." He could smell dinner cooking and one look at the skillet told him that he still had a few minutes left before dinner would be ready. "I'm going to get cleaned up before dinner's ready." He leaned forward and kissed his forehead softly before he pulled back and turned towards the bathroom. It absolutely killed him that he left Sterling standing there alone. He wanted to shower with Sterling, but he knew he had to wait until Sterling was ready. Henry would be patient. He loved Sterling that much.

Henry slipped into his bedroom, grabbing some clean boxers, some loose fitting sweats, and a comfy t-shirt. Entering the bathroom and closing the door behind him, Henry placed his clothes on the bathroom counter and then dropped the blanket on the floor. Water was turned onto the warmest he could handle before he stepped into the warm water. The hot water felt great on his muscles and it helped to relax them. He wasn't sure what happened last night, but damn was he sore today.
