[Winston would've liked nothing more than to relax and enjoy the company of his now-husbands on their honeymoon... However, the structural integrity of the mine's metal support beams didn't care about that. If he's learned anything from his time working construction, it's that man-made structures have no concept of "special occasion" and they have no problem with breaking regardless of whatever else is going on in your life at the moment. So, he spent the better part of the day helping assist in performing repairs with some preventative maintenance on top of it- hopefully everyone did a good enough job that the place will be in good shape for the rest of their stay here.]
[For the time being: Winston's exhausted, and if there's anything better than a job well done, it's having somebody to come home to afterwards.]
[The door opens and the gentle, welcoming warmth of the room and the man within it both overtake Winston as he steps inside again.] Honey, I'm ho~me... [Doing his best to stretch his aching back, Winston walks his way towards the couch before promptly collapsing onto it- right next to Ray.] Man... has it been... a day, today.
[Ray brightens when he hears Winston's voice - they decided to do their own thing most of the day because there were so many different things they wanted to do, but Ray was really starting to miss his husbands. Sure, he sees them every day, but ever since they got married he's been finding himself missing them more. It's strange, really. He was content with never getting married to his partners at home, but everything feels so different now.
Regardless, he wraps an arm around Winston in a half cuddle and puts his book down, smiling not unlike a puppy.]
Win! Hopefully it's been a good day. The mines sounded like a blast, sorry I couldn't go with ya!
[Winston nestles closer, wrapping his arms around his husband and giving a warmly relaxed smile in return while he sinks further into the gentle calm of the moment.]
It would've been so nice to have you around for company... [His back acts up a bit while he tries to shift closer to Ray- making him suck air through his teeth and wince before letting out a tired sigh.] ...and to lighten the load. I'm still pretty sore after all that work. [...doesn't help he's been out of ghostbusting practice for some time now, although he supposes his current attempts at taming Brooklyn demand enough physical labor from him that he hasn't been too inactive.]
Aww, I'm sorry Win! I just got so caught up in researching the history of this town! Did you know that they see Dragonite as a sort of god in this town? Apparently the Dragon's Den started as a sort of temple to them and dragon tamers would go there in times of distress to ask for their help!
[... Oh geez, that is some intense wincing, though. Ray smiles and shifts over himself, giving him enough room to start rubbing his husband's shoulders.]
Gee, your muscles are really stiff. You really should have called me, you know! I would have happily helped you out.
[He really did wish he could help Winston out. But he's not really a massage therapist and his knowledge on how to relieve back pain isn't really robust-
Wait
He gives Winston a slightly coy smile as he leans in closer.]
You know, there are some really nice hot springs close by. I'm sure a nice, long soak in one can help cure your back pain.
[Also so they can be shirtless and maybe naked if Winston's comfortable together.]
Oh yeah, I think I read up on that somewhere while I was digging through all sorts of other legends and mythology, it's all real interesting stuff- [He cuts himself off with a sudden grunt of relief from feeling Ray's hands digging into his shoulders. ...even with his more relaxed mood, there's sure a hell of a lot of knots in his back- which Ray can tell clear enough just by feeling around back there.]
...sometimes I forget how good you are with your hands- I'll be sure to ask for your help next time I need it. [Winston smiles, noticing the gears turning in Ray's head. Wondering, as he often does, what's going on in there.]
[A small pang of hesitance crosses his face initially at Ray's suggestion- a kneejerk desire to just stay put after exerting himself for so long... however, with just the smallest bit of further consideration, he readily accepts that- yeah, it definitely wouldn't hurt to take a trip to a hot spring with Ray on their honeymoon.]
...you know what, that does sound nice... Feel like I should let some of my little guys unwind, too, if the place allows for that.
[Judging by the quick bout of stunned blinking he gives after that last bit, the Implication of Ray's words isn't lost on him. Winston silently squints, presses his lips together, pursing them for a second before shifting them side-to-side, settling on making a soft popping sound before finally giving Ray an answer.] ...maybe some other time.
[With that said, Winston slowly shifts away from Ray and into an upright position on the couch, to avoid pulling something as he stands back up again.] Let me just go get my stuff real quick. [He leans forward to kiss Ray's forehead before going up to the bedroom for a moment... quickly coming back down with his bag and pokéballs in tow, stopping himself at the bottom of the stairs to shoot Ray a smile that says "ready when you are".]
[Ray gives Winston a sad look, but it's not as sad or persistent as it usually is when Ray wants something. After all, he doesn't wanna force anything on him! The best part about pleasuring your partners is them getting pleasure out of it, after all, and he doesn't wanna make them uncomfortable.
He get up himself to root around for some of his Pokemon to take and a pair of swim trunks (Peter is tragically the only one willing to do naked hot springs with him). When Winston reenters the room he cheerfully waves.]
[Taking his husband's hand in his own, Winston lets Ray take the lead in walking them both over to the hot springs. They make a stop at the little changing booth leading into the springs to slip into their swimsuits together before exiting out into the actual hot springs area itself. There's only appears to be a handful of other people relaxing in the water, accompanied by a few friendly pokemon splashing about.]
...nice, wide open... not a whole lot of people around... looks perfect. [...he's brandishing a pokeball in his hand at the moment, seeming a bit pensive about whether to click it open or not just yet.]

[He grins, a little devilishly, as he wraps his arms around Winston's waist.]
I'd love for our children to come with, but I can also use my hands in other ways too, if you want.
