Jake practically held his breath, trying to suppress his air supply, and in turn suppress his blood flow to certain places since Ash's bare skin was touching his again. He glanced around before deciding to set Ash down on the bench where their clothes were. It'd be easier to help Ash get his clothes on there than if he was in the chair anyway.
"Yeah.. it's cooler since the steam's mostly gone.." he mumbled. Setting Ash down gently he gave him a little smile before walking over to the chair to pick up Ash's discarded clothes and a towel for each of them. Putting Ash's clothes on top of his own he handed him the towel then started drying himself off with his own, scrubbing at his hair. Once he'd done that his hair was sticking up everywhere again and he started drying off his arms and chest.
After drying off himself the best he could, he pulled his jeans on over his still wet shorts. He wasn't comfortable to be naked in front of Ash just yet, even if it was for a moment. He wondered if Ash would mind if he accompanied him down to the Hufflepuff common room, it was way out of his way to be honest but that didn't really put him off the idea of making their time last a little longer.

Ash took the towel, drying off his hair and laughing when he noticed how Jake’s was completely tousled. It looked cute like that, making him bite his tongue so the comment wouldn’t actually slip out. Instead he focused on drying off his feet, then his legs. The blonde wouldn’t be able to pull his jeans over his swimming shorts, because he’d need someone else to peel them back off, which would be a total hassle once his trousers were actually wet. He didn’t really fancy the thought of Jake having to see him naked again, not now he admitted to liking him, but there wasn’t much of a choice.
He flushed a little, having dried off his chest and arms, glancing at the blue jeans on the bench. ”So, how good are you at dressing someone else with your eyes closed?” Ashley joked, trying to make this go over as smoothly as possible. It was an odd thing, having to rely on others and forgetting all about how ashamed things could make him. He didn’t have that luxury anymore, though at least the Ravenclaw tried not to make a big deal out of it. Taking the shirt from the bench, he quickly pulled it over his body, not wanting to be completely naked once his swimwear was taken off.

Jake was feeling at least a little more confident in being able to help Ash undress and dress now since he'd done it before. The wet swim trunks would be a bit of a pain though, and it would be a little awkward since Jake had half kissed Ash but Jake wasn't going to let that stop him. He laughed softly at Ash's question, grinning slightly at him.
"Well, I have skills at dressing my kid siblings with my eyes closed because I would do it constantly. But we'll make do here" he joked back, glancing at Ash's jeans before looking at his shorts then up at his face. "Do you want to try and shimmy out of them as much as you can before I help get them off completely? I'll try not to jerk you off.." he smiled teasingly again, knowing that he'd almost wiped himself out a few times in haste of getting wet swim wear off since it tended to bunch up in the most annoying places. He tossed his towel down on the bench near his clothes, having forgotten about even buttoning or zipping his own jeans up so they just clung to his hips.

That was just too much. I’ll try not to jerk you off. Ashley let out a low sound in the back of his throat before giving in completely and laughing so hard he nearly slipped off the bench. His fingers clenched around the edges, trying to hold himself stable while he giggled. ”Oh wow. Ten minutes ago you weren’t sure about being gay and you offer to jerk me off, eh?” It was obvious from his large, teasing grin that he didn’t mean any harm with the comment, dark eyes twinkling as he looked at Jake.
The Ravenclaw looked absolutely edible with his jeans undone and for a moment Ash wished that the other would have meant it – not that he would feel anything, but just the idea of being allowed to touch such a beautiful body, would be allowed to kiss and carress his skin...it was a rather tantalizing idea, making him heady for a moment. Out of all the pretty boys Hogwarts had to offer, this one definitely looked the best.
And as someone who had seen quite a few (in various stages of being dressed), his opinion obviously mattered. ”Ah, if only, mate.” He sighed dramatically, giving the boy a teasing wink. ”A few weeks of sweet talking like this and you’ve got all the boys at your feet.” It was just too amusing.

Jake opened his mouth to say something, then just stood there looking like a fish for a moment with his mouth opening and closing. Words had escaped his brain at the moment. His face turned red and he waved a hand at Ash "I.. You.. Gah!" he said exasperated and he laughed a little, shaking his head as his face tinged red once again. "You're just a big perv" he tried to look mildly annoyed but he couldn't keep a straight face in doing so.
"Stop that.." he murmured when Ash gave him a wink, still grinning a little. Embarrassed as he was by his slip up of poor choice of words he couldn't deny that it was pretty hilarious. Jake reached over to ruffle Ash's hair, giving his head a little nudge instead of pushing on his shoulder like he would have if they were still sitting next to each other.
"We're supposed to be getting you into your clothes again.. so come on. Help a guy out here" he said picking up the blue jeans that belonged to Ash to shake them out a little before looking at Ash expectantly.

”Into my clothes...as opposed to getting me totally naked? Darn.” Yes, he was a perv, but Jake didn’t seem to mind. Instead he ruffled his hair which partly made him feel like a little kid and partly just made him beam up at the other innocently. As long as the Ravenclaw knew it was all in good fun, he would continue to joke around with him. It was lovely and Ash knew that the longer they talked, the bigger the chance would be that he’d end up saying something equally dubious as the brunette just had.
Sighing deeply, as if getting dressed was the most horrid task in the world, Ash began to squirm out of his wet shorts. They would only go as low as his hips, the boy unable to lift up his ass to get the fabric down to just his legs. Glancing up at Jake, he took the towel and covered his hips with it, thinking that it would probably be safer and a lot less uncomfortable if the other didn’t actually see him naked this time. Of course, covering his crotch meant that there was a possibility of the older boy accidentally landing his hands somewhere else but that was a risk Ash was..ahum...willing to take.

"You're going to be totally naked here in a minute anyway.." Jake murmured, putting the jeans down as he helped hold Ash up to get his shorts off the rest of the way. As he started to help Ash sit back down, his hand slipped on Ash's wet hip and slid back over his ass. He glanced up at Ash's face before moving his hand but he didn't look exactly embarrassed about it this time. He got the urge to give his bum a pinch since Ash was being cheeky but he refrained for the time being.
He picked up the jeans again and slid Ash's feet and lower legs into them easily. Once he had them pulled up to his thighs he looked at Ash's face again. "Better hang on to my shoulders for a minute while I attempt to get these jeans up over your hips" he murmured since it would be a bit of a hassle with Ash's upper thighs, hips and ass still being damp even if he tried to dry them off.

The hand on his ass was a surprise, the absence of embarrassment on Jake’s face even more so. Ash just grinned at him, pretending that it hadn’t happened. Probably the best thing to do at the moment. He nodded when the older male instructed him to wrap his arms around him again – easiest order he’d ever had to follow. Perhaps he held him a little too tight but he just wanted this to go over as smoothly as possible...Obviously. That was all there was to it. Yeah.
When Jake managed to get him clothed enough to sit down, Ash’s free hand went up into the others hair for a moment, running his fingers through it gratefully. Things were still a little awkward, but at least the older male hadn’t been all OHNOEZNAKEDNESS! As he was sat down, he buttoned up, smiling at the brunette. As far as he was concerned, he was good to go. Yes, he was aware of the fact that the Ravenclaw was still slightly naked and dishevelled, but honestly the look suited him. No complaints from his side, nope. ”Thanks.” It lacked the teasing tone his voice had had over the past minutes, but he still sounded happy. And he was. Just...genuinely happy.

Jake's hand slipped up, there wasn't any hidden meaning behind it so he didn't think that it was a big deal. Jake smiled back at him when he saw Ash's grin and he shook his head a little, holding him up as he slid the jeans over his hips with little to no trouble. His hands almost went to button Ash's jeans up before he remembered that he wasn't pulling his own pants on. He just helped him back down after another moment.
He was a little surprised when Ash raked his fingers through his hair, but leaned into it slightly anyway. It was a nice sensation, no one had really done that in years. He thought that his mum might have once or twice in the last few years but he knew no one else had. "No problem" he replied softly leaning into his hand for a bit longer before he pulled away. He kept a little smile on his face as he pulled his shirt on, buttoned his jeans and put his shoes on. He went to drain the tub before hanging their towels up still with the smile since he too was pretty happy. It had been a fun night full of awkwardness, true, but it wasn't incapacitating awkwardness so it was still a good night on Jake's list.

Ashley watched him as he moved about the room, putting on his converses and lacing them up. He was quite proud to be able to do that again, since little movements like that had been quite difficult when he had just woken up. Baby steps, but he was still making progress, which was the main thing. He felt a lot better now that he had been in the pool for a bit, his cheeks rosy from the heat, hair damp from the water. He felt fresh, clean, almost as if some weight had dropped off his shoulders.
As Jake headed back towards him, Ash ran fingers through his hair, messing it up a little. ”So” He started, that smile still on his face, ”ready to go then?” All he really needed now was for the Ravenclaw to open the door for him, though he was hoping that the brunette would do more and actually walk him back to his Common Room. It would be nice to spend just a tiny bit more time together, though he was fully aware that this was not a date and hoping to be walked home was just silly. Which was why, no matter what, Ashley wouldn’t ask for Jake to actually do such a thing.
