[Momo gives an almost doubtful hum at that, like he has suspicions over Yuki's reasoning.]
Are you sure you don't just want to fall asleep in the bath once I'm in there...?
[Because clearly there are other things to do once he's washed Yuki. But he supposes if he wants some bath relaxation time, he can tweak his schedule a bit.
In any case, for now he focuses on the work of meticulously uncovering all of Yuki, and he's so intent on it that he almost startles when those fingertips touch at him. He raises his head, seeing that little blush, and smiles gently as he raises a hand to brush Yuki's hair back over his shoulder, thumb ghosting across his cheek as he does.]
If I get to see a rare cute Yuki like that, then I guess we must really be doing great! [He makes sure Yuki's pyjamas are safely out of reach of any potential splashing before he straightens up and takes Yuki's hands, gently coaxing him upright. Momo will leave his own undressing until he's done washing Yuki, because he's still in pyjamas himself anyway. Or Momo's excuse for them, a.k.a. underwear and a big shirt. Either way, he's not very concerned about getting them wet, even as he moves to lead Yuki towards the bath and the inevitable moment of doom.]
[He wishes, anyway. No, he knows Momo isn't going to let him get away with being a lazy lump even on his birthday. It's too bad, really.
There's still some sleepiness touching him, and he covers a yawn with one hand as Momo brushes his hair back.]
'm not cute, either. Don't get any ideas. Cool and sexy all the way, or I'm not Yuki. Anyway, here does nothing.
[But still, he's behaving, and he goes with Momo to the tub, glancing over at him for a moment before looking back to the water with trepidation. Without Momo's assistance, he sits on the edge of the tub, then swings his legs over and waits for the telltale shimmer over his spots before he slips into the tub. The octopus limbs show themselves right away, and as much as he hates them, they are a little useful. He can hold himself up just so in the tub, for example, and comfortably recline using one as a neck pillow. If he looks on the bright side, and at the fact that Momo isn't put off by the monster form, it's manageable.
He sinks in to his chin, breathing through the gills low on his neck for a few moments, then reaches for Momo with one of the tentacles. He's not really trying to pull him in, just to get him closer to the head of the tub, so it's only a gentle nudge at his hip.]
But then you'll miss out on everything else I'm doing! [Momo says that with an exaggerated, pouty manner, like he'll be terribly heartbroken if Yuki doesn't get to see everything he has planned for the day. It falls away quickly enough given the situation, though, and he supervises Yuki's movement into the bath just to make sure the tentacle shift doesn't cause any unexpected problems.
He gives him a reassuring smile when he looks over, and while he doesn't often actually see the change directly, it does feel kind of nice to have the opportunity (however selfish that might be when he knows Yuki isn't the fondest of the limbs). The water is a good temperature, bubbly and heavily scented with some florals that Momo chose specifically for Yuki, and once he's gestured over, Momo comes quite willingly to the side of the tub so he can give Yuki an appreciative kiss.]
Thanks for letting me do this. [It feels indulgent of him to have asked when he's seen so often how Yuki feels about his tentacles, but he's going to make sure it's worth it. Drawing a little basket of cleaning items closer, he picks out a soft sponge and wets it in the bath water, starting to draw it across Yuki's upper chest since he's up here already.]

At least it's warm.
