Surprised again, when he's the one offering to do more for her, Aerith shakes her head, unwrapping one arm so her damp fingers can brush his cheek. "I'm the one who should be saying that."
After a long moment of being curled up against him, face hidden against his shoulder, she lifts her head enough to look at his face, kissing him lightly.
"Let me wash your hair, I want to take care of you." She means it beyond just tonight, and while she hopes he knows that, for now Aerith will be happy just seeing them both past this.
Turning herself enough so that she's settled in his lap facing him, Aerith reaches toward a bottle of shampoo, getting some on her palm before rubbing her hands together. "We're both going to feel a lot better tomorrow," she continues, gently as she reaches up to run her soapy fingers through his hair.
"And if we don't then you can just stay here until we do," she smiles gently as her fingers massage his scalp.
