Leon stayed in the shower for quite a while, immersed in the soothing feeling. The onboard water recycler meant there was no issue using as much water as he liked, and the early hour meant there weren't any other crewmates to disturb his comfort. He was able to take his time and just relax.

After a good half-hour thoroughly soaking up the heat, he decided he'd had enough and turned off the water.

He stepped back to the first section of the stall, grabbing the towel and beginning to dry himself.

As he was doing so, he heard the hiss of the main doors again. He didn't think any other crew members would be up this late so he guessed Casey had returned for some reason. He called out.

"Casey? That you again?"

"Yes, crewmate."

He popped his head out past the curtain.

"Uh… whatcha doing in here now?"

The android was carrying a large toiletry bag as he entered.

"My fur requires cleansing."

"Huh?"

"Since when do androids shower?"

Leon quickly wrapped his towel around his waist to make himself decent, before stepping out of the stall.

Casey had moved over to one of the benches and was laying out a few items from his bag. If he didn't know any better, Leon would've said it looked like Casey was preparing to take a shower. The crewmate couldn't help but stare, perplexed at this development.

"...so you take showers?"

"Granted, it is not a common part of my routine. Since I do not perspire, I do not need to shower as frequently as humans. However, my fur does still gradually pick up contaminants. Whilst regular brushing assists in removing a large portion of these, showering is necessary to remove more stubborn contaminants. It is also the best way to maintain the quality of my fur."

"Um, wow. I never would've guessed."

He pointed to the bottles that Casey had laid out on the bench.

“...is that what this stuff is for?"

"Yes, these are special cleaning products to suit my fur. I am required to keep them in my quarters when not using them, so you may not have seen them previously."

"Huh. Guess I never really thought your fur would need looking after."

"It does. I am required to shower once a month at minimum to maintain an acceptable visual standard, and for warranty purposes."

"Warranty? Your fur has a warranty?"

"Yes. If properly maintained, my fur has a lifetime guarantee against general wear and tear, some exclusions apply."

The crewmate let out a laugh at the android's marketing spiel, certain he was programmed to say that for legal reasons.

As he was talking, Casey had removed his shirt and shorts, in turn folding them neatly and placing them on the bench. The wolf was left standing in a simple pair of trunks.

Awkwardly, Leon backed away.

"I'll, uh… leave you to it then."

He was about to grab his things and leave, but Casey's voice caught his attention.

"Whilst you are present, may I ask for your assistance, crewmate?"

Leon hesitated.

"What could an android possibly need assistance with just before showering?"

Apprehensively, he looked back to the wolf.

"Uhhh… with whaaat?"

"My joints are designed to replicate the range of motion of a human. Because of this, it can be difficult to properly wash the lower part of my mane. Would you be willing to assist me?"

As he spoke, Casey turned away and demonstrated reaching back between his shoulders. Sure enough, his fingers only just reached the full extent of his mane.

Leon's face contorted in disbelief, stammering out a response with widened eyes.

" Y-… you want me… to… wash your back?"

"Correct. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated."

Leon was at a loss for words, mind racing at the android's request.

The wolf stood there impassively, patiently observing the crewmate's internal deliberation and waiting for an answer.

"What the hell am I supposed to say? You don't just go around asking others to wash you. Like, I kind of owe him for always helping out… but this is just weird. Although… he's an android, he's not gonna judge. He just wants some help…"

"I… don't know, Casey. It's… I'm not entirely sure I'm, err… comfortable… showering with someone else."

"I understand. As I said, I would greatly appreciate your assistance, but I do not wish to cause you discomfort. I can manage myself if you are uncomfortable."

Leon felt a pang of guilt at the android's words. Casey was always willing to assist without hesitating, but he couldn't return the favour.

Eventually, his morality got the better of him.

"Damnit."

"Alright, I'll… I'll help you out."

The wolf gave a small smile, being careful to avoid baring his fangs.

"Thank you for agreeing to assist me, crewmate."

Casey turned back to the bench and proceeded to remove his last item of clothing, seemingly unperturbed by the presence of another person.

The crewmate stood, eyes and mouth wide open at the nonchalant display by the android. As Casey pulled his trunks down, Leon couldn't help but stare at the perfectly sculpted synthetic buttocks. He watched each one flex hypnotically as the android raised one leg after the other to remove his undergarments.

"Wuhhh…"

Casey neatly folded the trunks and placed them on top of the pile sitting on the bench, before turning to face Leon.

"Yes, crewmate?"

Leon hadn't been expecting the android to turn, and so he wasn't able to avert his gaze quickly enough to avoid the full frontal view of Casey's nude body.

He snapped his eyes shut and turned his head, but the damage was done. He knew what he had seen nestled between the android's thighs.

Casey had a cock, three inches of synthetic black flesh and a matching scrotum hanging from his crotch.

"Damnit, Casey! I did not need to see that. Keep yourself nice, please."

"What do you mean, crewmate?"

"I mean you can't just go around naked like that. At least wait until you're in the stall to strip off."

"Apologies. I did not predict that my appearance would trouble you. I assumed you would not have any issues since we are in the communal washroom, and typical expectations of privacy do not apply."

"Yeah, well… it's just… I don't know… it weirds me out."

"Do other crew members not do the same?"

"Well… sometimes. But that's different."

"Because I am an android?"

"It… I dunno, alright? Argh! Let's just get it over with before I change my mind."

"Very well."

The android moved to the cupboard and retrieved a towel for himself before heading to the nearest stall.

Leon kept his eyes closed, one hand rubbing up the side of his temple in frustration as he listened to the clicking of claws on the tiled floor.

"...it will be difficult for you to assist me with your eyes closed, crewmate."

He clenched his jaw.

"Just get in the shower, Casey."

"As you wish."

Leon dropped his hand and stared up at the ceiling, steeling himself for what was to come. He knew Casey was right (the wolf always was) and he would have to get comfortable with the android's nudity if he still intended to assist.

"…please join me when you are ready, crewmate."

After one final internal debate, he let out a long sigh before responding.

"Yeah, yeah. I'm coming."
