He's not expecting Mr. Knight showing up t a dinner date, even if he might not have hated it as much as he acted. He's not even sure he knows what to expect on this ship, or what to wear. He feels a little stupid, actually putting much thought into it, but... it's easier to think about that than the other stuff.
He moves to slip out of bed, pausing to look back at Steven for a moment. Are they really okay? It doesn't feel like it. It feels like he just let Steven down again and there's no way to deal with the frustration that comes from that in any way that won't upset him even more.
Maybe dinner will make it up to him.
He does pause before he goes to the bathroom, reaching out to muss the other man's hair a little. "I'll be out in a little bit, alright?"
Maybe he'll feel half-way human again, after the hottest shower he's able to stand and cleaning himself up a bit. Then maybe he'll go out for some clothes and hope-- dinner's a little bit better with Steven.
"I'll save you some water if you wanna clean up. Gonna guess there's no sharing before the first date." Easier to get Steven flustered a bit, right? Get him focused on something else.
