Klaus made the bath about half as warm as he usually does, but he knows that he usually has baths at skin-scalding temperatures with steam rising from the water, that leave his skin red. This is much milder, and when Ben gasps and says it's hot, he pauses. Ben starts shaking and instead of scooping more water over him, he starts gently rubbing at his shoulders and back, running tattooed palms against smooth golden-tan skin.
Klaus has no idea how it must feel for Ben right now, but it looks like it's overwhelming, everything too intense - but Ben had liked the touching earlier, so he does it again, hands moving over Ben's back in smooth even circles. After a few moments of that, he stands up, undoes the front of his leather pants and slides them off. Still wearing his briefs, he steps into the tub behind Ben and settles into the water, goes back to rubbing his back. For once, he's quiet.
