It's an automatic response to put his hands onto Jade's chest, just a light touch that makes him feel more steady on his feet than he really is. Finally some time to relax. He closes his eyes and sighs, letting Jade work in peace. Bit by bit the tension leaves his body and that's great -- he doesn't hurt as much this way.

Once his face is clean, he dares to press a sleepy kiss into Jade's neck. The water is warm, his muscles unlock under the hot stream and the come is all going down the drain. Jade's nice, without mocking him. Shinjirou considers that a good sign. Despite behaving badly once, it seems like he's done something right tonight. That's more important than the stabbing in his chest or that he looks like a smurf.
