Chapter Text
A is for AFTERCARE
“Are you alright?”, Suguru asked (Y/N), who was curled up against his chest to which the smaller woman nodded, a soft smile on her lips as he ran his fingers down her spine, causing a shiver to run down her back while he smiled as well.
“Good. You stay right here, I am gonna run us a bath” he informed her, which caused (Y/N) to nod as he was getting up before putting on his sweatpants and making his way over to the bathroom that was right next to their bedroom.
For a moment he feared that he might have been too rough with her but since (Y/N) told him that she was alright, that worry was now gone and he just wanted to make sure that the two of them could get cleaned up before they went to sleep afterwards.
The small bedroom in their apartment was lit by the light of the full moon as Suguru sat down on the brim of the bathtub and started to fill it with warm water as well as her favorite bubble bath. Making sure that (Y/N) was alright afterwards was one of his main priorities as she was the woman he truly loved and the one he wanted to spend the rest of his life with as she was the one who refused to leave his side when things got hard.
She stayed when he brought the girls home and when he had that breakdown where he questioned everything. She was the one who taught him to see the beauty in the world again despite all the tragedies.
She was his soulmate.

After the bathtub was filled up, Suguru made his way back to the bedroom where (Y/N) was still all curled up, her eyes constantly closing on their own, signaling him that she was not just exhausted but also extremely tired.
“Hey princess, I drew us a bath”, he explained as he carefully scooped her up from the bed, still covered with that thin blanket as he carried her over to the bathroom, her head pressed against his chest and that soft smile still on her lips.
“You are the best, Suguru”, she whispered, which caused a deep laugh to escape his throat as he pressed a kiss onto her soft hair.
“If you say that then it must be the case”, he replied with a smirk on his lips as he helped her into the bathtub before joining her himself, sitting down right behind her so that he could help her clean up. (Y/N) was once again leaning her head against his chest as she was closing her eyes, just relaxing and enjoying his touch on her soft skin.
Taking a bath afterwards always felt even more intimate than the sex itself and only deepened the love (Y/N) already had for Suguru. There was something about seeing him so vulnerable that made her heart beat faster.
His dark hair was down and his purple eyes were filled with so much love that (Y/N) felt like her heart was skipping a beat whenever she was looking at him. In moments like these he truly reminded her of the boy she fell in love with all those years ago.
Even though neither of them said anything during that bath it did not feel awkward or anything. Right now the two of them felt like this silence was what they truly needed and their eyes said anything that needed to be said.
They were just helping each other clean up and while (Y/N) was still busy drying herself off, Suguru already made his way back to the bedroom, where he put on a fresh set of bed sheets and made sure that everything was alright so they could just go to sleep as soon as she joined him.
After just a few minutes she was done and reentered the bedroom, her body now wrapped in a silk bathrobe, which she then exchanged for a clean pajama set while Suguru put on a fresh pair of boxers before he pulled her into bed with him, his strong arms wrapped around her waist and his face nuzzled into her neck.
For him, she smelled like home and within mere moments the sorcerer could feel himself getting sleepy as he felt her breathing evening out and slowing down, signaling him that she was already in the process of falling asleep.
“Good night my princess and sleep tight. I love you”
