[Sandalphon stills very briefly; how can Izumi be thanking him when he'd completely lost control of himself like that? It's true that he'd never once objected, but...no matter how he looks at it, he's definitely crossed a line.

He strokes Izumi's hair, pressing kisses into his temple and across his forehead, before carefully moving away to pour some soap into the running water—a bubble bath, of sorts. Once that's done, he hoists Izumi back into his arms and carefully lowers him into the tub, climbing in behind him and nestling against his back, arms around his waist and kissing the nape of his neck. He's taking extra care to be especially affectionate, after the proverbial beating he's put him through, all gentle touches and sweet gestures...

...Ah, but he can't forget to actually clean him off, either. Just wiping him down with a wet towel isn't enough, though it got rid of most of the...immediate mess. He cups some water in his hands, ruefully realizing he should've grabbed the shower head, and does his best to get Izumi's hair wet so he can wash it, rubbing his scalp with gentle, slow circles.]

Keep your eyes closed for now...I don't want you to get any soap in them.

[But he can't fall asleep, either. If he does, Sandalphon's going to jostle him awake, because the last thing either of them need is for Izumi to end up with his face in the water and be given a much ruder awakening.]

[ the water is a bit too cool for izumi's taste, yet he doesn't make a peep to complain and in fact lets his muscles relax when sandalphon joins him in the tub. it's a little strange to be at the receiving part of aftercare, to be spoiled by sandalphon of all people with soft kisses and gentle caresses, and he thinks that he could get used to this a whole lot. it's a side of sandalphon that rarely pops up, after all, and it's a good thing the primal couldn't see him smile a tiny bit from here.

seriously though, how can he keep himself from sleeping when sandalphon's shampooing his hair like that? izumi lolls his head forward a little, already crossing the realm of sleep at this point, but he's aware enough not to fall into the water and potentially drown himself.

by the time sandalphon's done with him, he's already sound asleep. feeling a bit cold from the water, but feeling warm on the inside with all the attention that's been given to him. ]

[Ah, he's asleep...well, if he's that tired he'd better make this quick. Sandalphon rinses the shampoo out of Izumi's hair and gives the rest of his body a careful cleaning as well, then leans him back against the edge of the tub as he pulls the stopper out to let the water drain. A quick trip to the linen cabinet results in an armful of towels that Sandalphon uses to carefully dry Izumi off with. From there, he hoists Izumi back into his arms, gently jostling him awake to ask him a few things.]

Let's sleep in my bed tonight, alright? I'll change and wash the sheets on yours tomorrow...

[And there's another matter, too.]

Do you want me to get something for you to sleep in?

[Sleeping naked is fine for Sandalphon but he isn't sure about Izumi...]

[ okay. between getting stirred awake from his sleep and being asked for the most basic of things, izumi can't help but furrow his brow in slight irritation. not that he hates sandalphon for being on the right track so far, but... ]

Pa--... Pajama...

[ he gurgles before attempting to fall asleep in his lover's arms yet again. seriously, does he need to be told on what to do even for things like this? then again, sandalphon's achieved a lot of firsts on this night alone, so izumi will let it slide for now. ]

[FUCK YOU HE'S TRYING]

...Maybe this is what it's like to think someone is adorable.

[He mutters it to himself, assuming Izumi can't hear him. After all, he's doing his best to fall asleep. Sandalphon presses another kiss to the top of his head as he continues down the hall, grabs some pajamas for Izumi, and carries him to his own bedroom.

After carefully laying him down and lifting his legs enough to shimmy his pajama pants up over his waist, Sandalphon gets to working on the shirt, eyes flickering between the bruises that litter his torso again. His neck in particular is a mess...maybe he should just heal it up now and get it over with?

...Then again, as tired as he is himself, he might honestly pass out in the middle of it. It's probably best to wait until morning, after he's had some time to recuperate. Still, it looks painful...and before he knows it, he's hunkered down to straddle Izumi's waist, leaning down to leave a trail of gentle kisses down his neck, to the bites on his shoulder and every other mark he left on the man he loves. He knows that you can't actually kiss someone better, of course, no matter how fond mortals are of the expression. But hopefully this gets the sentiment across without disturbing him too much from his attempt to sleep.

He mulls over their exchanged confessions, wonders if it will feel any different if he says it again. But without the adrenaline and a rush of pleasure to keep him from thinking too hard, his throat traps the words before he can give voice to them again, no matter what he tries. Sandalphon loves Izumi...and Izumi had told him he loves him back. It should be enough just to know that. After all, that's how it is with Lucifer, isn't it? Knowing that he's loved is enough, because it has to be. Because they can't be together, after all.

It's as simple as that, so why can't he just be content with the way things are?

Sandalphon aggressively shakes his head, reaching for the pajama top once more.]

Izumi, put your arms up...

[He speaks quietly, and if Izumi's too tired to do it or already asleep, Sandalphon will just move his arms himself.]

[ the kisses didn't stir him from his slumber too much, but izumi can't help his breath hitching as sandalphon plants kisses upon kisses on the marks he'd left on him; it's as though sandalphon's making sure that they stay there for just a bit longer, despite having the ability to heal him at any time. the affection his submissive is showering him right now is simply too much, only proving the fact that sandalphon truly is not human.

sandalphon will have to move his arms, though. izumi wants to be spoiled more and more, what can he say. and once he's fully dressed for the night, izumi wastes no time in clinging to sandalphon's arm, bringing him down on the bed beside him. ]

Sleep... with me.

[ like, right now. everything else can wait in the morning, he just wants more of the primal's warmth for the rest of the night. ]

[The smile that breaks out on Sandalphon's face is gentle, warm, and full of love, and he can't resist the urge to kiss Izumi one more time, slowly and deeply, before settling down next to him. There's no denying it anymore, at least not to himself—he's in love, and he has been for some time, and it's thrilling and wonderful and terrifying.

He cradles Izumi against him, carding his fingers through his still-damp hair, breathes in the scent of his skin and the soap from the bath. It feels like, for a moment, that this is really where he belongs, nestled in bed with the man he loves. But the moment passes, and Sandalphon feels guilty for having the thought in the first place, even as he holds Izumi closer.

He'll have to do something about this. He can't just pretend he didn't confess his feelings tonight, but...he can't let this turn into anything more, either. They can't stay together, after all, so wouldn't it be best to let this wither before it finds a place to settle and grow?

...He can think about that tomorrow. For tonight, he'll do what Izumi wants, sharing his warmth and his heart one more time.]

...Good night, Izumi.

[ the night came and went, with izumi snuggled in sandalphon's loving embrace until the morning light shafting through the windows hit his eyes, causing his eyes to flutter open. he's a bit bewildered upon realizing that he's not in his (their) room, but also --

he's sore all over. particularly his lips and legs and his throat and ohhhhh my god what happened last night? he's more famished than usual too, so he does his best in wriggling out of sandalphon's hold and tries to get up and start the day with a hearty breakfast... only to wince at the immense soreness around his hip area. he flops back down on the bed, eyes widening as he flashes back to what he'd said to sandalphon last night:

"keep me from walking tomorrow. please."

and smacks himself with his own hand. fuck.

he turns to sandalphon, who's sleeping peacefully and being blissfully unaware of what he'd done to izumi. izumi's heart skips a beat at this pretty sight nonetheless; it's not everyday where izumi gets to wake up first before him, and it really is nice to see sandalphon at his most relaxed. so much so that izumi can't help but lean in for a kiss...

only to stop short and pinch sandalphon's cheek with his hand hard. ]

Wake up, Sanchan~. You've got a lot of work to do after all you've done last night! ♪

Edited 2019-09-21 13:32 (UTC)

[Sandalphon awakens with a start, one hand darting toward his side as though to grab a sword that isn't there, but thankfully he realizes what's going on before his body can finish its fight response. Instead, he jerks his head back, wincing.]

Ow—! What was that for?!

[He sincerely doesn't know. All he did was exactly what Izumi asked of him!]

Don't tell me you already forgot? Look what you did to me!

[ he just... gestures at his hips... ]

Everything feels sore and I can't get up now! How am I supposed to make breakfast and go about my day like this? Don't tell me I have to stay here and rest like I'm down with a cold or something!

[ like last night was hot as fuck and all, of course he'd be hungry. all he can taste was his submissive and he can't help the blush on his cheeks at that. ]

Aren't you the one who told me you didn't want to be able to walk today?!

[He doesn't know what's going on...let him catch up, he just woke up...]

I'll just make breakfast for you if it bothers you this much!

[Don't you want your tsundere boyfriend to pamper you some more, Izumi???]

I didn't think you were serious about it?!

[ then again it is izumi's fault... this all started when izumi demanded that sandalphon should top him, after all.

he lies back down on the bed with a huff. it is nice though, to have his tsundere boyfriend pamper his tsundere ass all day. and speaking of which - ]

But fine, so long as it's edible. [ can sandalphon even cook ] ...You're going to make me coffee today too, right?

I make it every day, don't I?

[He tries his best to look grumpy, but he's definitely a little touched that Izumi's asking for it.]

...I wouldn't leave you like this without at least making sure I was ready to take care of you the next day. You're...I owe you a lot for keeping me contracted to you, so I wouldn't be so careless as to bite the hand that feeds me.

[And he can always heal Izumi up, anyway.

Though he's not mentioning that, mostly because he wants to pamper him a little more before reminding him the option's available. Ugh, he really has it bad...]

Edited 2019-09-22 01:07 (UTC)

[ oh, that's unexpectedly sweet to hear. ]

You should be. I've taken care of you a hundred times, so it's only fair that you return the favor. Especially now, where you have to take responsibility of what you did to me.

[ besides... being pampered like this isn't so bad every once in a while. ]

...Before you go though, I want you to do one more thing.

[ and he points at his own lips, eyes darted away as he flushes up a storm. ugh, he has it just as bad, if not worse. ]

Edited 2019-09-22 02:27 (UTC)

...

[A smirk flickers onto Sandalphon's face. Izumi really is adorable when he gets like this...he can't help but want to tease him.]

...What exactly are you asking me to do, Izumi? I want to make sure I don't make you angry again, you see...

[Though the way he's leaning in makes it obvious he knows exactly what Izumi wants, as if his cheeky behavior hadn't spelled it out clearly enough.]

[ don't make him say it?! though it's really telling that sandalphon knows what he's talking about so izumi can't help but feel a little miffed.

but he's impatient, so he'll pull his stupid tsundere boyfriend in for a kiss himself. he can't really stay mad at sandalphon for so long, especially when they have practically the same temperaments towards each other.

ah fuck, he really is in love. it's hard to admit it out loud, but it's true.

he pulls away, mirroring sandalphon's cheeky expression with his own. ] Do I make myself clear?

Clear as day.

[He smiles warmly as he leans back in to kiss him again, already helplessly settled into Izumi's rhythm. They've gotten along since they met, but it feels so natural to be with him now.]

Izumi, I...

[Ah, there it is again. The feeling of his heart in his throat, desperately trying to bare itself to the person who's so thoroughly captured it. Sandalphon swallows the words once more as he pulls away and makes to stand.]

...I expect you to eat everything I make for you, alright? I'll just make you stay in bed all day if you give me some excuse about your diet.

[He was really worked to the bone, after all....]

As if I could get up even if I wanted to.

[ well, at least he won't have to go to the hospital? hopefully. it doesn't feel like he's broken anything, at least. ]

I do need to restore some calories into my system, so... fine. I'll be a good boy for you.

[ he totally intended to say that ]

[Sandalphon's face flushes as he immediately takes that the wrong way, delivering a swift punch to one of Izumi's upper arms.]

Just be yourself. That's what I like most about you.

[Even if he's being a total bitch right now,]
