[ At the very least, they're already completely undressed. He sets the water running before moving to the wall where the showerhead is and situating himself on the floor with Ai in his lap.
If nothing else, he really does just... start to spoil her. He uses the showerhead to rinse her down—as well as himself in the process—not to mention properly washing her like this, his hands scrubbing shampoo into her hair while she leans up against him. ]
You really are high-maintenance...
[ Said as if it's not his fault entirely that it's completely up to him to clean her up. ]
[ Ah. She hadn't really put much thought into how he was planning to do things this time around but being settled in his lap, leaning up against him, while he combs through her hair feels... oddly intimate. Which is maybe a silly thought to have when they've just spent who knows how long tangled up in each other, but...
Well, she's feeling a little fragile right now. A little delicate. And knowing she can trust Oberon to take care of her when she's like this, to handle her gently like this... it's intimate in a whole different way. It's safe. He'll hold her together until she's able to do it herself. ]
Hm, am I really? I guess it does come with being an idol...
[ Her voice is lazily content as she tilts her head back into his touch. ]
But I like it best when you're the one looking after me.
[ His hands stop for a second... before moving down to run his hands tenderly along her bruised and broken body. How this is managing to be more intimate than when he was breaking her is baffling. Hell, she still has god knows how much of his "proof" of their intimacy inside her... but it's nice.
His hands continue to caress her body... potentially aggravating every scratch and bite and bruise his hands touch in the process, but at the same time, leans down to gently kiss her neck. ]
Hah... comes with being an idol, sure...
[ More like it comes with being his Master (wife). Honestly, normally touching somebody the way he's touching Ai would be a sign of wanting more... but if that were the case for him, his touch would be a lot more painful, wouldn't it?
Yet his touch remains gentle and tender, soothing the broken mess in his arms. ]
[ A warm hum rises up and out of her throat at his touch - appreciation and contentedness, even as her skin tingles under the brush of his fingers, each bruise and bite leaping to attention at his touch. She's still so sensitive that it should be unbearable but he's being so gentle - it's such a jarring difference to how he was handling her before that it's almost laughable. But between his hands, the warm steam filling the air and the water washing over her skin, she's practically melting against him. Being taken care of like this by him really is so lovely. ]
Mm. It does. Ah, now that I mention it, though... how was your first private handshake session?
[ Handshake session. Handshake session. We're seriously still doing this bit. ]
I did my best to give you all the kinds of fanservice I thought you'd like best. So did it work? Did I manage to steal you?
[ "It's a miracle you're even alive" he thinks, but decides at the last minute to keep to himself. Not that it makes it any less obvious where he was going with it before he paused. ]
...I'm going to need a lot more of it from now on. You won't be able to keep me otherwise.
No, it's not usually. I told you, didn't I? That was my first time having a private one like that with a fan. And it was my first time trying out that kind of fanservice. Since you're so special, I thought it was right to give you a little extra special fanservice just for you.
[ She flashes him a mischievous little smile, sharp edged by her teeth in a way that makes it look catlike. ]
But if I'm gonna need to keep convincing you, it sounds like I'll be getting a lot of practice. ... Maybe not this much, though.
[ He rinses the shampoo out of her hair with one hand on the showerhead, and with his other hand, gives her chest a playful squeeze. ]
Just think of it as stamina training. You idols need a lot of that, don't you?
[ Never mind that if he's going to be obligated to throw some healing magecraft in with the aftercare if this starts happening more often. Hell, he should be obligated to do that right now... but it's clear that he likes having his wife's broken and limp body in his arms, despite his complaints of her being high-maintenance as a result. ]
[ The noise she makes isn't quite a squeak but - squeak adjacent, let's call it. He hadn't had the opportunity to wind up her body in all the usual ways he likes to do it with how closely they were pressed together, so she's not quite as tender there in the usual way. But maybe it's because it's not quite as tender - it doesn't sting or ache - that it catches her by surprise. It definitely doesn't feel bad but while she's still so shivery and oversensitive, that's exactly the problem. ]
Pfft. I don't know if stamina training usually works like this... but I think my stamina's pretty good as it is if I'm managing to keep up with you.
[ He's a Servant, after all, and she's a particularly small and pitiful human. The fact that she's even conscious right now is pretty impressive, she thinks...! ]
[ It was different in a lot of ways. Instead of him winding her up, she was the one winding him up... and well, the roughness was nothing new, but he definitely broke his record in terms of breaking her. ]
...I feel a little ashamed, though. I lost myself and completely forgot to break these things.
[ He says, suddenly fondling her chest with both hands. He's almost tempted to rectify that mistake, but even he knows better than to pull that right now. ]
[ Liar, she means to say with another of those catlike smiles - but instead, what comes out of her can only really be called a whine and she squirms a little under his touch. Usually she's not quite so reactive to him touching her there, especially not as gently as he's doing it, but right now... ]
Oberon...! [ Her voice comes out a little breathier than she means it to. ] D-don't do that, not while I'm already such a mess...
[ Even he knows better than to assume she's in any fit state for him to be doing this right now, surely...! ]
[ He laughs, still cupping her chest in both hands. She's so easy to bully... he's almost tempted to actually go for more, but oh alright... he'll relent. He doesn't want her to actually die from exhaustion, after all. ]
Oh, I've never had too much fun... but don't you worry, I know my own limits.
[ Does he, though? ]
Though of course... if you wanted me to rough them up a little, you are my Master.
[ He could bite the shit out of them right now before they get in the bath... but he is ultimately just teasing her. He's perfectly content to make her squirm with just the gentle touch of his hands, so he's already moving to scoop her up. ]
[ Surprisingly enough, if only because of how easy it apparently is... that does make him pout. ]
Says the one who wound me up like that.
[ Honestly, she's the architect of her own destruction. Sorry that he broke you so badly after you deliberately set him on yourself after winding him up too much. ]
...I suppose I get very passionate about private handshake sessions.
[ Ai blinks at him. And then her weary expression cracks into a proper smile and she laughs, amused and delighted all at once. ]
Oh, do you? I wish I'd known beforehand...! [ She's still giggling. At least she doesn't seem to be laughing directly at him, but... ] I'll have to keep that in mind for next time, then. I guess you really are the type who gets super worked up about idols.
[ He can't help but pout further. Making fun of him now, are we? Even though she's completely at his mercy right now?
Yeah, that sounds about right for her. He sighs and hoists her up, having decided she's been cleaned up enough for the tub. It's not perfect, but she's certainly cleaner than when she was being plowed into the mattress... ]
You stole me? If anything, I think I stole you.
[ She still has plenty of him inside her to prove it... seriously, how long did they go for!? So he says, carrying her to the tub. ]
You really think? But you came here answering me, right? If you were the one who followed me, that means I stole you.
[ Her arms find their way around his neck like they usually do whenever he scoops her up like this - seriously, remember when this was embarrassing? Ai sure doesn't - but rather than holding on, this time it's a little more like a hug. Maybe because it took some visible effort to do it, but her arms squeeze gently around him anyway. ]
And it's not like you needed to steal me. You can't steal somebody who wants to be taken, can you?
[ They've done so much to each other that at this point, the concept of shame to them in regards to intimacy... may as well be fully gone. Hell, this isn't even the first time they've bathed together.
In any case, he laughs. Somebody who wants to be taken, huh? ]
Perhaps, but in your case...
[ He steps into the bath, sinking into the water and settling her into his lap once again. ]
I'd say I've certainly stolen you from everybody else.
[ Hot water stings her skin, just on the verge of being a little too overwhelming, but Ai knows from experience by now (what does it say about her that she's experienced at this by this point...) that she'll be a whole lot more sore without it - and that she'll adjust quickly enough. Yet another one of those slightly pitiful noises wells up out of her throat and the moment they're settled, Ai melts against him again, somehow even more loose and pliant than she was before. ]
Hmm. When you put it like that, I guess you're not really wrong. I'm supposed to be an idol who cheers for everybody but nowadays, you're the only one I worry about supporting. Jeez, you're such a needy fan.
[ She shifts a little so she can press her forehead into the side of his neck. ]
But that's okay. I'm glad you need me.
[ A pause. Then a playful huff. ]
Is that why you had to make such a mess, though? I know some guys get it in their head about claiming their territory like that but it won't work for you. You're a Servant.
[ aqua and ruby are enough for her to be worrying about!!! ]
[ He grins and brings his chin down to rest on her head as she leans into his neck. He holds her with his arms wrapped around her, just under her chest. Sure, he may be a Servant, but she's an idol. He'd say that warrants a little territory claiming, doesn't it? ]
Maybe, maybe... that or I do it because you like it.
[ Which... isn't not true, but let's face it, it's mostly because he likes seeing her like that. ]
But who's to say? Certainly not me. I'm just a needy fan, after all.
[ His hands start to roam and caress her body as it usually does... gentle and tender, contrasting starkly with before. He squeezes her lightly here and there, but never more than enough to cause a brief jolt of sensation. He ends up spending quite a lot of focus on her thighs... turning dark and useless from the brutal punishment they've received. ]
[ None of it hurts - which is a miracle, all things considered. It's like the pleasantly overwhelming discomfort of working out stiff joints, one of those achy deep tissue massages lifestyle gurus are always gushing about. Not that Ai's ever had anyone massage her there. ]
You'll definitely have to fix me up properly tomorrow... [ Grumble grumble. ] Unless you want to be stuck waiting on me hand and foot until I can actually stand up.
[ Not that Ai particularly minds the idea. She just has a feeling he'd find a way to pick on her about that, too. ]
A proper Servant [ husband ] should take responsibility for being this mean to his Master.
Should I? I was considering leaving you like this for a little while...
[ Which means that yes, he knows he has to properly fix Ai up eventually. Preferably soon. Which he will... but wanting to keep her all broken like this for a little while?
Chances are that's uh, not a lie. ]
Besides, I still think I shouldn't be taking any responsibility for simply following orders.
[ He pauses at that. Oh if only he could just give her a straight answer. Both for the sake of giving her some peace and also just, embarrassing her. ]
Well... it was you, wasn't it? Do you think you were ordering me to... or were you begging me to?
... I don't think giving you an answer to that is really a safe call.
[ The last thing he needs is more ammunition for bullying her. ]
... But it's not like I was asking you to stop either way. Even if it would've been the smart thing to do. It's a good thing you can fix me up after you go crazy like that, you know. Otherwise I might decide you really are in trouble.
[ He grins, taking in her "praise" of his ability to fix her up... so long as she doesn't call it "Merlin Magecraft", at least. He could probably teach her something if he wasn't extremely abhorrent to the idea of being a teacher again.
Besides, her refusal to answer is telling that she knows what the answer is. ]
