Aizawa slowly came down from his high, stroking Y/N's forehead patiently. Their flushed face and their body still shivering from the scene was enough to arouse him again but he knew better than to move again. He pressed a kiss against their hand again.

"You did so good, but we need to get cleaned up now," he whispered against their palm. The small, sleepy groan was enough of a confirmation. Aizawa pulled out, shifting Y/N up to a sitting position on the towel. He saw the marks on their back, still healing but slowly.

"Seems like I took up most of your energy," he chuckled quietly, moving slowly to not aggravate the wounds further. He saw the leaking cum onto the towel and nodded slowly to himself.

"I'll be back, gonna start the shower," he said softly, moving his hands to cup Y/N's face, stroking their cheekbone with his thumb, "Okay?".

They nodded, and he smiled. He moved away from the bed and to the bathroom, setting up the washes for easy reach and looking for a small stool to keep in the shower, just in case. He put down some towels on the basin and finally moved to the shower's handle. He turned it on, letting the water heat up before slowly adjusting it to be just hot enough to actually warm the skin but not so hot that it would sting on their wounds. With all set, he returned back to the bedroom to see Y/N curled up, still half on the towel.

His lips twitched in a semi-smile as he moved closer, putting his hand on Y/N's leg and gently shaking it.

"Hey, time to go shower," he cooed softly. A frustrated groan left Y/N but Aizawa shrugged it off with a small snicker. He gently pulled Y/N up to a sitting position where he then pulled them up. He adjusted himself to take on their weight so that they wouldn't struggle too much with the walk to the bathroom. It was endearing, concerning but endearing. A small murmur left their lips, just under inaudible but Aizawa didn't prompt further as he led them into the bathroom. Everything was set, and he was glad that he brought the stool otherwise it might've been more of an issue.

They let out a small groan, pressing their face against Aizawa's side as they moved from the cold hall to the steamy and warm bathroom. He put down Y/N on the stool, letting them sit. He moved them a bit so that they can lean against the wall if their fatigue took more out of them during the wash. Wetting a sponge in the downpour, he began to clean himself and his lover up. He rubbed the arms, the legs, the abdomen before turning his eyes down to their members and, most notably, Y/N's hole.

It would evacuate itself, but Aizawa couldn't help but feel guilty for taking most of their energy during the sex so he figured to help a little bit more. Wiping down the skin on his lover's cock, twitching slightly at the small moan that left their lips, he slowly accomplished his task. He was further taken aback when they reached out sluggishly to wrap their arms around his neck. They were seeking comfort, or maybe somewhere to just rest safely, but Aizawa couldn't deny the sense of warmth that it gave him.

"Nearly there," he comforted, moving his hand between his lover's legs to wipe away any of the excess from their hole before changing over to another sponge which was soapy with a cedar body wash he had gotten from the shops earlier that week.

He was a bit more gentle this time, especially with Y/N's back. As they rinsed off, the suds falling into the drain, they sat in a haphazard embrace. Y/N held onto Aizawa loosely, and Aizawa couldn't help but return the gesture by holding onto their thighs. He tried to not push them, instead just slowly running his thumb over the skin.

"I'm here, baby," Aizawa lulled. Slowly, he removed their arms from his neck. He turns off the shower, moving to quickly swipe the towel from the basin. He wrapped the towel around Y/N, pressing his forehead against theirs.

"Let's get you dried off," he said, slowly drying off their arms, their hear, "and then it's back to bed."

A/N: Aftercare scene (1). I've decided to start listening to another podcast to help me kinda integrate the smutty aspects of the book. With that in mind, I've also begun to work with "Children of Cain" and "The River Flower".
