your captain speaking … guys ik i said i wouldnt write but he’s been plaguing my mind PLZ those writing classes paid awff
nanami is the kind of man who takes aftercare seriously. like, really seriously. it's not just something he does because he's “supposed” to—it's because he genuinely cares about you and your wellbeing. (gentlemen!!) he's soo methodical and carefull about it in the same way he is about everything else in his life, but there's this softness to him that only comes outin those moments that swear you’ll fall more and more in love.
the first thing he does is check in with you. always. his hand comes up to cup your face, thumb brushing along your cheekbone while those tired eyes of his search yours. "are you alright?" his voice is lower than usual, a little rough, but still so gentle. he needs to hear you say it. needs to know you're okay before he does anything else. if you're too blissed out to form words right away, he'll wait patiently, pressing soft kisses to your forehead, your temple— wherever he can reach and feel your warm flesh against his, really.
once he's satisfied with your answer, he's already moving into action. this man doesn't do things halfway, (except when work ends THEN that man has to skedaddle) and that includes taking care of you. he'll carefully untangle himself from you—though… his touch never fully leaves your skin—and he's immediately reaching for whatever you might need. water, your phone, your hair tie — shoot, your fidget toys?? that’s what society calls a real man. he'll help you sit up if you need it, one strong arm supporting your back while he brings the bottle to your lips. "slowly," he'll murmur, because of course he's worried about you drinking too fast. (he’s watched you choke on air. many times.)
he’s DEFINITELY big on physical comfort. he’ll grab the softest blanket he can find and wrap it around your shoulders, making sure you're warm. his place is always well-stocked with supplies now. (and 70 percent of it is for you) and he probably has a whole mental checklist he runs through. if things got particularly intense, he'll run a bath. not just any bath either—he takes his time getting the temperature exactly right, adds salts or oils that are good for sore muscles and makes sure everything is perfect before he comes back to get you!!
he'll carry you to the bathroom if your legs are shaky. doesn't matter if you protest or say you can walk—he's already scooping you up, one arm under your knees and the other supporting your back, holding you against his chest like you're something precious. and to him, you are. he'll press a kiss to your hair and tell you to just relax, let him take care of everything.
and whew!! nanami is so incredibly gentle with you. like, he'll wash you carefully, making sure to be extra careful with you— and his hands are always so sure and steady, working the soap into a lather and running it over your skin with this special attention that makes you feel loved. he'll wash your hair too if you want, fingers massaging your scalp in a way that makes you melt. there's something almost meditative about the way he does it, like taking care of you is the most important thing in the world to him right now. oh my gosh..
he'll dry you off with a warm towel, patting your skin gently rather than rubbing. he's thought about this stuff, probably read about proper aftercare because that's just who he is. he'll help you into comfortable clothes—usually one of his shirts because they're softer and smell like him and he knows you love drowning in his clothes. if there are any marks or sore spots, he'll apply lotion or balm with careful fingers, maybe apologizing even if you tell him you liked it. he can't help but worry a little. lil worried gentleman.
tho, he's not much of a talker usually, but during aftercare he opens up a little more. he'll tell you how good you were, how beautiful you are, how much he appreciates your trust in him. the compliments come out a bit awkward sometimes—nanami isn't always great with emotional vulnerability—but they're so sincere that it makes your chest ache. "you're incredible, you know that?" he'll say quietly, almost like he's talking to himself. "i'm very lucky." hehe he’s so awkward it makes you laugh every time!!
back in bed, nanami will hold you close. he's a big fan of skin-to-skin contact during this time, so he'll pull you against his chest, one arm wrapped securely around you while his other hand traces lazy patterns on your back or arm. he’s soo relaxed with you, since he’s pretty tense everyday.
nanami always makes sure you eat something afterward too, especially if it's been a while since your last meal. he'll order your favorite food or make you something simple but good. he's not the best cook but he definitely has the skills. it’s where he can manage some decent dishes, and he'll bring it to you in bed if you're too comfortable to move. he'll sit with you while you eat, making sure you're actually consuming enough, maybe stealing a bite or two from your plate with a tiny, tiny smile.
and the sweetest thing about nanami is that he never rushes this part. even if he's tired, even if he has work early the next morning, he makes sure you're completely taken care of first. your comfort and wellbeing come before everything else. he'll stay awake as long as you need him to, holding you, talking to you, just being there for you.
before you fall asleep, he always does one final check-in. "do you need anything else? are you comfortable?" his hand will be running through your hair or rubbing your back, and he'll wait for your answer. only when you assure him you're perfectly fine will he finally let himself relax completely.
even then, he doesn't really sleep until he knows you're asleep first. he'll watch you for a bit, his expression soft in a way it never is during the day, like he's memorizing this moment. then he'll tuck you a little closer, press one more kiss to your forehead, and finally close his own eyes.
