Admin Mawile: (๑´•ω • `๑) I can imagine loving aftercare being particularly hard for the boys to deal with… They’re not used to gentleness, especially not when it comes from someone who actually cares. For this Au, I can see an early aftercare situation being something of a breaking point for them.
Shuu:
-He’s very dismissive of the care, claiming that he doesn’t need to be doted on after something so minor. The reality is, he’s feeling a lot more vulnerable than he’s used to, and the idea of actually letting you comfort and coddle him sounds almost dangerous. He doesn’t want to let any real feelings show, and being treated so kindly while he’s weak is just too much of a risk.
Reiji:
-Considering that one of the few times his mother showed him any affection was after a punishment, you might wind up dragging up some very painful memories. He’s not used to being treated gently, and if he doesn’t see the attempt at aftercare as some kind of insult or hit to his pride, it’s going to leave him feeling more fragile than he has since he was a child.
Ayato:
-He’s more than a little shaken up from the session, and practically melts into the attention before he gains the presence of mind to stop himself. He’ll get defensive when he realizes what he’s doing, but for just a moment, you can see how badly he needs the gentleness. It’s one of the more vulnerable moments you’ve seen him in, even if his ego does interrupt it in the end.
Kanato:
-Chances are, he’s close to tears already, and gentleness so quickly after something rough will leave him shaking. He doesn’t know how to process positive attention, honestly, and when he’s already left raw and unstable, practically flayed open by a mix of affection and pain, it’s not hard at all to get him to break down. He’ll cling to you like a child, unwilling to let go.
Laito:
-What you do is easy for him as long as it’s just sex. But when emotions start being pulled into the mix, especially soft, vulnerable things like you seem to be trying to drag out of him, it ceases to be something he can deal with. You’re dangerously likely to put a crack in his carefully constructed facade, something open and painful that he doesn’t want to have to deal with.
Subaru:
-You treat him so gently he can hardly stand it. So convinced that he’s filthy, genuine affection is like salt in a wound, and you’re all too likely to draw a violent reaction by being too kind. However, there’s also a chance that you’ll hit something fragile, forcing him into a moment of openness that he’d never allow if he wasn’t still half out of his mind from your session earlier.
Ruki:
-He gets almost angry when you try to take care of him, unwilling to be any weaker than he’s already been. It feels downright pathetic to let you dote on him now, after he’s already allowed you so much control. Your kindness makes him feel cut open, and he can’t stand letting himself be any more vulnerable in front of you than you’ve already seen him be.
Kou:
-The whole premise of a rough session has him on shaky ground, and even though he enjoys it, the aftereffects can be a nightmare to deal with. Depending on how bad it gets, he’ll either panic and push you away, afraid to let you see him at his weakest, or break down completely and turn weirdly affectionate. After he calms down, though, he’ll deny all of it.
Yuuma:
-He doesn’t like feeling fragile, and being doted on comes a little too close for comfort. It’s one thing when you’re roughing him up and making him thank you for it, and trusting you enough to let you put him back together is entirely another. He’s visibly on edge through the aftercare, and is likely to get up and storm out, unable to take being treated so kindly for long.
Azusa:
-He’s never been treated as gently as what you consider aftercare, and every nice thing you do is basically guaranteeing that he’ll never let you go. He already interprets pain as love, and a rough session combined with loving tenderness is the fastest way to making him fall for you almost dangerously quick. He’ll wind up looking at you with borderline worship in his eyes.
Carla:
-The very concept of being coddled bristles his ego in all the wrong ways, especially when the rough session already has him feeling sickeningly fragile. Your attempts to take care of him hit something downright raw, and even though, rationally, he knows that he has to go easy on his failing body, be can barely take you being so soft with him when it’s not absolutely necessary.
Shin:
-He doesn’t take well to being doted on, and while he’s already feeling vulnerable, he’s all too likely to take it as an insult. He’ll snap at you and lash out, but it’s pretty obvious that he just plain doesn’t know how to handle proper aftercare… or really, anything so gentle. It’s hard for him to trust you enough to let his ego slip even a little, even after you’ve already seen him so low.
-The vampire on the floor is too small, too skinny, all big blue eyes and matted hair. He looks up at you like he thinks you’re going to kill him.
You have the sickening feeling he has reason to think that.
When you kneel down in front of him, the vampire squeaks and shakes, looking like he wishes he could scramble away. His eyes are impossibly wide, and he looks even smaller and more thin, fragile up close.
“I’m buying this one,” you say, and there’s no room for argument.
The vampire looks up at you with panic in his eyes, as if he’s expecting you to hurt him at any second.
Instead, you keep your distance, smiling gently and trying not to spook him any more. He’s shaking already, and you don’t want to do anything to make the situation any worse for the poor thing.
-Reiji has far too much pride to cry in front of you willingly… unless he’s intoxicated in some way. He’s a lot more vulnerable when he’s drunk (and that tends to make him weepy anyway), but drugging him on one of his own concoctions is also a good way to get him in an unstable enough state of mind. He’ll grow slowly more flustered and unstable as the drug kicks in, going red little by little and losing more and more of his precious composure.
-Now, say you’ve dosed him with one of his own aphrodisiacs, toyed with him until he’s on the very edge, so desperate he’s close to begging anyway, then pulled away and removed all contact, letting him drop hard from the sudden lack of attention. If the shock alone doesn’t bring something like tears to his eyes, refusing to do anything to help him will probably accomplish it.
-As he gets more and more desperate, he’ll start to fall apart, pride failing him as all he can think about is your hands on his skin. He’s attention starved, deep down, and giving him so much at once then pulling away is a good way of leaving him shaking. The more out of it he is, the more he’ll beg, tears coming to his eyes little by little as you refuse to do anything to ease his suffering. Leave him alone long enough, and he’ll be in tears, practically pleading for any scrap of attention you’d be willing to spare him.
