[🎧 now playing: soren by beabadobee]

22:12

you were scrolling on your phone, laying down across the couch with a fluffy blanket covering you body. you were waiting for riki to get home from working at the hybe building. you figured he was up practicing after a long day of promoting and shooting for their recent comeback. you weren't too sure where he was at the moment. he might've been on his way home, maybe even at the studio this late at night. 

22:27

you decide to text him.

“babyyy”

“where r uu :(“

you type in and send. you blink a few times, feeling how droopy your eyes were. it was getting late and you couldn’t deny how sleepy you were. you yawned as you shut your phone off, laying it by your side. you pulled your blanket up to your chin and laid there, wondering were riki could be.

22:46

some time later, you check your phone to see if he had responded. ‘delivered.’ riki hadn’t opened your message. he was probably on his way home right now so you didn’t really worry. 

your eyelids were heavy and you couldn’t fight off how much you wanted to sleep. eventually, you fell asleep on the couch, tucked into the fluffy blanket. 

23:07

you awake to the sound of keys clanking right outside the door. the doorknob twisted and the door opened, revealing the sight of your boyfriend. he took his shoes off and dropped his bag onto the floor. you rubbed your eyes and just as you were about to stand up and greet him, you see him walk into the bedroom with his eyes half shut.

“woah woah woah, where do you think you’re going?” you ask him as he trailed off. “sleep” he said. “noo, baby. not just yet. we need to get you washed up first” you told him. riki stops and turns to see you. “babyy~ can we go to sleep?” he asks you, slowly blinking and standing still, clearly tired. you walk towards him and grabbed his arm, tugging him towards the bathroom you had in the room. “let’s wash up first, pleaaaseee?” you softly say, looking into his eyes. riki nods and walks with you towards the bathroom.

you help him get into the shower and handed him his towel and his new change of clothes. riki took a quick shower and as soon as he got out, you helped him dry his hair and body. you made sure he was feeling okay. as you pat his face down with a towel, you could tell just by his eyes how exhausted he was. “tired hm?” you asked him. all he did was nod. you smile and caress his cheek. 

23:32

after riki washed up, brushed his teeth, and changed his clothes, he laid down onto his side of the bed. you came shortly after with a glass of water you took from the kitchen while riki was changing. you handed it over to him and waited for him to finish before setting it aside for him on the bedside table. you pulled the blanket over the two of you and closed the lights, leaving only a dim one by the doorway lit up. 

you watched riki as his eyes shut. you rub circles onto his temples and forehead to help him relax and release any tension he had. riki then rested his hand by your waist, bringing you in slightly closer. your hands move up and made its way onto his hair. you play with it and lightly massaged his scalp. riki had a smile across his face.

23:49

you thought of putting pain relief patches on his shoulders to relieve any of the pain his muscles might’ve had from practicing and working all day. you get up to fetch them from a drawer in your closet. you gently lift his shoulders up to place the patches onto them. you lay him back down, looking at him, admiring how pretty he was.

23:59 

you pushed riki’s hair back and gave him a kiss on the forehead and on the cheek. going back down, riki hugged your torso and you buried your face into his chest. “i’m so proud of you for always working hard. good night. i love you, riki” you say before closing your eyes and finally falling asleep in his embrace.

00:00

“i do it for you. i love you more, y/n”

More Than Enough

Warnings: Period Talk, pure fluff.

The morning sun gently filtered through the curtains as I stirred from my restless sleep. My body ached with the discomfort of cramps, and just as I tried to mask my pain, I felt Spencer's comforting presence beside me.

"Good morning, sweetheart," his soft voice murmured, a warmth in his eyes that went beyond the sunlight. "How are you feeling today?" He gently placed kisses on my face.

I managed a tired smile, appreciating the genuine love in his gaze. "Not very good. My period started yesterday, and I feel... well, not great."

Spencer's brow furrowed with empathy. "What can I do to help?" he asked, his fingers gently brushing a strand of hair from my face.

I sighed, uncertain. "I don't know."

"I have an idea," Spencer said, disappearing into the kitchen, leaving me to wonder about his mysterious plan.

He returned with a tray adorned not just with food—a beautiful golden toast and tea—but also a small bouquet of flowers he had picked from my garden. "Let's start with a bit of nourishment"

Spencer sat beside me while I ate, caressing my thigh and sharing quiet conversations that almost made me forget the pain.

"Come, sweetheart, drink your tea; it will keep you warm," he said, handing me the mug, our fingers brushing in a tender exchange.

"And take these, it should help." Spencer spoke in a sweet voice, handing me a couple of painkillers.

"I read somewhere that using a warm water bag can help alleviate menstrual cramps by providing soothing heat to the lower abdomen. The warmth helps relax the muscles in the pelvic area, reducing the intensity of cramps and relieving discomfort. This gentle heat also encourages increased blood flow to the muscles, promoting a sense of relaxation and easing tension." He reached for a hot water bag, gently placing it against my stomach.

As I sat on the bed, feeling the persistent ache of menstrual cramps, Spencer tenderly joined me. He sat on my side, creating a comforting cocoon of warmth. With a gentle touch, he caressed my stomach, offering soothing strokes that seemed to ease the tension within. I instinctively laid my head on his shoulder.

As the pain relievers kicked in, Spencer turned down the lights, creating a soothing ambiance. "Are you feeling better, baby?"

I simply nodded as my arms hugged him tightly.

"Here, let me try something else," he spoke as he broke away from my embrace. He moved on the bed and motioned for me to lay on my stomach. "Massages on the lower back can help alleviate menstrual cramps by promoting blood circulation, reducing muscle tension, and triggering the release of endorphins, which act as natural pain relievers. The gentle pressure applied during a massage can target specific areas of discomfort, providing relief and promoting a sense of relaxation." He spoke, accompanied by the work of his soft hands. With a skillful touch, he began massaging my lower back. "Just relax. I'm here for you."

As his fingers skillfully worked, I couldn't help but think how thankful I am to have such a caring man by my side. The soothing touch provided relief from the menstrual cramps, and in that moment, I felt warmth not just from the warm water bottle but from the genuine care he showered upon me. His comforting presence made the pain more bearable. I closed my eyes, savoring the moment and appreciating the tenderness he poured into every gesture.

"Is there anything else I can do for you?" he asked.

"Just having you here is more than enough," I smiled.

[10:48PM] A Night To Remember - (l.jy)

Warnings: Smut (18+, minors DNI), husband!juyeon x fem! reader, lingerie kink (I think?), making out, groping, dry humping, a bit of spanking, allusions to breeding, pet name (honey, baby), Word Count: 0.8K

A/N: inspired by this ask that's been sitting in my inbox for a while + haven't done a timestamp in a while either so hope you enjoy! Tagging @deoboyznet

It’s been over a year since you and Juyeon got married, and you wanted to plan something special for him. Recently, though, you haven't been able to spend much time with him, especially intimate moments together.

Juyeon had been working so hard the past few weeks trying to get the promotion he had mentioned to you over and over again. He was very determined to get that role because not only would it help you both financially for the future, but also because he could spend more time with you.

Sure, it sucked not being able to go to sleep with him by your side whenever he'd have to work overtime. But you knew it was for the best and decided to give your utmost support no matter what. (Oh, how Juyeon was blessed to have such a supportive spouse like you.) And for your 1st-anniversary celebration, you were determined to make this night incredibly special for him.

Juyeon burst through the front door with a big smile on his face. He was told earlier that day that he got the promotion. All he could think about in that moment was to rush home and celebrate with you this achievement as well as take you out to that high-end restaurant he'd been saving up for your anniversary.

"Honey? Where are you? I have great news!" He shouts waiting for your response, but you don't respond back. She must be in the bedroom, Juyeon thinks. As he walks towards the bedroom door, he hears faint music being played behind the door.

As soon as he turns the knob, he is greeted with candles lit around the room, an alluring scent lingering in the air, and best of all... you sprawled out on the bed wearing the prettiest lingerie he's ever seen on you.

Juyeon couldn't take his eyes off you, feeling his cock harden as he stares at your body as if it was the first time all over again.

"Honey, you're home!" You exclaim, getting up from the bed to run towards him and give him a kiss. As soon as your hands pull his tie closer to you to deepen the kiss, his rough hands immediately hold your waist, moaning into the kiss as you pull him towards the bed.

You turn him around and push his shoulders down, making him plop down onto the edge of the bed as you climb on top and straddle him. He immediately gropes your barely covered breasts in his large rough hands as his plump lips pepper your neck with hot kisses.

"Fuck- it's been a while, baby..." he groans against your skin. "I'm so-" He lets out a moan as you cut him off with your hips grinding against his, feeling your arousal seeping through his trousers.

"Shhh... make it up to me tonight, okay?" you whisper in his ear. "Do you like your gift?" you teasingly ask him.

"So much- fuck." His lips travel down to your chest, kissing the valley of your breasts before pulling down your bra and licking your hardened nipple.

You feel his cock twitch beneath as he continues to suck on your sensitive bud. Your hands travel down to his trousers, unbuckling his belt and unzipping the front before sliding your hand under to massage his member in your hand.

Another moan escapes Juyeon's lips. You've never heard him moan this much until now. Always grunting and groaning, but never moaning as if he was a virgin.

You push your weight forward as his back hits the mattress. He releases your nipple from his mouth and kisses you again with much hunger this time. His hand at the back of your head pulling you in as the other hand gropes your ass before giving it a good spank.

"Honey?" Juyeon mumbles against your mouth. You hum in response. He pulls away for a moment to look at you better, "I got the promotion!"

"You did?! Oh my god, I'm so proud of you!" You pepper his face with kisses before landing on his lips again. He giggles at your excitement as his hands move everywhere on your body.

"You know what that means, don't you?" He asks.

Juyeon's hands grab your hips and push your core down onto his clothed cock. You gasp as you feel the tip poke at your entrance. Without warning, he flips you both over, your body caged beneath his now.

His knees positioned on each side of your hips, getting up briefly to loosen his tie and pull his cock out from his briefs. He pulls your panties to the side as he slaps his member against your wet folds.

"I think it's about time I put a baby in your belly... Don't you think?" He smiles softly at you. You smile back at him with eyes gleaming with joy,

“We’re not leaving this room until you do.”

The Mouth & Finger Vigilante.

Roman Reigns x Reader

Rating: 18+

Warning: Slight fluff and admiration, which leads straight into a nasty oral session 😁.

“Roman’s fingers and mouth are members of the self-appointed group that solve problems. The problem is being away from his wife without pleasuring her. So, here comes his mouth and fingers to save the day.”

A/N: I wrote this in a single morning 😭. I was dreaming about to be honest. I hope you all love it. Thanks for the support on my last fic.

GIF: @romanreigns

Roman enters the house at 1:14a.m.; after an appearance on Monday Night Raw and a long fight back home; he was exhausted. The three family dogs laid across their beds in the living room, sleeping peacefully. His bag softly thrown to the bench by the front of the door and his shoes put beside it. A sigh leaves his mouth.

He quietly walks up the grand staircase of his multi-million dollar beachfront mansion, and to his left, his children’s bedrooms. Roman opens the door to check on his babies. Then, peddles to the side of their beds to give them each a kiss on their cheeks. The doors close, and his eyes focus to the end of the hallway.

The love of his life, behind those double doors, probably sleeping serene and in his t-shirt. He strides to the doors and opens them.

There she is.

His baby.

His wife.

The mother to his children.

The woman who made him into the man he is today.

And he couldn’t be more grateful.

But, he knows she deprived. His love over FaceTime could only be so much. His love in real life is far more intense. Roman’s been gone for about a week traveling up and down the states promoting WrestleMania 39, and he’s finally arrived back home.

He instantly crawls into the bed beside her and hugs her tightly. She groans as she was awakened by bear-like arms cradling her. “Hey baby.” His smile as big as ever. “Hey! When did you get here?” His love asks with a groggy, yet enthusiastic voice. “About 6 minutes ago, stopped by the kids room first.” She smiles lightly as her eyes begin to flutter closed. “That’s nice.”

He stares at her beautiful glass like skin, as she cuddles up to him more. His eyes once filled with light begin to darken. Her juicy thigh rubs against the top of his. When he remembers all the calls on FaceTime. Her begging and screaming his name, as she wanted the “real thing” back. She missed his touch and he could tell.

He lets go of her and assumes the position on top of her. His baby moves around slightly, when he then pulls the blanket down her body. Just as he knew, his big blue shirt wrapped around her body. Roman gently lifts his shirt to her collarbone, when her breasts became exposed. She twitches for a moment as the cold air from the AC hits her perky nipples. ‘Fuuuuck.’ He thinks to himself. Her tits did look good; good enough to eat.

The Tribal Chief massages her breasts softly as she moaned. He comes up a little bit to suckle her little perky nipples. Roman lapped both of her breasts; covered heavy in his saliva. Her light moans encouraged him to suck a little harder and release. As her perky, wet nipples begin to dry up, he slowly caresses his hands down her slim waist, to her wide hips. Her panties clinged between his fingers as he pulled them down to get to his prized cherry.

She stirs again as the cold air hits her cunt. She stirs once more as Roman lowered his face to her pussy and his hot breath hit it ever so intensely. He begins quickly and licks a bold stripe from her hole to her sensitive clit. “Aaaaaa, that’s good baby.” Her praises make him smirk. He then sops up all her wetness to spread it so viciously around her fat cunt. His tongue flicks up and down her pussy to create more juices.

“Baby.” She moans as her elbows were now propped up and her eyes looking into his. “Eat it baby.” Roman slaps her thigh and she yelps. “Whatchu think I’m doing mama?!” His devilish eyes lowered even more as he continued his abuse on her pussy with his tongue. Her head lolled back against the pillow she was sleeping on, and Roman’s mouth soon consumed the entirety of her cunt. Her clit was sucked and licked so hard, and her legs began to shake.

“Look at me. LOOK AT ME!” He exclaimed.

Her eyes now set on his as sucked the life out of her cunt. Her eyes rolled to the back of her head. He shook his head vigorously side-to-side with his tongue laid flat against her pussy. “Ooooohhhhh my GODDDD! DON’T STOP.” Her pussy began to convulse as she reached her high.

Roman licked up all her essence. His nose, chin, and beard smothered in her cum. He wipes his face with the back of his hand and climbs up the bed to his fucked out wife. She panted heavily as her thighs clenched together to stafe off that feeling. He grabs her face and sloppily kisses her; making her taste herself. She regains her breath, and slowly looks up at her man. His stare is cold when he spreads her legs again. His fingers where then placed deep inside the mouth of his wife.

She gagged as Roman shoved his two long digits into her throat. His spit covered fingers traveled down to her clenching hole. “AAAAAA! It’s too much!” She exclaimed as he entered her quickly. His fingers moved at a lightning speed, making the woman underneath him beg him to stop. Her cunt began squirting all over his hand and forearm. The inside of her thighs painted with her liquids and the silk sheets drenched as well.

Roman’s hand comes back up to the surface and he rubs her wetness all over her face. He slaps her lightly as she bits her lip sensually. He squishes her cheeks and spits into her wet mouth. She swallows and pulls her tongue back out to prove she swallowed. He grabs the end of his shirt on her body and wipes her face clean. He lays beside her to spoon her.

“Thank you baby, I missed you so much.” Her voice like music to his ears. “I know baby, I missed you too… But watch out for the morning after I drop the kids off at school.” Her breaths hitches.

“I’m taking you anywhere and everywhere around this house.” He moves his lips closer to her ear, “And I’m not stopping until it’s time to pick the kids up from school.” And with that it was a kiss on the cheek goodnight, but her head only surrounded by two things.

“8:00 a.m.”

Through

“2:30 p.m.”

Don’t we ALL love Roman Reigns?!

THE END!!

*Masterlist coming soon 😛. Also, I want to create a tag-squad; let me know if you’d like to be a part of it!!

Oh baby, but it's cold outside

☆ Genre: Fluff

☆ Warnings: Just over fatigue !

☆ Pairing: Idol!Seungkwan x SoloArtist!reader

Reader is a solo artist, Seungkwan is ... Seungkwan. They met through promotions and being under the same entertainment. The two have been dating for three months now, but it seems like the reader still feels afraid of being vulnerable with him. These all changed due to a hectic day that 'took out' every last bit of energy from the reader.

It's just a week before Christmas, but it didn't feel like it—you were still finishing promotion videos, recording special covers, and the like. Although doing this was something you enjoyed, you can't help but wish for rest ... even just for a day.

"Y/n, our last two takes are in 3 minutes, let's get prepared now" said your manager, quickly waking you up from your half-asleep state. Work began to be tiring after a month without breaks, and if your manager weren't watching, you would've escaped and went to your boyfriend's filming location to hug him as you listen to his daily stories.

Things took a turn for the worse. What you thought was a 5-minute take turned into 30 minutes.

"Try holding this flavor instead"

"Hmm... wouldn't this poster be better"

"Let's try a different dress, one that would suit the new flavor's vibe better"

The company you're endorsing for came unprepared, and now you had to deal with it. Although your inner monologue has been spitting out curses since they started making sudden changes, you remained calm and professional on the outside. Sooner after the shoot was done, it was time to go home to the one you loved the most.

You absolutely adore Seungkwan. If you could give him the universe, you would. And so it became a hobby of yours to care for him each day; make sure he never leaves on an empty stomach, pamper him with the things he needs when he's in a hectic schedule, and even massage his head when he's exhausted. None of those felt like chores to you, as they felt like privileges that God has given. Your love for your boyfriend was one that didn't expect anything in return.

However, your boyfriend loves you just as much as you do. He always tries to take you home safely by personally driving, and gives gifts (which he rarely does to others!).

This day had been a tiring one, and it has ended. Now all that's left is to go home and see the love of your life after war (a long day shooting).

After the 2-hour shoot, you open your phone to missed calls and unread messages from Seungkwan.

"Where are youuu?"

"Should I pick you up now?"

" :⁠-⁠[ "

Instantly, your face lights up.

"I'm sorry boo, schedule was tight, I couldn't read them earlier"

"I'm at XXX district, I'm about to go home, don't worry"

You pack your bags to set off to go home, 'til your phone vibrates again. Seungkwan has replied in an instant despite your hour-late reply.

"Okay, I'll come there :⁠^⁠) wait for me"

There it is again, your heart beating like crazy. Being practically half-asleep right now, you start wondering if you are dreaming; but thank the heavens, you aren't. A part of you wants to tell him not to come since it's already late and he too should get some sleep, but you yourself knew you couldn't go home at this state too.

While waiting for Seungkwan, your seniors pull you over and take you along.

"Hey, that's the last shoot for this month, let's go celebrate y/n"

"But—"

"Oh come on, don't be such a kill joy"

In a matter of seconds, you find yourself dragged outside in the snow. It took all the energy you got to let go and reject their offer.

"Sorry, I really can't right now"

And then came a chorus of sighs, but it was inevitable. If you drunk now, you'd probably wind up dead tomorrow.

Out in the cold, you could no longer think straight. "Should I go back inside?" but the building is far from you now. "Where could seungkwan be?" and he has just started driving by now. "How longer will my eyes stay awake?" and you're basically sleep walking right now.

It was useless, all you could do is walk back to the building or else you'd freeze to death. Half-asleep, you start making your way back to where you were before getting dragged. With your state right now, one wrong step and you'd stumble on the snow. You start waking yourself by slapping your face, which barely made a difference. Suddenly you hear the a familiar car horn—it was Seungkwan.

He got out of the car and waved his hand to you.

"Y/n~"

Ah, it's that cute smile coupled with his chubby cheeks that made you fall for him.

"Kwa—"

The thing you so feared of happening, finally happened. You stumbled on snow and are now like a kid trying to make a snow angel. You could hear Seungkwan's giggles getting louder as he runs towards you.

"HAHAHA— are you— HAHAHA— okay?"

"you need some rest, let's go home"

You look at him with a sarcastic smile as he helps you up. As he glances at your face, his mocking slowly turns into concern.

The moment you sat on the passenger seat, you fell asleep. It was just a 10-minute ride home and you could've just waited, but the land of the dreams were already pulling you in.

Soon, you woke up to the sudden feeling of stopping. The moment you opened your eyes, it wasn't your apartment through the window that you saw; rather, your boyfriend's front camera snapping photos. He was taking selcas of you together while you were asleep.

Seeing you open your eyes, he immediately stopped giggling while posing and hid his phone.

"I saw that"

"...sorry"

"I know you like my face so much, but can't you just wait until I wake up?"

There is it, your cocky tone that makes him flustered.

"Whatever...! We're home"

You step out of the car to battle again with your fatigue. Just like the usual night routine; half shower, change clothes, and the last thing—properly remove your makeup. They put on so much makeup on you earlier that it was so hard to remove. Thanks to 'that' company's indecisiveness, your makeup remover has now run out. With no options left, you go to Seungkwan's room.

"Kwan-ah, can I borrow your makeup remover?"

He pointed to where it is—just infront of the make up desk. His makeup desk was much grand compared to yours thanks to being an idol for longer, might as well remove your makeup in his room, too.

As you were removing your makeup, you were in your last straw—using up the last bits of energy and consciousness. The cold weather wasn't any help too, now that it is lulling you to sleep. Seungkwan was scrolling through his phone, but his attention was on you minutes later as you fell asleep on his desk.

"Aigo~ Y/n"

"You haven't finished yet, you'd irritate your skin if you sleep like that"

But his efforts were futile, you were already asleep.

He took matters to his own hands. Gently, he removed your makeup for you and cleaned up right after. Since you two sleep in different rooms (something YOU yourself wished for), Seungkwan was thinking whether or not to wake you up. A part of him felt scared of you getting uncomfortable sleeping in his bed, but another just wanted to cuddle with you and adore you as you sleep.

Amid all of this thinking, he didn't realise that his shuffling woke you up.

"Oh, sorry, did I fell asleep?"

"I'll go back now, goodnight baby"

It was one of the rare moments you were vulnerable, and he knew 'cause you started calling him "baby." Now flustered and desperate to adore you as you sleep, he started retaliating.

"Ah~ Why don't you stay here for the night? C'mon, you can't even walk"

At this point, you had no sense of rationality left in you, so you just spouted out the purest of your thoughts

"But I sleep really noisy, and I don't want you to see me in the morning bare faced"

"But I want tooo~"

Seungkwan was acting like a lovesick boy, despite the fact that you two had been dating for 3 months now.

"And I...I'm shy...to sleep in the same bed as 'THE' Seungkwan"

"I promise I won't do anything weird!"

You suddenly blush

"I-I know! That's not what I meant!"

You started thinking of excuses to escape the situation when the real reason was just that your heart races every time he was near. The fangirl in you still can't believe that you're dating him, and will probably become very clingy if you slept on the same bed. With your drunken-like state because of fatigue, you made the stupidest excuse ever known.

"But... it's warmer in my room"

"Oh baby, but it's cold outside"

He himself can't believe he said such words, and is now a blushing mess.

"...I meant, it's cold on the way to your...room"

Great, now you can no longer resist.

You finally sigh in defeat and put your weight on him though a hug. He quickly understood this and helped you walk towards the bed. The second you laid down, you start wondering why his bed was much comfortable than yours. Was it the matress? The sheets? Or was it simply him being there?

Those thoughts were dismissed once he started poking your cheeks and stroking your hair.

It was the first time in your life someone not your parents has done so, and you could no longer fight your intrusive thoughts. Suddenly you hug him tightly and act all clingy. He reciprocates anyways with a forehead kiss. You two are basically fools in love right now.

"I love you all the time, but I think I love you more when you're like this"

He didn't realise that you were asleep already, and he was basically talking to himself. Still, he continued hoping that his teasing will he heard in your dreams.

"You can't even stay awake for a whole minute, how can I trust you with 20 steps to your room?"

"Ah, you've been overworking again, I told you, you aren't going to lose popularity just because you haven't done a comeback in half a year!"

"Really, you're so stubborn"

"...and I love it, too"

A few moments later, he also drifted to sleep, and whole night was just you clinging to him like some sort of koala. He enjoyed this, though, and will now coax you everyday into cuddling with him until you both fall asleep.

Extras ; [the next day] !

The next day, he woke up first, and did what he's good at—taking photos of sleeping people. This time around, though, you didn't catch him. When you woke up, he was wearing a grin that looked like it told a thousand words. Was it a cocky, embarrassed, or smitten grin?

Your thoughts weren't composed yet right now, but as soon as you realised you were sleeping on the same bed, you sit up and panic.

"W-Why am I sleeping here?? Did I do anything crazy? Oh God"

Seungkwan giggled a bit at your actions, but immediately calmed you down by giving you a recap of what happened a few hours ago—just that, it's his version now.

"Well, you were soo tired and you basically wanted some cuddles from the most handsome man in existence, and so you asked me kindly if I could shower you with love. I didn't mind doing it at all since you asked nicely."

And there it is, he's starting to get cocky again. Luckily, you remembered last night because of his twisted story.

You were about to protest until his phone switched on for the morning alarm, and you saw his lock screen to be a collage of sleeping faces. What's worse? They're all pictures of you.

He tried to hide it but it was too late.

"Hm? What's that?"

"... Nothing ...."

Since he was caught red-handed anyways, he used it instead to tease you.

"Ah, how cute, I got a sleeping koala with me~ hehehe"

This obviously was embarrassing for you and it required drastic measures.

"Kwan-ah ... what do you want?"

Your tone was serious, and that took him aback.

"Hm? ... What I want...?"

"The latest American-style store or the hamburger shop down the road ... you name it..."

"Why?"

"...in exchange for ... changing your lock screen"

He suddenly burst out into laughter and started getting all demanding.

"Hmm... can I have both?"

You look at him with a defeated expression

"Well, I have two versions of the lockscreen, can't have one showing randomly, right?"

With your sleeping face getting exposed to the other members of seventeen on the line, you just follow his request. He ends up paying for the food anyways and turns the food hunt into a date.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Hello I AM ALIVE AGAIN ON TUMBLR but now writing for Seungkwan 😄 This fic is not proofread or what, PLEASE BEAR WITH ME !! thank you 😊🌸

Bad Day

Requested: yes

Summary: your husband comforts you after you have a bad day at work.

Word count: 0.9k

Warnings: none

Pairings: Tom ‘Iceman’ Kazansky x wife!reader

The slamming of the door was what alerted your husband to your arrival home. Ice stood from where he was hunched over the kitchen table, head hurried in some Navy papers that he needed to review. He set his reading glasses onto the table next to them. It was strange that he was home before you. Ever since his latest promotion, he found himself absorbed in work, unable to leave until the late hours of the night. Now, it was nearing seven O’clock and you were just walking through the door. He found that extremely strange.

You kicked off your shoes and tossed your keys onto the entry table. Tom slowly made his way towards the front door, cautious so as to not upset you anymore. “Honey?” He called out softly. When you didn’t respond, he came over to the front door. Your husband cooed softly when he found you with your head buried in your hands, still standing in the entryway. He approached you, arms winding around you. Your head immediately fell to his shoulder. “Bad day?” he questioned in a soft whisper. You could only nod in response.

Ice hummed quietly, rocking the pair of you back and forth. Slowly, the tension that had been in your shoulders all day began to melt away. His hand began rubbing circles over your back. You nearly melted into him. When he pulled away, it was to press a soft kiss to your hairline before leading you toward the living room. He set you down on the couch, speaking quietly when he told you that he would be back in a minute. Your husband knew that you likely hadn’t had dinner yet. When you arrived home in the state that you had, he figured that he would help you out while you relaxed.

He returned minutes later with a plate of last night's mashed potatoes, grilled chicken, and some salad. You smiled at his thoughtfulness. Ice sat down beside you, his arm winding around you waist. You ate in a comfortable silence. When you were finished, you set your plate on the coffee table. Ice smiled as you leaned against his shoulder. He placed a chaste kiss to the top of your head. “Wanna watch a movie?” He whispered into your hair. You nodded softly. Your husband stood from the couch, moving to pull one of your favourite movies off the shelf. He knew that it would help cheer you up.

Just as he sat down next to you, the opening of Dead Poets Society began to roll across the screen. You grinned at his choice of movie. Snuggling up to him, Tom’s arm wound around your shoulders to rest on your arm. You head rested against his shoulder once more. As the movie played, you had eventually manuverd yourself until your head was rested in Ice’s lap, your arm tucked underneath it. Your husband’s hand was resting on your thigh, tracing soft patterns into the fabric of your pants.

There was only about 45 minutes left in the movie when his hand moved up to your hair. You hummed softly when his fingers removed the elastic tying it back. Ice began to play with it, running his fingers though it to get out any of the knots. His eyes were still trained on the screen, absintmindedly running his fingers through the long stands of your hair. His fingers felt heavenly. He continued to run them through your hair, making sure not to pull.

Eventually, you allowed your eyes to slip shut, finally able to let all the stress and worries of the day melt away. You knew that tomorrow could be the same, but right now, you couldn’t find it in yourself to care. The last thing you felt before you drifted off to sleep was your husband massaging your scalp. Slowly, you let the calming pressure of his fingers lull you to sleep.

When you woke up, you were being carried down the hallway. Your head wa resting against your husbands chest. Your eyes slowly blinked open, being met with the sight of Ice glancing down at you. “Go back to sleep, baby.” With a soft and somewhat dreary nod, you rested your head back on his firm chest and allowed yourself to drift off once more.

Tom carried you into your shared bedroom. Setting you down on the bed, he did his best to change you into some Pyjamas before climbing in next to you. Ice pulled the duvet over both of you, moving you closer to him. You automatically draped yourself over his chest, the steady sound of his heartbeat resting under your ear. Your husbands arm was back around your waist, fingers drawing intricate patterns on your side. “I love you, honey.” He spoke quietly as he pressed his lips to your hair. He knew you wouldn’t respond but he paid that no mind as he allowed his eyes to flutter shut. Deep in the back of his mind, Ice was wishing that you would have a better day tomorrow. He hated seeing the love of his life in the state of agony that you came home in today. Little did he know, however, that as long as you had him to come home to, any day would be amazing.

*************************************************

She knew his work was dangerous

She always knew that. But never once did she try to keep him home. Every morning, her husband would get up and leave for the station well before the sun rose. Some weeks, he had to stay there round the clock, meaning they didn’t see each other.

It was lonely. Some nights she couldn’t bring herself to sleep in their bed because she missed him so much. And with the chief’s health declining, her husband had been staying at the station more and more to help out. As much as she knew he wanted it, part of her hoped he didn’t get promoted and take the chief’s place.

It was selfish, she knew, but she was scared. As the chief, it practically an obligation to die for your crew. For the cause. You’re both the leader and the sacrifice.

She sighed as she rolled out the dough for the Hwangnam bread, her husbands favorite. A welcome home treat. As she mixed the red bean paste, she heard the locks tumble and the front door open.

“Jagiya~,” a voice called. “I’m home.”

She quickly wiped off her hands and walked towards the front door to see her husband pulling his heavy jacket off his shoulders.

“Seokmin!” She hugged him tightly, inhaling his familiar scent of vanilla, sandalwood and lemongrass. “I missed you,” she whispered.

“I missed you too, my love. But I’m home now,” Seokmin replied, kissing the top of her head. “What’s that smell?”

“You should know by now…”

“Awww, Jake,” he said, looking past her and towards the kitchen. “Hwangnam?”

Jake nodded and took her husband’s coat, draping it over the back of the couch. “I wanted to surprise you but… you got here earlier than I expected. Not that I’m complaining,” she hastily added. Anything to have him home.

“We got to knock off early,” Seikmin said as he slipped his leather suspenders off. “Chief had a check up. Said we should all go home.” He sighs and drops into an armchair, clearly spent. Jake watched as her husband rolled his shoulders, then rubbed his thigh, making her wonder if his injury was bothering him.

Six months ago, Jake had gotten a call she had hoped to God to avoid: her husband, in the hospital, with second-degree burns and a shattered femur. He made a remarkably quick recovery, but after a long day, or when the weather’s really bad, it causes him pain.

Jake pulled a towel over the bean paste bowl and the dough bowl and walked behind her husband, massaging his shoulders. A small sigh left his lips as she worked the knots from his neck.

“God, baby. That feels nice.”

Jake smiled to herself and rubbed small circles on his back with her thumbs. “Oh yeah?”

Seokmin nodded drowsily. “Yeah. Think I slept on my neck wrong because it’s been hurting.”

She moved her hands closer to his neck. “What about here?”

“Mmmm. Perfect.”

“Wait I’m coming around,” Jake said. “I can barely reach over this chair.” She walked around in front of her husband, standing with one of his legs positioned between hers. “That’s better,” she said softly.

Seokmin reached out and settled his hands on her hips, lazy massaging her skin as she massaged his shoulders. He smiled as he felt her hands slide up his neck and cup his face.

“Hey,” she whispered.

“Hey,” he whispered back, lazily opening his eyes. He pulled her closer by her hips as she leaned down and pressed her lips to his.

Damn, I missed this, she thought. I missed him.

Seokmin squeezed her hips tightly, causing her to gasp, giving him the opportunity to slip his tongue into her mouth, tasting and exploring.

His hands ran up and down her sides, occasionally squeezing her waist or thighs. Jake planted on hand on the arm of the chair, the other fisting his shirt as she leaned into him and brought her knee on the chair cushion, right between her husband’s thighs.

She swung her leg over his so that she was straddling him, her hands clutching the fabric of his white t-shirt. With his hands on her thighs, thumbs rubbing the inside of her thighs… God, it had been so long.

Seokmin pressed his thumbs into Jakes thighs harder, causing her to moan into his mouth, subconsciously rocking her hips into his, desperate for him to move his hands. He smirked against her lips before trailing kisses down her neck. Seokmin placed his hands on Jake’s hips, steadying her and helping her set a rhythm against him.

“Mmm, Minnie,” Jake moaned softly.

“Right here, angel,” he said, biting her neck. “Not… goin anywhere.” He kissed further down Jakes neck. “Nowhere but down,” he mumbled.

Jake raised her arms as Seokmin pulled her dark purple hoodie up and over her head. “Gorgeous,” he said, looking his wife up and down. “Fucking beautiful,” he mumbled, kissing the curve of her left breast, right hand gently kneading the other.

Jake threw her head back, gasping as Seokmin started harshly biting and sucking on the skin of her collarbone and tit, leaving a trail or red and purple splotches as he went. With one hand she gripped his hair, the other she used to steady herself against the chair.

Seokmin slid a hand into Jake’s shorts, rubbing against her clit, drawing shudders and while from his wife’s mouth. In response, she rolled her hips harder, desperate for more friction between them, felling him harden beneath her. Jake’s hand slid between them, roughly palming Seokmin’s growing erection.

“Baby, wait,” he said, pulling a way slightly. “Let me…” he trailed off as he stood, making Jake wrap her legs around his waist as he maneuvered to the couch, dropping Jake on her back. He pulled his shirt off, pulled his heavy work pants down and kicked his boots somewhere behind him. Jake did likewise, tossing her hoodie aside and shimmying out of her shorts.

Making eye contact, they both giggled, as it had been a while since they’d done anything like this due to Kyeom’s unpredictable schedule. Not breaking his gaze away, Dokyeom knelt on the couch, one foot on the ground, other knee between Jake’s. He slowly ran his fingers from her ankle up her leg, her waist, her body arching slightly into his touch until his hand met her cheek.

“Hi,” she said breathlessly.

He smiled. “Hi,” he whispered back.

Seokmin leaned in and kissed her softly, fingers leaving her cheek and finding the hem of her panties while his other hand was planted next to Jake’s head, holding himself up. After a moment, he slipped a finger into Jake’s dripping core, causing her to moan against his lips, and biting his tongue when he added a second.

“Mmm… Min…” Jake moaned out.

“Yes, angel?”

“M-more,” she mumbled.

Seokmin grinned devilishly. “What was that, love?”

“I… I said more. Please,” Jake added.

“Of course, baby.” He dragged his fingers out, loving the way he felt his wife clench around him, savoring the whining, whimpering mess she turned into, how absolutely fucked out she looked by being lightly fingered.

“Oh, angel…” increasing the speed of his fingers, Seokmin leaned down and whispered in her ear. “You have no idea… no idea how gorgeous you look. Just for me. You’re so beautiful… so perfect…” Jake’s thighs began to shake. “Just wanna ruin you. Make you scream my name for the whole neighborhood to hear.” He added a third finger and pressed his thumb down on her clit, rubbing lazy circle while his fingers were mercilessly fucking deep into her, occasionally spreading out in a scissoring motion.

Jake bit her lip, legs shaking as she felt her high approaching. Soft hiccups bubbled up in her chest from suppressing her moans. Seokmin smiled and kissed her forehead, then her eyebrows, then her nose, finally kissing her lips, saying “let me hear you, love.” Jake nodded, looking into his eyes as her release crashed over her, and she came over Seokmin’s fingers. He helped her ride her orgasm out, gently removing his fingers, earning a while from his wife’s lips as the slight sensitivity.

“Oh, angel… What am I gonna do with you?” Seokmin mused, licking his fingers clean. Jake whimpered at the sight of her husband’s tongue languidly lapping up her juices off his fingers. “Such a mess already and we haven’t even started.”

“Babe,” Jake said. “I… I need you in me.” she said the last part quietly, shy after it being so long.

“What’s the magic word?” Seokmin asked, lips ghosting over hers.

“Please,” she breathed out.

“Good girl,” he said, pressing his lips to hers. Jake shuddered as she felt Seokmin gently push into her. “Min, wait… we… can we cockwarm for a bit first?”

“Of course, baby,” he said, gently squeezing her hand and kissing her forehead.

After a few minutes of slow breaths and small kisses, Jake nodded and quietly said “you can move now, baby.”

Seokmin nodded and slowly pulled out just to push back in at the same pace. Jake reached up and wrapped her arms around her husband’s neck, tangling her fingers into his cherry hair, shuddering as she felt his thick length drag against her walls.

“Fuck, angel,” Seokmin said, pressing his lips to her neck. “If I knew you’d be this tight I wouldn’t have waited.”

“J-just for… just for you, Minnie,” Jake said. “F…f-faster, baby, please.”

Seokmin nodded and quickened his pace, ramming into Jake, their hips bashing together to the point where Jake was sure she’d find bruises later. Seokmin hooked his hands under her thighs and brought them up over his shoulders as he finally hit that spot that got her seeing stars.

“Oh, god, Min,” she moaned, nails digging into his back. “Right there… Come on baby, don’t… fuck don’t stop.”

“That feel good, love?” He asked, sweat running down his face.

“So good…”

Between the stretch in her legs and the knot tightening in her core and her husband’s fingers working her clit, Jake could hardly speak, let alone think straight. Seokmin, on the other hand, was somewhat clear minded, watching the love of his life fall apart and come undone under him as he abused her g-spot, watching her half-lidded eyes roll back in pleasure as a series of incoherent pleas left her lips. The hickeys on her neck matched those on her collarbone and along her tits, telling the world that she is his.

“Min,” Jake said. “I’m so close.. gonna cum…”

“Me too, baby,” he panted. “Me too. Gonna… gonna fill you up with my babies… make you a mama…”

Jake’s walls tightened at the thought of it. Being fucked by her husband, turning up pregnant. A well sized baby bump, which he would place his grabs on while hugging her from behind. God it was such a thought that she might actually—

“Min!”

“I know, baby,” he said, fucking her even faster. “Come on, angel. Cum with me.”

Feeling the knot in her stomach unravel, Jake reached up and sank her teeth into Seokmin’s shoulder as her release hit her with the force of a tidal wave. Seokmin’s thrust grew sloppier until he finally came inside her, groaning softly before burying his face in the crook of her neck and laying there for a few minutes.

“Baby?” Jake said quietly.

“Hm?”

“Are you okay?”

“Perfect,” he said, punching himself up. “Absolutely perfect,” he repeated, kissing Jake’s lips. “Stunning,” he mumbled, kissing his way to her jaw. Jake felt his lips travel down her neck, over her chest, until he reached her clit. He planted a kiss on her swollen bud, then ran his tongue along her entrance, holding her thighs apart with his hands. Jake couldn’t help but arch her back and grip his hair as a low moan escaped her lips.

Seokmin glanced up at her. “I take it you aren’t too tired for round two?” He asked mischievously.

Jake sighed happily. “Never,” she replied, pushing his head back down.

HARRINGROVE WEEK, DAY 2: Twenty-Three | Mature | 1.2k

Molly Ringwald’s Wish: Neil Gone

Cake Slice: Pineapple Upside Down Cake

That’s Not Frosting: Praise

Remember what I said about slow, hazy, romantic sex? Well, this isn't quite it yet, but we're getting there 🥰 Enjoy!! <3

Read on AO3 @harringroveweek

Even in the springtime, it might have been too cold for Billy if Steve wasn’t wrapped around him. Curtains shielded their eyes from the harshest rays of light, but it still filled the room with a warm, shallow glow that stirred one awake before the other. Both groaned. Neither moved.

Billy was twenty-three years old.

“Happy birthday, baby,” Steve said into the scruff of his hair, pressing a kiss to his shoulder before pulling him in even tighter. One arm was trapped under Billy’s neck; he grinned and breathed it all in: their bed, their home, their life as two lovers with nothing in the way. “Sleep okay?”

“Mm…” Billy turned his face further into Steve’s arm, further into the light despite saying, “Still ‘sleep.”

Steve laughed. “Yeah?” That voice could have broken Billy’s heart and put it back together again, but it was always held so safely in the same hands that pushed frizzy curls from his face. “Want me to make your coffee?”

“No. Stay.”

“Okay, okay, I’m staying.”

To be with Steve Harrington was to be treated like royalty by the king himself. Gentle hands over his, intertwining their fingers together and having a conversation through shifting thumbs and intermittent squeezing. Billy had never known that with anyone in his life, which made it all the more worrisome when Steve let go. But it was to place that hand on Billy’s waist or his hip, to run through his hair, to massage his back and shoulder. Billy sucked in a hard breath when Steve rubbed too hard into a sore muscle, but he just moved closer.

Steve chuckled. “Were you dreaming about me?” Billy had pressed against his thigh, hips almost flush if it weren’t for the pulsing case of morning wood stiffly between them. He groaned—whimpered, nearly—and rolled his hips once, long and slow, with a pout that he failed to hide. His face was in Steve’s chest now, sleepy and embarrassed and hot just above the sheets. “You are so cute.”

“Shut the hell up.”

“Hmm, no, I don’t think so.”

A big, delicate hand scratched down from Billy’s neck to his side, then pulled him in harder, right up against a thigh that pushed up between his legs. He sighed, deep and heavy, utterly blissed, desperate and needy. “Steve…”

“Hm?”

Billy sighed again.

“Shh, baby, c’mere,” Steve said, hand up again to lift Billy’s chin. They met for a short kiss that turned longer as the seconds went by, and Billy shoved more into Steve’s limited space. He chased the flavor, wanting as much as he could get before he lost him again. “Look at me… there’s my pretty boy.”

Billy crooned again, pressing harder against Steve like he was trying to merge with him into one, which he often did when he got shy. And just like every time he did, Steve rolled him over onto his back and kissed him to tell him to lay down, let me do the work. Just lay there and let me love you. Billy was weakest to his kiss when it was everywhere: lips, neck, chest; teeth bared over a nipple, but Steve didn’t bite. Not now. Not yet. He rose back to Billy’s mouth and captured it with his own, brought a hand up to Billy’s chest and rubbed over his pec. Massaged a little. Kneaded into his skin, let his thumb roll over the other nipple and pinch it between his fingers.

“I’m so proud of you,” Steve told him, smiling wider when his head turned away.

“What the hell for…”

“You know what for.” His voice was too sweet for Billy to take, even five years later, even after countless utterances of the same thing. Each one came with something new. Billy getting his own little apartment when they were nineteen, his job promotion soon following. Asking Steve to go with him for his first therapy session. New opportunities that he took in stride and the confidence Steve found with him. “You’re here.” Letting Steve pull him back and hold him at the quarry, trembling and refusing to admit his tears and bloody nose and bloody eyebrow and bloody knuckles, when he was seventeen. “We’re here.” In sunny San Diego after arguing for so long about whether Billy deserved to see it again.

Billy didn’t say anything. He’d have still denied it if Steve asked whether he was crying or told him he didn’t have to, so Steve did neither. He slid his palm back up instead, wiped one teardrop away with his thumb and kissed the other. Kissed Billy’s lips and tongue. Steve said, “I know you don’t want to make today a big deal or anything—“

“Steve.”

“Billy, let me finish.” With a playfully stern glare, he put his thumb over Billy’s lips to keep him quiet. Billy opened up and hooked him in his teeth. It still worked. “I made reservations for nine tonight.”

“Steve…”

“Billy, they’re for our restaurant”—the one they went to for their first west-coast date—“at our table, and I know you think about that pineapple upside-down cake every day of your life.”

He pouted; it was true. “What if they don’t have it?”

“I threatened them to make sure they do.”

Billy laughed, shoved him away, and didn’t fight when Steve pulled him back in with a kiss to his temple. “You’re an idiot.”

“Guess you’ve got good taste then, huh?” Billy laughed and rolled back onto his side, into Steve’s chest, clinging to him with an arm and a leg while Steve scratched the back of his head. He muffled something under Steve’s arm. “What’d you say?”

Billy lifted his head, peeking between Steve and the sheets. “I love you.”

Steve whispered. “I love you too.” Their kiss that time reminded Billy of what he’d woken up from, and it seemed that Steve never forgot when he trailed back down to Billy’s hip and to the waistband of his briefs. Billy’s face was pink and tear-stained, so soft when Steve asked, “Want me to take care of this for you?”

“Please?”

He was just too sweet.

“Anything for you, birthday boy,” Steve said into another kiss that followed his hand under the tight cotton over Billy’s bulge. Under the covers where he could be warm and cared for, still focused on Steve’s eyes and his voice when he said again, “I’m so proud of you, Billy.”

“You mean it?” He’d unraveled years ago.

“Yeah, I do.”

If Billy started crying again, maybe he could admit it this time. Let Steve tell him it was okay because he still had trouble believing it sometimes. “Let it out, baby,” he said with Billy trembling in his hand, a knee shoving hard into his thigh, breathing heavy, stomach tensing, heart beating out of his chest. He came with a louder cry than he anticipated. “That’s it, let it all out…” Steve rubbed him until there was nothing left but the mess on his belly and between Steve’s fingers. “Feel better?”

Billy nodded. Satisfied enough, Steve reached over for a few tissues before pulling the covers down, careful not to get them sticky, and wipe him down as much as he could. “You’re gorgeous,” Steve said. “Do you know that?”

“I’m cold.”

“I know, I know, I’m almost done.”

“Can we sleep a little longer?”

“We can do whatever you want.” With that, the tissues were tossed away, sheets pulled back up over Billy, his underwear tangled somewhere near their feet, and he snuggled into Steve again. Steve closed his eyes, kissed Billy’s head, and slept.

It was a good birthday so far.

Goodbye To You - Part 2

Then Pak invited me to get a massage. How could I say no to that? He had bought a massage table for the terrace outside our room. I approved of the purchase.

It was a good day. It had been peaceful. I enjoyed my massage. I put on my clothes and went inside to check on Vera.

And that’s when it became a bad day.

Cleo had passed away in her sleep. My beautiful, sassy Cleo.

Pak heard my crying and went to ask what was wrong, but he realized what it was. Before he could hug me, Vera was crying. He said he’d get her.

I cried. And cried.

Cleo had been my first true friend after I left my old life behind. My companion. My fur-baby. I was devastated. I somehow managed to call the vet’s office and arrange for her to be cremated. I don’t even know how I did it. I just knew it had be done.

Pak stayed with Vera and Salem, though he offered to go with me and have one of the neighbors watch Vera for us. I felt I needed to do it myself. Cleo and I. One last time. I got her to the vet’s office and that was that.

❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧

Time passed by. I missed Cleo like crazy. I felt I was crazy at times, because I thought I’d catch a glimpse of her out of the corner of my eye. Though Salem and Cleo weren’t close at all. I noticed he would never eat out of her food bowl if we put food in it for him. He’d sometimes just look at it and walk away. I think he understood she wasn’t around anymore.

Pak got a promotion at work, which made him happy. I was happy for him. Vera was growing like a weed.

Before I knew it, she wasn’t a baby anymore. She was a toddler.

A toddler that gave her Mom hugs anytime she needed them. It was so sweet.

Pak started working with her on her flash cards. He wanted her more than ready for preschool when the time came. And it helped her to start talking. Her first word was actually kitty.

She started standing on her own and moving around pretty well. She seemed to be very smart, but maybe I was biased.

Salem seemed to take a huge interest in Vera. It kind of surprised me. But he seemed to stay by her side a lot. Maybe he felt it was his duty to keep an eye on her. Whatever it was, I thought it was adorable. And I appreciated the extra help from him.

Vera really seemed to like him too. She also seemed to be good with him. I was a little worried she might be a little rough at first, but she wasn’t.

Pregnancy Massage Therapy in Orangeville: Nurturing Comfort for Expecting Mothers

Pregnancy is a beautiful journey filled with excitement, anticipation, and, at times, physical discomfort. As a woman’s body undergoes significant changes to nurture new life, it’s common to experience tension, aches, and fatigue. One of the most effective ways to alleviate these discomforts is through pregnancy massage therapy. In Orangeville, this specialized therapy provides expecting mothers with the nurturing comfort they need during this transformative time.

Understanding Pregnancy Massage Therapy

Pregnancy massage therapy is designed specifically for the needs of pregnant women. Unlike regular massage, it takes into consideration the physiological and emotional changes that occur during pregnancy. This form of therapy uses gentle techniques to relieve tension and promote relaxation without putting stress on the mother or baby.

Benefits of Pregnancy Massage Therapy

Alleviates Physical Discomfort: As the body adapts to accommodate a growing baby, many women experience back pain, hip discomfort, and leg cramps. Massage therapy can help relieve these symptoms by improving circulation and reducing muscle tension.

Reduces Stress and Anxiety: The emotional journey of pregnancy can be overwhelming. Massage therapy promotes relaxation by lowering cortisol levels and boosting the production of endorphins, helping to ease anxiety and create a sense of calm.

Enhances Sleep Quality: Many pregnant women struggle with sleep disturbances. Massage therapy can improve sleep patterns by relaxing the mind and body, making it easier to find restful slumber.

Improves Circulation: Increased blood volume during pregnancy can lead to swelling in the legs and feet. Massage therapy enhances circulation, which can help reduce swelling and promote overall wellness.

Supports Postural Changes: As the belly grows, the body’s center of gravity shifts, often leading to postural issues. Pregnancy massage therapy can help realign the body and alleviate discomfort caused by poor posture.

What to Expect During a Session

During a pregnancy massage session, therapists use specially designed pillows and cushions to ensure that expecting mothers are comfortable and supported. The therapist will typically start with a thorough assessment, discussing any specific areas of discomfort or concern.

The massage techniques may include gentle kneading, stretching, and light pressure, focusing on the back, shoulders Pain, hips, and legs. It’s essential to communicate with the therapist throughout the session, ensuring that the pressure and techniques used are comfortable and enjoyable.

Finding a Qualified Therapist in Orangeville

When seeking pregnancy massage therapy, it’s crucial to choose a qualified therapist with experience in prenatal massage. Look for licensed massage therapists who have received specialized training in this area. In Orangeville, many wellness centers offer dedicated pregnancy massage services, ensuring that mothers-to-be receive the care and attention they deserve.

Conclusion

Pregnancy massage therapy in Orangeville provides an invaluable resource for expecting mothers seeking comfort and relief from the physical and emotional challenges of pregnancy. With its multitude of benefits, this holistic approach not only nurtures the body but also fosters a sense of well-being during one of life’s most significant transitions. If you’re an expecting mother, consider exploring the soothing world of pregnancy massage therapy—you deserve it!

A baby brings immense joy and happiness for its parents along with a lot of responsibility. As parents, ensuring the well-being of our little ones becomes our top priority. Among the many nurturing practices, Shishu Abhyanga, or baby massage, stands out as a time-honored tradition cherished for centuries across cultures. It's not just about relaxation; it's a powerful way to promote your baby's physical and emotional well-being while fostering a deep connection between parent and child. In this article, we delve into the profound benefits of Shishu Abhyanga, explore the art of performing it, and discuss essential precautions.

Shishu Abhyanga at GS Ayurveda Medical College and Hospital:

In the realm of Ayurveda, the holistic science of health and wellness, the practice of Shishu Abhyanga stands as a cornerstone for promoting the physical, emotional, and psychological development of infants. GS Ayurveda Medical College and Hospital, one of the Best Private BAMS Colleges in Delhi-NCR, renowned for its dedication to traditional Ayurvedic practices, offers a comprehensive approach to infant massage, nurturing the bond between parent and child while fostering the baby's overall growth. The college also provides Ayurveda Medicine Course in various specializations. BAMS Colleges in UP provide comprehensive training in Shishu Abhyanga to the baby care-takers.

Introduction to Shishu Abhyanga:

What is Shishu Abhyanga?

Shishu Abhyanga is the practice of massaging a baby's body using gentle strokes and soothing oils. This ancient technique has been passed down through generations and is cherished for its numerous benefits.

The tactile experience of gentle strokes and loving touch during Shishu Abhyanga fosters a deep emotional connection between the parent and the baby. It strengthens the bond and reinforces feelings of security and trust, laying a foundation for healthy attachment.

Cultural significance and history

Across cultures, baby massage holds immense cultural significance. In India, for example, it's deeply rooted in Ayurveda, the traditional system of medicine. Similarly, in many other parts of the world, from Africa to South America, parents have been massaging their babies for centuries, recognizing its importance in promoting health and well-being.

Benefits of Shishu Abhyanga:

Physical benefits: Shishu Abhyanga offers a multitude of physical benefits for your baby. It helps in improving blood circulation, promoting healthy weight gain, and aiding digestion. Additionally, it can relieve muscular tension and promote overall growth and development.

Emotional benefits: Beyond the physical, baby massage is incredibly soothing for infants. It reduces stress hormones, promotes the release of feel-good hormones like oxytocin, and helps regulate your baby's mood, leading to a happier, more contented little one.

Bonding between parent and baby: Perhaps one of the most significant benefits of Shishu Abhyanga is the bond it fosters between parent and child. Through nurturing touch, parents and babies communicate love, trust, and security, laying the foundation for a strong, healthy relationship.

Aids in Digestion: Gentle massage movements applied to the baby's abdomen in a clockwise direction can aid in relieving gas and promoting digestion. This can be particularly beneficial for babies struggling with colic or constipation.

Boosts Immunity: The gentle pressure and rhythmic motions of Shishu Abhyanga stimulate the lymphatic system, which plays a crucial role in immune function. Regular massages may help enhance the baby's immune response, offering protection against common illnesses.

Improves Sleep Quality: A calm and relaxed state induced by Shishu Abhyanga can contribute to improved sleep patterns in babies. Massaging before bedtime can signal to the baby that it's time to wind down, promoting deeper and more restful sleep.

Choosing the Right Oil:

Importance of selecting the right oil: The choice of oil for baby massage is crucial. Opt for natural, chemical-free oils that are gentle on your baby's delicate skin. Avoid perfumed oils or those containing synthetic additives.

Best oils for baby massage: Some of the best oils for baby massage include coconut oil, almond oil, and sesame oil. These oils are nourishing, easily absorbed, and unlikely to cause irritation or allergic reactions.

Safety considerations: Before applying any oil to your baby's skin, perform a patch test to check for allergic reactions. Additionally, ensure the oil is warm but not too hot, and always massage gently, avoiding any areas of irritation or sensitivity.

Preparing for the Massage:

Setting the mood: A serene environment is essential for a relaxing massage experience.  Create a calming atmosphere for your baby's massage. Switch off the lights or dim it, play soothing music (not loud, instrumental preferred), and remove any distractions. This will help both you and your baby relax and enjoy the experience fully.

Ensuring safety and comfort: Choose a warm, draft-free room for the massage, and lay down a soft towel or blanket for your baby to lie on. Keep all massage supplies within easy reach to avoid any interruptions during the session.

Gathering supplies: Before you begin, gather all the necessary supplies, including oil, a soft towel or blanket, and a clean diaper. Having everything prepared in advance will make the massage more enjoyable for both you and your baby.

Techniques for Shishu Abhyanga:

Gentle strokes: When massaging your baby, use gentle, rhythmic strokes with just enough pressure to be soothing. Start with the legs and work your way up to the chest, arms, and back, paying extra attention to any areas of tension or discomfort.

Specific areas to focus on: Certain areas of your baby's body may benefit from extra attention. For example, massaging the abdomen can help relieve gas and constipation, while gentle strokes on the chest can promote easier breathing.

Duration and frequency: Aim for short massage sessions of around 10 to 15 minutes, once or twice a day. Pay attention to your baby's cues; if they seem restless or fussy, it may be a sign that they've had enough.

Bonding through Touch:

Importance of touch for babies: Touch is your baby's first language, and it plays a vital role in their development. Through nurturing touch, babies learn to feel loved, secure, and valued, laying the foundation for healthy relationships later in life.

Strengthening the parent-child relationship: Shishu Abhyanga provides a unique opportunity for parents to bond with their babies on a deep emotional level. It's a time for undivided attention, love, and affection, strengthening the parent-child bond with each gentle stroke.

Building trust and security: When you massage your baby, you're not just soothing their body; you're also comforting their soul. By responding to your baby's cues and providing them with comfort and security, you're laying the groundwork for a trusting, secure attachment.

Promoting Baby's Sleep:

Calming effects of massage: One of the most well-known benefits of Shishu Abhyanga is its ability to promote better sleep. The gentle, rhythmic strokes help calm your baby and relax the baby which in turn promotes undisrupted and healthy sleep to the baby.

Enhances Relaxation: Just as adults benefit from a soothing massage after a long day, babies too experience relaxation through gentle kneading and stroking. Shishu Abhyanga helps release tension in the baby's muscles, promoting relaxation and reducing fussiness.

Precautions and Safety Measures: While Shishu Abhyanga offers numerous benefits, it's essential to exercise caution to ensure the baby's safety. Avoid applying excessive pressure, especially around delicate areas such as the spine or fontanelle. Keep nails trimmed to prevent scratching, and always monitor the baby's cues for discomfort.

When to Avoid Baby Massage: Certain circumstances warrant refraining from baby massage, such as when the baby has a fever, skin infections, or other underlying health conditions. Consult with a pediatrician before initiating massage if you have any concerns about the baby's health.

Expert Advice and Recommendations: Insights from experienced Ayurvedic practitioners emphasize the importance of nurturing touch and loving communication during Shishu Abhyanga. They recommend maintaining a gentle yet firm pressure, tuning into the baby's cues, and creating a nurturing atmosphere conducive to relaxation and bonding.

The Role of a Pediatric Dentist in Managing Common Childhood Dental Issues

As children navigate the exciting journey of growing up, their oral health becomes a crucial aspect of their overall well-being. From the moment their first tooth erupts to the transition into their permanent dentition, children face a unique set of dental challenges that require specialized care and attention. This is where the expertise of a pediatric dentist comes into play, providing tailored solutions to ensure the healthy development and protection of young smiles.In this comprehensive article, we'll explore the role of a pediatric dentist in managing the most common childhood dental issues, shedding light on the specialized techniques and treatments employed to safeguard the oral health of children.

Early Childhood Caries: Preventing and Treating Tooth Decay

One of the most prevalent dental concerns among children is early childhood caries, also known as baby bottle tooth decay. This type of tooth decay can develop rapidly, particularly in infants and toddlers, and can lead to significant problems if left untreated.

Pediatric dentists are specifically trained to identify the risk factors and underlying causes of early childhood caries, which may include prolonged bottle-feeding, frequent snacking on sugary foods, and poor oral hygiene habits. They then work closely with parents and caregivers to implement comprehensive preventive measures, such as:

Recommending appropriate feeding practices and weaning techniques

Introducing effective brushing and flossing routines

Applying fluoride treatments to strengthen tooth enamel

Providing nutritional counseling to promote healthy eating habits

In cases where tooth decay has already developed, pediatric dentists employ a range of minimally invasive treatment options, including:

Fillings and crowns to restore damaged teeth

Pulp therapy (root canal treatment) for severely decayed teeth

Extraction of severely compromised teeth, when necessary

By addressing early childhood caries promptly and effectively, pediatric dentists help prevent the spread of decay, alleviate pain and discomfort, and ensure the proper development of the child's dentition.

Teething and Eruption Difficulties: Providing Comfort and Guidance

The process of teething can be a challenging and uncomfortable experience for young children, often resulting in irritability, drooling, and difficulty sleeping. Pediatric dentists play a crucial role in guiding parents through this transitional period, offering practical solutions to alleviate the associated symptoms.

These specialists are trained to identify the various stages of tooth eruption and provide age-appropriate recommendations for soothing teething discomfort, such as:

Suggesting the use of teething rings, gum massagers, or cold compresses

Advising on the safe use of over-the-counter pain relievers or numbing gels

Providing guidance on proper oral hygiene and the introduction of first toothbrushes

In some cases, pediatric dentists may also identify and address any underlying issues that may be contributing to the child's teething difficulties, such as misaligned teeth or delayed eruption patterns.By addressing teething and eruption problems proactively, pediatric dentists help ensure a smooth and comfortable transition into the child's primary dentition, setting the stage for a lifetime of good oral health.

Thumb-Sucking and Pacifier Habits: Guidance for Healthy Oral Development

Many children develop habits such as thumb-sucking or pacifier use, which, if prolonged, can have a significant impact on the alignment and development of their teeth and jaws. Pediatric dentists are well-equipped to provide support and guidance to parents in addressing these habits effectively.

Through regular check-ups and consultations, pediatric dentists monitor the child's dental development and identify any potential issues arising from these habits, such as:

Overbite or underbite

Palatal (roof of the mouth) deformation

Altered speech patterns

They then work collaboratively with parents to implement strategies for breaking these habits, which may include:

Recommending age-appropriate methods to discourage the habit, such as using specialized appliances or positive reinforcement

Providing alternative, healthier coping mechanisms

Educating parents on the importance of addressing the habit before it becomes entrenched and causes lasting dental problems

By proactively addressing thumb-sucking and pacifier habits, pediatric dentists help ensure the proper development of the child's teeth and jaws, preventing the need for more extensive orthodontic treatment in the future.

Sports-Related Dental Injuries: Protecting Young Athletes' Smiles

As children become more active in sports and recreational activities, the risk of dental injuries increases. Pediatric dentists play a crucial role in protecting young athletes' smiles by promoting the use of custom-fitted mouthguards and providing prompt emergency care when accidents do occur.During routine check-ups, pediatric dentists assess each child's unique dental anatomy and bite patterns, and then work with the family to create custom mouthguards that offer superior protection and comfort. These specialized devices help absorb the impact of blows to the face, reducing the risk of teeth being knocked out, cracked, or displaced.In the event of a sports-related dental injury, pediatric dentists are equipped to provide immediate care and stabilize the affected teeth, often in collaboration with other healthcare professionals. They can perform procedures such as re-implanting knocked-out teeth, splinting broken or displaced teeth, and managing soft tissue injuries to the lips, cheeks, and gums.By prioritizing the use of custom mouthguards and providing prompt emergency care, pediatric dentists play a vital role in safeguarding the long-term oral health and well-being of young athletes.

Conclusion

The role of a pediatric dentist in managing common childhood dental issues is truly invaluable. These specialized healthcare professionals are dedicated to the unique needs and challenges faced by children, employing a comprehensive and compassionate approach to ensure the optimal development and protection of young smiles.From preventing and treating early childhood caries to guiding parents through teething difficulties and addressing oral habits, pediatric dentists are the guardians of children's oral health. By addressing these issues proactively and providing tailored solutions, they not only safeguard the immediate well-being of their young patients but also lay the foundation for a lifetime of healthy and confident smiles.If you're a parent seeking exceptional dental care for your child, I encourage you to explore the services and expertise offered by a qualified pediatric dentist in your local area. With their specialized knowledge and commitment to personalized care, they can play a crucial role in promoting your child's overall health and well-being.
