3rd person pov:
As the morning sun filtered through the curtains, Russia slowly awoke to a dull ache in his lower back. He shifted slightly, feeling the stiffness in his muscles, and noticed he was wearing one of China’s oversized shirts. The fabric was much too large for him, its sleeves draped over his hands and the hem falling well past his knees.
Attempting to get up, Russia winced as the discomfort in his back made him lose balance. He stumbled, and before he could react, he was on the floor. China, who had been stirring awake, immediately noticed and rushed to his side.
"Russ!" China exclaimed, his voice filled with concern. He carefully helped Russia back onto the bed, his hands gentle as he examined him for any signs of injury. “Are you okay? Does it hurt a lot?”
Russia managed a weak smile. “Just a bit sore,” he replied, though his discomfort was evident.
China nodded, his worry evident as he helped Russia sit up. “Let’s get you into a hot bath,” he said, lifting Russia with care. He guided him to the bathroom, filling the tub with warm water. The steam rising from the bath provided a soothing ambiance, and China helped Russia gently into the tub.
Once Russia was settled, China quickly exited to change the bed’s sheets. As he worked, his thoughts drifted back to the previous night. The memories brought a flush to his cheeks, a mix of tenderness and embarrassment. He recalled the intensity of their passion and the deep connection they had shared.
Returning to the bathroom, China’s face lit up with affection as he saw Russia relaxing in the tub. He smiled and began to carefully wash Russia, making sure to be gentle around the areas that were sore. The warmth of the water seemed to ease Russia’s discomfort, and he let out a contented sigh.
After their bath, China helped Russia out of the tub and dried him off, then gently assisted him in getting dressed. Russia was clad in nothing but China’s oversized shirt and a pair of boxers, a sight that China found utterly adorable. He couldn’t help but smile as he saw Russia’s smaller frame swallowed by his clothes.
Russia caught sight of his reflection in the mirror, noting the marks left from the previous night—faint red bruises and love bites scattered across his neck, collarbone, waist, and thighs.... Each mark was a testament to their intimate night, and despite the lingering soreness, Russia felt a deep sense of love and contentment. He touched the marks tenderly, a small smile playing on his lips as he thought of China.
China guided Russia back to the bed, carefully helping him sit. He then began to massage Russia’s lower back, applying firm but soothing pressure. The sensation was incredibly relieving, and Russia sighed in appreciation as the knots in his back slowly eased.
“How does that feel?” China asked, his voice soft and reassuring.
“Much better,” Russia replied, his eyes closing as he enjoyed the massage. “Thank you.”
China continued the massage with gentle, rhythmic movements, his hands skilled and attentive. He leaned over and placed a soft kiss on Russia’s shoulder. “I’m glad I could help,” he said, his tone filled with warmth.
As the massage continued, the pain in Russia’s back began to diminish, replaced by a sense of relaxation and comfort. He felt deeply cared for, his heart swelling with affection for China. The love they had shared the night before, though intense, had only brought them closer together.
China’s touches were tender and caring, each stroke of his hands a silent promise of his love and devotion. He remained by Russia’s side, ensuring that his partner felt cherished and well-cared for.
Eventually, China helped Russia get settled back into bed, pulling the covers up to keep him warm. As Russia rested, China sat beside him, his hand still gently rubbing his lower back.
“I love you, Russ,” China said softly, his voice full of emotion. “Thank you for everything.”
Russia looked up at him with a soft smile. “I love you too, China. I’m so happy we’re together.”
The morning continued in a peaceful, loving atmosphere, with China’s care helping Russia recover from the previous night’s intensity. It was a testament to their deep bond and mutual affection, solidifying their relationship even further.
