Alucard🍷 & Aizawa🪢 Asks (hc's both)

self care (39)

Hello there, I am a big believer in self-care and I've been wondering; how would Shouta, Alucard, and D respond to a partner who wants to take care of and pamper them after a difficult or tiring mission?

For example, washing their hair for them applying moisturizing lotion or oil to massage all of the kinks and knots out their tired sore muscles. Maybe paying special attention to any of their scars and old wounds. Laying soft kisses on them and assuring them of our undying love and devotion regardless of what they may have done in the past or may do in the future and regardless of whether they are human or Monster.

📍So I looked up self care to make sure I was on the same page. "Self-care has been defined as the process of taking care of oneself with behaviors that promote health and active management of illness when it occurs.[1] Individuals engage in some form of self-care daily with food choices, exercise, sleep, and dental care"

I know it as Maslow's hierarchy of Needs. Only if schools in America bothered to have this concept taught to teachers. What 'child' is going to learn Algebra if they only eat from school. Or their sleep in school is all they get due to outside the school? People can't learn if basic needs or the first step of Maslow's isn't met.

📍I will start with the order each one is listed. That means Shouta is first.

🪢Shouta Aizawa

•Aizawa is terrible at self care! He's exhausted and doesn't eat well. People have mistaken him for a hobo in a yellow sleeping bag. The Japanese are heavily into hygiene so Shouta isn't smelly but maybe occasionally using conditioner on his hair.

•This is where you come in. At first you started with him eating healthy cooked meals made at home or picked up. The time spent cooking helps him relax and come down from his students or patrols. You hate it when he eats and runs to patrol but you feel better knowing he's fed well.

•Dry or oil massage to Shouta's body would be heaven to him. The intimacy of your fingers massaging and gently stroking the scars. His right elbow could be pre-arthritic and you help ease the stiffness. If not using oil, the light kisses to each of his scars. His scar(s) on the right eye are tender and sensitive to touch. Your lips are soft and feel amazing to that spot.

•His gorgeous raven black hair being brushed and his scalp massaged. He seems to be the type to get his hair tie too tight and get headaches because of it pulling constantly for hours. Even such things as having his hair braided too without pulling hard. (My mom yanked when braiding)

•Just this pampering alone helps him get more restful sleep too. Now the sleep part is covered.

•At first he would silently protest as he is supposed to pamper you. You remind him he can't pamper if he's take care of himself first.

🍷Vampire King

•Alucard is tricky. As he no longer dies from injury and illness, his self care is about zero unless killing lots of poorly created "children". Don't tell me he isn't All Father of any direct or indirect vampire.

•His melancholy periods are most likely due to poor self care from his past. As once living, many held his fate in their cruel hands. Spoiling and pampering are not the same thing in my opinion. Spoiling is wanting all the time. Pampering is when you need it through self-care.

•Your touch is something he craves secretly. How fingers stroked and kneaded his muscles to relax. He may just reveal something deep and secret. Alucard taking on his Vlad form (in my universe he can just not have the powers accessible). And there you will see all of his scars from his life. Supposedly as a teenager he was whipped on the back while in the Sultan's care. (Mehmed's father)

•With such beautiful hair that only a vampire could manage, it still feels amazing to have it brushed or played with. Putting braids in Alucard's hair would be like braiding an elf's hair. He would look stunning too! Though the Lily white ass once shadow enhanced his hair so the braid came out. You pouted at him and refused to continue so no more jokes in that way with his obsidian black hair.

•Hot baths would be enjoyable. To stretch out and share one together. Yes he would smirk when you insisted on a bubble bath. He needs to pamper you too so it's a go for the bubble bath. By the way don't ask me about the dirt and grim on Alucard and tons of showering. Maybe turning to shadow the dirt and stuff comes off?

⚜️Vampire Hunter D

•This one doesn't do self care either. It's usually Lefty getting to participate in a drinking game. I believe it's from Scenes of an Unholy War, the reader learns about some alcoholic drinks served.

•Because he is hated so badly, he rarely gets a room or stays the night. Though on occasion he will eat or drink at the establishment. He also tends to get sexually harassed by human women when the fear is gone.

•So now you came into his life. Just your daily routines, reminds D of things he neglected. One would be finding a secluded location, de-monsterized first, to enjoy a bath or swim in a lake or stream. To soak in a hot spring, with Lefty having mud on his face.

•Once men with long hair though D's isn't nearly as close as Alucard's. Long hair is heavy to the head and the process of getting help brushing it is so relaxing. Chimpanzees groom each other so it's a primate kinda thing.

•Getting him to try more foods and drinks minus Lefty doing the consuming. Can you imagine the looks? It confuses humans enough when Lefty does the talking or butts in as his voice is completely not like D's. Pleasure can be found in food and drink, especially if you are stopped for a period of time to be able to cook meals regularly. It's always moderation for us humans though.

•He doesn't have one scar on him but when he does get injured, your mind remembers the location. When just you and him, you touch and massage the former injury spots. Perhaps D has a phantom memory of some injuries even though it healed long ago.

📍

So hopefully this is kinda what you had in mind. This took a bit for my mind to come up with. Alucard and D bring immortal and vampire related, we never see or hear about certain things like showers and dirt or oily bodies that need a shower.

Shouta Aizawa is helpful being a mortal though he probably has serious PTSD at this point. So self care should be a huge part of life but most likely ignores his needs for others.
