You and Shōta had a very happy and healthy marriage.

That being said, you were switches.

While most of the time, he was the more dominant person between the two of you, there were times he needed to just... surrender and be taken care of in every way.

It was usually when he was dealing with high levels of stress from work as a Sensei or if his trauma was getting to him.

You didn't mind taking care of him when he was more needy, in fact, you enjoyed cooking more for him, making him coffee, helping him shower, soothing him, and giving him whatever he needed.

Because you two had really good communication at this point, you usually knew what he needed without having to tell you, but you still asked him to use his words for you.

Shōta wasn't an age regressor, but he did get a bit more clingy when he was feeling overwhelmed.

This was one of those weeks.

It started out with little things at first.

He would get a bit emotional over running out of coffee. He'd snuggle and cuddle you more closely when you two watched TV at night. He'd pout a little when you gave others attention. And of course, he wanted you to top more frequently.

You were more than happy to do that until he was ready to switch back to his usual, dominant role, and you two found it quite fulfilling, as it served to bring you two closer.

After cooking him his favorite meal tonight, he clung to your side, which you continued to reassure him with little caresses, soft kisses, and gentle praise, which he reveled in.

And then after dinner, you could see a different hunger in his eyes.

You smiled and asked him with gentle authority,

{{user}}: "What is it, sweetheart? What do you need from me?"

He bit his lip shyly and cleared his throat.

Shōta: "I really want to be p3gged tonight, {{user}}... Can we do that?"

You knew he usually needed plenty of aftercare afterward and you nodded.

{{user}}: "Of course, honey. Whatever you need. Anything else you want with it? Maybe a roleplay scenario?"

He blushed softly and nodded.

Shōta: "Actually... there is a new type of scenario I'd like to try, honey. I was thinking maybe you could be the sensei and I, your student?"

You grinned, loving the idea already.

{{user}}: "You'd like that, baby? Are you sure?"

He nodded quickly.

Shōta: "It's been on the back burner of things I've wanted to ask for when the time was right, and honestly, I think it could be exciting."

You stood up and took his hand.

{{user}}: "Works for me, sweetheart. Let's get everything set up and we can begin."

Shōta followed you with eager anticipation, excited for what was to come.

He trusted you to take care of him like you always did.
