Sunburn Strawberry by ImoutoCommissions

The day before had been so much fun that it's hard to believe Ichigo is 
as miserable as she is right now. She had a fantastic time on the beach 
with all her friends, but now, it seems that that fun has come at quite 
the cost. The worst part is that everyone else can enjoy their time at 
the beach today, but she is stuck inside, suffering as she laments all 
the time spent in the sun the day before.

She's laid out on the bed she and Masaya are sharing at Ryou's beach 
house, her sunburn absolutely unbearable. Every bit of her skin is red, 
besides the parts her bikini covers, and she really does resemble a 
strawberry in this state. Her ears and tail are limp and she moans 
miserably from time to time. Masaya enters the room, carrying a large 
tub of aloe vera and surveys the pathetic scene before him.

He sits down on the bed and asks softly, "How is my little strawberry 
feeling?"

"I feel like even my scalp, ears, and tail are on fire," she replies, 
her voice coming out raspy.

Reflexively, Masaya rests a comforting hand on her shoulder, not really 
thinking as he does it. She lets out a loud scream of agony, as even the 
lightest touch causes her to recoil in pain. She begins to cry from the 
pain, but the tears that streak down her cheeks feel like acid, it hurts 
so much.

"I'm so sorry!" Masaya says quickly, feeling absolutely terrible. "I'm 
so, so sorry, i wasn't thinking and I just wanted to make you feel 
better!" She mumbles something to him that he thinks is her forgiveness, 
and then he decides to try to remove her swimsuit. However, he can't 
think of any way to do it with how much pain she's in, and finally 
settles for cutting the fabric away. He's delicate with it, finally 
exposing her pale skin, showing the stark contrast between her natural 
skin tone and the redness of her sunburn.

He looks her over, and she notices this, looking away and mumbling, 
"Don't look at how ugly I am right now."

"Don't say that," he replies quickly. "I think you're beautiful even 
like this." Naturally, she doesn't believe him, but he doesn't let his 
sincere gaze falter until she reluctantly nods.

Finally, he opens the tub and liberally coats his hands in the aloe 
vera. He is very gentle in how he touches her this time, but 
fortunately, the cool gel soothes her irritated skin enough that he's 
able to massage her lightly, and she relaxes under his touch as he 
covers her as much as he can.

Eventually, he says, "I need to get it on your back now. Do you think 
you can turn over for me?"

"I don't know," she replies, but she does her best, wincing and forcing 
herself over, despite the pain. Finally, she manages to turn over 
completely so that he can reach her back. He's just as gentle with her 
back, coating her in the gel, before he decides to apply some to her 
scalp, ears, and tail, doing everything that he can to soothe her burns. 
Even though this makes her hair and fur rather sticky, she's still 
grateful for this, letting out a soft sigh of relief.

Once he thinks that he's done everything he can to ease her sunburn, he 
begins massaging her butt, one of the few areas not covered in a burn. 
She wriggles as much as she can, given how painful moving can be, and he 
smiles, reaching his hand down lower and working a finger inside of her. 
She lets out a moan, mumbling, "I'm in no state for this."

"I hate seeing my strawberry in this much pain," he replies. "I want to 
give you whatever pleasure I can. Don't worry about returning the favor 
until you're healed."

It's no easier for her to roll back over, but it makes it easier for him 
to finger her and to play with her breasts, leaving her moaning in 
pleasure and forgetting her pain for just a moment. He rolls one nipple 
between his fingers while he toys with her clit, and both of them are 
glad that she isn't in pain in those areas. It isn't long before she has 
a small orgasm, gasping out in delight. After that, the two of them rest 
together, with Masaya ready to apply aloe whenever a spot starts to lare 
up for her.

At some point, she begins to squirm desperately, whining, "I really need 
to pee, but I don't think I can even sit up, much less make it to a 
toilet."

He opens his mouth to tell her to just wet the bed then, that he won't 
mind cleaning up after her, but then he realizes that that might just 
make the pain worse for her. He knows that he has to come up with 
another solution to the problem. Quickly, he thinks of something and 
rises, leaving the room and promising to be back soon.

She whines from her desperation, as even the slightest squirms are 
painful with her sunburn, meaning that she can't hope to grab herself or 
squeeze her thighs together to make it easier to hold it while she waits 
for him. When he does finally return, he's carrying a catheter and 
collection bag, and he says, "Pai is just as scary as always."

For a moment, she thinks of protesting, as she would normally be 
mortified to do something like this, but as it is, she's in far too much 
pain to care right now. Masaya is gentle as he works the tube into her, 
and she lets out a long sigh of relief as she's finally able to empty 
her bladder into it. It's been so difficult, doing even every day things 
like this with her sunburn, but she's very lucky to have Masaya here to 
take care of her, and helping her through this.

When her bladder is completely empty, Masaya says, "It's getting pretty 
late, I should probably go find somewhere else to sleep for the night."

"Can you stay close, please?" she asks. "I know you've already done so 
much, but if I need something in the night..."

"Of course, my little strawberry," he replies, more than willing to do 
whatever he needs to for her. He doesn't mind preparing himself a place 
to sleep on the floor, not wanting to risk bumping into her in the night 
and hurting her, and he sleeps lightly, ready at any moment to help her 
a little more.

She's still far from comfortable like this, but thanks to him, the 
sunburn is much more bearable.
