ronin x FTM reader recovering from top surgery

Since Ronin is trans and has already gone through top surgery himself, he'd have a good idea of what recovery is actually like. Before your surgery, he'd help you prepare your space, making sure everything you might need is within easy reach so you don't have to stretch or lift your arms afterward.

He'd be the one reminding you to follow your surgeon's instructions. Medications, drain care (if you have drains), hydration, compression garments—he'd help keep track of everything without making you feel like he's hovering. Rest is non-negotiable with him, but he'd also gently encourage you to take the short walks your care team recommends. He knows moving around a little helps recovery, so he'd happily walk beside you, even if it's just pacing around the house for a few minutes.

During that first week, he'd help you stay clean however your surgeon recommends. If you're not cleared to shower yet, he'd carefully help with sponge baths or washing your hair over the sink, making sure you're comfortable and preserving your privacy.

He'd absolutely spoil you with your favorite comfort foods, snacks, and sweets. Whether it's takeout from your favorite place or homemade meals that are easy to eat, he'd want to make sure you're eating enough to heal.

If you have your laptop nearby, he'd organize little movie nights or game nights with the Killer Chat crew so you don't feel isolated while you're stuck resting. Everyone would hop into voice chat to watch your favorite shows or movies together.

Don't even think about reaching for something on a high shelf during that first month. The second he notices you trying to get up for something, he's already standing. "What do you need? I'll get it. "He'd quietly take over most of the household chores without making a big deal out of it—laundry, dishes, groceries, cleaning—because he wants you focusing on healing instead of worrying about responsibilities.

He'd constantly remind you that healing isn't a race. On days when you're frustrated by swelling or limited movement, he'd reassure you that recovery takes time because he's been there himself.

If you're feeling emotional about seeing your chest for the first time, he'd sit with you through it. Whether you're excited, overwhelmed, relieved, or all three at once, he'd let you experience those feelings without trying to rush you through them.

Once you're cleared by your surgeon, he'd be so excited to celebrate the little milestones with you—getting your drains removed, sleeping comfortably again, wearing your first T-shirt without a binder, or eventually going swimming shirtless if that's something you've been looking forward to. Above all, he'd make sure you never feel like a burden. Every meal he brings, every pillow he adjusts, every glass of water he hands you—he'd do it because he loves you, not because he feels obligated to.
