I was asked to write about gas station sushi, and to do my worst! (the person sent it off anon and asked me not to reply publically.)
Gas station sushi = being sick from both ends
The funniest thing, you reflect, is that you don't know how you wound up in this situation. You're sitting on the bed next to your boss, for whom you've nursed a crush for absolutely ages, and you're rubbing their upset tummy as they groan weakly, twitching in pain.
It starts earlier in the day. Mid-morning, you hear some suspicious sounds from your boss's office, and you poke your head in. You're their secretary, after all. While they assure you that nothing is wrong, they do look a little pale. They stifle a belch as they talk to you, and it doesn't take even ten minutes before you hear the door to their private bathroom open and shut.
Loud gagging results, and you wince sympathetically. It sounds terrible, and it takes ten minutes before you hear the door open again. You wait for the creak of the office chair, so you know they're settled again, and you knock tentatively on the door.
"I brought you some warm water, boss." Gratefully, they accept it, and you leave them to sip at it.
Lunch time comes and goes, and you persuade them to eat some plain crackers and have some tea, although they refuse it at first. After they're finished, though, they get progressively more nauseous, though they don't actually throw up.
Half an hour later, you hear the door slam shut. Some very private sounds are heard - you can barely make out your boss moaning and grunting, over the sounds of lots of splashing and flatulence. You wait until you're genuinely worried, and then this time you knock on the door of their washroom. In a weak voice, they tell you that they're fine, and so you go back to your seat. Not long after, you hear the door open. Your boss staggers to the sofa and lies down with a pained grunt, exhaling hard. You bring in more warm water and offer to get them a hot water bottle, although they decline.
Half an hour later, the same thing repeats - the slam, explosive flatulence, liquid sounds, and more pained groaning this time. While your boss was swearing up a storm the last time, this time they seem to be almost incoherent, just letting out little half-formed sentences comprising "ah" and "ow". When they stagger out, it's a good thing you're waiting. They nearly collapse, and you have to help them to the sofa. They're grateful for your offer to drive them home, and they hobble to their car.
Disaster strikes halfway through the ride. They were fine, just pale and wan when they got in, but they start feeling unwell once you start moving. Although you're driving as smoothly as you can, they have both hands clasped to themself - one hand over their mouth, and one hand below their navel. Initially, they were rubbing slow strokes into their belly, but it progressed to pressing their hand in and whimpering uncontrollably.
"I... I can't hold it. Please stop!" You pull over to the side of the road, and they stumble out of the car. Tugging their expensive office wear out of the way just in time, they release wave after wave of liquid, clamping their lips shut after the first wail leaves them. It's clear that they're very sick, and they begin gagging halfway through, although there's nothing in their stomach. Still, they heave painfully, bringing up stringy saliva and stomach acid. Throughout it, you stroke their back and try to soothe them, telling them they'll be alright.
With a final pathetic whimper, they push out one last burst of gas, and they don't dare to look you in the face out of shame. Still, you reach for the wet wipes you stashed in their car, and hand it to them. You help them up when they're done, going as far as to tug their clothes back into place when they've cleaned themself.
The rest of the ride back is uneventful, and your boss insists that they can shower on their own. Although you keep a close ear on what's happening, they make it through, before staggering through the doorway to their bedroom and nearly falling. Once you get them into bed, they just can't seem to get comfortable. Lying flat on their back stretches out their tender tummy too much, while lying on their side makes everything slosh uncomfortably, and lying on their front is out of the question. Finally, you take pity on them and tell them to lie on their back and bend their legs. You reach out your hand and start rubbing their stomach very carefully, trying to soothe their angry, inflamed insides. It does work, and they doze off fitfully, although they whimper in their sleep every now and then. You slip into the chair next to the bed, awaiting the next time they need your help.
