Thinking sick tummy thoughts :((( /pos
Someone curled on their bed, hugging a pillow into their belly bc it just won’t calm down. It’s not just something in their stomach, resolved with a few burps or hours, nor something that gets taken care of with a bit of toilet camping. Everything is just moving slow and upsetting their guts, complaining awfully even though they didn’t eat anything to have it in knots like that.
Someone coming in and taking pity on them, hands rubbing their upset tummy even when the other person complains about the pressure at first. Squirming a bit when fingers press a bit too deep and let loose a flusteringly loud series of burbles and groans.
Their belly being so tight and crampy, and fitting very nicely in the helper’s hand bc of how heavy and full it is. How it gets louder and more active as their massage eases digestion and coaxes it to move.
Sick person having a few burps or farts worked out and being so embarrassed, even when the helper shushes them and tells them it’s nothing to be self conscious about. How their belly gets less tight, even though they’d been trying to make it behave this whole time to no avail! How self conscious they are whenever they feel the bed or their pants get warm when more is coaxed out of them, even when the helper doesn’t acknowledge it at all.
Maybe the massage helps a bit too much, and they have to scramble up and to the bathroom. Maybe they don’t scamper off right away, and are only convinced after a few too many uncomfortable groans and near accidents (because, really, it’s the best their tummy has felt all day, and they’re not too keen on losing helper’s touch).
Maybe helper and them are in an established relationship, just working past those little embarrassments. Maybe it’s build up with two mutual piners, intensified by the vulnerability of the situation and being forced to lower guards. Maybe they’re not romantically involved at all, and helper is truly just interested in making someone they care for feel better, embarrassment be damned.
