EnsTren: (seto's getting cranky at seth for n_ning over
her bleeding between the legs)
EnsTren: (she's all "it's disgusting")
Edmondia: (he's all, "it's normal!")
EnsTren: (and she's all "it's still disgusting!")
Edmondia: (and now he's all confused)
Edmondia: ("Wait, first you were mad because you couldn't
do this, and you're mad because you are?")
EnsTren: ("It's disgusting, it's icky and bleeding and
ucky.")
Edmondia: ("Millions of people put up with it too, hikari, and
they're doing just fine.")
EnsTren: ("I feel like crap.")
Edmondia: ("What do you need?")
EnsTren: ("I don't know, this has never happened to me
before when I was in a position to complain about it and
have it fixed, or not be concentrating on something else
more pressing.")
Edmondia: ("Hmn." He wrapped his arms around her
shoulders and rested his face against her hair. "Want me to
bring you the phone so you can call Mai-chan?")
EnsTren: ("Don't touch me, I'm filthy, there's a cloud of
blood between my legs in the water. And I don't want
to talk to Mai--well, yes. I always thought the cramps
were from hunger, so I want to make sure I'm all right.")
Edmondia: (He nuzzled his nose under her ear. "You forget
I'm used to this, babe. Cramping's normal, and if you want a
shower, I can get your clothes ready and lay out the bed for
you. With a hot water bottle for your tummy. Then you can
call Mai. Would you like that?")
EnsTren: ("You sure this is normal? I mean the entire
area felt like it was trying to wrap around my spine, but I
have enough food now.")
Edmondia: ("I lived in fairly close quarters with Aishizu for
years. If she didn't get regular massages during her time, heads
would roll. Quite literally. I bought some medicine for cramps
and bloating, at least that's what it said on the package...")
EnsTren: (She looked down at herself suddenly, "I
don't look fat do I?" There was a plaintive note in her
voice.)
Edmondia: (He looked down at her. "Hikari, I don't think you
have an ounce of fat on you. No.")
EnsTren: ("I do so have more than an ounce of fat!")
Edmondia: ("Okay, maybe just a little bit. You're still a slim
little thing, baby.")
EnsTren: ("You sure that's okay too?")
Edmondia: ("Yes, baby, that's okay too." He kissed her ear.
"You're pretty.")
EnsTren: ("You said Mai-chan was hot.")
Edmondia: ("Yes, she is. In a different way from you, baby.")
EnsTren: ("Oh..?" Searching tone, ah, hikari was fishing
for compliments. He didn't begrudge her for it though,
Ra knew she needed to feel better about her own
femininity and body.)
Edmondia: ("You're sweeter.")
EnsTren: ("Don't tell me you licked Mai-chan, please.")
Edmondia: (He wrinkled his nose. "Ugh, no. I meant in the
way you present yourself.")
EnsTren: ("Me, sweet?")
Edmondia: ("Well, to me, anyway. You're a lot shyer than
Mai-chan. It's cute.")
EnsTren: (She blushed.)
Edmondia: (He nuzzled her throat. "See? Cute.")
EnsTren: (She stared down.)
Edmondia: (He ruffled her hair. "I like the way you move.")
EnsTren: ("That I stalk?")
Edmondia: ("Well, I prefer when you slink, but the stalk has a
sort of razor-edged sexiness to it...")
EnsTren: (She turned over and pillowed her head on
the edge of the tub with her folded arms. "Tell me ?")
Edmondia: ("About the slinking or the stalking?")
EnsTren: ("Both," and she smiled at him.)
Edmondia: ("Slinking is sexy because only I get to see it.
And your hips roll very nicely. Stalking is sexy because it
show's you've got control and know how to use it.")
EnsTren: ("Even if I don't have control?")
Edmondia: ("When you're stalking you do.")
EnsTren: (She blushed and her eyes dropped.)
Edmondia: (He ran his fingers through her bangs. "Cute.")
EnsTren: She looked behind her and kicked the tab so
the water drained and pulled herself out, skin all shiny
and glistening as it shed water.
Edmondia: "Shower or clothes?" he questioned, offering her
a towel.
EnsTren: "I don't think I want to leave the bathroom,"
she mourned.
Edmondia: "Shower, then clothes and bed, and a hot water
bottle for your tummy?"
EnsTren: "...okay, and more chocolate."
Edmondia: "Chocolate and ice cream?"
EnsTren: "Uhm... do we have that shell stuff?"
Edmondia: "Shell stuff?"
EnsTren: "Special chocolate syrup that turns into a hard
shell on ice cream."
Edmondia: "I think so." He kissed her cheek, "Shower, then
clothes, then bed. I'll make you chocolate on ice cream."
EnsTren: "Kay..." She sighed and hid herself away in
the shower.
Edmondia: He fixed up her bed and made her ice cream and
then came back into the bathroom and knocked on the shower
door. "Hey baby, food's ready."
EnsTren: "Put my clothing and the pads down here
and I'll be out in a second."
Edmondia: "Okay." He did so and wandered out again. "I'll
bring you the phone."
EnsTren: "Thanks..."
EnsTren: The door closed and she slipped out to... use
the things that would keep her from bleeding
everywhere. Pads were bulky, but she couldn't touch a
tampon.
Edmondia: Oh, yami had bought her the thin ones!
EnsTren: She loved him even more for that, but still she
hated imagining how it would look in her typical tight
pants. Hmn... Perhaps she should see about getting a
perscription for birth control pills so she could control
when her period occured.
Edmondia: That seemed practical, she knew a lot of girls did
that, even if they weren't... involved with anyone.
EnsTren: She'd have to do more research, but it did
sound good.
Edmondia: Hmn, what had he left for her?
EnsTren: Jammies. Her yami was so smart.
Edmondia: Nice soft ones, with the top that always rode up,
so he could rub her tummy.
EnsTren: Or put the hot water bottle there. Her tummy
hurt too much for much rubbing, in fact she pushed the
pants down a bit so the elastic didn't press against her
abdomen.
Edmondia: Somehow she didn't think he'd mind much.
EnsTren: There was a hard stabbing feeling and she
whimpered and sniffled. It hadn't hurt this badly the first
two times!
Edmondia: Yami had mentioned something about medicine,
hadn't he?
EnsTren: She hesitated, not about the medicine but
about something else. What the hell. ...'ami?
Edmondia: Yes, baby?
EnsTren: I'm dressed... Carry me, please? Hurt's
shooting down to my knees...
Edmondia: Sure, baby, whatever you want. And he came
into the bathroom and lightly scooped her up, cradling her
against his chest. Better, baby?
EnsTren: She hissed and and nodded. You mentioned
medicine.
Edmondia: He carried her into the bedroom and gently settled
her onto the bed. Mmmhmm, baby, the kind that's supposed to
help cramps and other things associated with it. He reached
over to the bedstand and ripped a packet of pills in half,
dumping them into her palm. Here you go, pretty lady.
EnsTren: She peered at the tabs, Midol. I love you.
Really, I love you, now gimme the hot water bottle
and a glass of water.
Edmondia: Okay, baby. And he poured her a glass of water
and settled the hot water bottle low on her belly. Here?
EnsTren: She moaned softly and nodded right before
downing two pills.
Edmondia: He scooted back up to the head of the bed and
dropped a kiss on her forehead. Now, phone or ice cream?
EnsTren: ...Hmn... Can I have both?
Edmondia: Okay, baby. He kissed her lips quickly and
vaulted off the bed and out of the room, returning a few
moments later with a bowl of ice cream in one hand and the
phone in another. Here you go, pretty lady.
EnsTren: She smiled a thank you at him, pressed a
speed dial button, and dug into her ice cream.
Edmondia: He curled up next to her and watched her, a silly
little smile on his face.
EnsTren: She talked with Mai-chan, and was assured,
yes, feeling as if one's uterus was tied in a knot around
your spine was perfectly normal, starving or not.
Edmondia: And... Mai-chan wouldn't be offended if she
asked about those pills, would she?
EnsTren: Since when did she care about offending
people? Oh yeah, since she got friends.
Edmondia: Friends were... kind of nice. Not as nice as her
yami, of course, but nice.
EnsTren: So she hesitantly asked. Yami was better
because he couldn't leave.
Edmondia: And Mai-chan didn't seem to mind, quietly listing
off brand names and how they worked, and warned her that
changing them sometimes made hormones go wacky for a while
before they settled into a steady cycle.
EnsTren: Seto admitted she didn't know about that and
would talk to her doctors.
Edmondia: And then Mai-chan asked how she was holding
up, if everything was okay, did she have any more questions?
EnsTren: She assured her and asked a few more
questions on what was happening, a few for polite
conversation, and a few asking if she knew any good
chocolate shops.
Edmondia: Mai sure knew a lot of chocolate shops.
Edmondia: Her yami flipped the hot water bottle over.
EnsTren: She paused in talking so she could wiggle and
croon, barely managing to say the few words to explain
herself, "Hot water bottle good."
Edmondia: Her yami smiled at her and dropped a kiss against
her tummy, then tucked his head against the curve of her side
and closed his eyes.
EnsTren: "...My yami is a kitty, Mai-chan."
Edmondia: He opened an eye and stuck out his tongue.
Nyah.
EnsTren: Seto chuckled and scritched under his chin.
Edmondia: He purred. Keep that up and you might get a foot
massage out of me.
EnsTren: She whimpered, Please?
EnsTren: She wiggled her feet and managed to bid a
goodbye to Mai-chan.
Edmondia: He purred again and slid down her leg, gently
rubbing his way down to her feet. Like?
EnsTren: M' muscles hurt and stiff.
Edmondia: Okay. He dug his fingers in. Legs and feet, then
go up?
EnsTren: Feet, ankles, before I die.
Edmondia: All right, baby. And he pulled a foot onto his lap
and set to work.
EnsTren: And she started in on being a whimpering
melting gasping mess.
Edmondia: He gave her a saucy grin. Remind me to do this
more often, pretty light.
Edmondia: He kissed her pretty ankle. Done with this foot,
lovely.
EnsTren: She was currently lacking the ability to talk.
Nnmmnnn!
Edmondia: He lightly picked up the foot he was done with
and set it on the bed in a comfy position, then pulled the other
one onto his lap and started rubbing. Would you like a
backrub after this?
EnsTren: Whimpering was his only answer.
Edmondia: I'll ask again when I'm done. And he continued
the massage, working at her tense muscles until they slackened
beneath his grip.
EnsTren: She moaned softly and whined in the back of
her throat.
Edmondia: He gave her foot a final rub and gently lifted it off
of her lap. Better?
EnsTren: Whimper. Sad looks and more whimpering.
Edmondia: Um, baby, I need you to tell me what you want.
More foot rubbing? Backrub, tummy rub, Mokuba, soda?
EnsTren: ...Thigh, knee, tummy.
Edmondia: Okay. And he scooted farther up the bed and
slipped a leg under her thigh, gently propping it up and starting
to rub.
EnsTren: And she cried out, if he couldn't feel the relief
spreading over their bond he would have thought she
was in pain.
Edmondia: He kneaded hard at her stiff muscles until she
melted. Like?
EnsTren: Hikari hurts. Hikari hates this.
Edmondia: He kissed her tummy. Let hikari's yami rub her
other leg and her tummy, and let hikari's medicine help her.
EnsTren: Hikari feels like there's knives in hikari's
legs and tummy.
Edmondia: He clambered over her and took her other leg in
his hands, digging his fingers in. Ssh, baby, the medicine
should kick in soon and you'll feel better.
EnsTren: And Hikari is horny, she sulkedpouted. How
the hell can I be this horny when I'm in this much
pain and all bloody down there?
Edmondia: He gave her an utterly blank look. Noooooooo
clue, love.
EnsTren: Hikari HATES this. And she wiggled in a
way that was meant to express her irritation but was
instead completely cute.
Edmondia: Yes dear. He kissed her tummy and dug his
fingers in harder, feeling the tension finally give.
EnsTren: She gasped hard. The pressure needed hurt
a lot, but it felt so good too.
Edmondia: Better? he questioned, gently kneading her
now-pliant flesh.
EnsTren: She squeaked.
Edmondia: He blinked at her. Is that a good noise or a bad
noise or a 'Yami, WTF?' noise?
EnsTren: She squeaked again. A good WTF noise.
Edmondia: He rubbed. If you say so, babe.
EnsTren: She whimpered. Hikari loves you.
Edmondia: He flashed her an absolutely decadent smile.
Thank you, baby. I love you too.
EnsTren: Hikari has a back that hurts, and the back
of legs above the knees, and the achillies heel, and
hikari's tummy, but hikari doesn't want that
massaged.
Edmondia: Hikari needs to flip on her tummy so yami can get
to her hurty bits and make them stop hurting, he pointed out.
EnsTren: She whimpered and labored to turn over.
As soon as she was depruned she was getting back into
the bathtub, hot water was good.
Edmondia: He started rubbing the back of her knees. You're
all knots, pretty love.
EnsTren: Her cries were muffled in the pillows and her
flesh twitched and leapt under his fingers.
Edmondia: ...we so have to do this more often.
EnsTren: Fuck you with a cherry tree.
Edmondia: No thank you, baby. And he slid his hands down
to her achilles heel and started rubbing. Is that any way to talk
to your personal massuse-slash-manbitch?
EnsTren: Don't make me pull out the kuriboh
derived titles.
Edmondia: Yesm'm.
EnsTren: She went back to whimpering.
Edmondia: And he finished with her legs and crawled back
up her body, gently settling his hands low on her back. Where
d'you want?
EnsTren: Right there, that's where it feels like my
uterus is.
Edmondia: He dug the flat of his palms in. Here?
EnsTren: Uhhaahhhhhhhnnn.
Edmondia: ...I'm guessing that's a yes. And he proceeded to
make her melt.
EnsTren: She wept from relief.
Edmondia: He bent down and stroked her hair away from the
back of her neck, laying a gentle kiss on her pale skin. Better?
EnsTren: Dead now.
Edmondia: I'm afraid you've lost me. He kissed her neck
again, gently rubbing her shoulders.
EnsTren: Am I depruned yet?
Edmondia: He picked up a hand and inspected it. Not quite
yet, love. Back in the tub, or the shower?
EnsTren: Tuuuuuuuuuuuuub.
Tuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuub
Edmondia: Because I could put on swim trunks and set the
showerhead on massage... oh, tub. Want me to run you a bath?
EnsTren: Shower.
EnsTren: Just make it stop hurting
Edmondia: Okay, baby. He slipped gracefully off of her.
Let's take a shower and see if I can make you feel better.
EnsTren: She was holding onto him and was crying.
Edmondia: ...?! Baby, what's wrong?
EnsTren: You're going to make it stop hurting!
Edmondia: He pulled her close and rocked her. I'll do my
best, baby... why are you crying?
EnsTren: Relief!
Edmondia: Oh. He felt a bit stupid, but scooped her up
anyway and carried her into the bathroom and turned on the
shower. Gimme just a second to go find some swim trunks and
I'll join you. Can you get in on your own?
EnsTren: A small nod and she slipped from his hands and
into the shower, putting the hot water on.
Edmondia: Okay, I'll be back soon. He blew her a kiss and
sauntered out in search of swim trunks.
EnsTren: She curled up under the spray.
Edmondia: He came back a few moments later in black swim
trunks and slipped in the shower with her, settling beside her
and opening his arms. C'mere.
EnsTren: She crawled over into his arms.
Edmondia: He pulled her close and rubbed her back, nuzzling
his lips under the wet fringe of her hair. Has that medicine
kicked in yet?
EnsTren: A little.
Edmondia: That's a good sign. Want me to rub your tummy,
or not yet?
EnsTren: Now.
Edmondia: Okay. He did.
EnsTren: Hikari was warm and sweet in his arms.
Edmondia: He kissed her cheek. You're cute.
EnsTren: Don't want to be cute.
Edmondia: Still are. He kissed her other cheek.
EnsTren: Hmn... do scalp.
Edmondia: You want a scalp massage?
EnsTren: Yessss...
Edmondia: Okay. And he proceeded to give her a very nice
one.
