Late Night Tummy Ache- L

Does anyone else get a stomach ache from anything they eat? Like is it a girl thing because I have friends with the same problem and it sucksssss :(

Harry walked in the door after work carrying his briefcase and two pizzas for him and Louis. It was later than the couple would normally eat dinner because Harry had been swamped at work all day but Louis had insisted he was going to wait so they could eat dinner together. It was already 8:00 pm but they were both starving so it didn't matter much. 

"Hey, Haz!" Louis called from the kitchen when he heard his husband come in. 

"Hey, Boo, how was your day?" Harry asked, carrying the pizzas to the table and kissing Louis's cheek.

"Boring, the store was empty most of the day," Louis told him. 

"Well that's too bad," Harry sympathized. 

"It's fine, it was relaxing honestly." 

They sat down and continued their conversations while they stuffed their faces with pizza. 

"How was your day?" Louis asked while Harry pulled a string of cheese off his face. He was such a messy eater sometimes. 

"It was tiring," Harry told him, mouth full of half-chewed pizza. "I still have a bunch of stuff I have to finish tonight." 

"You work too hard sometimes, Love," Louis sighed. 

"If I finish the stuff tonight, then we'll have all night together tomorrow," Harry told him. That news made Louis' face light up which made Harry smile too. He loved seeing his husband so happy. 

They continued to eat in comfortable silence for a while until Harry said, "I'm stuffed, I should go work on that stuff now." 

Louis nodded as Harry stood up from the table and kissed his head before leaving to go to his office, probably for the rest of the night. Harry was a bit of a workaholic sometimes and he often fell asleep in his office in the late hours of the night or early hours of the morning. 

Louis stood up as well and started cleaning up. He noticed there was only one piece left, he and Harry had been really hungry! He thought about eating it but he was so full he didn't know if he could fit anything else inside him. On the other hand, he didn't want to dirty a container and take up space in the fridge for one piece of pizza so, for lack of better judgement, he ate it. 

The pizza felt thick in his mouth so he washed it down with water and then decided to head upstairs to get ready for bed because it was already 10:00 and he was getting tired. Before he went upstairs, Louis went to Harry's office. 

He saw his husband typing away at his computer, filling out documents for god knows what. Louis walked over to him and when Harry heard him, he looked up and smiled. "Hey, Beautiful," Harry said as Louis leaned down to kiss him. 

"Hi, Love," Louis replied. 

"Why are you still awake?" Harry questioned, worried that Louis might be having trouble sleeping again. He had minor insomnia and also had trouble sleeping because of anxiety on top of that. Harry always worried a little when Louis couldn't sleep. 

"I was actually just coming to say goodnight," Louis told him and watched a bit of the worry leave his husband's face. 

"Alright, Baby. Sleep well," Harry said. 

"Don't stay up too long, Love," Louis told him. "I miss you when you work late." 

"I'm sorry, Lou," Harry sighed. "I'll try to be up in an hour or so, I promise."
