You were currently lying in bed, shifting in and out of consciousness. Your body was kept bare, Lance was hovering over you, watching over your naked body. He knew you were in pain, the presence of a parasite in your belly was haunting him.

He tenderly caressed your sore belly, being as gentle as possible, whilst peppering gentle kisses over it. Small whimpers escaped your mouth as you tried to stay awake. You knew Lance was trying to comfort you, but the pain was too much to ignore. You couldn't even bring yourself to open your eyes, afraid of what you might see.

Lance watched your body protectively. He could see movement under the skin, sort of like something was poking against your skin, crawling around underneath the surface. He tried not to let his fear show, but he couldn't help the panic rising inside him. He knew this parasite was dangerous, and he couldn't bear the thought of losing you.

"Baby, look at me" He whispered, trying to keep his voice calm and soothing.

"It's going to be okay"

But you knew it wasn't. You let out a tired chuckle, the irony of the situation not lost on you.

"Stop it, Lance" You pleaded, your breathing slowing down.

"There is no way to get rid of it"

Lance's heart broke at your words. He wanted to scream and cry, he wanted to do anything to take away your pain. But he knew he couldn't. All he could do was be there for you, hold your hand and offer words of comfort. You managed to look at him, your hand gently caressing his cheek.

"Let me tell you something..."

"This thing inside me, it's been here ever since I was little, I don't exactly know how it got there but I can feel it. It hasn't harmed me, just has been irritable..." You said tiredly

"It feeds off happy moments, happy emotions I go through and uses it to its advantage, there are probably several eggs inside me now from over the years..." You mumbled

...

"Anytime I am happy, I lose my bodily control more and more to this thing...I really don't know what to do..." You let out a chuckle

Lance was staring at you in shock, unable to comprehend what you saying. As he thought about what you said, his eyes widened as a horrible realisation struck him. He looked down at your belly and then back up at you.

"It feeds off happy emotions...? Then that moment we did it...all those feelings you were going through...it was feeding off from your happiness...?" Lance's voice trailed off

"Then..."

"Our precious moment was actually dangerous for your body in the end...?" A tear escaped Lance's eye as he stared at you, you noticed the pain behind his eyes

As much as you wanted to hide it, you couldn't.

"I guess..." You let out a chuckle, a tear also escaping your eye. Lance was in utter disbelief

???

"Why are you laughing?!" Lance's voice trailed off as he couldn't believe his eyes, they were searching for answers

"If us having s*x was going to hurt you and was dangerous for your body, then why didn't stop me?!" Lance's voice was getting a bit louder now.

You were staring at him

"Why didn't you stop me?!" Lance asked again as he carefully picked you up and sat you up, you held onto the duvet, just looking down.

"I didn't really think about it, not during that moment for sure. It was a special moment, why would I think about some stupid parasite?" You mumbled in disbelief

???

Lance was staring at you in shock.

"Y/n...if I knew your body was infected with something dangerous, I wouldn't have asked you to do it..." Lance's voice trailed off

"Even with your womb...I was hesitant because I was scared of hurting you...but you...you wanted it without having a single care about your body..."

"Do you how much danger you have put your body in...that thing inside you is taking over you...don't you understand how serious that is?!" Lance scolded you, you flinched slightly

!!!

"I don't!" Your voice now got louder, Lance's eyes widened at your sudden tone change

"I don't care anymore! My body is already broken! So who cares if I say I wanted us to do it?!"

"It was worth it, Lance. It always is going to be worth it..." You smiled at him. Lance's heart ached.

"It hasn't done anything serious to me so I don't get why you're getting all worked up, it's just there inside me...I can't do anything to it nor get rid of it." You sighed

"You looking after my body is something I appreciate, you loving me despite the idiocy I show is something that makes me happy, you showing me I deserve to be loved is important to me!"

"Just like us having our moments together is important for me, I wouldn't change it for anything else..." Another tear escaped your eye as you looked at Lance

"I've learnt to live with this body, I don't care what happens as long I am happy, you are happy, that's all I need..,"

"Call me selfish or whatever I don't care, but you marking me as your yours, it's important to me..."

Lance was getting frustrated and you could sense it well, it did hurt you a bit, but you just brushed it aside for now.

"You attacked Rayne, you do know that...? You remember that don't you?" Lance said, your eyes widened in shock

!!!

"Huh?"

"Attacked Rayne...? I attacked Rayne...?" Your voice trailed off as you stared at him in shock, he nodded

"In front of all of divine visionaries and headmaster Wahlberg...that thing inside you was the cause of that behaviour!" Lance frowned as you looked at you

You on the other hand has no idea what to say, you couldn't believe what you were hearing, you looked down at your hands, that were shaking now.

"It was for a brief moment. But you weren't you, you were different..." Lance's voice trailed off as he thought back to the moment

"That parasite has been feeding off you and turned you into something scary...and you're saying you don't care about about your body?!" Lance mumbled in disbelief, you silently stared at him

...

"Just tell me something, Lance. Did you enjoy it?" You asked, Lance stared at you in disbelief

"You're still caring about that? Were you even listening, Y/n?!" Lance asked, more tears were rolling down your face

"Just tell me, please!" You pleaded

"Y/n stop." Lance said sternly

"Not until you tell me"

"Y/n."

"Lance please"

!!!

"Y/n why don't you understand!! You could've died?!!" Lance now yelled at you, your eyes widened

Lance gritted his teeth in pain as tears rolled down his cheeks.

"I hurt your body!!" He yelled further, letting his emotions out

!!!

He ran his fingers through his hair feeling frustrated and in pain, without warning, he got up and walked out of the room, leaving you in silence
