Morning Sickness •|| SHIVIAN ||•

[!! EMETOPHOBIA WARNING: SLIGHT MENTIONS OF SICKNESS!!]

Prompt: Shibhon has morning sickness.

Shibhon knelt over the toilet bowl, her hair spilling around her as she let out another miserable groan. The early morning light filtering through the blinds only made her scowl deepen, and the bathroom echoed with the sound of retching.

From the doorway, Vivian peeked in, her face scrunched with concern. "Bon Bon, are you okay? You’ve been at this all morning," she asked softly, stepping closer but not too close.

Shibhon waved her hand weakly. "I’m fine, Viv. It’s just... morning sickness."

Vivian blinked. Then blinked again. "Morning sickness?" she repeated, her voice laced with confusion. "Oh my god, Bon Bon, are you pregnant?!"

Shibhon whipped her head around just enough to shoot her an incredulous glare, her face pale but still managing an edge of sass. "Viv, we’re lesbians."

Vivian froze, her face turning beet red. "Right… Yeah. Obviously. I knew that." She coughed awkwardly into her hand. "So, uh... why the morning sickness?"

Shibhon groaned dramatically, slumping back against the bathroom wall. "I’m not sick. I just really, really hate getting up early."

Vivian’s jaw dropped, and then a laugh burst out before she could stop it. "You mean to tell me this whole performance is because you don’t like mornings?"

Shibhon’s eyes narrowed. "Mornings are the enemy, Viv."

Still chuckling, Vivian walked over and crouched beside her, running a gentle hand down Shibhon’s back. "You’re ridiculous, Bon Bon," she murmured, pressing a soft kiss to her temple.

"And you’re annoying," Shibhon grumbled, though the faintest smile tugged at her lips.

Vivian stood and offered her hand. "Come on, let’s get you some coffee. Maybe that’ll cure your ‘morning sickness.’"

"Only if you bring it to bed," Shibhon muttered, taking Vivian’s hand and letting her pull her to her feet.

Vivian grinned as she led her out of the bathroom. "Anything for my Bon Bon."
