Belly Rubs

[ Requested by a lovely someone; This was slightly delayed, but I hope the wait was worth it! <3 ]

All day your stomach had been hurting. You couldn't pinpoint why, but you ignored it thinking the pain would subside eventually. 

Continuing your castle duties, only seemed to upset your stomach even more. It had reached to the point that you gained a slight headache every time you moved around. 

Not wanting to be a burden, you kept the situation to yourself. It was a mere trouble, that you could deal with on your own. You told Rapunzel you needed a small break for today, waving her off when she asked if you were alright.

In the confines of your room, you lay on your bed. Face scrunched in mild agony, as you clutched onto your belly. Desperately trying to sooth the ache with half-hearted rubs, your eye lids flutter close at an attempt to take a nap. If you fell asleep maybe your stomach would feel better.

Just before sleep overtakes your tired form, you see the door of your room open slightly. Not having the energy to fight with your body, you find yourself falling asleep with a quiet sigh.

When you wake up, you feel warm. There's a nice breeze finding it's way inside the room through an open window, which helps cool your flushed face. Processing and gaining back enough conscious, you turn in bed. A sudden discomforting sting strikes your abdominal area, causing a disgruntled groan escape from between your lips.

From such an action, you see Varian's form quickly take his side near you. As fast as he arrived, a warm hand was pressed softly against your stomach, rubbing circles into your skin. You watch as his beautiful features are pressed in worry. Baby blue eyes looking towards you with care, you knew only Varian possessed.

"Hey, handsome. Come here often?" You joked. Trying to lighten the mood and calm Varian's concern.

There's a soft chuckle from those pretty pink lips, almost like the sound of an angel's choir. "Only if you want me to, gorgeous." He teases back, winking adorably at you. 

It's almost sends your heart in a panic and make your stomach do flips, as if it wasn't aching already. A smile creeps on your face, with a light laugh. But, apparently that's enough to gain another agonizing sting from your tummy. This results in your nose scrunching up to hide the pain.

Something which Varian catches onto, because he's reaching for the heating pad on your night stand. An item you knew he must have placed there. Handing you the pad, Varian moves and places pillows behind your back. So, you're comfortable when sitting down.

"You shouldn't be laying down, love. It's only going to upset your tummy more." Varian's lips are pressed onto your forehead, before he continues. "I got you water and some soup, if you're hungry or thirsty. Anything else you want just ask me, okay?" 

He gives you a minute to respond with what you need. 

"How'd you know I had a stomach ache?" You question.

Varian gives you one of his dorky smiles, "Oh love, I guess you could call it boyfriend's instinct?" His adorable dimples are showing and the creasing of his eyes, serving the purpose of making the action a whole lot cuter.

The reply you had dies down, when Varian cuddles close to you. One hand twiddling and playing with your hair and the other on top of your own hand. 

His voice lowers to a gentle whisper in your ear, causing shivers to run down your spine. Varian's breath could be felt on your neck, when he spoke, "I can give your tummy a rub, my dear. Would you like that?" 

With Varian so close to you and his words practically touching your skin, all you could do was nod. As you agree, you feel his finger trace the outline of your hand. The tip of the digit slowly moving to your stomach, which was so sensual that it almost tickled. Keep in mind, Varian's other hand was fiddling with your hair and his lips gliding across your neck, leaving kisses in it's wake.

Once, his hand does reach your stomach, it caresses tenderly. Varian's thumb moving in time with the circles he draws on your skin. If that wasn't adequate enough, you sense a small humming from the side. Varian's mouth that was pressed into your neck was mumbling little tunes. 

It was there that the two of you laid for the rest of the day. Varian's sweet melodies filling the room and lulling you slowly back to sleep.
