Work Text:
It was the middle of Sunday afternoon, San Niang and Xie Lian were taking a nap holding each other. Despite the romantic scene, the situation between the two was not the most comfortable. They lived together for a long time and had a great emotional bond, as a result of which their cycles ended up synchronizing. In this particular cycle, both were feeling a lot of cramps.
Xie Lian writhed in his wife's arms, causing Hua Cheng to wake up.
- Jiejie...
- Sorry, San Niang, did I wake you up?
- No, I was about to wake up.
Xie Lian knew that she had woken up, as the sleepy voice gave away.
- Are you well?
- Still in pain. How about you Jiejie?
- The pain continues.
Her cramps still gripped her belly, radiating the pain to her back and legs.
- We'll have to change the medicine.
Before lying down to watch a series and eventually falling asleep, they took a pain medicine, but apparently it had no effect.
Xie Lian hugged his wife even tighter, wanting to take all the pain away from her, it was so terrible to see her face bruised with pain. She buried her face in San Niang's neck, placing light kisses on the region, as a form of consolation.
San Niang returned the affection by clinging even closer to his Jiejie.
- How about I make some tea for my San Niang?
- Don't worry Jiejie, it will pass soon, stay here.
She didn't want Xie Lian to go out of his way for her.
- I'll go there my love. Hold still, I'll be right back.
Even though Xie Lian was in pain, her stamina was far greater than her partner's.
Hua Cheng would not cross his wife, if Xie Lian wanted to get out of bed she could do nothing but accept it.
Xie Lian took off the blanket and stood up, her legs were quite sore but it didn't stop her from walking.
-Jiejie... accident.
- What?
San Niang was pointing at her butt. On her gray pajama shorts there was a big red stain.
- Shit.
Pulling the covers closer she saw that she had also stained the sheets, as always her great luck.
- Sorry San Niang.
- Jiejie has no fault, it happens to everyone. Go to the bathroom, I'll take care of things around here.
Hua Cheng said looking at the dirty sheet.
-Thanks.
Xie Lian walked to the bathroom, taking off his dirty shorts and throwing them in a corner. She had made a complete mess. She took the towel from the closet and removed the rest of her clothes going to the shower room.
She let the hot water run down her back, relaxing her muscles, the pain was still there, but the bath helped.
When she came out of the bathroom, she saw that San Niang had gotten up and changed the bed sheets for her. She chose another pajama set to wear and changed, now clean.
Xie Lian left to look for his partner, entered the kitchen feeling the scent of tea rising in the air
San Niang was a sensual and vain woman with long black hair, when they went out she would be in heels and makeup. Xie was always fascinated by his wife's beauty, even more so when San Niang wore new sets of lingerie, showing off her body just for her, it drove her crazy.
But in periods like these, the two opted for comfortable clothes, lingerie and heels gave way to pajamas and slippers. Either way, she was completely in love.
Xie Lian noticed that his beloved was hunched over the counter a bit, probably in pain.
- San Niang.
- Jiejie...
Xie Lian walked over to her and hugged her from behind, as she was lower her face was resting on San Niang's back. Her hands flew to her belly and began a slow massage.
- How's the pain?
- It hasn't changed, but I'll get better. Did the bath help with yours?
-She eased up a bit. What are you doing? Didn't I say I was going to make some tea?
Xie Lian withdrew his hand from San Niang's stomach, standing beside her.
- I'm making tea, I wanted to do it for Jiejie.
San Niang took the hot tea from the fire and filled each of their favorite cups.
- It seems good.
-It's still hot, we'll have to wait a bit.
- How about we take it to our bed?
- It's a good idea. But... what does Jiejie think of tea with chocolates?
Since they both had synchronized cycles, they stocked up on chocolates before their periods came.
- I would love chocolate tea.
Amidst the pain San Niang managed to smile at her Jiejie, she always admired the shorter one and thanked her everyday for making her days happier.
- Come here.
With one arm San Niang pulled Xie Lian into a passionate kiss, her tongues caressing each other with a deep desire for all the suffering to go away.
Xie Lian loved his wife's kisses, even after so long he still melted with them.
Due to the pain they couldn't prolong the kiss as long as they wanted, the pain prevented them from enjoying it completely, their legs hurt and due to the difference in size their backs started to get tense.
- I'll take the tea to the room. Jiejie takes the chocolates and pills?
- Yes.
San Niang put the tea on a breakfast tray and took it to her room. Meanwhile Xie took out two chocolate bars from the cupboard and pain pills from the medicine box.
When she was heading towards the bedroom, she saw San Niang coming back with her dirty shorts in her hand.
- What is this San Niang?
- I'm taking your shorts to wash, if the blood stays too long it will stain.
Xie Lian's cheeks turned red.
- You didn't have to do that... I would wash it after the pain was gone.
- No problem, I take the opportunity to put it together with the sheets in the machine.
San Niang went to the laundry room and put the shorts in the machine, closed it and put it in the wash.
She went back into the kitchen to get hot water bottles from the microwave.
Arriving at the room, Xie Lian was already waiting for him.
- Brought hot water bottles.
She lay down next to her wife and gently placed the bag on top of Xie's stomach, then placed it on herself.
Xie Lian picked up the breakfast tray and placed it over her and San Niang.
- If after all that... the pain doesn't improve, I give up.
With a chuckle Xie Lian said:
- We'll get well soon.
They started drinking the tea with the pills.
- Your tea was very good San Niang.
- Thanks, but I think Jiejie's is much better.
Xie Lian was a disaster at anything related to cooking, she knew how to make tea, but probably her instinct to want to invent would make the tea bitter and sour, even so San Niang would drink it with a smile. She was so lucky.
- Open your mouth.
Hua Cheng held a piece of chocolate bar close to her mouth. She gladly accepted, feeling the chocolate melt.
- Let's watch a movie?
San Niang pulled her against him and sank deeper into the covers, covering them up to her neck, she took the control and turned on the television.
- What movie do you want to watch?
- Cool.
His wife put him in an animated film. Xie Lian snuggled closer to San Niang, twining his legs under the covers.
- You won't sleep this time Jiejie.
- I say the same to you.
They giggled. Life was so light when they were together.
Cuddling under the blankets, eating chocolate and watching a movie, it was a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon, even with a few cramps.
-Are you still in pain Jiejie?
- They decreased a lot and yours?
-It's passing.
Life for them was like that, one taking care of the other, in joy and in sadness, in health and in sickness, always together until death do them apart.
Xie Lian slipped a hand behind San Niang's neck and began to stroke, running his hand through his straight hair.
- If it continues like this I'll go to sleep.
-Sorry, you're stronger than me.
-Jiejie has nothing to apologize for, it's delicious.
With a big smile Xie Lian watched his wife surrender to her caresses, so cute and adorable.
- I love you so much Jiejie.
San Niang attacked their lips in a kiss, this time the way they wanted, long, soft and almost painless.
They managed to watch the whole movie without sleep and in the end all the pain was gone. No matter how much pain they felt, they would go through all of them together.
- I love you San Niang.
