Work Text:
You had gone out with friends and ate something bad because suddenly saliva was collecting in your mouth like you were going to throw up and this immediately freaked you out. You swallowed several times to try and prevent the inevitable but it was no use. You suddenly stood up and dashed to the bathroom not even bothering to tell your boyfriend, Sasuke where you were going.
“Hey!” He said standing up and following you. “Are you okay?” You didn’t acknowledge him before rushing into the bathroom and kneeling down over the toilet, tears staining your face. Puking always made you panic, the feeling, the taste, it was all very overwhelming. Sasuke stood in the doorway before fully coming into the bathroom with you.
He knelt down beside you. “Hey…..what’s wrong?” He sounded slightly concerned which was out of character for your boyfriend.
“I-“ you managed to stutter out before gripping the side of the toilet, fearing the worst, even if it was irrational it always felt very real in the moment. Almost like you were going to die. “I- I feel like I’m going to throw up….” You mutter out, tears dripping down your cheeks.
Sasuke sighs, gently pulling your hair out of your face out having been through this routine with you before. Something happens that makes you feel sick, you start panicking about the possibility of throwing up and inevitably puking your guts out and being fine.
“Try to breathe.” He said with a neutral expression with a glint of concern in his eyes “Even if it’s slow.”
“It’s better to get it out of your body.”
“I-I know but…” you say quietly, saliva dripping from your mouth. You cut yourself off, attempting to take a deep breath only to make yourself gag. You knew it was going to happen but you still tried to avoid it, you put your hand over your mouth even if it was futile. Sasuke gently but firmly grabs your wrist and takes it away from your mouth.
“You know you have to, it’s the only way to feel better.” Sasuke stated calmly.
You nod concededly , resting your head on the edge of the toilet before throwing up violently with Sasuke holding your hair out of the way. When you’re finished puking, Sasuke wipes your face with a paper towel before looking at your with those dark eyes of his asking if you’re okay without verbalizing it.
You nod weakly, finally letting out a sigh of relief that it’s over. You sit on the floor suddenly remembering your surroundings feeling absolutely horrified that you just left your friends without explanation. Sasuke can sense your turmoil and uses his fingers to tuck a strand of hair behind your ear.
“It’s alright, you don’t need to explain yourself to anyone.”
He stands up and offers his hand to help you up as well, you take it and readjust your clothes feeling embarrassed for what happened.
“I’m sorry…” you say quietly, Sasuke waves the apology off dismissively
“Don’t be.”
“But-“
“I already said don’t be.”
You nod and smile, both of you walking back out into the restaurant and sitting back down at the table with your friends.
“Are you okay, dattebayo? Naruto asked, concern lacing his tone
“Yeah, I’m fine, just something I ate.” You nod reassuringly
The rest of your friends drop the topic before going back to eating.
“See?” Sasuke whispered to you
“I guess you’re right.”
“I’ll help you fight this fear….” Sasuke muttered, so you could just barely hear him
“What?”
“Nothing.” He said with a small smile, resting his hand on yours
Maybe you could get over this phobia
