tw: emetophobia! (fear of vomiting)

i've been feeling really sick lately so this idea just kinda popped into my head. i struggle with emetophobia and i definitely relate y/n in this story! i thought this would be a neat little way to shed a little light on the subject to those who don't really have to deal with it! hope you're well <3

   your whole body shook as you tried to suppress the growing feeling of fear inside of you.

   obviously, no one feels good when they throw up, but it hits you at a completely different level. you get extremely anxious if you even barely feel nauseous and end up only being able to think about containing whatever is coming up. when you do throw up, you become a crying, shaky mess make matters worse, but you can't help it, that's just how you react.

   you were experiencing that anxious feeling while sitting on the couch alone in the apartment you shared with your boyfriend, schlatt. he wasn't home as he was out at the grocery store picking up some specific items for a dinner you both had planned to cook together.

   fear wracked through your body as you tried to figure out if you were just slightly nauseous or if you were actually going to throw up.

   your questions were answered when you felt that oh-so terrifying feeling and immediately ran to the bathroom, spilling the contents of your stomach into the luckily-opened toilet.

   you felt as if your whole world was crashing down as your body went between sobs and heaving up the little to nothing that was left in your body, tears falling rapidly.

   you were still in the bathroom sobbing when schlatt came through the front door with a few bags in his hands.

   "i'm home!" he exclaimed as he set the bags down on the kitchen counter and looked around for your smiling face, but he didn't find it. "y/n?" he called out, slightly worried.

   before schlatt could call for you again, he heard loud dry heaves and sobs coming from the bathroom and his heart dropped. he quickly ran to the bathroom and saw you curled up against the wall letting out loud cries and every so often dry heaving into the bowl in front of you. his heart shattered as he quickly sat down beside of you and took you into his arms.

   "ssh... it's okay, y/n. i'm here, it's okay. just calm down for me, okay?" he gently whispered to you. schlatt had absolutely no clue what was upsetting you, but he definitely knew that seeing you like this made him want to sit there and cry with you, but he couldn't. he had to help you feel better. you violently shook in his arms as you tried to calm down but just couldn't seem to.

   after what seemed like an eternity, your sobs had turned into mild hiccups, but you still had that anxious feeling in the pit of your stomach.

   "are you calmed down enough to tell me what happened? you really had me worried, y/n," schlatt asked. you nodded shakily. "okay, so what's got you all torn up?" he asked as he held you in his arms.

   "i-i-" was all you could manage to get out before beginning to cry once again. you hated how upset you got, but you just couldn't help it. schlatt's face immediately softened and he pulled you closer to him.

   "oh hon, i'm sorry. i didn't realize," schlatt said as he finally understood what you were upset over. "how about you take a nice, hot shower and then we can go calm down in the big, comfy bed? sound good?" he said with a smile, trying to make you smile as well. you shakily nodded and put on the best smile you could, which wasn't a very strong one.

   schlatt stood up and bent down to pick you up. he tightly held you. "i love you so much, y/n," he said as he sat you on the counter  in front of the mirror. he stepped out of the room for a minute and came back with some of your pajamas and a towel and sat them beside of you.

   "now you go take a nice, hot shower. you deserve it, hon," schlatt sweetly smiled and placed a kiss on your forehead before walking out and closing the door, giving you privacy to wash off.

   after undressing, you stepped inside the shower and let the almost steaming water hit you for a little bit, not caring about how much the water bill would go up because of it. slowly but surely, your once numb body began to gain feeling. it felt nice to finally calm down after the borderline traumatic experience earlier. you couldn't help but smile as you thought of how much schlatt cared about you.

   when you dried off and put your new pajamas on, you opened the bathroom door and heard rustling in the kitchen. curious, you slowly walked to the kitchen and saw schlatt frantically moving around in front of the stove. he turned around to grab something about of the fridge and saw you standing in the hallway and immediately stopped dead in his tracks. after staring at you for a second, he waltzed over to you and hugged you tightly. "do you feel better?" he asked, his eyes filling with concern.

   "i do," you responded and kissed him softly. "thank you."

   schlatt smiled. "why don't you go ahead and get cozy in the bed? i'll uh- be in there in a little bit," he responded and looked back at the stove before looking back at you with slightly pleading eyes.

   you chuckled. "i'll be waiting," you smiled and walked back to your bedroom. once you laid down and put the soft comforter over you, you felt like you were in heaven. your bed was your sweet escape, and it was definitely doing its job.

   after a little bit of laying around and playing on your phone, you heard footsteps coming down the hallway. curious, you looked up from your phone and were met with a grinning schlatt who held two plates in his hand, each filled with your and his favorite meal. you smiled back and sighed as he walked to the bed and handed you a plate.

   "you didn't have to do this, j."

   "i just wanted to do something special for a very special girl who's had a bit of a rough day," schlatt responded as he sat down beside of you and picked up his fork. "dig in," he said and began eating.

   after the two of you had finished eating, you cuddled while watching random youtube videos on the television.

   slowly but surely, your eyes started to get heavier and heavier. schlatt noticed this and moved around a bit to try and make you as comfortable as possible.

   "thank you for everything you do for me, j. i don't know what i'd do without you," you said as you looked up at your boyfriend with a sleepy grin on your face.

   schlatt chuckled. "anything for you," he said as he kissed your forehead and wrapped his arms around you.

   schlatt's warmth was the last step to pretty much knock you out into a deep sleep, schlatt soon following.
