Gale sighed in frustration, he’d been at this for almost an hour and hadn’t made any progress. He didn’t quite understand why his stomach would hurt and send all the signals that he needed to make a bathroom trip for relief, but as soon as he did so, nothing.
He wished he could blame his increasingly indulgent diet, but his digestive system always seemed to have it out for him no matter what. He ran a hand over his soft belly, willing its contents to move at least a little. He’d skipped dinner even though he was hungry as he didn’t want to add to the heavy feeling in his gut. A perpetual call of nature his body refused to let him answer.
He never really opened up to Astarion and Halsin about these issues, they obviously knew he had them as he couldn’t hide the overly long bathroom trips. Though he found the embarrassment of letting them fatten him up exhilarating, this was humiliation he’d rather go through alone.
Just as he was having that thought there was a knock on the door.
“My heart?” came Halsin’s voice.
“Y-Yes?” Gale’s voice was hoarse with nervousness.
“Are you doing alright in there?”
Gale hesitated before squeezing his eyes shut as he said “No.”
“May I come in?”
“I suppose so.” Gale said after a long moment. He didn’t understand why this felt so damned vulnerable. This elf had fingered his pussy until he came over and over. Gale was fine with, ecstatic even, having his his belly groped while he was called a pig, being fucked until he couldn’t speak in coherent sentences, being spanked and bitten by Halsin and Astarion respectively. But being seen on the toilet was apparently too intimate and embarrassing.
Halsin came in slowly. His eyes softened as he saw Gale, the wizard was slightly red in the face, a thin sheen of sweat on his brow. “My poor thing.”
“I might just go to bed and see if things have decided to move by the time I wake.” Gale mumbled.
“You haven’t eaten much today.. are you sure you want to skip dinner?”
Gale whined “I am hungry, but I can’t add anything else to this mess.”
Halsin looked at the floor, thinking. “Would you let me try something that might help?”
Gale hummed “I’m desperate enough at the moment.”
Halsin came over and knelt beside Gale and gently lifted his sweater. He moved his hand under Gale’s belly a little. “I’m going to be pressing on a tender spot. Is that alright?”
Gale nodded, genuinely curious now as Halsin settled his fingers in the space near his right hip bone. He tensed momentarily as Halsin began gently massaging the area in a circular motion with his fingertips.
After a few seconds there was a gurgle followed by a few more. Gale’s brow furrowed “What exactly are you palpating right now?”
“There’s a valve here that connects the small and large intestine. Sometimes doing this can help if things aren’t working as they should. You could do it yourself if you want me to stop-“
“No, no.. this is just fine.” Gale was surprised at how relaxed he was considering the situation “Why do you even know how to do this?” He chuckled.
Halsin hesitated “I was.. looking into ways to help you.”
Before Gale could reply the sound of his body finally releasing some gas echoed in the bathroom. He moaned softly in relief. After a few loud bursts of gas finally the contents of his bowels began expelling into the bowl.
Halsin kept up the massage until Gale was finished.
Once the relief passed, embarrassment flooded Gale again “I think I’m capable of doing the rest myself..”
“Of course.” Halsin got up to leave.
“Thank you though.” Gale said quickly, his face feeling hot as Halsin nodded and left the room. Part of him felt like crawling into a hole and hiding for a while, but at the same time he felt better knowing he could ask for Halsin’s help if he needed it again.
