Moments Like This

6. Illness
Tennessee's face broke out in a grimace as her stomach tightened into heavy knots. This time it was much stronger than the others that she had endured. A concerned Louisiana could only watch with sympathy as her friend propped a second pillow on the bed's headboard behind her. Wanting to assist Tennessee, Louisiana leaned forward to gently push her back onto the comfortable stack of pillows. The British Freelancer held her hand to show her appreciation.
"L, I can't thank you enough for being here," she said with a faint smile. "I know it's nothing and I'm just being silly, but I-"
"Rosa, I understand what you're doing through more than anything," Louisiana reassured her. "After all I'm a woman too and we all get pains during that time of the month. I've had them before."
Her statement caused Tennessee to chuckle. "True. It's a shame that York is taking forever to find tablets and some water."
"Yeah, surely it's not that much of a task to accomplish. It's been five minutes at the latest."
At that moment, the door to Tennessee's bedroom was kicked open. It was immediately followed by York hurriedly walking through, armed with two minuscule paracetamol tablets and a tumbler of water. Some droplets of water spilled from the rim of the glass, dripping carelessly on the floor. Tennessee glared at York when he handed the items over to her. Louisiana shook her head, sighing.
York was bewildered. "What?"
"I'm not well if you haven't noticed, James!" Tennessee exploded in exasperation.
He folded his arms over his chest, pouting childishly. "It's not like you're suffering from a deadly illness. A tough former ODST like you reduced to agony due to period pains? That's stupid."
"Shut. Up."
A/N: Trust me, it's best not to argue with a woman while she is currently having that time of the month pains. Maybe York should learn that in future to keep Tennessee from snapping at him.
