A/N: I wanted to write a Yugo/Alice story - and I love writing romance and all the lovey-dovey stuff, though there is essence of lemon - though, not really. A hint I should say.
… Being a lazy sack of beef.
He lying, tucked up quite cosily in his bed, actually enjoying the time he'd got spare. Usually, he wouldn't have the time to just lay around, but campaigns were practically zero and things were surprisingly all quiet. Peaceful - just how everything really should be. And Yugo had decided he deserved to be lazy for once in a while. Though, it would have been better, he'd thought, if his bed partner had actually been there to cuddle up to.
But alas, Alice Nonomura's work was never done. Up practically at the crack of dawn, she was off doing her Nursing duties - the duty she liked so much in the world, besides the terrible hours that came with the job.
Her boyfriend questioned why she would want to continue on part time as a nurse when she was committed greatly to work in the W.O.C?
And her answer?
"Can't go giving up my dream now. I wouldn't be me if I wasn't a nurse!"
Yugo had given up his life as a professional boxer to focus working in the W.O.C. Though, he never lost the passion to still go down to the gym once in a while and practice in the training ring with a few old friends. Alice however had tried giving up her career, but it made her unhappy, so as quickly as she could, she snapped up a part time job, becoming an out-nurse, with house calls in the roster.
The poor Rabbit Zoanthrope was worked off her feet, and thus also put a damper on a lot of plans with their relationship.
He kind of felt guilty for actually lying there while his lover was off working her butt off and actually decided (with much inner reluctance) to kick the covers back and clamber out of bed. He managed to drag himself to the shower for his refreshing wake up spray - however, it turned into more of a comedy caper as he noticed too little too late that the gauge was turned right down to cold. He howled and cursed as he fought back against the faucet, only tripping over in his battle to set the temperature right. He placed an annoyed head against the tiles, glad to have survived a near heart attack session as well as a tangle with the shower curtain.
The drama over and the shower off, Yugo put on his boxers, a pair of baggy black shorts and an old vest just to slum around the house in and went in search of breakfast.
He slid his way down the banister, as if he were 14 and not 24. Executing a perfect landing, he padded into the kitchen, exclaiming at how spotless it was. He just had to smile. His little bunny was a neat freak. Well, he did usually trash the place when on a snack scavenge. Though it looked like today he wouldn't have to look far. Everything had been set up ahead of time.
A bowl and spoon were placed neatly on the side with a box of his favourite cereal. The only task was to get the milk, a task that didn't requite the total destruction of the kitchen, unless someone had finished off the last bottle and then he'd have reason to turn the place to rubble. Luckily, there was a half bottle of milk sitting on the door of the fridge. The kitchen would live to fight another day.
As he was crunching away on his cereal, he noticed a note pinned to the note-board. Taking his breakfast with him, he went to investigate. It was from Alice to him, reading: 'won't be back till later. Got some steaks out for you for dinner - defrosting on the side. Love you.' He smirked. Good old Alice.
Still, she was out there slaving in her dream job and having to work to keep the place from falling under - And Yugo felt bad.
'She works so hard and just don't know how to make it up to her?' He sighed, finishing his cereal and dumping the bowl in the sink. 'Maybe some advice from my bro could be useful.'
Kenji was definitely the smarter of the two, though he was nine years younger, and he definitely seemed to be more 'with it' when it came to romance and all the sub-categories. Yugo felt like a complete dope, but one problem solved was more time for him to think less.
He ambled back on upstairs, turning right towards his brothers bedroom, the opposite way down the hall from his own. Kenji was in, even after crawling in at all hours of the morning after a party. Hell, Yugo didn't care if he disturbed him, it was past ten and if he was up, then Kenji should be too.
He knocked quite loud on the door. "You awake?" He called through, leaning back on the doorframe.
There was a few grumbles, shuffling - a curse and what sounded like the lamp nearly breaking on the floor. Yugo raised a brow as he could hear his brother making his way towards the door. Kenji's face appeared through a small crack of the door, half-heartedly wrapped in his dressing gown, indicating lack of sleep attire.
"Morning, sunshine," Yugo joked, staring at the jostled teenager, flicking at his dark bangs.
Kenji grumbled something incoherent, leaning against the door, covering up a yawn.
"Sorry," Yugo apologised. "You've probably had only a few hours… I shouldn't have disturbed you."
Looking up with tired eyes, the younger boy yawned and spoke. "Is there something wrong?"
"No, well, sort of," he said, rubbing a hand behind his head. "Look, can we talk?"
"Umm, do you mean now?" Kenji asked, uneasily.
"I was hoping so. Can I come in?"
"I'm uh, well, not in the best dressed state," Kenji indicated, speaking rather quickly. "Maybe shortly…"
"Aww, come on!" Yugo ruffled the boy's hair. "You haven't got anything I haven't seen." He nudged the door a little, pressing on Kenji's nervousness. Yugo found this curious indeed, having the door fought to be kept on a gap. Though, he came to the sudden realisation, after just a quick glance on the floor next to the boy's bed from his vantagepoint.
"Kenji?"
"Y-yes?"
"What's Uriko doing here?"
"…" He just froze, somewhat trying to feign innocence, but he already knew that he was busted. How could he fool Yugo? Besides his great sense of smell, it was an obvious give away by the mess of clothes on the floor. And it obvious the bra wasn't Kenji's. The ninja inwardly cursed, noticing that it was that and Uriko's favourite 'NiKU HOUSE' jacket that were somewhat in Yugo's sights.
Yugo grinned and couldn't help but push to peek around the door. "Morning, Uriko. Didn't realise Kenji had sneaked you in here this morning. Hope your sister didn't realise you were all cosy up here?"
The girl in question lowered the covers from which she was peeking behind to show an embarrassed face, grinning to try and cover up her blushing red face. She kept the covers held close to form, a hand sneaking up to run over her tousled shoulder length hair. (She was growing it out after realising short didn't suit her in the least.)
"Morning," she said softly.
"Lucky dog," Yugo said, punching Kenji's shoulder lightly.
The mole Zoanthrope blushed madly, though quickly cleared his throat, ignoring his brother's grinning face. "If you give us chance, to get washed and dressed, I can talk to you properly."
"Understood," Yugo said, his face holding a teasing expression that made Kenji inwardly groan. "I'll be in the lounge if you want to find me."
The elder Ohgami wandered off downstairs, leaving the two lovebirds in the bedroom with heads spinning, and not only from the sugar crazed party the night before and their own little 'after party'.
"Holy smokes, I thought he'd blow a fuse!" Uriko said, flopping back with a sigh of relief.
"Who, Yugo? No, he's okay. He understands and trusts me. Though I may be blackmailed so this is kept quiet," Kenji said, wandering back to sit on the bed next to his girlfriend.
Her light coloured eyes locked to his. "I hope he keeps quiet. Boy, if Alice and my mother find out, it'll be kitten stew for all!"
"Don't worry, it'll be okay," he said, leaning in a giving her a quick peck on the lips.
Uriko pouted. "Do we have to get up?"
"Well, I don't want to leave my brother waiting too long," he said, a little guilty.
"Five more minutes?" She leaned up, wrapping her arms across his shoulders. "Pretty please?"
He had to smile. No way could he ignore Uriko's famous pout. That pout got her everywhere with him. "Alright, five minutes."
She grinned, grabbing and pulling him down to her. Kenji shrugged away his gown and tossed it aside as he struggled back under the covers with her as she the cat girl was already giving him her full attention.
In the lounge, Yugo was laid out in front of the TV, practically sunk into the couch as he watched cartoons, laughing at the idiocy that ensued. When the two youths appeared in the lounge, he instantly sat up, making room for them. The wolf Zoanthrope laughed at Uriko dressed in a pair of Kenji's shorts and T-shirt, quite baggy on her with her much smaller frame. In response, she stuck her tongue out. Opposed to his girlfriend, Kenji was decked out in a long sleeved shirt and a pair of baggy sports pants.
"So, you wanted to talk?" He asked Yugo, hopping onto the couch next to him.
"I can always go get some breakfast for us if you guys want to talk alone?" Uriko suggested.
"No, it's okay," Yugo told her. "Stay too. I could use both of your advice." The pair looked at each other and back to the wolf Zoanthrope inquisitively. "It's about Alice."
"About Sis? What's up?" Uriko inquired instantly.
"Well, it's nothing really. There are no real problems. Well, just the fact she's run off her feet with work all the time and we never get proper time to spend together." Yugo sighed. "I don't want the relationship to fall under because we're too much apart. I want to do something to treat her, just the two of us, but it's making time…"
"Well, its Saturday tomorrow," Kenji spoke. "She's not out on call tomorrow."
"Yeah, but W.O.C business and since it's that dinner thing tomorrow with those clients…"
"Don't go," Uriko piped up, surprising him. "Mr. Gado or someone can cover, can't they?"
Yugo looked hesitant. "I rely on everyone too much…"
"That's crap, Yugo," Kenji said sharply. Uriko and Yugo was taken back by that sudden use of language. He was always so controlled with swearing. "You work damn hard too. It's US who rely on YOU too much. I'll take over the meeting - you know I'm better with dealing with headstrong clients anyway. You and Alice don't need to be there. It'll be covered."
"Well, I guess, but what would we do?"
"That's up to your imagination. Think of something to surprise her!" Uriko said, grinning. "Something REALLY romantic! I mean, nobody will be here to disturb you…"
Yugo knew what the young girl meant still strange as it was being indicated by her of all people, though, after today why should be surprised after catching her in the aftermath of a 'secret' romp. He laughed suddenly, nodding with much agreement to her suggestion.
"Yeah, nobody would be here. Perfect, I have a plan. It involves keeping everyone away from the house at all costs. I don't want anyone messing up the mood." He rubbed his hands together.
"Kenji can crash at my house," Uriko said, smile from ear to ear. "That should leave you two alone."
"I don't mind that," Kenji agreed, feeling Uriko snuggle up to his back. "And with the meal organised, you should have your Saturday freed."
"Just don't tell Alice," Yugo said. "Not a word. It's a surprise, okay?"
"Scouts honour!" Uriko said saluting.
"Great!" He leaned back. 'Hope you're ready for a wild night my little rabbit…'
Not suspecting and ploys behind her back, she went with the group to the mall, lasting out most of the day hopping from shop to shop in a mad craze. Alice had her sights set on dresses that day, as she thought of the W.O.C dinner that night. Shina wasn't too thrilled to be hopping from clothes shop to clothes shop, though Jenny's bantering and great compromise left her ogling the electronics in a hi-fi shop.
Alice had noticed Uriko acting strange when she was discussing dresses.
"Don't buy something too expensive," she'd said. "You'll just not wear it again."
'Strange, she's usually the one to splurge on cash,' she thought, but had agreed for something not too flash - a nice simple blue dress that said class, but at a nice affordable price. Jenny was the one burning the bills on a dress of her own - a little red number that had a neckline so low, it almost slit the outfit in two. Well, she was playing special guest while hanging onto Alan Gado's arm and she wasn't going in nothing less that didn't show her off with her perfect model body.
After hanging out at a café in the food court for two hours, they decided to head on back.
Jenny dropped Alice off outside her and Yugo's abode, smiling ever so sweetly, with no intention to give away the little secret Uriko had informed her of early that morning (Well, maybe she was a tiny, little bit, not that Alice really noticed anyway.) "Well, I hope tonight is fun for you."
"Hope so for all of us. And I hope this dress is suiting." Alice sighed happily, looking at her array of shopping bags.
Jenny's smile depended. "The dress never makes the woman, but it helps. I REALLY shouldn't worry about it."
Uriko covered up a giggled, giving Alice a big smile. "See you later, sis."
"Yeah, lets vamoose!" Shina said, slamming her hand on the headrest in front. "I want to get home before I turn forty."
"Mind the leather," Jenny scolded. "Or you're walking home."
"Just drive, woman," she sneered in response.
"Bye, guys," Alice said laughing as she waved the group off. Shaking her head, she walked up the path, humming to herself. She juggled the array of bags to undo her purse and retrieve her set of keys, letting herself in to strangely quiet abode.
'Is Yugo about?' She wondered, looking around the dim surroundings. She gave a shrug, padding into the lounge. A nice orange glow filled the room from the late afternoon sun and she sunk down into the couch, letting her bags fall about her while she took that moment to relax.
She heard padding feet suddenly come from the hallway and turned around to see her lover in the flesh. She'd missed him all of the day.
"Hi, Ally," he greeted casually.
"Where did you run off to this morning? I'm usually the early riser of this relationship?"
He just grinned. "Business, and a few odd jobs I should have done in the week."
"Ah, I see," she said, not pressing; though his grin made her feel a little suspicious.
"So, where have you been then?" He inclined, leaning onto the back of the couch.
She shifted round and gestured the bags. "Shopping! And you should see this dress I brought for the dinner tonight…" She reached for the intended bag, until…
"About that," Yugo said sheepishly. "We're not going."
Alice froze, glancing at him confused. "Huh? What?"
"Change of plans," he said softly. "Everything is sorted. Kenji and Gado are dealing with it."
"But, that seems a little rude, and I did buy a new dress after all…" She said, quite shocked by the news, though at the back of her mind she considered this was going somewhere.
"It was Kenji's suggestion and it's all fine." He patted her head - his usual gesture to her as to say 'no worries'. "Besides, the dress…" The look he gave her made her stomach turn over butterflies. "… You can still wear it for me."
"Yugo, what are you up to?" She questioned, watching his grin deepen drastically.
"You just get dressed - Oh, and I mean in the downstairs bathroom, the upstairs is barred for the time being. That is… until I require your company."
"Yugo?"
He winked at her. "I'll call you when everything is ready." And he disappeared up the stairs, with the rabbit Zoanthrope left bewildered. She looked down at her bag with her dress in and sighed, shrugging, reaching down for it.
'I wonder…' She thought, looking up towards the landing. 'What's he got planned?'
'Oh well, got to look my best,' she thought, her cheeks flushing pink. What could come of this evening?
She slipped on her heels, just to complete the outfit and went to the bottom of the stairs. Her ears pricked up for any sound to give away his surprise. Nothing but the simple buzzing of the quiet house.
"Yugo? I'm ready!" She called up, a little impatient. Curiosity had consumed her thoroughly. "Can I come up?"
"Hold on… just a second…" Came a faint response. A few minutes passed, leaving Alice to tap her foot while she waited. And then, came her beau's voice again. "Okay, come on up!"
'Finally!' And she softly strode up the stairs, peering up with a puzzled expression. Everything on the landing was darkened, all the curtains closed. It made the house feel all spooky in her opinion, but it was somehow part of Yugo's little scheme and she wasn't going to complain. She just couldn't wait to see what he done.
She came to stand outside their bedroom door, knowing this is where his voice had sounded. Her insides tingled at a noticeable level and she was a little nervous to open the door. Biting it back, she turned the handle and stepped boldly into their room.
For an instant, it had been like stepping away from the world she knew into an illusion that had tried to call itself the bedroom. She was gob-smacked, frozen with her hand latched to the door.
The usually bright room was dimmed - the dark drapes were pulled across, helping to bring out the soft glow of the candles that were all around the room. A little flame was everywhere she looked. And all the dressers and cupboards were covered with satin clothes, dangling down, showing off beautiful patterns that drew the eyes in to admire. And the floor was so soft, littered with pillows. Alice was glad she'd looked down while stepping in, or she might have tripped over.
And in the middle of it all, on the bed was Yugo, dressed in the shirt and trousers he was going to wear to the dinner. Though, they were in disarray - the shirt only done a few buttons on the bottom, leaving the top of his well-toned chest exposed. The zip on the top of his trousers was slightly undone, letting his silky boxers peek out over the top. Around him were plates of food. To be exact, it was extravagant looking snack food. He was damn glad Nagi and Long were free that day, better and dealing with cuisine then him.
He grinned, not moving from his laid out position, though reaching a hand out to her.
"Welcome to out own private dinner party," he murmured gently.
Her face lit up, eyes glittering with pre-born tears. "All this… for me?"
"There is nobody else but you who deserves this. Now come, join me."
She was completely overwhelmed by the romantic setting Yugo had prepared for them. Gladly she kicked off her heels and stepped across the mass of cushions before carefully coming to join him on the bed, weaving through the plates laid out to fall into his open armed embrace.
"You didn't have to," she whispered, snuggling against him warmly.
"I wanted to show you how much I care about you, so you won't ever forget," his husky voice tickled in her ear as he pressed his lips there to kiss the lobe. "And you deserve the pampering for all the work you do. Tiring you out so much. I just want to spend some time with you."
A guilty look crossed her face. "I guess I shouldn't work so much. I didn't think about you at all in the whole arrangement - only about my own dreams."
He gently drew a finger across her cheek, guiding her to look into his eyes. "I'd never ask you to give up your dreams. I'll stand by you, whatever you do."
She smiled. "I can compromise to cut down my hours in nursing. They should understand with already having a big position in W.O.C. That way, I'd have more free time to do what I want… and be with you."
"You do what you want," he said. "I won't pressure you."
Looking about the bed, she couldn't help but let a tear shed. "Thank you for this. I appreciate the effort you went to set this up, AND keep it a secret from me."
"Yeah, I'm glad nobody said anything," Yugo said, laughing sheepishly. "And I definitely needed a lot of support to set this up. And about the food, thank Nagi and Long, well, Nagi mostly for having time to help me put the food together."
"Didn't think she'd be one for cooking?"
Yugo laughed. "She watches too much daytime television. All those cooking shows have made an impact."
Alice reached out for the plate that had been just behind her. "Oh! Mini sausages!" She chuckled, taking one off the plate, delightedly popping into her mouth.
"Heh! Now those are what I could easily deal with!" He admitted, getting all cosy against her back.
Giggling, she picked another from the plate, wiggling it before his eyes. His hungry orbs followed the little snack food. His attempt to try and take it from her was in vain, as she snatched it away from his mouth.
She grinned. "Are you going to beg for it?"
"Ally, you tease…"
Sitting back from him, she leaned on one arm, the other out in front, waving the sausage before like a 'doggy treat'. He gave an authentic bark and crawled in front of her on all fours, eyeing the food held before him. He followed it, leaning in as she brought it close to her face.
"Are you going to take it?" She asked, her voice seductive.
A carnal growl rumbled in his throat, and he grinned, getting so close to her, following up so fast to try and catch the sausage, but to no avail as she stuck it in her own mouth. She giggled, watching his eyes feign upset, backed up with a whine.
Alice couldn't help but smile, feeling her face flush at their position. He was pressed right up to her, faces barely with breathing space. But she liked this compromising position she'd caused, now laid back on the bed.
She didn't even get chance to chew the sausage, as he poked her sighs and she gasped slightly, giving him chance to capture her mouth with his own. His tongue whipped out to invade her mouth, not only stirring a dance with her own tongue, but also fighting for the sausage. Alice was giggling the whole while, though also trying not to moan and choke at the same time.
When they parted for air, Yugo whooped with triumph, having succeeded in retrieving his 'treat' from her mouth.
He chewed the little morsel never once letting his eyes leave hers. "Tasty…" He murmured, swallowing with satisfaction.
Her eyes cast a glance around her, all the little plates of food looking so appetising. "It all looks so wonderful. Just what to have next?"
Yugo was crawling back over her. "I know what I want a taste of…"
She caught that lusty look in his eyes. "But, what about all this food? It'll go to waste."
"There's time for it later," he testified, his face slowly lowering into the crook of her neck, kissing the soft, olive skin.
"B-But what about my dress?" She stammered, her face turning as red as a cherry. "I just put it on."
His hands ran over the fine cotton material, slowly easing it up her frame. "You don't need this at our dinner party. You'll look even more ravishing without it on."
She quivered, not able to form an answer. There was no resistance, not even a doubt coming to mind as she let him undress her. She rose her laid out position so that the item of clothing could easily slip up and over her head, leaving her clad only in a very tantalising set of dark, lacy lingerie. And in minutes, even that too had found it's way onto the cushion covered floor with her lovely dress.
Alice was blushing madly, the red seeming to flow down her bare form. Her hands practically had a mind of their own as they tugged at his shirt insistently.
"Off." Her voice eager in her need for him to bare all his gorgeous tanned flesh to her.
He chuckled; batting away her feisty fingers as he slowly undid the last few buttons of his shirt himself. He could see the frustration in her face with him purposely taking his time - HAH! Now who was being the tease?
Buttons undone, he slid the sleeves down and tossed away the light article of clothing to join her garments. He would have taken his time with the trousers too, if Alice had not surprised him and pushed him back, practically tearing the bottoms off his body, taking the boxers with them.
He laughed, watching her hide her cherry face against his chest. "Never knew you could be so desperate."
"Needy is more the word," she tittered. "It's been a while… you can understand…"
"Yeah, with so much work on… Damn, Ally, I want you!"
She squeaked as he flipped their positions so he was once more on top. The bed was jostled wildly, nearly sending the plates scattering, but they were lucky - not as if the couple really cared though, absorbed solely in the other.
Alice kept herself nestled tight up against the warmth of his body. The mere touch sent an indescribable all around her body, especially to one partially 'private' area. She stared up amorously into his vigorous orbs, so dark now with the great consummation of passion.
"This moment, to make up for everything?" She whispered. "All the time apart?"
"This night is for us, Ally," his hoarse voice resounded in a soft, warm breath, which tickled almost playfully against her face.
"All about us…" And she brought silence between them with a kiss, letting there only be the passion to speak the words of what they truly felt.
And as the sun set across the horizon, the stars peeking out from the darkness over them, their cries of pleasure lifted into the night, though only to be heard by the circumspect nightlife, but even too them it was like a distant song of constellations.
As both lovers were brought to climax, there set a peace and knowing that nothing could break apart such a powerful union such as theirs.
Yugo groaned, having not wanted the morning or anyone to yet break apart his peaceful moment with his lover. But of course, everything had to follow its course again, besides breaking the boundaries for one night. Well, at least he was going to cherish these last few moments while he could. He murmured, face tucked between two warm, abounding cushions.
'Mmm… breasts…' His mind moaned for him.
"I guess we should get up." Alice's soft voice brought his face slightly up so his eyes could look to hers. They were slightly glassy from just waking up, but still held that brightness that only she could display whatever the weather.
"But I'm happy where I am." His face burrowed again.
She laughed. "We can't be rude now, can we? And besides, my two 'friends' can always give you cuddles later."
He sighed, and sat up in defeat. "Okay, I guess we can get up now." Looking around the room, he whistled. "Boy, what a mess."
Getting around to it, they did find time to snack on most of the food that had been made - it fitted in quite well with their one on one session. Yugo had to admit being fed by the luxurious naked beauty was like being in his own version of Eden.
"WE'LL BE DOWN IN A BIT!" Alice shouted out for Uriko to hear. After receiving a response, she turned to Yugo. "A shower is called for."
"Yup, though, I hope this time it's not set on cold. Don't want to be tearing down the curtain rail if I can help it!"
"Morning, you sleep well?" He asked, his smile playful.
Yugo gave him the thumbs up. "Slept like a log, though not before last nights fun."
"Thank you for covering for us at the dinner," Alice said to the pair.
"It was nothing," the mole Zoanthrope brushed off. "Nobody seemed to mind that much. And Gado took good care of your clients."
"You should have seen Jenny practically fall out of her dress!" Uriko burst out, laughing whole-heartedly. "Serves her right for trying to test how much cleavage she could leave out in the open."
"We knew the day would come where her defying the odds dress wise would end up falling through… or out in her case."
"Kenji!" Alice exclaimed. "You're really having an affect on my sister with that kind of talk!"
"Hey! It's not me! Blame Riko!" Kenji put up defensively.
The cat-girl swatted him. "Yeah, go on, blame me!"
"You guys had breakfast?" Yugo's stomach rumbled on que of him mentioning the word. After last nights pigging out, he was surprised to still be hungry.
"Some cereal," Uriko said. "But, if you're cooking…"
"How about the full works," Alice put in, grinning. "Sausages, tomatoes, bacon, etc…"
Uriko's face lit up. "REALLY? Yeah, would love some!"
Kenji shook his head at her, before turning to the elder Nonomura. "Sure, why not. I'll have some too."
"And me three! You couldn't miss out me!" Yugo gave her a wolfish grin, clinging onto her.
"Oh you! Of course not!" Alice lightly shoved him. "Okay, breakfast for all! Sit tight!" She ambled towards the kitchen, dragging Yugo with her, as he hadn't let go. When they were out of earshot of the youths, she turned and wrapped her arms around his neck. "I really want to thank you for last night. It meant a lot to me."
"I'm glad." The wolf Zoanthrope kissed her temple gently. "You're worth making a fuss over."
She blushed wildly. "Aww, Yugo."
"Now, how 'bout that breakfast?" He said, wiggling his eyebrows.
She pushed him off, putting her hands on her hips in a mock serious manor. "Oh you! Buttering me up like that!" She just had to laugh at his goofy expression in response. She sighed, playful smile never fading. "I guess it's true what they say. The REAL way to a man's heart is through his stomach…"
