Benimaru sighed heavily as he entered his room. He removed his kimono and hung it up on the wall. Next he took off his black apron. His tummy sloshed forward slightly as he took it off. He hung it next to his kimono.

Beni groaned as he looked down at his bloated tummy, lightly rubbing it with both hands.

“What I have I done?” He thought to himself.

Glorp…

He felt everything slosh around as he carefully sat on the side of his bed.
He continued rubbing his stomach as it continued to ache. He eventually decided to lie down on his back. He felt everything shift inside of him as moved.

guuurrglee

“Urgh..” Beni groaned as his belly released a painful gurgle. He gently rubbed his tummy with one hand. He could feel his stomach bubbling and working extra hard under his hand.

Grrrrrurrrgleee

“Ow..” He cried quietly as the ache in his tummy only grew. He winced in pain with each gurgle.

GrrrrROOOANNN….

Beni lifted his shirt revealing his swollen gut.

GRRRrrrOArglleee….

“Damn it” Beni cursed a little angrily as long painful groan erupted from deep inside his stomach. “Why did I eat the whole bag?..” he muttered to himself in regret, rubbing his belly harder with both hands.

“Ughh” he moaned as rolled onto his side, feeling everything slosh in his tummy. He wrapped both arms tightly around his middle under his shirt as his tummy continued to complain noisily.

Rurrr…gurrrgle….rrrumble…gurr…glorp.

Laying on his side seemed to make his tummy gurgle like crazy. He curled into a ball with his arms wrapped tightly round his tummy still.

a few hours had passed and Konro and the girls had returned. He had taken the girls out to play by the river.

“Waka! We’re home!” Konro called out. He got no response. Her scanned the room slowly.

“Where‘s waka? One of the girls questioned.

“He might be in his room” Konro responded, he took out two handfuls of candy from his pocket and handed them to the twins. “Here, why don’t you go and enjoy some of this candy we bought today and I will go check on waka?”

The twins cheered as they excitedly snatched the candy from his hands and ran off to another room. Konro giggled and shook his head in response.

Konro walked into the hallway, looking left and right with hands on hips. He glanced at the captain’s slightly open bedroom door.

——————————————————-
Gurgle..grrroan…

“Ughh” Beni groaned in unison with his tummy. The ache had not gone away much. He rubbed his tummy deeply, still laying on his side facing the wall.

Burble…

There was a gentle knock on his door.
“Waka?” A familiar voice asked softly. The door slowly slid open. “Waka? You in her…” the voice stopped as the person saw the state Beni was in.

Beni slowly looked over his shoulder to seed Konro standing by the door with a concerned look on his face.

“Leave me alone..” Beni snapped quietly.

“Beni?…are you alright?” Konro asked in a caring tone, walking towards him slowly.

“I’m fine!” Beni answered unconvincingly as he tugged his shirt over his belly.

“You don’t look fine…” konro added frowning with his hands on his hips again.

Grrrrruuummmble…..

At that moment, an embarrassingly loud grumble escaped Benimaru’s stomach. He blushed lightly. Konro paused as he heard the loud sound.

“Waka…was that your tummy?” he asked both surprised and concerned, standing by Beni’s bed.

“No…” Beni said sheepishly, only for his tummy to embarrass him again with another loud growl. He blushed even more.

Konro pulled the covers back more from the bed and noticed Beni trying to cover his gut.

“Is something wrong with your tummy?” Konro asked raising and eyebrow, pointing to Beni’s stomach.

Guurrr…

“P-pain..” Beni answered weekly pointing to his gurgling stomach.

“Tummy ache?” Konro questioned.

Beni blushed more as he only replied with a nod. Konro sat down on the bed next to Beni. Konro told Beni to roll over onto his back. Konro lifted Beni’s shirt up to see that his stomach was slightly rounder than normal.

“Wow, your tummy certainly looks a little full there” konro chuckled as he gently placed his hand on Benimaru’s tummy. “It feels full too, maybe a little too full” he added rubbing it lightly.

Beni was bright red, he couldn’t help but feel embarrassed about Konro seeing him like this. He avoided making eye contact with him.

Grrurrruummble…

Konro could feel the constant churning inside of Beni’s stomach.

Konro noticed Beni’s red face. He smiled warmly, chuckling slightly. “It’s okay waka, everyone gets a tummy ache now and again” he reassured.

Grrrroarrr…

“ My belly…” Beni moaned in pain, “it hurts so bad..” he admitted.

“ Want me to help make it better?” Konro asked, patting Beni’s sore tummy. He wasn’t used to seeing the tough captain of the 7th in such a sorry state, he felt a little bad for him.

Beni nodded in response, grunting in pain slightly.
