“Answer me,” he snaps. “You’re in pain? Where?” God. It’s fucking embarrassing. You can feel your cheeks burning and you just want to crawl back into your pile of fleece warmth and put on your favorite old movie for the sixth time. Or maybe rewatch that comfort-show for the fourth. Rocket’s relentless, though. As per frickin’ usual.

“What’s got you acting so weird?” he asks at last, turning back to you. “And looking like Pete used to look after a hangover?” The annoyance flares again. “You’re such a jackass.” Now his brows knit. “Okay. C’mon.” His hand circles your wrist — always so warm and leathery against your skin — and he drags you back to your living room. You can feel the moment he notices your pitiful, desperate nest of blankets, the library of pain relievers, the heating pad you’d made dangerously hot. It won’t be the first time you’ve left welts on your belly, back, and hips from the thing.  He’s immediately turning back to you, eyes hunting your face, your neck, and whatever he can see of you huddled under your shapeless hoodie and sweatpants. “You in pain?” he asks sharply, and the concern in his voice melts away any vestige of annoyance. For a second, all you want to do is cry. It’s not even the hormones — though they’re probably not helping. It’s just that you’ve been wearing a wreath of pain for half-a-week now, waking up a million times in the middle of the night to what seems like the slow sawing of a dull blade through your organs. It feels as though you’re carrying a brick in your lower abdomen, and everything in your lower back is aching to maintain balance. Even your upper thighs are trembling and sore.  You’ve had next to no sleep, and trying to pin down the echo chamber of cramping in your belly for the past three days has you at the edge of your wits. Plus, you know that Rocket knows pain, and between your exhaustion and the relentless onslaught of your body, you’ve begun to gaslight yourself. Maybe it’s not really as bad as you think. Maybe you’re overreacting.

Sock of rice.

It is an amazing form of heat treatment; I have used it several times, and am using it as I type this. Seriously.

Here’s what you do:

Fill the foot part of an old sock with dry rice, either knot or tie the end closed, microwave for thirty seconds at a time (turning before restarting microwave) until sock is really warm - but not too hot - to the touch, and apply it to wherever you’re hurting.

The rice holds in heat so well, that the sock will remain warm for a looooong time. It can even be reheated several times before it starts smelling burnt, lol.

***Disclaimer: Be careful! I durno if it can become a fire hazard or anything, so USER BEWARE. I will not be held responsible for anything, seriously. It hasn’t happened to me, but that doesn’t mean it couldn’t - so pay attention when you heat it, every time.***
