Everything you write is so wonderful. Your pacing, your tone, the great care you always take with the two of them. Just gorgeous.
And now that that's out of the way, HOLY FUCK THIS WAS HOT. JUST. YEAH. UH-HUH.
(Incidentally, holding a spoonful of sugar in the mouth has never failed to cure my hiccups. Were I a boy, though, I'd forgo that remedy for this one every time.)
Awww, I'm so glad that you like my writing style! It's always nice to know that my abilities are appreciated, so thanks for letting me know! :D
(No kidding? I really think it must be this whole thing of tickling the parasympathetic system's nerve endings, so to speak. Holding the spoon in your mouth might be enough to trigger the gag reflex just enough to overcome any hiccups. This whole thing with the rectal massage was only used as a final attempt to cure according to the articles and even then the hiccups had been going on for days.)
(No, not holding the spoon, just the sugar. You don't swallow it, you let it dissolve & slide down your throat. I think it has to do with forcing your mouth to stay still & not give in to the reflex of swallowing.)
Oh, psh~ You're having me turn red from this flattery~ ♥
(Huh! I will totally try this the next time I get hiccups and possibly also ask my professors about it. SURELY ONE OF THEM WOULD HAVE SOME THOUGHTS ON IT.
The thing is that the parasympathetic nervous system is so much stronger than will power. It's what drives you to breathe and it's when it's all jittery that you get the hiccups in the first place. So maybe it's the fighting it -- and therefore the forcing it to overcome your conscious decision -- that helps with the hiccups.
SO MUCH SCIENCE.)
PS: Are we friends yet? I feel like we should be friends.
