MAY-U - Ori x OC

Ah, a bit of self-indulgent nonsense!

Characters: Ori x OC

Prompts: Bookshop - Chiropractor - Librarian - Two things can be true at the same time

Words: 2 200

Warnings: FTM character, slight nudity, massages, innuendo

“Say, Charlie,” Fíli looked up from his beer with a mischievous twinkle in his eyes. “Would you do me a favour?”

Charlotte, who only loathed her family’s nickname more than her actual, official name, narrowed her deep green eyes in instinctive suspicion before cocking her head inquisitively. “You can always ask. I still owe you one for letting me use your body for my anatomy study.”

“Abuse, you mean?” Fíli cackled and punched her shoulder playfully.

She’d known the young man for years and usually trusted him fully, but she’d witnessed the catastrophic consequences of his present facial expression once too often not to be wary of his next words.

“I’ve got this friend,” he started in his most melodious and persuasive voice, lifting his strong hands to nip her protest in the bud. “He’s been studying hard to become a librarian, and all these hours hunched over heavy books have left him with a sore neck.”

When she merely stared at him in wordless outrage, he chuckled. “He’s working in the little bookshop by the campus, and I’m sure he could get you a discount on that absurdly weighty tome of technical literature you’ve been eyeing!”

This gave Charlie pause; she’d been in that establishment more than once, but she couldn’t recall ever spotting a conspicuous hunchback on the premises. Then again, she was not actively paying attention to people when there were so many interesting and desirable books around.

“I’m a medical professional, not a masseuse,” she finally muttered. “And I’m not even licensed yet—I can’t go treating people willy-nilly.”

“Oh no,” Fíli exclaimed triumphantly. “This would be strictly non-professional. Really, it would be unethical of me to suggest otherwise.”

“So, he’s hot,” Charlie grunted as soon as she realised she’d blindly run right into the trap her friend had set for her without so much as earnestly trying to dissimulate it.

With a charming grin, Fíli shrugged. “Couldn’t say—I’m not into men. I don’t think there’s anything really wrong with him, so there is no need for you to deploy all your professional skills. See? No ethical dilemma—it’s just a little favour amongst friends.”

“That man—what’s his name?—is not my friend, though,” Charlie protested weakly, thinking of the book she desired so passionately and could not possibly afford.

“His name is Ori, and he could become your friend. I’ll tell him you’ll swing by—I’ll even throw in a pizza for the both of you to enjoy once the deep tissue massage is over.”

“You should have become a salesman,” Charlie grumbled but reluctantly agreed to present herself in the cosy bookshop the following day.

“You’re the best. I promise you won’t regret it,” Fíli cheered, pressed a resounding kiss onto her cheek, and sauntered out of the small pub without paying his tab.

Ori kept glancing at the door as if he expected Death personified to stroll in at any moment.

Ever since Fíli had ambushed him at closing time the previous day, he’d been in a state of high alert that did nothing for his already painfully tense neck and shoulder muscles.

Toying with a bookmark absent-mindedly, the future librarian wondered whether all Fíli’s friends were de facto worried whenever he declared that he had an “idea”. At first, the promise of a free massage had sounded too good to be true—Ori knew that he was in desperate need of a bit of relaxation—but, only too soon, that fleeting sense of nascent ease had dissolved in a surge of paralysing panic.

“Did you tell your friend…You know…?” he’d squeaked, dreading whatever answer Fíli could have given.

“I’ve told Charlie that it would not be a professional chiropractor session, so there was no ethical dilemma impeding the obtainment of a license in the future,” Fíli had grinned. “Just a little kneading between friends!”

“You know exactly what I mean! What did you say about me?”

“Nothing! I want it to be a surprise. We’re friends, after all, and all my friends deserve good things!”

“I am not a good thing!” Ori had exclaimed, throwing his hands in the air helplessly.

“To Charlie, you will be. Now shut up and don’t look a gift horse in the mouth!”

The mere insinuation that he was being ungrateful had had a chilling effect on Ori, and so, he had simply done as he’d been told and kept his mouth shut.

Only 10 more minutes until closing time, he now thought nervously as his eyes flew to the clock once more. Maybe, that mysterious friend would not show up after all. No doubt, Fíli’s college buddies had better things to do than to go dispensing much-needed healing interventions—free of charge moreover—to random bookworms they’d never met.

And then, the bell over the door jingled and a young woman strode in, her curly hair tousled by the wind and her round cheeks flushed with colour.

Ori’s heart sank.

“Oh Fíli, you ass,” she cursed under her breath as she approached the counter with unwavering determination.

Ori, who’d always felt so safe behind the solid wood, all of a sudden couldn’t shake the sensation of being woefully exposed on the small dais, akin to a sacrificial lamb about to meet its bloody demise.

“You must be Ori,” she said in lieu of a proper greeting. “How come I’ve never seen you around? Surely, I should have…”

“You’re a girl,” Ori replied sheepishly. “Fíli didn’t say…He let me believe…”

“Righto!” She threw her head back and laughed, wishing Fíli to hell for playing wicked games with his so-called friends’ emotions. “I’m Charlie, and I’ve been told that you needed a neck massage.”

“Charlie,” Ori replied softly, the wheels in his head clicking softly into place. He knew her—of course, he did.

The small, curvy woman had come in several times in the last few weeks to look at one specific book, and he’d often wondered whether he should simply offer to use his employee discount for her to purchase it. Ori knew they’d never sell the blasted thing at full price anyway; it was much too expensive and heavy, and the internet had made it patently obsolete.

“Do you want the book?” he asked as if he’d not heard or processed her very clear explanation for her presence in the shop.

“No, well yes, but not now…You’re almost off, aren’t you? Do you live far? I don’t think that you’d want to do this at your workplace, would you?” Charlie bit her lip nervously, blinking rapidly when Ori only stared at her, dumbfounded, instead of answering.

"Very close, actually. I have…I rent the flat upstairs, so…Do you really want to do that?”

No, Charlie thought, but she’d given her word to Fíli, and she was not the kind of woman to flake even if she was aware that she’d been tricked mercilessly. She’d not grant her friend the satisfaction of having cowed her so easily!

Ori, as she had secretly suspected, was exactly her type—pale and doe-eyed, he had the elfin charm of a porcelain doll and hair shimmering in all the shades of a midnight bonfire.

Few were the people who knew that Charlotte, her parents’ perfect princess, was both astoundingly indiscriminate when it came to the gender of her partners and laughably partial to gingers.

Fíli, of course, was one of those rare chosen ones who were all too aware of that particular proclivity of hers, and a part of her resented him ferociously for having hidden away a rare beauty like Ori all this time.

“Better late than never,” she muttered to herself as she watched Ori lock the register hastily and turn down the lights.

From his reduced range of motion and frequent wincing, she could deduce that Fíli had indeed been right in his layman’s diagnosis, and her professional pride was awakened at once.

Even though they all agreed that it would be better for her not to deploy any overly technical manoeuvres, she couldn’t help but think that a proper deep tissue massage would do wonders for the poor wretch.

“You know that for this to work, you’ll need to relax sooner or later, right?” she teased gently when Ori gestured at the small, squeaking door leading to the backroom jerkily.

The small “hmph” sound that escaped her host as he climbed the rickety stairs stiffly ahead of her made her smile instinctively, and she impetuously vowed that she’d make him unwind at all costs.

His flat turned out to be so small that they walked through the door and right into his crowded living room, and Charlie breathed in the warm, dusty air greedily as if she could learn more about the enthralling tenant through mere inhalation.

“Erm, do you need anything?” Ori asked, kneading his fingers fitfully as he tried to push a pair of worn sneakers under the couch with his heel. “A drink or…”

“A flat surface,” Charlie replied calmly. “If possible one that is accessible from every side…and a lemonade, if you have one.”

She’d only added the last part to give him the illusion of control, and she suppressed another grin when he dashed into the adjoining kitchen right away.

Oh yes, Fíli would definitely pay for this!

Listening to the clinking of glassware and the thump of a fridge door being opened and closed, Charlie assessed the cramped living room. If she half-converted the rickety sofa bed, she could push aside the coffee table and walk around the furniture with ease…she had to keep herself distracted, lest she dwell too long and too intensely on the endearingly wavering smile or the deep, dark eyes of her unwitting host.

“Here we are,” Ori spoke behind her and handed her a promotional glass with another heart-wrenching smile that made her shiver with joyful anticipation of she knew not what exactly. “I can give you every discount in the system for the book; I’m sure we can bring it down to an almost reasonable price!”

He was sweet, Charlie realised, and that alone made her all but forget about the blasted volume of wisdom, slumbering in the fragrant darkness downstairs.

“Let me earn it,” she purred, feeling for her bag across the mutilated couch. “Why don’t you take off your sweatshirt? You’re not allergic to arnica or mint, right?”

Ori shook his head but didn’t undress.

“There is something you need to know,” he murmured, visibly ill at ease. “Fíli should have told you, really, but…”

Beneath his wispy beard, his face filled with colour, and Charlie gripped her bag tighter to keep her hands from reaching out to dip her fingers into that entrancing pool of blossoming pink.

She nodded encouragingly.

“I was not…My biological sex does not correspond to my gender identity,” he said firmly, belying the tension in his shoulders and the quiver in his lower lip. “But I am a man!”

“Two things can be true at the same time,” Charlie replied in her most professional tone. “As it is, I might also need a towel, please. I will not ask you to take off any more than your sweatshirt if you’re not comfortable with that, but I need to have access to your shoulders. We usually cover the chest area of people with breasts.”

“Oh, they’re not worth the hassle,” Ori chuckled nervously. “So, I just wanted you to know…in case that changes things for you.”

“Other than me asking for a towel, not really. Why would it?” Charlie was genuinely confused. “Right. You’re only here as a favour to Fíli…I didn’t mean to imply anything improper…I’m sorry!”

“You’re cute,” Charlie interrupted his self-conscious waffling resolutely. “Fíli knew precisely what he was doing.”

She grabbed him by the shoulders, digging her fingers into the tense muscle tentatively, and looked him in the eye. “It changes nothing. Now, let’s start before I forget myself!”

Her breathy confession seemed to embolden Ori considerably, for he tore off his woollen sweater in one fluid motion and tossed it aside.

“Sports bra! Sensible choice!” Charlie praised and motioned at the cleared sofa bed. “Lay down please.”

On account of her previous act of unsanctioned vandalism, she now could comfortably crouch over him for the first part of the massage and thus managed to apply enough pressure to work out the knots of compounded tension progressively.

“You should watch your posture!” Charlie muttered as she got up and walked around the piece of furniture to stand over her softly moaning new friend.

“Will you come back if I don’t?” he asked dreamily.

“I’ll come back if you ask me back,” she replied immediately. “I’d rather not see you in pain, though. Now close your eyes and enjoy!”

No matter what she’d said before, she had to admit that she was thoroughly enjoying this, and—even though her hands grew tired—she wished that this moment would never end.

“Charlie,” Ori whispered then. “As this is in no way a professional intervention, I can take off the bra, if…”

“Yes,” she said with unmistakable fervour, relieved that her unshakeable sense of professional ethics would not be compromised by whatever happened next. “Please!”

3 Reasons Why Your Low Back Hurts When You Stand Up

There can be several factors that contribute to pain when transitioning from a sitting to a standing position. Here are a few possible causes:

Imbalances within the pelvis and its surrounding muscles.  Prolonged sitting can lead to both structural and muscle imbalances, particularly in the sacrum (hip bone), hip flexors and gluteal muscles. When you stand up, these imbalances can cause pain as the muscles readjust and try to support your body weight. If this is the cause of your pain, the best treatment is to see a chiropractor near you.

Joint stiffness: Remaining seated for extended periods can cause joints, such as the knees and hips, to become stiff. When you stand up, the sudden movement can strain these stiff joints and cause discomfort.

Poor posture: Maintaining improper posture while sitting, such as slouching or sitting with rounded shoulders, can place excessive stress on your spine and other supporting structures. When you stand up, the change in position can exacerbate the strain on these areas and result in pain.

It’s important to note that these are general possibilities, and the actual cause of your pain may vary. If you frequently experience pain when transitioning from sitting to standing, it’s advisable to consult a healthcare professional, such as a doctor or chiropractor, for a proper evaluation and personalized advice.

Chiropractic Care - An Alternative To Opioids

With fast-acting pain relief medications widely available in the market, is chiropractic care an alternative to opioids? Most people opt to relieve themselves of all types of discomfort and pain by purchasing medications from the nearest drug store. However, for more intense levels of pain, the standard solution is a trip to the hospital for pain management, where patients suffering from an excruciating pain receive an opioid prescription. These pain scenarios can range from arthritic knee pain to accident injuries suffered in a car accident.

Dating back to the era of Chinese dynasties, opioids were used to treat all types of extreme pain such as neck pain and low back pain which range from serious internal conditions to major physical injuries. Although opioids have proven to be effective for quick and effective pain relief, they come with one serious problem that continues to persist until today: addiction and opioid abuse.

The side effects of opioid medicines

In addition to addiction, opioid medicine also comes with a wide array of side effects that cause the risks to outweigh the benefits. Side effects that come with opioids include:

Liver damage

Nausea and vomiting

Constipation

Bloating

Respiratory depression

Hypotension

Subsequent brain damage due to hypoxia

Experiencing hospital trip-worthy levels of pain has left people struggling with a dilemma, searching for effective alternative  and options for pain management as the opioid epidemic continues to rage on. Nowadays, people have to make a choice between holding on and fighting through the pain, or getting a highly-effective pain killer that leaves them prone to opioid addiction and opioid abuse. Thankfully, however, modern medical solutions now come in the form of effective alternative treatments, with the most effective for severe pain being chiropractic care as an alternative to opioid prescriptions and pain medications.

Through chiropractic care, patients have been able to negate the risks posed by opioid pain medications by not having to take it at all. With chiropractic care being widely-available in every country, patients have been able to protect their health while effectively managing both acute pain and chronic pain.

Chiropractic care function as an alternative solution to opioids

Chiropractic care is much more than kneading in the right spots and giving a higher-priced massage therapy. Every licensed doctor of chiropractic has a greater understanding of the human body and how it works, allowing them to see issues and conditions from a medical professional’s point of view and clinical guidelines. With greater knowledge of the human body’s inner workings and parts, chiropractors are able to pinpoint certain problem areas and apply effective spinal manipulation techniques for reducing pain.

When it comes to musculoskeletal pain relief, opioids provide a solution by getting into the brain’s nerve receptors for pain and shuts down the pain receptors, but at the cost of normal bodily functions. On the other hand, chiropractic care  approach to pain and the problem of chronic pain by getting down to the source and applying the necessary techniques needed to eliminate the root cause does so without prescribing opioids.

Chiropractic care provides patients who suffer from chronic pain with an option that relieves them of their suffering while providing protection for long-term health. Gone are the days where people would have to rely on harmful opioids for immediate pain relief but end up damaging their bodies due to the side effects. Aside from spinal manipulation, chiropractic care has extended to mastery and care over other areas of the body, making it an optimal choice for relieving chronic pain.

Here are the Most Common Treatment Options for Sciatica

The treatment for sciatica often depends on the underlying cause and severity of the condition. Here are some common approaches beginning with the lowest invasive.

Heat and Cold Therapy: Applying heat packs or ice packs to the affected area can help reduce inflammation and alleviate pain. Alternating between heat and cold therapy may be beneficial.

Pain Management: Over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB) or naproxen sodium (Aleve) can help reduce pain and inflammation. In some cases, prescription medications like muscle relaxants or narcotics may be necessary.

Chiropractic Manipulation: Spinal adjustments performed by a chiropractor may help relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve and improve symptoms.

Physical Therapy: Specific exercises and stretches can help relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve and strengthen the muscles supporting the spine. A physical therapist can provide guidance on proper techniques.

Steroid Injections: Corticosteroid injections directly into the affected area can help reduce inflammation and provide temporary pain relief.

Surgery: In severe cases of sciatica where conservative treatments have failed to provide relief, surgery may be considered. Surgical options may include discectomy (removal of part of a herniated disk) or laminectomy (removal of part of a vertebra).

It’s essential to consult with a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment recommendations tailored to your specific condition.

If you live in Charlotte and are in need of a sciatic nerve evaluation, check out Active Life Chiropractic in Ballantyne. Our conservative treatments aim to eliminate the root cause of sciatic pain and prevent future flare ups. Many patients see relief within 1 week!

7 Ways a Chiropractor Can Help Manage Stress & Anxiety – What to Know

Are you dealing with stress and anxiety? If you’ve exhausted most of your options to overcome stress or anxiety, but you still to no avail are suffering, then you might want to consider scheduling a chiropractic treatment session with a chiropractor near you.

Chiropractic care is a mind-body approach that helps relieve physical symptoms to improve mental health. If you’re seeking a more holistic approach to improving your mental health, then chiropractic care may be what you’re looking for.

Here are seven ways that a chiropractor can help manage stress and anxiety.

They help reduce muscle tension

When you’re under stress, your muscles will tense up and may cause neck pain. Over time, this can take a toll on your overall health, leading to panic attacks, anxiety disorder or anxiety and depression. A chiropractor can help relieve tension in your body by making spinal adjustments that can restore your body to its natural balance. Whether this tension is in the neck or causing lower back pains, chiropractic care can help reduce muscle tension.

They help restore bodily functions

The spine is the backbone of your neurological system, and the brain communicates all bodily functions with the spine tot eh central nervous system through the spinal cord. When you feel stress, you will tense up, causing your spine to move. With advanced chiropractic care a chiropractor can help adjust your spine to effectively restore bodily functions. When your spine is well-adjusted, you’ll notice you’re getting sick less and have more energy, demonstrating the effectiveness of chiropractic care.

They help lower blood pressure

Stress or anxiety can cause your blood pressure to shoot up in an instant. Chiropractic care is said to help significantly when it comes to blood pressure management. There have been several studies of chiropractic resources that brought fruitful results in favor of chiropractor care and in lowering blood pressure. Correcting the misalignments with chiropractic manipulations have shown positive results in lowering blood pressure and anxiety. This care will also help with both depression and anxiety symptoms.

They promote all-natural solutions

If you want to go down the all-natural path to manage your stress & anxiety, then chiropractic care is a good

choice. There are many patients on anxiety medications who often complain about the side effects of their medicine. Chiropractors in Charlotte NC can help reduce symptoms of anxiety that can eliminate the need to take anxiety medications by using natural methods. Those who suffer from chronic stress or depression and anxiety can benefit from chiropractic care.

They help trigger positive hormones

Another benefit of spine adjustment is that it increases good hormones in your body, such as oxytocin and cortisol. When they are produced, you will experience less stress and anxiety following chiropractic care. With the increase in good hormone levels this will decrease the likelihood of anxiety attacks reducing stress, anxiety and depression.

They help with getting quality sleep

When you’re stressed or anxious, chances are that you’ll have a hard time getting quality sleep. With the help of a chiropractor, people suffering from stress, anxiety and depression can help you improve the quality of your sleep. There have been studies that show chiropractic care improves sleep patterns by correcting spinal misalignments. So, if you’re having trouble sleeping, you might want to consider a visit to a chiropractor, especially after an auto accident.

They promote relaxation

Stress and anxiety can make it difficult for you to relax. With chiropractic care, however, you will be able to relax easily. Another study shows that chiropractic adjustments can reduce muscle activity by 25%, which makes it an effective way to relax and reduce stress and anxiety as well as chronic pain.

There are many chiropractors out there that you can choose from, which is why it’s vital that you select a chiropractor near you that suits your needs and you’re comfortable in. Do enough research beforehand and ask for recommendations from family and friends. You can also ask your doctor for recommendations to ensure that you’ll get the best chiropractic care.
