43: Kei Tsukishima - Cramps

Requested by: AllegramiekeBonquin

 I woke up, the pain in my body triggering a bad mood. The first day was always the worst for me, and always the most painful as the cramps I felt during my period refused to leave me alone. The sharp pain in my stomach felt particularly bad this morning as I got ready for school, already feeling overly irritated. I tried to ease the pain by taking paracetamol but nothing ever seemed to work.

The doorbell rang, signalling that my boyfriend was here to walk me to school. Kei Tsukishima and I had been together for a few months now, and I dared to say I was in love with him but I hadn't told him just yet. Sometimes due to his salty attitude it was quite hard to read his true feelings, despite the fact he occasionally ever so slightly blushed when he was around me. Because of his attitude, I didn't doubt that there'd be a comment regarding my irritated state and her started building up the fire as soon as I answered the door. "You look terrible," he said and I clenched my jaw.

"Shut the fuck up, Kei," I said bitterly, storming past him and slamming the door shut. My words and tone apparently shocked him for a moment as he remained at my door for a couple of seconds, before following me.

"Seriosuly though, did you even bathe this morning?" He asked and I couldn't tell if he was mocking me or if he was checking I was okay. My brain decided it was the former, key adding more wood onto the fire inside of me without even realising.

"I'm not in the mood Kei!" I shouted, trying to walk quicker than him but it was impossible with his long legs. He came up behind me and just sent me a scowl which annoyed me all the more. I decided to just ignore him for the remainder of the walk, letting Yamaguchi keep him entertained on the walk. I subtly clutched onto my stomach as the three of us walked through the school towards our classroom, me parting ways with the boys as soon as we were there and heading over to my best friend, Kataoka.

"Hey, what's wrong?" She immediately asked, seeing the pain I was in that my boyfriend failed to notice. I looked up at her, my expression obviously telling her everything she needed to know. "I have some paracetamol in my bag," she said, going to fish it out but I stopped her.

"I've already had some, but it's not helping," I said, sitting at my desk which was next to hers.

"Has Tsukishima realised?" Kataoka asked and I scoffed.

"Of course he hasn't, he just romantically told me how terrible I looked this morning," I said, it only now beginning to register that he had actually said that. I pouted, glancing over to my boyfriend who was already looking towards me. I turned away quickly, not wanting to think or bother with him at that moment. I cared about him, a lot but I knew he could easily irritate me and I knew it was best for both of us if I kept my distance.

What frustrated me even more was the fact we received our results from our science mock exam, it being an exam I had studied incredibly hard for. When the teacher handed me back my exam, I saw that I had gotten a much lower mark than I had anticipated, which made me clench my fists under the table. A mix of emotions overcame me: anger, shame, upset and embarrassment.

When lunch break rolled around however he was beside me, which admittedly surprised me given the fact it was usually me who went over to him. Yamaguchi followed him of course, but I spent most of my time talking to Kataoka. The pain I was feeling was only worsening throughout the day, and already I had had to go to the toilet to change my sanity towel twice.

The only reason I hadn't told Kei about what I was going through was because I knew he'd poke fun at the situation and that was the last thing I wanted, especially when I was on such a short fuse. "What's up with you? You've been acting moody all day," Kei said suddenly and I had to bite my tongue from saying something harsh.
