All that I Want

Overly Concerned.

I wake up to extreme cramps in my lower back and hips. Chase is still passed out laying next to me, so I gingerly get up off the bed and tiptoe to the bathroom to find out I started my period.
"Shit," I mutter under my breath as I dig through the cabinet under the sink to get a pad out.
Once I finish up, I tiptoe back into my bedroom only to see Chase sitting up, rubbing his eyes, "are you okay?"
"Um, yeah," I lie.
He raises an eyebrow, insinuating that he knows I'm lying.
I start to bend forward as another wave of cramps hit full force and he's at my side in a split second.
"What's going on??" He asks, overly concerned.
"Cramps. Period. Pain. Ugh," I groan out as the cramps continue.
He sweeps me up into his arms and walks over to the bed, carefully laying me down, "what can I do?"
"Nothing," I say as I curl into a fetal position until the cramps subside. Once the cramps are gone I start to stretch out a little more and he sits down next to me.
"Is this because of last night?" He asks. "Did I cause this?"
"No," I shake my head. "My period just came a little earlier than usual."
He hangs his head, still not completely convinced it wasn't his fault.
"Hey," I tilt his head up to look at me, "last night was perfect. I wouldn't have wanted anyone else to be my first," I reassure him. "You were so gentle and caring, there's no way you could've caused this."
He nods in acknowledgment, "what do you need? Is there any way I can help?"
"I don't think so," I shake my head.
He lays down next to me and stretches his arm out so I can curl into him.
After a few moments of silence I ask him, "was last night... okay?" I feel my cheeks turn red as the words leave my mouth.
"It was better than okay," he says and I can hear the smile in his voice, "it was amazing. I'm glad you were my first, too."
"Good," I smile into his chest. "I'm proud of you for getting homecoming king, I don't know if I ever told you that last night."
"Even if you weren't crowned, you're still my queen," he kisses the top of my head and squeezes me closer to him.
"How do you do that?" I ask in a small voice.
"Do what?" He looks down at me and I meet his eyes.
"Always say the right thing and be so sweet all the time?"
"You bring it out in me," he smiles.
I shake my head lightly with a small smile, "I'm serious, though. You always know what to say to make my heart go a flutter."
He blushes, "I follow my heart, and it always leads me back to you."
It's my turn to blush as I bury my head into his chest so he can't see it. I run my fingers across his bare stomach and watch as it twitches under my finger tips. I smile as I continue to innocently tickle him.
"Stop that," he laughs and I continue to tickle him more, this time with both hands. "Y/n, stop it," his body shakes with laughter.
I laugh as I continue tickling him and he squirms under my touch, "I don't know, this is kind of fun."
Another wave of cramps take over and interrupt my fun as I curl into a ball trying to relieve some of the pain.
"This can't be normal," I hear Chase say as he rubs my back worriedly.
I writhe in pain and take deep breaths, trying anything to alleviate the pain.
"It's worse than normal," I whisper once the majority of the pain is gone.
"Are you sure there's nothing I can do?" He asks again.
"Midol, you can get me Midol."
"Okay," he rushes to the bathroom and I hear him rustle around in the medicine cabinet and random pills rattling. "There's none in here."
"Ugh," I groaned, "wonderful."
I listen to him rustle around in the cabinet under the sink and call out to him to tell him that it wouldn't be in there.
He comes back into my room, "I'm going to run to the store to grab you some. Is there anything else you can think of that might help?"
I shake my head, "you don't have to do that."
"I know," he says and strides over to my bed. He kisses me on the forehead before saying, "I'll be back as fast as I can. Don't move."
