Every month, you would try to avoid it. You couldn't deny it obviously. You couldn't ignore it, but you gave it your best shot. Some months were easier than others, but there were those months where you were already done with it before it had started. Depending on how busy you were during life at the time, sometimes it would go unnoticed until that reminder notification popped up on your phone screen, reminding you of the impending doom of womanhood.

Usually, it would start the week leading up to it. That dreaded week before was when you suffered a majority of the symptoms. Your lower back would begin to ache, sending you the warning. Then your already existing sweet tooth would evolve and know no bounds. Strangely, in edition; waves of random nausea would crash over you. And tears became routine, usually over such trivial things, whether beautiful or sad (and perhaps your fuse did become a tad short).

Yet for some reason, you would always try to hide it from him. But perhaps it was just you trying to hide it from yourself. But when he caught you adding a small chocolate bar to your plate of breakfast; he knew. Or maybe, when he woke in the middle of the night to find your leg thrown over him-a a common sleeping position for the two of you- however, on those nights you would be releasing sweet little whimpers as you slowly rubbed against him for relief. Norns, how that drove him wild. But he was none other than a complete gentleman with you. So he would work to settle that insatiable hunger within him that he had for you and take to gently rubbing your lower back. When you did this in, deep within your sleep, he would joke to himself of you being a wee puppy who had taken to a fire hydrant, or a stuffed toy animal. He chuckled to himself in the dark, as you humped away.

As your period neared, he saw it in your movements. You looked stiff and downright uncomfortable. You would spend longer in the steamy shower, the hot flow directly on your lower back. The man he once was would have laughed pitifully at him for this, but when you had your long-needed showers, he began to miss you. He would find himself entering the bathroom and just sitting upon the closed toilet. He would do this sometimes, just to talk to you. Or, he would ask you to do the same whilst he showered. Although you could see him through the glass shower, you would pop your gorgeous head out of the door and ask if he was alright. Of course, he was alright, because he was with you.

Loki loved you beyond the realms, and he wanted nothing more than to protect you from any form of harm and to nurture and love you the way you deserved. So why would you hide your discomfort from him every month? You were a stubborn thing and took pride in your capability of taking care of yourself. You were easily affectionate with him, but your affection was different when you were menstruating. There was a vulnerability about it; about you, and he felt complete honour when you would let him take care of you during this spiritual time, so he didn't appreciate it when you stole his chance to attend to you over those few days at the very start of it all.

For several cycles into your relationship, he wondered why you were trying to hide from him. It had hurt, thinking that you were hiding from him; from his care that you promised you loved, but Loki had soon learnt that it was just a matter of your pride, and unfortunately, your experience of the need to take care of yourself. Now that he understood your little routine when your period symptoms commenced, he would wait for you. A game it almost was. But the moment you were to give me that specific look of need, his arms were already open; and waiting for his beloved.

Loki was going to smother you in care whether you liked it or not. So he spent that afternoon preparing a few things.

That evening, you arrived home and went about your usual post-work routine. You said hello to Loki and covered each other's faces in tiny kisses. Perhaps Loki had applied extra pressure to your lower back and hips purposefully, whilst he had you embraced against his chest. The little hums that you breathed were confirmation enough. He patted your lovely backside and sent you on your way to the bathroom, advising you to have a shower as he had already left out a fresh set of comfy clothes for you.

That evening, Loki marvelled to himself as you cuddled into his side as you ate a piece of the fresh bread that he had baked for you, earlier that day. He chuckled as you would exaggerate moans of pleasure whilst eating, and mention how this 'hot buttered bread is almost as good as sex'. Soon, he had the pleasure of snuggling with you on the couch as he rubbed your bloated belly before you decided that dessert was in order. Even as Loki braved debating with you that eating a whole loaf of bread for dinner was not substantial or nutritional enough for your body, especially during this sacred time, he waived his argument as you nestled your way closer to his body. You had him completely wrapped around your finger, and he wouldn't have it any other way.

The next morning, it was all go. Usually, it would be the case of Loki talking you into lingering between the morning sheets, but this daybreak, you were the one to pull him back in. That ridiculous need of yours to prove your Midgardian strength to him was gone, and Loki got to spend the rest of the week doting on you, his precious one, as you cramped and shed your lining.

What a gift you had given him.
