Period

this was requested! please remember to request if you want to - my inbox is always open! 

also please don't comment that i have overdone the pain of the period cramps because, for me, i really haven't. we all experience them differently and mine hurt like a bitch and i usually end up curled in a ball for up to an hour.

I groaned as the cramps whacked my uterus around again. It was my time of the month, and the cramps seemed to be getting worse each time my time came. I had been sat against the wall of the bedroom for the past half hour now, too scared to get up in case of just crumpling back down to the ground because of these stupidly painful cramps.

I desperately wanted to go downstairs and go into the kitchen to get myself a hot water bottle to soothe these damn cramps but that was by far no option. I was home alone and was actually meant to be working on some stupid work project but that clearly was not going to happen any time soon judging on the tears that were still rolling down my cheeks. I couldn't even call Shawn to ask him to come home because my phone was on the other side of the room.

I was staring at the ceiling with my vision blurred with tears for a good half hour before Shawn opened the door to our small house, singing cheerfully to some Ed Sheeran song.

"Hi honey, I'm home!" He shouted in a sing-song voice. I replied in a voice that was thick with my tears.

"Shawn, I-I'm upstairs"

I heard the sound of a bag hit the floor downstairs with a loud thump and heard quick and heavy steps run up the stairs in search of the source of my voice. He opened the door to our shared bedroom and immediately saw me hunched over in the corner.

"Baby what's up? Why are you crying?" He said softly, crouching down and wiping tears away from my cheek with the pad of his thumb.

"Period." I mumbled.

He didn't say anything but immediately hooked one of his muscular arms under my legs and the other around the top of my back as be lifted my up carefully and lay me down on our bed, kissing me softly on the forehead as I adjusted myself on the king size bed. 

"I'll be one minute baby." He said quietly before going back downstairs and boiling the kettle to make me a cup of tea and getting me a much needed hot water bottle. He set the cup down on the bedside table and made sure I was comfortable.

When I tried to take off my jeans and tight sweater that I was wearing to put something more comfortable on, he pushed my hands away gently and insisted that it was his job to do that. He carefully eased the button of my jeans off and pulled the trouser legs down my thighs, not wanting to be too quick in case he made the cramps worse.

He slipped on my sweatpants and then my slippers and then took off my top before replacing it with one of his hoodies, I breathed in the strong musky scent and then relaxed, finally letting himself look after me.

"We're out of tampons." I murmured. He just nodded, smiling down at me. He looked at me like I was the most beautiful thing in the world, even though my face was all blotchy from all the crying and my unwashed hair had just been chucked up into a messy bun. He set up Netflix for me and let me decide on what I was going to watch. I could obviously do this myself but he refused to let me;

"The only time I will stop doing all the work is the day I get my period." He said simply as he plugged in the laptop charger. He left the house and promised to only be gone for 10 minutes tops so he could get back and we could watch Riverdale together and cuddle.

He was, as always, true to his word and came back in under 10 minutes with what looked like 10 boxes of jumbo tampons as well as several boxes of pads in one bag and the other bag full of my favourite chocolates. Mainly Hershey's Cookies 'n' Creme of course. He got the various boxed items out of the bag and gestured to them, wordlessly asking if they were the correct ones to get. He did this every time and he was always right, just like he is about pretty much everything.

I excused myself to change myself. He let me go, knowing that I liked my privacy but warned me with a promise that if I wasn't out in a minute he would start the episode without me. I went as quickly as possible obviously, as Shawn always kept his promises no matter what they were.

I came out of the bathroom, wincing at the never ending ruthless cramps in my uterus. Shawn was already in bed in a similar lazy outfit as me and had already opened a packet of Hershey's kisses. He scooted along the bed even though he had already left over half of the bed for me. I clambered onto the bed and into his arms which wrapped around me held me softly yet strongly against him, pulling my head to rest on his chest.

Halfway through the episode, he moved his hand down toward the hot water bottle. But he wasn't doing this sexually. He moved his hand to my lower stomach and began to gently massage the area, soothing the dull ache of the cramps and I smiled to myself. I was so lucky to have a guy like him.

Just before the episode ended, I felt my eyelids droop and before I fell asleep, I felt Shawn's plump lips softly brush my temple and he whispered slowly,

"Good night princess. I love you, always."
