Mikey Way Oneshots

perks of being on your period

My mood reached rock bottom the moment I stepped into the shower and realised I was out of my favourite shampoo. Today had been one of those days you wished you had stayed in bed. At least it was Friday.

This morning I nearly overslept so I had to hurry and go to school without any breakfast or even an apple. The bus was late and my science teacher was in his midlife crisis or something so I got detention for being late.

I never get detention but of course today it had to happen. Then during lunch my period decided that now was the perfect time to completely ruin my optimism. Oh, and I hadn't seen my boyfriend Mikey the hole day because we didn't share one single class on Fridays and to say I was pissed when I couldn't find him after school and detention was an understatement. Of course it wasn't his fault that his Friday ended two periods earlier but I still was pretty upset.

On my way home the cramps increased while it had to start raining what made me almost run home. My mother was working late so at least I could be moody all alone and not piss her off too.

And now I stepped out of the shower after using my mother's shampoo and reached for my pads. Oh no. I should have expected this. They were almost empty, one remaining in the package which I took.

After getting dressed in the most comfy things I could find (one of Mikey's Hoodies that I stole and an old leggings) I wrote a message to my mother: Hey, mother nature decided today was perfect to rip out my inner organs.:( Could you maybe bring some pads and new shampoo after work?

I shut my phone off not wanting to deal with the world for a bit; I took my book with me in the living room and I cuddled into one of the fluffy blankets that always were draped on the couch. Too lazy to take a painkiller yet, I tried my best of keeping my hurting back and lower stomach under the blanket, hoping my body warmth would be enough for the moment.

Almost successfully ignoring my surroundings, I let myself get indulged into the story of my book.

Suddenly I heard our doorbell getting off, startling me enough to fall from the edge of the couch where I unconsciously had moved.

Who could that be? Mom didn't say anything about visitors and my parents had keys. Maybe the mailman giving a package for the neighbors?

I didn't want to get up but it could potentially be important so I disentangled myself reluctantly from my warm blanket and got to the door.

Before I opened it, I looked in the mirror that hung next to the jackets and thought I looked really exhausted with my hair lazily thrown in a messy bun, dark circles under the eyes and this one annoying pimple on my chin. I sighed and opened.

What I didn't expected to see was my grinning boyfriend with a backpack and chocolate in hand. "Hey, honey! I think the text I got wasn't supposed for me but you sounded pretty down so here I am!" Mikey explained rather cheering and came in, putting the chocolate on a board near the door and hugging me tight and kissing my head.

I was really surprised by his sudden appearance and wondered what message he was talking about but I wouldn't complain. I hadn't seen him all day and could also need someone cheering me up. So I hugged him back and pecked him on the cheek.

We walked into the living room while Mikey took something out of his backpack stated: "I wasn't sure which ones you needed so I just brought the ones this lady recommended to me but I think I remembered your shampoo. If not, I like the scent so you should at least try it."

Oh my gosh. My eyes must have had been the size of plates and I turned pink. Shit, our chat was open so I texted him instead of my mother. How could I be so clumsy?

But I got the best boyfriend in the world who didn't commented on it, bought me the things I asked for and on top of it showed up while I was feeling shitty. At the moment he looked at me questioningly and waited nervously for an reaction.

I shook off my own embarrassment and took the pads out of his hands looking up to him probably with hearts in my eyes.

"Mikes, you're the best! I'm so sorry, this message was for my mother but I'm kind of glad you got it because I missed you today. Really, you're the best boyfriend in the world!" I thanked him and kissed him properly and with more force than he expected.

We stumbled on the sofa, Mikey's hands around my waist softly pulling me closer. Suddenly a sharp pain shot through my lower stomach and I broke the kiss flinching.

Concern was written in Mikey's eyes while I clutched my stomach. "What happened? Did I hurt you?"

I smiled up reassuringly. "No, babe, just a cramp. They can become pretty bad. Don't worry I'll take a painkiller later" I explained and his expression calmed.

Then he seemed to remember something and looked at me with puppy eyes. "Hey, I thought as a good boyfriend I could stay here with you and make you feel better if you want so I brought some movies and sweets and maybe can cuddle with you a bit?" the last part sounded like a question and I beamed. I jumped on his lap and hugged him as tight as possible.

My mood had changed completely in the last few minutes and I was really content right now sitting here.

"Oh, and can we order food? I'm too lazy for cooking anything." I begged.

Mikey grinned and nodded. He took his phone out and asked: "The usual?"

"Jup" I popped the 'p' and grinned back.

While Mikey ordered our dinner I set some blankets and cushions up, turned the TV on and looked through the movies Mikey brought, finally deciding on just some random one.

We started the movie and I cuddled to him as close as possible, his warm arms wrapped around me tightly and my head on his shoulder.

A bit later the food was there and I took a painkiller while eating, contemplating whether I needed some heating pads because the cramps increased but then I had a better idea.

After finishing our dinner we settled back on the couch and I looked up at Mikey and asked innocently: "Can I maybe sit between your legs and use you as heating pad? My cramps are pretty bad."

Mikey nodded only and opened his arms. I leaned back into his warm embrace and made myself comfortable. His warm hands rested instinctively on my stomach the blanket draped on our entangled bodies.

"This okay?" He asked softly.

I almost purred from the warmth of his hands and body that calmed all aching points on my back and abdomen, but also from his protecting touch in general. In his arms I felt safe.

"Yes, thanks, babe"

I became tired and snuggled even deeper into Mikey. He kissed my head and I closed my eyes dozing off.

In this position my mother found us as she came home, Mikey and me fast asleep.
