a rainy day (lloyd)

warning: mention of blood/periods

A hand rubbed up and down my arm, intensity increasing. I shifted, shoving a pillow over my face. With a groan, I opened my sleepy eyes. Please, god, I don't want to leave the warm, cozy hug that happened to be sleep. Rain pounded on the window, calming me. Lloyd sat next to me on his bed, his green eyes wide and concerned.

"Sunshine, you're bleeding.. what happened? Are you in pain? I'll get Zane!" Lloyd hastily blurted, the panic in his voice raising it a few octaves.

Groggily, I got out of bed, staring at the white sheets. Hot tears came to my eyes as I saw the dark red stain on the sheets where I had slept. I felt the blood seeping through my pants as cramps twisted my insides. All of this for a baby that I wasn't ready for, and it happened every single month. My head pounded, too.. I was officially in hell.

"I'm sorry," I whimpered, knowing the stain on his sheets would take forever to get out.

I unlocked my phone, checking my period tracker app. My expected start day was today. I was so dumb, I should've expected this. I didn't even have extra clothes. Lloyd had stood up and walked over to me, his arms open. He wrapped his arms around me, letting my head rest against his chest as he rubbed my back up and down. With a kiss on my forehead, he pulled away momentarily.

"It's okay, buttercup," he murmured, a confused look on his face.

"W-wait, do you know what a period is?" I asked, through the tears I was wishing would go away.

"I- uh, I've heard of them, but.. nobody ever told me what it was. Since tomorrow's tea, I missed that section of school and I-I guess I was too scared to ask anyone," he admitted, looking at the ground nervously.

"I'll tell you all about it later, okay, love?" I said gently, placing a soft kiss on his lips, resulting in a sweet smile from him.

"I can go start a shower for you, and I'll get the sheets washed, okay? Oh.. and I'll ask Nya for, um, whatever you need for it," he said nervously. His sweet voice wavered, and I hugged him tighter. He was the best, and thinking about how amazing he was made me cry.. even more.

I knew that this made him nervous, but, to be honest, he was doing better than most guys would've, especially since he didn't know what was happening. He knew all the right things to do. He always did.

Wiping the tears off of my face with his thumb, he led me to the bathroom, turning the shower on. Running back to his room, he got his softest pair of sweatpants and took off the hoodie he wore to bed, putting them on the counter. With one last hug, he left the room. I rinsed my stained clothing in the sink, sighing as I realized I had been wearing my favorite underwear.

I walked into the large shower, warm steamy water washing over me. The heat eased my cramps slightly, and I tried to clean up quickly, washing my hair faster than I usually do. A loud knock on the door resulted in me instinctively covering myself. Lloyd walked in, shielding his eyes. He placed a pair of underwear and a small package of pads on the counter before walking out. I called out a "thank you, baby" as he left.

I got dressed, breathing Lloyd's intoxicating scent in as I pulled his hoodie over my head. His clothes were way too big for me, but it made them even better. The strings on the sweatpants were tied as tight as possible, and still, they didn't fit.

I walked back into Lloyd's room to him changing the sheets. He made the bed almost perfectly. He laid down in bed after grabbing a plate full of pancakes off of the bedside table. They were so perfectly circular and golden brown that I immediately knew that Zane had made them.

As I ate my pancakes, I told Lloyd how exactly periods worked, laughing at his shocked expressions. I don't know how in the world I ended up with the prettiest, sweetest boy to ever exist. His perfectly freckled face and slightly pink cheeks in combination with his green eyes that reminded me of an emerald colored galaxy could not be better.

The rest of the day was spent watching movies and working on drawings as rain poured outside, as well as constant cuddles. The rain fell peacefully as we watched through the window. We fell asleep together early, his arm and leg thrown around me, trapping me in the sweetest of cages.
