buying you tampons (his pov)

Louis: "What the hell is a 'super flow'?" I muttered, staring at the shelves full of pastel boxes. Y/N sent me out for tampons. I wanted to say no, but seeing her doubled over on the couch made it literally impossible. As I stood there, someone else came down the aisle. "Oh my god, Louis Tomlinson?" a voice asked, and I turned. Her eyes went wide and she started crying. This was nothing new for me, but this time I could take advantage of it. "What's your name, babe?" I asked, and she gasped. "It's Jess" he voice cracked, and I smiled. "I need your help, Jess. Y/N needs, uh... tampons" I stuttered, scared to say the words. "Okay" Jess squeaked, and I had to laugh. I loved our fans, they did the cutest things. "Okay, so I need super tampons in Tampax" I said, and she walked over to the shelf. She picked up a green box, and handed them to me. "Thank you so much Jess" I said, getting a pen out of my pocket. "Want to write your twitter name on the box and I will follow you when I get home?" I offered, and her hand shook as she wrote it out. "Thanks again, love. Talk to you soon" I smiled. I walked away and heard Jess sigh behind me. Yet another reason to be thankful to be in a boy band.

Niall: I walked through the drugstore, staring at the floor. I didn't want anyone to recognize me or know what I was doing. I got to the section and finally looked up. "Tampons, tampons" I whispered. "Can I help you?" a man's voice asked behind me. "Probably not, mate" I turned and laughed. He smirked, and patted my back. "Alright, what do we need" he asked, and I sighed. The journey was sucking the manhood out of me and this poor employee. I just couldn't say no to Y/N when she asked, she looked so desperate. "I need Playtex Sport in a pink box" I whispered, and he smiled. "Tell you what, take this Playtex variety pack, it has every size" he said, handing me the box. "Man, your girlfriend must love you" I laughed, taking the box. "Working here has its perks, I will tell you that much. It's not so bad picking up tampons if you know exactly what you're going for" he laughed, and I nodded. He rang me through and I brought the box home to Y/N, who was really impressed.

Liam: "Alright, white box" I said, holding my phone in front of my face. Y/N felt like hell, sick with her period, and I offered to run out and grab her something. I didn't expect her to ask me for tampons, but when she did I agreed. I took a picture of the box and then I was off to the store. As I stood in the aisle, I relized the magnitude of buying these things. "Feminine pads? No. What are these?" I asked out loud as I shook the box. I turned down the aisle to make sure nobody was looking. "I don't think so, oh, here" I said, bending down to grab a box. "Perfect" I smiled, and made my way to the cash. Shopping as a celebrity was already awful, but shopping as a celebrity for your girlfriend's tampons was worse. I went to the shortest line and put the box down. "Are you Liam Payne?" the cashier asked. "Can we make this quick?" I whispered, and she nodded and bagged the box. "Can you sign this?" she asked, handing me a piece of receipt paper. I signed it quickly and handed her the money. "Keep the change" I whispered, rushing out of the store.

Zayn: I walked through the store with an empty tampon box in my hand, trying to ignore the snickers of laughter as I passed. It helped that I had my hood up, people couldn't tell exactly who I was. I stopped at the end of an aisle. "Feminine products" I whispered, and walked down. I held the box up and looked at all the boxes in front of me. "Y/N better appreciate this" I muttered, walking down the aisle. I finally found the box, and grabbed it, before rushing to the cash. "Not a young girl, not a young girl" I whispered, walking past cashiers. I found a cash where an older lady was working. "Hi, how are you sweetie pie" she asked as I walked up. "I'm good, thanks, how are you?" I replied, sliding her the box. "Well, thanks. Aren't you the sweetest. You know, I begged my husband for years to buy these for me. He never wanted to, would always complain. You will never know how much your girlfriend appreciates this" she said, sweetly, putting the box in two bags to make sure it was hidden. "Thanks a lot" I smiled, grabbing the bags and handing her money. "Next time, get her her favourite candy too" the lady said, smiling as she gave me my change. I walked away smiling, knowing that I was making Y/N happy.

Harry: "Chocolate, tea, tylenol... now tampons" I said, going through my list. I smiled as I remembered the first time Y/N sent me out for tampons. I was flustered, awkward and lost. Now, I did this almost every month. Y/N had really bad cramps, it killed me to see her in such bad pain. So, if it eased her pain to have me go out and get her her feminine items, then I would do it every time. As I got to the aisle, there was a group of four girls. I reached down to grab the box, and knocked one over. It slid and hit one of the girls. "Sorry about that" I said, picking it up. "Harry Styles?!" one of the girls asked, and I nodded and waved. "Oh my god are you here buying stuff for Y/N?" another girl asked. "Yeah, it's her time of month so I'm picking her up a few things" I smiled. "Aww!" the girls giggled, and I nodded. Sometimes I didn't know how to approach fans. I just felt awkward, like they put me on such a pedestal but I did the same for them. "Harry, do you love Y/N?" one of the girls asked. "Yes, absolutely" I smiled, and the girls awed again. "Can we get a picture?" they asked, and I nodded. I put down my basket and got in a picture. When I got home, I noticed one of the girls tweeted the picture and said I was 'the sweetest ever' for buying tampons for Y/N. She agreed whole heartedly.
