Being in a team with only men in Task Force 141 you felt comfortable, but when the 'days' that you always had a problem with came, you felt.. Very uncomfortable, and embarrassed.

You thought that a man would never be able to understand this, that he would either laugh at it or just think you were overreacting.

And now being in a briefing with your team, you kept checking to make sure no one was watching you as you lightly squeezed your stomach with your hands, and maybe breathing a little heavily, trying to cover it up from the rest of the team.

"Tomorrow we have to be ready first thing in the morning, Makarov was supposedly seen in the underground tunnels a few thousand kilometers from here. We have to fly a bit by helicopter so it will take a while, so we will have to wake up a little earlier than usual." - Adds Price, focused and serious, running his finger over the map.

Ghost seemed to listen to what the commander was saying, but he also imperceptibly looked at you. He frowned, noticing that something was wrong with you. He wasn't stupid, he knew that you have period.. He himself had a girlfriend once, who died a year ago. He guessed that you were enduring the same pain, he looked at the team, hoping that they didn't see anything, when suddenly he pulled you to him quickly, but not close enough to not be suspicious.

Then he wrapped his hand around your lower abdomen and began to lightly massage his fingers in the place where he definitely knew where it hurt. Maybe you didn't like each other, and you didn't talk much, he wanted to help you, maybe it was stupid but your behavior reminded him of his old love, which made him feel bad. He shouldn't compare you to her, but still, he couldn't help himself.

"Shh, be quiet." - He spoke quietly in your ear, seeing how you squirmed under him. - "Don't squirm like you don't want anyone to notice.." - He mumbled awkwardly, and irritated, continuing to massage your lower abdomen with his fingers, feeling how tense you were. - "Just try to relax.."
