You and Leon have been distant lately; at least more than usual. You’re engaged for Christ’s sake, yet it seems like the man has a better relationship with work than you.

He’s been away on a simple field mission for a few days now, nothing too out of the ordinary.

Of course, it was around that time of the month, and as usual you had no one to coddle you. It used to be a routine; you’d lie down next to him and talk about random things to keep your mind off the pain.

But, that’s definitely not happening now.

You curl up further on the couch just as the front door open and the sound of keys getting placed onto the counter is heard. Normally, you’d go to greet him, but you’re honestly in too much pain to even fathom the idea of getting up.
