What was worse than having your period? Period cramps.

It feels like your insides are being ripped out of your body mercilessly, the pills only calming the pain for a few hours if you were lucky — that's how Leon feels right now.

He was supposed to go to work, but called in sick when he couldn't even stand from the bed. He didn't exactly tell his situation, only that he wasn't feeling well to go to work; even though his coworkers already had their suspicions since he always missed work at least two days a month, but decided not to talk about it out loud to not make him uncomfortable.

Rolling onto bed for the 10th time that day, the blond grunts and holds his stomach, the painkillers weren't doing a great job so far. His period was to be expected, three days ago he ended up crying when you two went out and saw a stray dog asking for pets, and also sobbed a little when you didn't add a heart emoji to your text when wishing him good luck at work that day..

"Ugh, can't they leave me alone?" he mumbled to himself, fixing the heating pad as he sighed, his eyes fluttering closed for a moment before he heard the sound of footsteps approaching and he opened them to see his partner.

Leon raised his head when he saw you carrying a cup of hot tea and a bag full of his favourite snacks — with shiny eyes, a wide smile tugged at his lips. "You bought all of this for me?" Looking up at you, his eyes quickly watered.. here we go again.
