bleeding every month was not what you signed up for when you were born a woman. once a month, you had painful cramps, headaches, and a really heavy flow.

you were used to it; it did happen every month. by now, your period was just another day.

but this particular day during your period was especially painful. you had horrible cramps everywhere and a really bad headache. you felt like you were dying.

luckily, you had your boyfriend austin. he already spoils you, so it’s no surprise that he wants to take care of you during your period.

you tried to deny his help, but he insisted.

so you’re currently lying on the bed you two share, practically on top of him. austin holds a heating pad to your lower stomach, trying to soothe your cramps.

some random romcom plays in the background. you’re more focused on how good his touch feels as you basically fall asleep.

austin seems to notice this because he places a kiss on top of your head.

“falling asleep, huh?” his voice is low and teasing.
