Dont Cry Over Spilled Nectar!

As soon as you woke up from an oddly dreamless sleep, you immediately groaned.

You knew what this feeling meant.

"It's that time of the month again," you mumbled sleepily.

No wonder Gaea didn't bother you with nightmares last night; she must've known you would be plagued enough by this coming on and decided to laugh at that instead of at you waking up in terror from a bad dream.

You carefully got out of bed and waddled over to the bathroom. Your half sisters instantly knew what was up and let you into the bathroom, handing you new clothes, undies, and pads.

Everything took you five times as long to do.

Everything ached, you didn't feel so hungry, and your uterus felt like it was constantly running itself over with a barbed wire covered lawn mower.

You eventually finished preparing yourself for the gruesome four or five days ahead of you, and eased yourself onto a bench at the (g/p) table, holding your plate of food.

~time skip to after lunch~

You had decided not to eat anything for lunch. Your stomach was killing you with its constant cramps and sharp pains. You simply lay in your bunk, hoping you could spend the first day of your period alone.

As usual, you jinxed yourself by wishing too hard. The universe must have decided to plague you with people.

"(Y/n)?" a voice called. Leo.

You wanted to see him, but at the same time you really didn't.

"What," you grumbled.

Leo walked over to your bedside, but you were laying face towards the wall.

"(Y/n), what's up with you? You've been acting weird and distant all day, and you didn't even show up for lunch." He had a hint of worry in his voice, which almost made you feel bad for snapping at him, but the hormones took over.

"Yeah well, you can save yourself the worry by minding your own business!"

Surprisingly, he didn't seem upset at your tone. "(Y/n)," he said calmly, his voice soothing your frayed nerves. "What's bugging you, sweetheart?"

You sat up, curling up and resting your chin on your knees. "Leo, I'm sorry I yelled at you. And avoided you for a while."

Leo sat down beside you on your bed and took your hand. "It's okay," he said softly. "Your emotions are taking over right now." He took your gentle hand in his own dirty, oil streaked one. "You wanna tell me what's going on?" he pried carefully.

"Okay. But don't be grossed out, alright?"

"Of course."

You took a deep breath. "I'm on my period. My hormones are going crazy, my gut is killing me, and my whole body aches. I lose my appetite sometimes too, so I tend to lose weight." Your eyes welled up with tears, and Leo pulled you into a hug. He slowly rocked the two of you back and forth, whilst rubbing your back, which actually helped with the cramps.

"I'm just so miserable," you cried. "And I've been mean to you all day, and now you hate me, and-"

Leo cut you off. "Woah woah, slow down (y/n). I don't hate you. I could never hate you. I love you more than anything. Even my toolbelt."

You smirked through your tears. "That's a lotta love, babe."

He gave you his signature grin. "I know."

So for the rest of that day, and the next four, you and Leo cuddled as long as you could go without having to visit the restroom, and of course, shared kisses. 😉
