nico is just a huge teddy bear and i will die on that hill
Itโs around 3:30 by the time nico is back at his apartment. As he texting you, he canโt help but notice somethingโs off about the way youโre talking to him. Shorter replies, the lack of wanting to come over, even your lack of exclamation marks is setting off red flags in his mind.
This goes on for about an hour until you stop responding all together. Nico tries his best to wait patiently but his own worry and protectiveness gets the better of him.
Nico doesnโt waste another second before grabbing his keys and heading over to your place. He drives over in complete silence, his mind plagued with worry and the possibility of you being mad or upset with him. He ticks off everything he did yesterday, trying to see if it would have set you off or angered you. Pulling into your complex, he quickly parks his car and practically runs up to your apartment.
Knocking on the door, he waits for a moment, biting his lip anxiously when you donโt answer. Eventually, he grows too impatient and grabs the spare key under the rug and lets himself in.
โSchatzi?โ Nico calls gently, waiting to hear the familiar cadence of your voice, but frowns when it never comes. His heart begins to beat harder against his chest as his feet carry him quicker around your apartment.
Finally reaching your room, he quietly pushes the cracked door open, letting out a breath of relief as he finds you curled up in your blankets asleep. He moves carefully to sit beside you on the bed, using his hand to feel the back of your forehead. His eyebrows furrow when he feels that youโre not warm, which means youโre not sick. He looks around the room, noting the bottle of pain meds and the black cord that disappears under the blankets.
Nico smiles softly, realizing that you must be on your period. He gently strokes your hair, cooing gently as he knows you must be in pain if you didnโt want to come over to his apartment.
At his gentle touches, your eyes begin to flutter open.
โNico?โ You mumble out, voice still heavy with sleep.
โIโm right here, schatzi.โ He says gently, brushing some hair out of your face. โDo you need anything? Water? Chocolate? More pillows?โ
You shake your head, โMโ okay. When did you get here?โ
โJust a little bit ago,โ He says softly, โI was worried about you. You didnโt want to come over and then you stopped responding. I thought did something to upset you.โ
Shaking your head once more, you sit up fully with Nico helping support you. โNo, Iโm not upset with youโฆIโm justโโ
โOn your period.โ Nico smiles, kissing your temple. โI put two and two together when I got here.โ His face grows more serious, โYou donโt have to hide that from me, schatz. It doesnโt gross me out or turn me off. Youโre my girlfriend, I want to take care of you.โ
You smile softly at his words, โPositive?โ
Nico returns the smile, โPositive. Now, lay back down and Iโll get you what you need, okay?โ
Nodding, you settle back into the pillows, knowing you can surrender yourself Nico. Knowing that heโll cherish your body and well-being like the most precious thing in the world.
