✨Eddie taking care of you during that time of the month.✨

I feel like shit so I’m escaping into my own head about Eddie once more.

I feel like Eddie kinda knows about periods but doesn’t really know the gory details.

Becuase of that he asks you tons of questions about it but when he hears how much it hurts sometimes it’s game on.

After sometime together he’ll start to see the signs and prepare.

He would be embarrassed the first few times you send him for emergency pads but the more he sees you need it, he does it for you with no shame.

He would ask you time and time again if your okay.

The minute you groan he’s at your side.

“Do you need anything?” “Something sweet?”

“Okay! Don’t move! I’ll be right back!”

And he’ll drive off in a semi panic to the store

For sure he’ll be sure to have tons of movies to watch

He even lets you wear one of his oversized shirts to be comfy

He has to resist the urge to practice guitar or he goes and plays at one of his bandmates house so you can rest comfortably.

Leaves little notes for you incase you dose off telling you he loves you or where he went.

At night he keeps you warm with an arm wrapped around your waist.

Sometimes you hug his back instead and cling to him like koala, boom out like a light.

He would definetly give your period a nickname like The Crimson Dragon, or The Red Death.

Emotions are high and all over so sometimes he’ll catch you crying.

The hugs are tight and warm, followed by kisses and words of encourgement.

That being said, harmones are hight and all the over the place too so its a struggle to control the urges to get it on at this most inoppurtune time.

He thinks it’s cute when you whine about it.

Ultimately you cororce him into at least a blowy.

Once the period is over you can bet your ass he’s gonna be all over you.

Is it tooo obvious that I am a little starved for love and affection? Or is that the radical emotions inside me? Either way I hope it makes someone dream nice things for once. God knows I need some happy thoughts myself.

If no ones told you today, love ya. 💖

Things I never needed to know:

My roomate and I wear the same size pads, the only difference is she buys the 100% cotton version of the pads I wear. They look exactly the same except the wrapper on hers is a few shades lighter and has a small 100% cotton symbol on the wrapp. I only know this because I noticed pads in the trash that weren't mine she normally uses organic tampons and I just started mine td. I have the jumbo box, and the box is running out and the hormonal monster wanted to rage so I dug through our bathroom box and found a smaller number of hers. Now I feel both calmer and silly, but also glad I didn't ask.

Also I think we are syncing up

God why am I like this

Aunt Flow

Pairing: Steve Harrington x Reader

Word Count: 1,310

Warning: talk of blood, talk of periods🤷‍♀️.

The idea came to me while in the shower😳 Hope you like it!

It had become a habit of yours, to visit ‘Scoops Ahoy,’ almost every day or every other day. Your boyfriend Steve, and your friend Robin spent most of the Summer working at the ice cream parlor. Robin wasn’t too keen on the idea of you becoming friends at first, and now the two of you are as thick as thieves.

“Y/N!” An abnormally chipper voice sounded.

Giggling at her excitement you greeted her, “Hey Robin! Long time no see.”

She giggled back, “I know it’s only been, what? Six hours?”

Suddenly a masculine voice interupted, “something like that.”

“Hey, Steve.” You glanced at Steve, only to advert your eyes as he glanced at you.

“Hi, Y/N.”

Robin hopped onto the back counter, while you made your way to the back room.

“Psst...Y/N...” Robin hissed, “Do you have... any of those... ‘Feminine Hygene’ products...”

“Yeah, I do. What can I do ya for?” Chuckling at how Robin, was trying to keep it ‘Top Secret’. Taking your cross body bag off, setting it on the counter, and opened it for her to take whichever product she wanted.

After, her selection she stated, “I’ll be right back,” and bolted out of the parlor, almost knocking Dustin over on the way out.

“Geez, what’s her deal?” Dustin said while walking into the back room.

Opening your bag of pretzels from your purse, you nonchalantly replied, “she got her visit from Aunt Flow.” When neither guy responded you looked up at them. They both mirrored the others reaction. Widen eyes, and slacked jaws.

“What?” You asked innocently.

“You...You mean she got her....That..” Dustin stuttered in shock.

“Dustin!” Steve hissed.

Rolling your eyes at their responses, “Yeah, she did.”

“Do you... Do you get that?”

“Dustin!” Steve yelled in annoyance, “You can’t just go around, asking intimate questions about people!”

Dustin flipped Steve off.

Giggling at both boys, you said, “It’s alright Steve. He can’t help it if he’s curious.”

“I’m back,” Robin started, before getting confused, “What’d I miss?”

“Oh you know, our Scoops Ahoy health class!” Steve huffed in fake annoyance. In reality, he felt relieved that Dustin was asking such personal questions, because he hadn’t paid much attention in he much attention in the health, class he had taken at Hawkins High. None of his past girlfriends, ever talked about their period, because it’s considered such a taboo thing to happen. He wanted to be there for his loved ones during that time of the month, and he couldn’t figure out how. But now he’s hoping that he can learn something from you.

“Y/N!”

“Yes, Robin?” your tone was full of innocence, hoping she wouldn’t be mad at you.

“Care to explain?”

“I was getting there, until I was interrupted,” you replied shrugging, “It’s not my fault the kid has questions about Aunt Flow. I’m just trying to help educate the young.”

“Why do you call it Aunt Flow?”

“Do you want to answer that, or should I?” Slightly turning to Robin who was back at her previous stop, sitting on top of the front counter. You offered her a pretzel from your bag of pretzels, which she so graciously accepted.

“I got this one, Y/N/N. Well it’s actually called a lot of different things. Aunt Flow, Shark Week, Time of the Month, Ect. You’ll eventually learn about that in health class.” She turned to glare at Steve, “If you pay attention, unlike dingus here.”

“You mean to tell me, every female out there bleeds once a month? How long does it last?”

“Seven days.”

“Every month?”

You and Robin both replied in unison, “Every month.”

Both Dustin and Steve, exchanged dumbfounded looks, at the table they were sitting at in the backroom.

“Speaking of, do you have any aspirin?”

“I have the works. Do you want Midol?”

“Yes, please. Before either, of you boys even think about talking to me, don’t.” Robin snapped half joking, and half not joking, “I’m only talking to, Y/N. She understands the pain.” 

“Okay, hypothetical here,” Steve started, “How would a loving boyfriend, comfort his girlfriend then?”

You and Robin exchanged confused glances, “Well, there’s a lot of different ways. Robin, would you like to take this one? I’m starving.”

“You were literally just eating pretzels.”

“Yeah...So?” Giving her a confused look, “What’re you craving I’ll pick it up before I come back.”

“See Dingus, that’s why Y/N’s my favorite.”

“I didn’t even say anything!” Steve exclaimed confused.

“You didn’t have to. Hmm... Pizza! Oh wait! What about hot dogs? No, I know Chinese!”

“You have until I step foot out of the store, to make up your mind, after that it’s a done deal.” You made your way over to Steve, wrapping your arms around his shoulders, placing kisses on his cheek and his neck. 

“I’ll be back in a few! Robin, can you at least try not to kill the boys until I get back?”

“No promises!”

“So, Steve. You have it bad for my Sister, don’t cha?”

“Shut Up, Henderson.”

“Whatever.” 

“So, back to what I was about to say.” Robin piped up, “You can bring her, her favorite foods, chocolate, flowers, I think the most important thing, is to just give her your understanding and emotional support.”

Steve had a lot to think about the rest of the day.

A week had barely gone by, before Aunt Flow, paid you a visit too. It wasn’t the worst cramps you’ve had, but they were definitely, painful enough to make you stay in bed. Peeking, at the clock it said 6:30am. Your day was already off to a rough start. Steve decided that he was going, to stop by your house, since you hadn’t been answering his called. He had begun to worry. Using the spare key, you had given him, he opened the front door, and immediately took off his shoes.

“Steve?” A groggy voice asked.

“Hey, Buddy. Have you seen your sister?”

“No, it’s not even seven am, dude.”

“Right. I forgot.”

Steve quietly, made his way up the stairs, to your room. Opening the door, he was met with the all too familiar sight. You were curled up in a ball, which meant Aunt Flow, decided to visit. After the conversation, over a week ago, Steve felt like he could be of more use now, that he knew how to help more. He went into the hallway closet, pulling out a heating pad you had, and made his way back to your room. 

Turning it on, Steve got under the blankets with you, and put the heating pad on your stomach.

“Steve?”

“Yeah, baby?”

“I would ask what you were doing here, but at this point I don’t care.” you whined, in pain.

“Here take this.”

“Is this my Midol?”

“Yeah, you and Robin really taught me a lot, I want to put it to good use.”

Steve had cuddled up to you from behind, pulling you close to him, while placing his hand on your stomach and gently trying to help alleviate some of the pain you were feeling, by rubbing in circles.

“Steve....”

“Whenever you feel up to it, we can go to the movie store if you want, and rent some of your favorite ones.”

“Thank you, Steve.” Turning to face him a little you said something he never expected, “Just so you know, in my book you make a damn good boyfriend too.”

Steve smiled lovingly, at you before placing a gentle kiss on your lips, not paying attention to the door creaking open.

“Y/N?”

Breaking the kiss you responded, “Yeah Dusty?”

“Can I come cuddle with you?”

“Always.”

It was only a matter of seconds before, there was three of you laying in your bed. It brought you joy, that the two most important men in your life, were both in your room giving you their support.

Being a girl fucking sucks

[lady-une]

I want a boyfriend who will upon hearing of me being on the first day of my shark week will come to me with a concerned look on his face.

Him: babe are you ok? Do you need anything? How about some chocolate? A bottle of your favorite wine? Do you want some Superman ice cream? The first born of your mortal enemy? Some steak? How about some fried chicken? A back rub? Do you need more midol? How about I roll you up into a blanket sushi and cuddle you?
