Summary: Steve Roger's girlfriend has endometriosis and gets her period
Warnings: chronic pain, reader has endometriosis which causes extremely painful periods, reader gets her period, throwing up, crying, little suggestive but not really (Y/N thinks Steve is gonna do something sexual for a second, but he doesn't)
The sound of Y/N’s crying greets Steve as soon as he opens the door. He drops his back and dashing up the stairs, pushing the bedroom door open.
“Baby, what’s wrong? What happened?” Steve asks.
Y/N is laying on the bed, on top of a pillow with one heating pad on her stomach and another on her back. Her legs are tucked under her; calves flush with her thighs.A small trash can sits next to her head.
“I-It hurts so bad,” Y/N sobs, pressing her face into the pillow, “Feels l-like I’m dying,”
Dread fills Steve, but he realizes what happened. He gently lowers himself on the bed next to her, pulling Y/N’s hair out of her face and tying it up.
“Did you get your period, honey?” he asks gently.
Y/N nods weakly, jolting as pain shoots through her.
“I’m so sorry, baby, I know it hurts. Did you take your meds already?”
Y/N nods again, sniffling.
Steve places a hand on y/n’s shoulder blades, causing her to flinch before melting into his touch. He rubs light circles in place.
“What can I get for you?”
“I…I don't feel so good,” Y/N whimpers before lunging forward, barely grabbing the trash can before she throws up into it.
“Oh baby,” Steve murmurs, “It’s okay, I’m here, just get it all out,”
Steve wipes the tears from her cheeks as Y/N heaves into the trash can. Her face is sticky and hot
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry,” Y/N chokes out between heaves.
“It’s okay, princess, there’s nothing to apologize for. I got you,” he soothes.
When Y/N finally finishes emptying the contacts of her stomach into the trash can, she collapses back against the pillows. Sharp pain shoots through her lower stomach, back, legs, and ribcage. She sniffles, shifting to try and ease the pain.
“I’m so sorry you aren’t feeling, well, baby. What can I get for you? I’m here,”
“Ca-can you get me a cold w-w-wash cloth?” Y/N stutters.
“Of course, honey. I’ll be right back,” Steve voices, rubbing her back for more time before standing up. He grabs the trash can, “I’ll clean this up. Just holler or bang on the wall if you need me,”
Y/N nods into the pillow. Steve hurries into the bathroom, emptying the trash can into the toilet and cleaning it out. He grabs 2 small towels and wets them with cool water, wringing them out.
“Steve?” he hears Y/N whimpers.
“I’m coming, baby!”
Steve hurries back into the bedroom, setting the trash can back down next to her head.
“I’m right here,” he soothes, using one of the towels to wipe her sweat-slicked face and lips clean. He takes the other one and presses it to her forehead. Y/N lets out a sigh of relief at the cool sensation. She reaches and grabs Steve’s hand, lacing their fingers together and squeezing tightly.
Y/N jolts forward again, whimpering into the pillow. Steve continues rubbing gently circles on her back.
“Can I try something, baby? See if it helps you feel better?” Steve voices.
“Uh huh,” Y/N nods softly, looking over at him.
Her eyes are swollen and pink from crying, and slightly glazed over. Steve pulls his shirt off and her eyes go wide.
“No no no no, not that, no that’s the worst thing we could do right now, no-” Y/N cries.
“Shhh, shh, it’s okay, baby, I’m not gonna do anything! It’s okay, darling, take a deep breath,” Steve soothes, gently slipping her hands under her arms and shifting her up.
Y/N starts to protest, but Steve quickly pushes the pillows from under her and takes their places. He eases her down over her so her heating pad is sandwiched between them and her knees are on either side of him. She lets out a content sound and sinks into him, wrapping her arms around his neck.
Steve strokes Y/N’s hair with one hand, using the other to rub up and down her back.

You turn the key that unlock the mechanism of your apartment door. You push the door by using your elbow. “Cayde, I’m home!” You were carrying a few boxes that you received from Devrim and Hawthorne.
“A bit busy!” He shouted. “Uh, in a minute! Don’t enter the kitchen!”
Okay, this cause you to raise a few questions. “What are you up to?” That question came up out from your mouth while the others were formed in your mind, questioning your boyfriend and his antics. His Ghost flew towards you and it smelled funny.
“Don’t speak!” Cayde shouted to his Ghost. Not you, studying the reaction of said Ghost who decided to give you a message through morse code.
“Oh... I see, I see.” You gave the Ghost a rubbed on its lower shell, making it to chirp happily.
“I hear chirping! Did you bribe my Ghost?!”
“No I didn’t!” You lied. Well, it gave you the message so both of you? Lied? Maybe? Who knows?
Letting out a sigh as you place the boxes on the floor, you could shout back but your nose had detect something foul in the air. “Are you burning something?!”
“That’s my love that you are smelling!”
Okay, that’s it. You make your way to the kitchen and what horrors you is that the stove is burnt and Cayde is wielding his Golden Gun. His super disappears the moment you step in the kitchen.
“Uh, surprise?” He jokingly said, adding a few nervous or awkward laughters to back him up in this situation.
“Did you use your Golden Gun to speed up the cooking?”
He was hesitant to answer but under your gaze, he nodded meekly and said, “Yes.” Blue optics then darted to his Ghost. “Did he tell you about it?”
“Obviously.”
Cayde crossed his arms, staring at the little Light. “Ghost, buddy, pal, why would you betray me? I thought we were best buds!”
His Ghost hide behind your head and shyly peek out. “You are terrible in cooking.” It confessed to him.
Cayde gasped, dramatically, of course. “How dare you, Ghost?!”
This was getting nowhere for you. Stopping this banter, you asked him. “What did you burn?” Then you added. “This time?”
“....your ramen soup..”
“What?! How?!” You exclaimed, your mind had started to think on how he burn the soup. It was impossible to burn one! Unless, he overcook it or he was impatient or maybe he was hangry — hungry and angry.
“I’m sorry! I’m sorry!” He went down on his knees, hands clasping together as his optics look at you with mercy. “I was hungry and, and, I wanted to serve you ramen for a surprise dinner!”
You sighed, again. “Cayde.”
“Yes, the apple of my eye, my Queen of Hearts, my lucky charm, my happiness?”
“We’re having dinner with Banshee, Shiro and Amanda, remember?”
There was silence.
Until he broke it.
With his voice.
“OH YEAH! I totally remember it.”
“He didn’t.” His Ghost argued back. “He forgot about it until you told him.”
Cayde glare at his Ghost. It quickly hides once more.
“Okay, enough is enough.” You stopped the both of them from having another witty banter. “Cayde, change your clothes. You smell like burnt rubber.”
“Yes, ma’am!” He gave you a salute and a wink as he walk towards you.
You rolled your eyes at him before heading to the couch. To wait for him to change into his civilian clothes.
“What a man.” You whispered to yourself. Colonel clucked in an agreement. “You said it, sister.”
