Masterlist | Links
Garrick Tavis
This man is observant. He would notice something was off before you even told him. He knows all the tells for when its your time of the month. They way you’d subtly wince if you moved too fast, the way you’d be slightly but constantly tense, how you’d be that little more on edge than normal.
Due to how observant his is that man is showing up with everything you need or could possibly need. He turns up at your door with heating pads, painkillers, water, plenty of snacks ranging from high-protein to something sweet because balance is key. He’d also turn up with your favourite blanket. Which happens to be his blanket.
If you need him to do a run for tampon or pad supplies he’d go get them without any hesitation or embarrassment. This man would even know which brands you prefer due to how observant he is.
He’d be whatever you needed him to be. You want your space? He gives it. You want him there but need some quiet time? He’d sit with you in silence with your legs draped over his lap. You want a distraction? He will talk to you, read to you, even throw in some dry sarcastic comments to make you laugh.
If you’re up to venturing outside your room and someone irritates you or stresses you out, he would not be subtle about shutting it down. One look from him and whoever it is is backing off fast. No one is messing with you while you’re on your period.
Xaden Riorson
Like Garrick, he knows before you even say anything to him. Noting the tension in your shoulders, how you wince when you sit. He locks onto it like a threat he needs to take care of. Your period pain is being treated the same way he treats any other threat. Unacceptable and needs to be annihilated.
Once he has you settled in your room he’s stalking off to get what you need. He comes back well prepared just like Garrick. He’s got the heating pad, painkillers and blankets. But unlike Garrick his food and drink consists of chocolate cake and some hot tea.
You’d try tell him to leave once he’s brought everything back. But as soon as he raises an eyebrow at you, you know he isn’t going anywhere. He is at your beck and call till this is over. If someone needs him. Simple. They don’t.
He sits nearby, probably reading or sleeping till you need him. But after watching him fall asleep with his neck at an awkward angle you convince him to join you in bed. Instead of lying next to you like you think he will, he scoops you up into his arms and puts you in his lap before draping the blanket over the two of you.
Being curled up in his lap, his arms around you is all the pain relief and distraction you need to get you through this. With the added bonus of knowing this man is actually getting some well deserved sleep and rest.
Bodhi Durran
He doesn’t notice immediately like the other two, but when he does he’s ready to go and not even phased by it.
Bodhi is the ultimate snack god when it comes to whatever craving you could have. He turns up ready to go. He’s got multiple types of chocolate, your favourite salty snack, fruit in an attempt to make the choice somewhat healthy and balanced. He’d probably also bring you a cupcake or cookie he attempted to decorate with a smiley face. Key word being attempted. Points for trying right? Least it made you laugh.
He already knows he probably wont be able to stay with you 24/7 like he would like to, knowing Xaden will probably call him away for something. So he brings you a stuffed emotional support animal to keep you company.
He’d attempt to keep the mood light to try distract you from any pain, but even then theres still concern behind the goofiness. If you’re doubled over with pain from the cramps he’d probably ask if he needs to challenge your uterus to a duel while he rubs your back.
When he realises he forgot a heat pack he’s quick to offer himself up as a heating pack. It’s also just an excuse for him to be close to you and cuddle up. But all you want is his body warmth in that moment. So its a win for both of you.
Aaric Graycastle
When you come to him and tell him you’re on your period, he wont flinch. He definitely already saw this coming. But he definitely is forming a mental checklist in his head of what he needs to do. If you hesitate on asking for anything he’s quick to shut it down with a “No, tell me exactly what you need. Be specific.”
Once you give him what you need he’s coming back with the best of the best. The most expensive brands and options he could get. Artisan chocolate from the local shop you mentioned once that you liked. A heating pad that looks more like a designer pillow than an actual heating pad. And the best wine he can find.
He’s unsure how to act at first, sitting down next to your bed so he doesn’t crowd your space but also wanting to be there. He wants to help, but doesn’t know the boundaries of what he can and can’t do just yet. But once you relax after a glass or two of the win, his softer side comes through. He reaches out, tucking the blanket around you, rubbing your back when you need to lie on your side.
He’s definitely taking notes for next time this happens though so he can be prepared and ready. Making note of any physical signs he can look out for so he can go get everything before you even ask. Also making note of what to do and when.
And just like Garrick, if anyone tried to irritate you or say something even remotely rude to you, he’s onto it. He’d look at them, giving him a well rehearsed smirk that would have that slightly sinister intent behind it. “Perhaps you should think twice before opening your mouth next time.”
Dain Aetos
The second he realises it’s your time of the month, he’s already shifting into the I know whats best mode. He’s already making decisions for you. Deciding if you’re good enough to train or not. Telling you its probably best to just stay in bed. He does care, he really does. But he doesn’t always ask what you want. He assumes.
Like the others he’d bring you the things you need. Well he thinks you need. Pain killers? Check. Heating pad? Check. Snacks? Yes, but the bland ones you didn’t ask for and are definitely not craving.
He does his best to be there for you. he really does. But the way your hormones keep changing and shifting how you feel really throws him around and makes him stressed. What works one time, doesn’t work the next and it leaves him a little flustered as it throws what he knows out the door.
If you sent him out for supplies, you’d almost laugh at how flustered and unsure he looks as he holds the bag of supplies like its a ticking time bomb. He wasn’t aware of how many options there were for period supplies, so he just panicked and grabbed what he could.
Dain likes to be needed and if you told him you’re fine and don’t need him, or he see’s you asking someone else for help, it hurts him. He just wants to take care of you. Do it his way. It’s a tough balance between accepting his care but also telling him what you want, but both eventually start to figure it out.
Ridoc Gamlyn
He’s definitely cracking a joke when he finds out or realises it’s your time of the month.
“So thats why you looked like you wanted to stab someone at breakfast today.” As soon as you glare at him he’s panicking. “Do I need to put myself on the sacrifice list, or are we going to have some chocolate therapy?”
Just like Bodhi he is prepared with all the snacks. Salty chips, chocolate bars (he’s definitely got some weird options here “just in case it’s the one you’re craving”) and a massive water bottle to keep you hydrated.
He’s definitely jumping into bed before you though. Sprawling out as he pats the spot next to him as if beckoning you over. “I’m hot and emotionally stable, the perfect heating pad” he’d tell you. As much as you want to roll your eyes at him, he isn’t wrong. As soon as you curl up next to him he’s pulling you closer, legs over his as he rubs your back.
He’s the perfect distraction for your pain though. He tells you all about his day and the things he saw or the latest prank he’s been scheming to use on Aotrom when he gets the chance. You don’t have a chance to even think about your pain with him around.
Sawyer Henrick
He isn’t the most knowledgeable when it comes to helping you with your period, but he’d want to learn. He’s asking if there is something he can do or shouldn’t be doing to help you out. He’d probably run to Rhi or Violet for help.
He’d come back loaded up with everything they’d given him and told him to do. He’s got a book from Violet to read to you, a blanket from his room cause the girls specifically told him it had to be one of his, a heating pad he borrowed from Rhi, and a lot of snacks from Ridoc who happened to walk by as the girls were helping him.
He’d sit next to you on the bed as you rest your head on his shoulder as he reads the book to you, smiling softly at you as you fall asleep on his shoulder. He’d not be far behind you once he puts the book down and rests his head atop yours.
Anytime you were in pain he’d also be feeling it. Any wince or hiss of pain he is also doing without realising it. Mainly because he feels bad for the pain you’re in. He’d be quick to find you some painkillers after that.
He’s the perfect remedy for your period pain despite thinking he’s failing at helping you. You’d reassure him he’s done everything right, which would probably lead to him being all flustered before muttering he needs to get you something before fleeing the room to calm his racing heart.
Brennan Sorrengail
He’s another one that wouldn’t be phased. You could tell him it felt like you were being stabbed with how bad the pain was and he wouldn’t even flinch. He’d nod and ask what you needed. Heat, meds, space, company? He will get what ever you need.
Out of all the boys he’s probably the most equipped with his signet and healer knowledge. He’s showing up at the perfect times with the right paid meds, the perfectly warmed heating pad, a tea to help with with cramping.
He wouldn’t make a big deal out of helping you. Your hungry? Favourite food is already on the table. Need a nice hot bath to help with the pain? It’s already drawn before you even look towards the bathroom. He’d even place his blanket in your lap before the words left your mouth. You try to thank him but the looks he gives you lets you know he doesn’t want thanks for anything he’s done.
At the end of the day he’s definitely curling up on the bed or couch with you as you snuggle into his side, his arms pulling you closer as you get some well deserved sleep.
