How They Handle "That time of the month" [TF2 x S/O]
What if the merc has a S/O who has periods?
**This is written with the context that all the mercenaries are cisgendered males (except Pyro who is always a they/them in my writing). Reader is still gender neutral. <3**
Scout: Poor boy has 8 brothers, not a uterus in sight (most likely). He is terrified when he finds you crouched in pain for the first time. He thinks you're dying until you explain the situation - to which he still thinks you're dying. After a good talk between you, Scout, and Medic, he calms tf down and does his best to take care of you. Expect a butt-ton of chocolate (or whatever you crave) and he will not hesitate to literally run to a corner store if you are out of pads/tampons/cups.
Soldier: Absolutely no clue how to handle you. When he sees you in pain, he tells you to be strong, but when you explain why you're in pain he just stares at you like a deer in the headlights. He will do his best to be supportive, but he never fully understands the situation. If you blatantly tell him "my body wants me pregnant" he will misinterpret this and strip right in front of you. Don't worry, he will put his pants back on when you explain that is not what you meant. He'll be more confused by the end of this, but he'll eventually catch on - hopefully.
Pyro: Sweetbean will have a freak out when they see you're in pain, but they know just what to do before even being told! They will get you a ton of sweets from their "not-so-secret" stash and cuddle you to keep your body relaxed. Lots of soft and warm things will be given to you and they will make a bed purely made out of pillows and plush for you to sleep on. Once a month you will have an extra-on-guard support Pyro!
Demoman: He's got a blind mother, he knows what he must do the moment he sees you in that specific kinda pain. He'll make sure you're stocked up on your craving foods, pads/tampons/cups, and that first day he sees you in pain he will prepare a bath for you chalk full of bath bombs (lol). He may drink just a wee bit more though during that time, especially if your period is the kind that causes mood swings (like mine).
Heavy: Three sisters and a mum, 'nough said. He knows what to do with you and takes good care of you. You're not allowed to use your legs/wheel chair until your period is over, he will carry you everywhere. He will also cook meals he knows his sisters appreciated during their time, lots of Russian soups and sweets.
Engineer: He's not inexperienced with periods, and he knows that each person deals with it differently. When your first one with him starts, he will take ample mental notes to know what to do for next time. Lots of verbal and physical comfort, he'll takes a page out of Pyro's book and prepares a comfy bed with lots of pillows and a teddy roosebelt (ofc). He is absolutely the kind of man who writes on the calendar to make sure he knows when you're due so he can be prepared with your craving foods and sundries.
Medic: Also not inexperienced with periods. Though he finds them to be so fascinating. A little too fascinating. He will observe your various behaviours and physical responses - but eventually he'll realize that it would be nice to comfort you. He already has ample stock of sundries for you, and insists that chocolate won't help so he won't buy any - except maybe a bit of swiss chocolate. He will know when you're on your period before you do - even your first one with him.
Sniper: mundee.exe has stopped working. Poor boy has no clue what to do, arguably harder to teach than Scout. When it finally sinks in, he at first is a little distant, worried about making a mistake and hindering you rather than helping you. Eventually he'll figure it out and will do a 360 and be protective of you; making sure you're always as comfortable as you can be.
Spy: Absolutely knows exactly what to do. He's got everything set for you from sundries, to chocolates, to candles of your favourite fragrance. He will make sure to prepare a bath on the first day every time and won't be afraid to offer you a massage - in fact he'll do it frequently. He just wants to make sure his petit(e) is taken care of.
