"What are you on your period?" Teach looked at you with annoyance from your recently bitter attitude and thin patience.
"No, So stop fucking pestering me with stupid ass shit!" you stood up from the table you all had been sitting around talking. "You need to learn to stop being a jerk for no goddamn reason."
You didnt understand why you, specifically. but Teach seemed to enjoy getting on your nerves very often. typically making uncomfortable or ignorant remarks, often they were shut down by Marco, Ace, and really anyone nearby but he just wouldn't quit in the past few days and it Irritated you.
"You need to learn to calm down, brat." His lips curled as he realized he was making you more furious by the moment. Your eye twitched with a deep scowl on your face. "The fuck-" you were cut off by Aces hand infront of you.
"Teach, quit it." Ace retorted, giving him a look which only caused the mans expression to grow.
"Tch." you clicked your tongue before turning on your heel and storming out.
you heard everyones voice going back and forth along with Teach's annoying laughter.
You knew Pop's would scold him later.. but that did noting to ease your sour mood. shit. you knew everyone here typically could tell when you were on your period. but it was humiliating for someone to call it out.
you noticed that Teach loved to bother you even more around your time of them month.. but maybe you really were just being dramatic..?
Letting out a sigh, You stopped in your tracks, realizing you were outside the infirmary. pushing the door open, you peeked in looking for your boyfriend.
"Marco?" you called out, receiving no response, then shuffled in and fell onto the tiny bed. Youre aware that Marco was usually pretty occupied, so you chose to wait for him. As you closed your eyes, you lost sense of time and dozed off
You stirred from the sound of the door opening. choosing to curl into your and ignore it. your arms hugged yourself, naturally trying to ease the pain of your cramps in your sleep.
it wasnt till you felt a warm hand on your forehead, did you open your eyes. "Marco..?"
You glance upward, noticing his hazy shape sharpen as your tired eyes adjusted. "Having a nap? were you waiting on me-yoi?"
Sitting up, you let out a yawn. "Where were you?"
"Talking to pops... Ace told me what happened, want to talk about it?" He raised a brow to you as he turned to place something on the desk.
"No.. im just..-" You trailed off, refusing to look at him.
"I know (y/n)-yoi" He replied.
"Am i.. petulant?" You had a moody aura to you, unable to hide your hormonal issues. "Is that something Teach said?" Marco questioned
"Sort of.. I dont get what his issue is. He doesn't just start things with anyone else?" Crossing your leg over the other, you started fiddling with your hands in your lap.
"I think he is just jealous of the favouritism you receive from pops and everyone else-yoi" He shrugged, grabbing some medicine before handing it to you.
You looked up at him slightly confused, to which he smiled. "For your cramps."
You made a small 'oh' sound before taking it. "You could tell?" With a face of disgust, you swallowed.
"Im your partner and your doctor, of course I know (y/n)-yoi" You looked up at him as he spoke, uncrossing your legs and holding your arms out so he could come closer.
Marco looked at you with a soft expression befote stepping closer and allowing you to wrap your arms around him. He could definitely tell that you felt clingy, seeing as it was pretty natural for you to get that way more than usual on your period.
"How much work do you have?" You mumbled into his chest. His warm hands gently rubbing your back.
"I have some things i need to fill out firstto keep track if inventory.. but it shoukdnt take long. what did you have in mind-yoi?" his voice was quiet and you can feel his chest vibrate as he spoke.
looking up, your chin now resting on his chest. "cuddle with me?" you had a pouting look to you which caused Marco to chuckle.
"Of course-yoi." Marco picked you up which caused some shock. you had originally thought he was just going to climb into the bed with you but to your surpised, he sat at his desk with you in his lap, facing him.
"theres no way this will be comfortable for you over time.." you avoided his gaze, your face now supporting a light flush.
"It's fine. I'll just move us after-yoi." his head tilted, trying to meet your feeling gaze. "If you say so.." you muttered, looking back at him.
your eyes shifted down to his lips for a quick second before looking back into his eyes which only cause him to grind. "Just relax-yoi." Marcos hand rubbed your lower back as he planted a small kiss on your lips as to which you happily returned.
"Thank you.." your voice was quiet, as if you were afraid to be heard. "I love you, Marco." your arms wrapped around his shoulders, nuzzling his neck.
"I love you too, (y/n)-yoi"
his hand continued to rub your lower back, and the other was occupied with a pen as you slowly drifted to sleep to the sound of writing and your boyfriends quiet breaths.
