Period comfort with Owen!
The sharp, abdominal pain striked you early in the morning. Then you saw itโblood on the sheets.
It was your menstruation day today. Which put you in the bad mood right from the moment you remembered what day it was.
Your boyfriend was gone from the bed, even from the apartment you two shared. It's not a big surprise, since he's busy man, being a cyclist and model after all. But it was a big struggle to take the sheets off, put them in washing machine, change the sheets into new oneโall while struggling to breathe free the sharp pain.
Thankfully, you weren't out of pads, or it would have been worst day in entire month, if not a year.
You immediately collapsed on the couch after changing the sheets, not even finding an energy to take painkillers or heating pad.
This pain was unfamiliar, irregular. You always had period cramps, ever since you were 12 and they just grew and grew. But today, it was different. Your legs were numbing, nausea was hitting you stronger than ever and that sharp pain in your abdomen just made it worse.
So, even with regrets, you took your phone in your hands to text your boyfriend. He wasn't online. Of course, he wasn't. He probably was busy right now. You heard from Harry that Light Cavalry was going to meet another sponsor today, so it was important day.
Owen, despite not talking much about it, loves his crew dearly. Ever since he was a kid, he's been dreaming of creating his own cycling crew. Now, he takes his role as a leader seriously enough, even with his bit childish nature.
Since this was big day for him and his crew today, your fingers froze and hesitated above the screen. Should you really bother him because of this? What if the pain goes away?
You aren't even sure if you should tell him that you got your period. Because you absolutely know, he'll immediately ran back to home with snacks and chocolates.
So, with a defeating sigh, you put your phone on the coffee table, deciding to just sleep it off.
What could possibly go wrong?
Maybe that, after 3 hours nap, your phone starting blowing up, knocking you back to reality and disturbing your sleep. Your brain immediately processed same sharp pain in your abdomen, and also thousands of calls and messages from your boyfriend.
"How are you today? I'm sorry for not texting earlier๐ I've been bit busy since morning. I even left without telling you anything."
"Why aren't you answering? Are you mad at me? "
"Ok it's been 40 minutesโฆAre you alright? Why aren't you answering?"
"Please answer me when you can, babe. I'm worried."
"That's it, I'm coming back to home."
Almost panicked, you immediately typed out the words in your phone and sent it.
"Babe, I'm sorry. I was asleep."
Right when it got delivered, Owen immediately came back online and saw the text. But instead of texting, he called you, as if he needed to hear your voice to make sure that you were alright.
You tapped the green icon and answered his call. It sounded like he was outside, as the sounds of car and streets roared from the phone.
"Love, thank God you answered. I thought something happened." His tone dipped in the relief, but the fear was still here, his voice was still sounding nervous. His usual childlike tone gone, now he sounded seriousโbit too serious, in fact.
"I'm sorryโฆ" you whispered through the microphone, guilt starting to swell your heart.
"It's fine." He sighed. "I'm on my way right now."
Groan escaped your throat. Of course, he'd abandon his job just for the sake of seeing you. You always scolded this bad habit of yours. No matter how much you appreciate it, you could tell he was starting to slack off. "There's no need, really. I'm fine, Owen."
"Too late. I'm almost home." His voice rang in the phone, making your eyebrows furrow. "But, love, you have period today, right?"
"Huh? Uh, yeah I do." You sat up on the couch from surprise, ignoring the cramps that refused to leave you alone. "How do you know?"
"How else? I have your cycles tracked in my phone, of course!" He answered, his voice swelling with hint of pride, before disappearing completely. "I'm sorry I didn't call earlier. I'll bring you your favorite snacks okey? Do you have pads? I'll buy some more just in case."
You wanted to scold him, to remind him how important that sponsor was, to tell him to go back to his job. But instead, your heart got filled with warmth, bit of tears swelling in your eyes. Was it wrong to take his time like this? You still felt guilty, knowing he'd get scolded for leaving, but you also missed him. You wanted him here, on the couch, with you, in your arms. You needed him right now.
A choked sob escaped past your lips, alarming Owen on the phone. "Love? Are you crying? I'll be there in ten minutes, I swear! Please don't cry." He said, his breathing getting shallow and uneven from the hurried steps he was taking.
"Thank youโฆ" that was all you could say, all you could sob out on the phone, before you hang up.
You turned on your back, one hand hosted over your forehead as you shielded your eyes from the light. You couldn't make sense of your emotions right now, but it felt like you were sinking into the ocean of them, drowning in them. More sobs fell out of your throat, as tears started to pour down your cheeks.
You craved everything and nothing at the same time, your mind spiralling into thousand of thoughts, just for the sake of forgetting the pain.
But you couldn't. Each breath made it hurt even more, as if you were getting stabbed over and over.
It made you want to see Owen even more, hug him and just sleep in his arms, safe and sound.
Almost like he managed to feel your pain or your thoughts, Owen rushed in the house, his hands full of plastic bags, a cap pulled low on his eyes as his previous attempt to hide from fans.
He stepped in the living room as fast as he could, putting the bags on the table, his eyes already glued on your state.
"Baby, does it hurt that bad?" He kneeled down in front of you, his hand gently running through your hair. You put your arm away from your forehead, getting a good look at him, his uneven breathing, sweaty and worried expression.
Without saying anything, you just leaned into his touch, like it was the only thing that could help right now. Owen took the hint and threw his cap on the floor before pulling you into his arms, sitting on the couch while he sat you on his lap, his lips finding your forehead to press against.
"Why didn't you tell me sooner?" He sighed against your forehead, his heart clenching painfully at the sight of you in tears.
"I'm sorry" you sobbed pathetically, burying your face in his chest, curling up at him like a child.
Owen hesitated after your response, sensing now wasn't best time to question you. So, he pulled you closer to him instead, kissing your cheek, before his lips landed on your lips.
He backed away a bit, rubbing your back to offer as much comfort as possible. "It's fine. Don't apologize. Do you want to eat something? I bought your favorite chocolate and also chips."
You shook your head in disapproval, grunting in return. "I'm too sleepy."
"Alright then, sleep as much as you want, love." He smiled against your forehead, laying down on the couch so you'd sleep comfortably.
His arms wrapped around your waist, one of his hand gently squeezing your skin. The heat of his body made you even sleepier, calming down your thoughts.
Even if the pain was still here, at least you were in the arms of a man you loved. And somehow, that made everything so much better.
