Dracula's POV:

The sun was just slowly creeping up in the horizon, the sky a lilac shade with orange and ice blue as some birds began their dawn chorus. I blinked a few times and it was then, as I inhaled I smelt it. That familiar metallic, often coppery smell, but to me it was sweet and intoxicating. The scent of blood was in the air and this time it just sweet, no it was almost ambrosial like a creamy dessert.

My eyes darkened, growling softly and I turned over to look at Y/N. She was still sleeping but I seen her face twist a bit, like she was in pain or some discomfort. As she did, I noticed the smell of blood coming from her and it was stronger.

Y/N was bleeding! Suddenly, I was more alert now and shaking the hunger from my thoughts I sat up, looking over her. I shook her gently, calling her name softly as I tried to rouse her from her sleep.

End Of POV.

You awoke to the sounds of someone calling your name softly and gently shaking you from your sleep.

"Y/N? Y/N. Y/N, Y/N wake up please" The voice of your vampire boyfriend called softly. You mumble a weak "what?" and try to turn over but what your boyfriend says stops you.

"You're bleeding Y/N" Spoke Dracula, concern in his voice. Your eyes shot open and it's then you registered the dull pain in your abdomen and you let out a sharp hiss at that. Dracula gently turned you back over to him and he looked you over.

"Y/N, please tell me where are you hurt?" Asked Dracula. You looked up at his concerned face and gave a soft small smile despite the pain.

"It's my time of the month" You Replied and Dracula seemed to register what was really happening. You were menstruating. Dracula was relieved that you weren't mortally wounded, but still saw you were in obvious discomfort.

"You are in pain though my dear" Said Dracula softly.

"Just tell me how I may help with easing the pain and making you feel more comfortable" Continued Dracula as he helped you sit up in bed. You rubbed your eyes and yawned.

"What time is it?" You Asked.

"It's very early my dear, the sun is only just rising" Dracula Replied as he rubbed your back. You yawned and gave a small stretch before the dull pain began to grow and hurt a little more. You groaned at that.

"Why don't you take a nice hot bath? Or perhaps a shower? I'll freshen up the bed and bedroom for you" Suggested Dracula. You tried to protest at just getting a pad/tampon but Dracula shook his head.

"No. The shower will at least help relax you and the heat will hopefully help with the pain, my sweet. I'll get out some fresh pyjamas and put them in the dryer for a bit so they're nice and warm when you get out and put them on" Reassured Dracula. You smiled at him and made your way to the bathroom. You decided on a bath, you had a feeling this monthly will be a major b*tch and you wanted to just lay back in the hot water for a good relaxing soak. You turned on the taps and was reaching for your body wash when Dracula appeared.

"Need some help?" He Asked, smiling softly. You smiled.

"Decided on a bath. I have a feeling this monthly won't be easy" You Said. Dracula nodded at that, understandably. You see him reach for your bath bombs and favourite scented lotion, along with a few of your Wiccan crystals. You watched as he placed the crystals around the edges of the tub before picking out a bath bomb and throwing it into the water.

You both watched as the water bubbled and turned a beautiful, pastel colour and the room filled with the smell of your favourite scent. Dracula helped you undress and you sank into the scented waters of the tub. You let out a contented sigh and turned to Dracula, smiling happily.

"Take your time and relax, my love. If you need anything just shout okay?" Dracula smiled.

"I will sweetie" You promised and with a kiss to your hand, Dracula got up and walked back into the bedroom to freshen it up.

He was changing the sheets and he saw a stain on the sheets. Though the sight of blood was tempting, he growled and shook his head. Now was not the time, his beloved was hurting and she needed him. He changed the sheets and duvet, before grabbing a pair of soft, clean pyjamas for Y/N and putting them in the dryer for a bit to warm them up. Dracula lit two scented candles and when the dryer was done, got the pjs and placed them on the bed. He also got out your glow-in-the-dark Hello Kitty pillow and Barnet the Orange Bat Squishmallow.

You came out of your bath, smelling of coconut and your favourite bath bomb scent and wrapped in a large fluffy towel. Your eyes widened as you took in the room.

Your duvet was changed to your new Hello Kitty glow-in-the-dark duvet cover and pillows, sheets changed and your favourite scented candles lit.

You smiled when you saw your squishmallow and glow-in-the-dark Hello Kitty pillow on the bed. You got the pjs and felt how soft and warm they were.

"Did you have a lovely bath, my dear?" Asked Dracula.

"Yes I did, thank you and thank you again for what you've done with the bedroom, it means a lot Dracula" You Smiled. Dracula chuckled softly.

"Anything to help my darling feel more comfortable" Said Dracula as he pressed a kiss to your forehead. You changed and put on a fresh pad/tampon.

You felt much better now that you were clean and in fresh pyjamas and bedsheets. You climbed into bed as Dracula took a wash himself, reappearing and dressing in a black hoodie with Vincent Van Gogh's "Starry Night" print on the back. It was a hoodie you gave him last month after going to a Van Gogh Art Exhibition. It was your 5th date and you two enjoyed yourselves.

Dracula joined you in bed and he opened his arms out, inviting you to a cuddle. You happily took the invitation and cuddled up with him. He embraced you warmly and held you there as he switched on the TV.

"What do you want to watch?" Inquired Dracula as he held you close. You looked up at him and smiled.

"We still have to finish that Penny Dreadful season 2" You Recalled, remembering where you two last left off in the series. Dracula nodded and you two lay cuddled up together, wrapped in his arms as you cuddled Barnet. He sometimes ran his fingers through your hair as you both continued watching the show.

"Helen McCrory is a fine actress in this show, she plays her character perfectly" Remarked Dracula. You gave a hum of approval at that, smiling. You rested your head on his chest, basking in this perfect bliss with Dracula.

Halfway through the show and it was fully morning. Dracula paused the show, causing you to frown.

"Hey, it was getting really good!" You Whined. Dracula let out a small laugh at your protest.

"It's fully morning and breakfast is now a must" Reasoned Dracula. You pouted at him but your stomach gave you away with a growl and Dracula gave a small snigger at that.

"Seems you agree with me on breakfast" Chuckled Dracula sending you a smirk. You gave a giggle at that and grinned.

Breakfast came and went, soon you two rejoined in the bed and continued watching Penny Dreadful Season 2. Suddenly the cramps returned with a vengeance and you groaned, curling yourself into a ball as pain hammered your insides. Dracula paused the show and turned to you, worry on his face.

"The cramps are back, owww! It's really bad this time.....it hurts" You Cried. The pain was making you feel sick and your eyes welled up with tears.

"Tell me what to do, how can I help you?" Asked Dracula.

"Usually a hot bottle helps.....and some painkillers" You Whimpered tearfully, clutching Barnet more tightly.

"I'll be right back" Dracula Promised before going downstairs. He wasn't gone too long and soon he returned with some painkillers and a hot water bottle in the shape of your favourite cartoon character.

"Here. I'll get you some juice to wash the painkillers down with" Said Dracula making his way out the bedroom door.

"Orange juice" You Cried out. You heard Dracula reply with a "Got it!" and you waited for Dracula to return. You didn't have to wait long as he came back upstairs with a glass of orange juice in hand. You gave a smile despite the pain eating at you.

"Here you go" Said Dracula softly handing you the glass of orange juice. You thanked him, took the painkillers and swallowed it with the juice.

Dracula climbed into bed and pressed the hot water bottle gently to your abdomen. You let out a pained groan before sighing as the warmth spread through you, slowly melting away the pain. You lie back as Dracula resumed holding you close, lying your head against his chest as he resumed the show.

"Thank you Drac" You Murmured softly as you began to feel a little sleepy. You felt Dracula press a kiss to your head.

"You're welcome my dear. If you feel sleepy, just close your eyes and take your rest" Dracula Suggested. You nuzzled your face into his chest with a whine.

"What if I miss the show?" You Asked, fighting to stay awake. Dracula chuckled softly and you felt him lean his lips to your ear.

"You won't. Let's save the rest for another day my love. Now, just relax and sleep a while. I promise to wake you if you need me to" Whispered Dracula. You smiled at his words and soon began to feel more sleepy.

"Just wake me up for lunch or dinner" You Mumbled sleepily. Dracula promised he would and you closed your eyes and fell into a deep sleep. While you slept, Dracula occupied himself with some random TV channels, watching bits of the news mixed with Jamie Oliver cooking shows and sometimes flickering to watch The Great British Bake Off.

Whilst watching the cooking shows, Dracula did gain an idea on what to make him and you for dinner though.

He opened up his phone, made a few purchases and soon ingredients arrived at the door in shopping bags from your local store. Dracula stored them away for dinner and returned to the bedroom, where he took a nap himself and energised.

You awoke to Dracula softly caressing your face. You awoke and smiled at him. You gave a stretch, feeling much better but hungry.

"What time is it?" You Yawned.

"Time to make us some dinner" Replied Dracula getting up from bed, yawning and showing off his fangs as he stretched.

"Perfect, I'm starving" You Declared, making Dracula let out a laugh.

"Then you'll love what I'm making us tonight" Teased Dracula watching you as you raised an eyebrow at him.

"Oooh, I can't wait" You Replied and Dracula smirked at that. So Dracula made his way downstairs to begin dinner. You freshened up a bit and awaited.

Sometime soon you could smell something delicious.

"It's definitely a pasta dish, I know that smell anywhere" You Thought, relishing in the aromatic smell of herbs and sauce together. Your mouth watered, wondering what delicious pasta dish Dracula was whipping up.

A while later and Dracula emerged from downstairs, carrying two plates of delicious, home cooked lasagne.

"Drac, you made us lasagne! You're really the best boyfriend you know that!" You Cheered happily. Dracula blushed a bit at that and gave you a warm smile.

"Got an idea from watching those cooking programs while you were sleeping. I thought why not, Italian dishes being your favourite" Explained Dracula as he handed you your plate and fork.

"Stay here, got some drink downstairs" Said Dracula who went and retrieved two glasses of cranberry juice. You two ate in comfortable silence, occasionally commenting how great the food is.

"Oh, did you get a feed yet? Apart from the food I mean?" You Asked, knowing that you bleeding right now next to your vampire boyfriend was probably driving him crazy with hunger. It couldn't be easy, smelling all that blood and yet denying yourself to feed.

"I will feed soon my love" Dracula Replied smiling. You frowned a bit.

"But you must be hungry. I know it's not easy, being a vampire and smelling me practically bleed all over the place Drac. If you want, you can....." But Dracula stopped you.

"You are bleeding a lot already and in some way or form losing it too. I'll only be taking more and you'll be left feeling more weak than normal after feeding" Explained Dracula.

"But Drac....." You Began.

"I appreciate you looking out for me my dear but right now, I want to take care of you. I'll feed soon tonight, I promise" Vowed Dracula and smiled. You nodded and smiled at that and the two of you continued to eat.

Later on in the night, Dracula went out to feed. He was gone a long while. You cuddled Barnet close to you as you anxiously waited for him.

Dracula did return. He was still licking the blood from his lips and fangs as he made his way upstairs to you. You smiled upon seeing him safe and not hurt.

"Sorry if I was gone a little too long" Apologised Dracula.

"It's alright Drac, did you feed enough?" You Asked.

"Two tonight. My belly is full for tonight" Dracula Replied licking the last remnants of blood from his fangs and changing into some comfortable night wear, giving his mouth a good rinse of mouthwash. He climbed into bed and cuddled beside you.

"Picked up a treat for us on the way home" Said Dracula pulling out a full Cadbury chocolate bar for you and him to share. You wrapped your arms around him and kissed his cheek.

"Best vampire boyfriend ever Drac" You Grinned.

Dracula chuckled and returned the gesture with a kiss to your lips which you happily returned.
