"Shit, shit, shit, shit!"

(Y/n) gasps when she sits up in bed after waking up in the middle of the night to fix her blanket that she kicked off while in her sleep, dread filling her when she sees the red stains on her sheets instead.

"Fuck!" She quickly gets up out of bed and rushes to get new clothes before heading into the bathroom to get cleaned up, switching pants and underwear. She felt annoyed that she couldn't predict her next period, walking out into her room and scowling at the bed knowing she could've avoided this and gotten more sleep. Now she was awake and tired and stripping her bed of the sheets before the stains went to the mattress, which thankfully didn't.

She was tired and in pain and angry, the sheets a mess on her floor before she crept to her door to silently open it up, peeking down the hallway hoping she didn't wake anyone up.

(Y/n) crept out into the dark hallway to roam around the house, trying to remember where Lauren kept the spare bedsheets so she could change her bed and go back to sleep. She didn't want to wake anyone up and grew frustrated and in tears that she couldn't find the spare sheets.

She was cold, so cold and just wanted to go back to sleep. "Fuck!"

Aidan woke up startled, a sinking feeling in his chest and he immediately grew worried. He blinks with worry when he hears soft sniffling along with doors closing, looking at his shut bedroom door while rubbing his eyes sleepily and ruffling his messy hair. He soon gets up from bed, worried about his love and peeks out of his bedroom after opening the door to see her bedroom door open and the light on. He walks down the hallway to her room and sees her bedsheets all piled on the floor and off her bed. The brunette was confused and went to look for his love, walking down the stairs to the laundry room and peeking in to see her looking frantic. She was opening doors and cupboards in the house as if searching for something and he saw how exhausted she was.

Was she crying?

Aidan furrows his brow and walks up to (y/n) silently, hugging her from behind which scares her but she immediately calms down when she recognised his warmth. "What's wrong (y/n)?" his voice croaked hoarsely, a soft whisper against his love's shoulders as he rubs her arms soothingly. "Why are you up this late? What happened?" She grows flustered, embarrassed even but closes her eyes and breathes out shakily when he holds her close.

"I can't find the spare bed sheets... do you know where your mum kept them?"

"They're all in the wash baby. But what's wrong? Your sheets are on the floor." He turns her around in his arms but she looks at the ground, almost ashamed and he didn't like that. "(Y/n)." The brunette holds her chin ever so softly, aware that his love must be tired and sensitive tonight from how upset she was. "Hey..." he leans down to look at her softly, tilting her head up to see her tear up but a scowl grows on her face like she was trying to hold back the tears.

"I..." she sighs in defeat and drops her head on his chest as he hugs her tightly, kissing the top of her head. "I got my period and I didn't know until I woke up and-"

"-and it got your sheets." Aidan sighs in relief that it wasn't anything terrible or terrifying, pulling (y/n) closer to hug her even more tightly. "Let's get you to bed."

"But-"

"-my bed."

"Aidan I can't!" His love's voice muffled against his chest and she pulls back to look up at him with a frown. "What if I ruin your sheets-"

"-I don't care." He smiles softly, brushing her hair back to see her. "Baby you're in pain and your period is normal. Now come back to bed with me." he coos softly, alluring his love to join him with a sweet tone. "You need to sleep. We'll sort out your sheets tomorrow morning. Ok?" He looks down at her, waiting for her to agree and she sighs sleepily in his arms as she leans into his touch when he holds her cheek and brushes his thumb against her jaw.

"... ok." Aidan smiles softly, running his hands down (y/n)'s neck as he presses featherlight kisses down her jaw making her tremble in his arms. Oh, she was so sensitive, running his hands down to hold hers and place them on his bare chest.

"Good girl." He whispers happily against her skin, pressing a sweet kiss on her neck that makes her shudder and he moves to hold her elbows softly, gently pulling her with him out of the laundry room. "Come now lovely." he leads her up the stairs, holding her waist gently to not hurt her, entwining their hands together over her stomach. The brunette leads his love back upstairs to his room this time, switching off the light and closing the door to her room when they walked past it. He lets her settle in his bed first before climbing in next to her, letting her adjust comfortably before he lays down with her. She looks up at him sleepily as she laid on her back and he leans up on his arm to look down at her with a smile, pressing a kiss on her forehead. "Go to sleep (y/n)." He feels so protective of her when she croons against his chest as he shifts closer to her, rubbing her hip and her stomach to ease her pain. She holds his hand that lays next to her head, laying on his arm while he peppers sweet kisses all over her face.

"Ok..." she nods and lets herself relax in his presence and he feels warm that she trusts him enough to sleep with him on her period. She always stayed in her room during those periods of time every month, always doing things on her own and not needing anyone else's help even if she was in discomfort. It gave him so much joy that she let him help her and comfort her this time, laying down to sleep with her as he rests a hand on her stomach to act as a source of heat for her.

He waits for her to fall asleep first before dozing off happily with her in his arms.

Aidan woke up early the next morning, muffling his awes at how adorable (y/n) was clinging onto his body, like a koala wrapping her legs and arms around him and it killed him inside to move away from her. The discomfort immediately hits her as she furrows her brows, curling into a ball and holding her stomach and he feels guilty for moving away but he had to. He freshens up as quickly as he could before heading to his girlfriend's room to put her sheets in the wash, getting new ones after to change on her bed for her before making her breakfast. The brunette carry's the tray up to his room and sees his love awake but laying completely still like a plank.

This makes him worry immediately. "Are you ok!? What's wrong?" He sets the tray down quickly and walks up to her.

"If I move... shit I have to get up but if I move there is gonna be a waterfall." She grimaces at the fact that she just told her boyfriend but he just smiles at her sweetly. He holds her hand and helps her sit up slowly, a gasp leaving her and she dashes for the bathroom. "You gotta be fucking kidding me!" She screams out angrily from the bathroom.

"New pants and underwear?" Aidan muses by the shut bathroom door.

"...yes..." (y/n)'s voice was so meek and embarrassed and it made him chuckle softly, grabbing extra clothes for his love and whatever she uses for her period. He walks into the bathroom and she gasps, trying to cover up. "Get out! I'm naked from the waist down!"

"So? I have your beautiful figure memorised lovely. I wouldn't mind taking another peek." The brunette winks at his love and narrowly avoids the shampoo bottle she throws at him. "Feisty." He grins and she rolls her eyes, making grabby hands for her stuff and he passes it to her.

"Now out!" She gently kicks his ass and he chuckles, leaving the bathroom while she snickers and gets cleaned up. She comes back out and goes to check the bed, pulling the blanket away to see that she was in the clear. "Oh thank god..."

"I'll get mum to clean up your clothes-" (y/n) quickly stops Aidan and quickly grabs her clothes instead.

"Don't touch! I'll do it!"

"Baby, I don't care about the blood. I care about you resting. Just go lay down and I'll put these away." He takes the clothes from her and she stutters, blinking in shock and watching him leave his bedroom.

"I'm not hungry!" She yells out to him when she notices the tray of food on her loves bedside table.

"I don't care! Brush your teeth and eat!" He calls back out and she huffs. "Your tea is getting cold!"

"You sound like my mum!"

"Kids, stop yelling! You have phones for a reason!" Rob butts in and everyone in the house laughs. (Y/n) does what Aidan asks her to do, settling into bed and drinking her tea. The warmth eases her pain just a bit but not enough. The brunette comes back and nestled in bed with his love, turning the tv on and draping her legs over his lap so she could rest on his chest as they lay against the headboard. He feeds her an almond croissant, brownies, buttered toast and whatever else she wanted while rubbing her hips and her stomach. He wanted to take care of her like this all the time but she always takes care of herself without needing anyone so he took advantage and enjoyed this moment with her as long as he could.

"Would you let me take care of you again? If you got sick or got your period?"

"You don't need to. I know how to look after myself."

"But what if I want to?" He whines against her neck and she blushes.

"We'll see." He hums in response and presses a sweet kiss on her shoulder before watching the tv show they had on.

~~~~~~~~

Aidan stretches his arms over his head with a quiet but big yawn, making sure to keep quiet to not disturb (y/n) who was fast asleep soundly in his bed. He was working on his laptop in his room, keeping an eye on his love to make sure she needed whatever she asked of him. He turns in his chair to see her look so peaceful despite the few cramps and pains of her period that she had grown used to. He slowly stands up and walks up to the bed, kneeling down on the floor next to her. The brunette tilts his head in adoration, gently shifting her pillow closer to her body while brushing her hair away. 

Oh, she looks so lovely in his clothes and sleeping on his bed, brushing his fingers against her cheek as she nuzzled his pillow. "Aidan..." his heart races erratically when he hears her whisper his name so blissfully, leaning into his touch which made him so happy. He sits back on his heels, giving one final kiss on his love's forehead before going back to his table to continue working. But not for long.

(y/n) wakes up and simply just sits up in bed, rubbing her eyes but she sees her love working at his desk. She stumbles out of bed towards him, dropping her head on his shoulder to make him jolt in surprise.

"Baby, you're awake." he reaches up to caress her cheek. "Do you want to eat something?" she nods but doesn't say what.

"I'm hungry... but I don't know what I want to eat..."

"Hey, come here..." Aidan smiles, pulling his love into his lap and he cradles her as she nestles against his chest. "I'll make whatever you want, as many things as you want to try until you're satisfied."

"Mhm..." the brunette chuckles hearing his love reply to him sleepily, knowing she was falling asleep on him again and he lets her rest. He rubs her back and her head that rests on his shoulder, relaxing with her as he kicks his feet up on his desk. He feels sleepy himself, feeling warm and relaxed having his lovely girlfriend rest with him until he falls asleep too.

"Aidan?" Rob calls out for his son, having looked around the entire house except for his bedroom and heads up there. It was time for dinner and the youngsters misses out on lunch. "Kid, dinner is ready." he knocks on his son's bedroom door before opening it up, finding an adoring sight in front of him. "Oh, I gotta tell Lauren!" 

He had found Aidan and (y/n) together on his recliner chair, the both of them fast completely asleep together. The chair was laying back as the brunette's love slept on top of him, crooning beneath his chin while he had an arm around her waist and her head while hers hung over his shoulders.
