Azul Ashengrotto—Period Comfort

TW: Blood

This week had been horrible. Scratch that, this month has been horrible. You’ve had cramps for so long, you don’t even know why. Well, technically you did, it was because your period was gonna come anytime soon, but why have cramps for so long? You sweared you’d strangle whoever decided periods were a good thing to make females have.

You'd been laying in your bed for the past day, the cramps and bleeding had gotten worse. And it wasn’t even halfway through yet. This was going to be a long week with how this was going.

So far nobody has come to check on you, and honestly? You’d rather it stay like that. Being left alone while like this? Heaven. You’d already snapped at people for being loud in class before it’d even came, just imagining what you’d say if you’d been in class again is scary to think of.

You roll over in bed, scrolling through Magicam while holding a plushie to your chest. The heating pad was out of reach and you were too lazy to move and get it. You had your candy though, it wasn’t chocolate but it’d do.

Popping a handful of candy into your mouth, you laugh at a funny video you find while doomscrolling. Looking inside the bag you see the candy is almost gone. Groaning, you turn off your phone and lay on your back.

“Why nowww…!” You sigh loudly, only to hear a knock at the door. Wondering who it is, you sit up, and call out, “Who is it?”

“It’s me, Azul. You didn’t go to class today, nor did you show up to work. Care to explain why you’re cooped up in here instead of going to class like a good Monstro Lounge Employee should?”

Azul Ashengrotto. The scammer housewarden who used his unique magic to trick people into working for him. But why was he at your door other than to annoy you into another crash out over not going to school because of the pain you’re in?

“May I come in?” Azul asks, turning the doorknob, not even waiting for a response before walking in.

He finds you sitting in the bed, stuffed animal still clutched to your chest, empty bag of candy in the bed, chargers tangled into each other, your room overall a mess in general.

“If you’re here to berate me about why I didn’t go to class today or go to work, save it. I’m not in the mood.” You scoff, rolling your eyes at him even though he hasn’t even said anything yet.

“First, how could you speak to someone who’s just here to help? Second, no I’m simply here to ask if you’re okay. You never miss a day of school.” Azul says, looking genuinely worried. He was less like the scamming housewarden you knew and more like..you didn’t know, just that he was acting kinder.

“I’m fine..” You mumble, and Azul raises an eyebrow as if he’d caught that lie before you’d even said it. Which honestly, he probably did. You looked like shit and were super sleep deprived.

“Mhm. And I’m Riddle Rosehearts. What’s wrong? You can talk to me you know.” You roll your eyes at that comment. Azul had a thing for being mean for no reason.

“Hmmph..fine..it’s just..cramps..not like you’d understand though..” You murmur, laying back down, cuddling the stuffed animal in your arms tighter. Suddenly the cramps got worse and you wince a bit, curling into yourself.

“Period I assume?” He asks, walking closer to the bed, placing a hand on your forehead just to make sure. “I’ll go get you some medicine to help with the cramps, and a heating pad if you’d like. I assume you have everything else you need?” He says walking towards the door.

“Mm.” You mumble, rolling over again.

Azul returns a while later with a heating pad, some medicine, a glass of cold water, your favourite candies, and one of your favourite snacks from the lounge.

“I got your favourites.” Azul smiles, coming back to the side of the bed and helping you sit up so you can take the medicine. “Would you like me to plug the heating pad in for you?” You nod, and he plugs it in and turns it on to a middle setting, putting the remote in an easily accessible place so you can either make it hotter or colder based on what you need.

“Don’t have it on the hot setting too long it could get too hot and burn you. We don’t want you drying out like a fish on land.” he runs his fingers through your hair, smiling gently down at you.

“Azul cares about something other than work? That’s a first.” You tease, and he gently smacks your arm, but he’s smiling, so it’s okay.
