Work Text:
You feel a slight nudge of your shoulder. What on earth could that be? You look at the clock on your nightstand and see that it's two in the morning. Namjoon must have just gotten home. You roll over to look at your boyfriend and smile.
"Hey. Are you just getting home, " you whisper softly.
"Yeah. I was about to get in bed but heard you moaning in your sleep. Is everything okay?"
You look at Joonie confused. Are you okay? You sat up in the bed and scratched your head. What could he possibly...then you felt it. A dull ache in your lower abdomen. It must be that time again. You sighed.
"It's nothing babe. Just that time of the month. I'm going to go to the restroom."
You turned on your bedside lamp and headed to the bathroom. You grabbed an extra pad from the cabinets below the sinks before sitting on the commode. As you pulled your pants down you realized you had bled through your panty liner and a huge stain was in your shorts. You didn't grab a change of clothes thinking that it had just started. Putting your head in your hands you embarrassingly had to ask for Joonie's help.
"Namjoonie..."
"Yes Jagiya? Is everything okay," he asked quietly.
"Umm...everything is fine...I...umm..."
"Need some underwear and pants," he finished for you.
"How..."
"There is a stain on the bedsheets. I've already stripped the bed and put them in the washer. Do you want your comfy sweats? I know you usually wear those when you don't feel well."
You smiled. Namjoonie may seem oblivious to most, but when it comes to you he remembers everything.
"Yes, please. Thank you Joonie," you sigh.
"Why don't you run yourself a hot bath? I'll bring you some clothes and put your dirty ones in the wash."
"Okay."
You go to the large tub on the left side of the bathroom and turn the warm water on. Pouring some lavender bubble bath you inhale the scent as bubbles start to rise to the surface. You strip down and slowly step in to the tub, as you turn off the faucet. You sink down into the warm water until it comes to your collarbones then relax your head against the tub.
"Jagiya? Can I come in?"
"Yes."
Namjoon came in carrying your comfy black sweats, which happened to be some old BTS merchandise you had bought years ago. Joonie always picked on you when you wore them because Rap Monster was written in bold white letters down the right leg. Even back then Joonie was your bias. How were you supposed to know that your boyfriend would also be the bias you rocked on your favorite sweats? Not only did he bring you the pants but he also brought one of his big shirts, knowing you liked loose clothing when on your period. Namjoon put your clean clothes on the counter by the sinks. He walked to where your dirty clothes were on the floor and picked them up. Before leaving the bathroom he placed a gentle kiss to your forehead, then started to walk to the laundry room.
"Thank you Joonie. I now you must be tired from rehearsals and..."
"No need to thank me Jagiya. You would do the same for me...well..I mean if I had that...which I don't because I'm obviously a guy...but...anyway. I'm going to start the washer. Anything specific I need to put in it?"
"Pour some seltzer water and lemon juice on the spots, then throw them into the washing machine. That should remove the stains."
"I can do that."
Namjoon carried your clothes to the washing machine. You could hear Joonie moving stuff around, probably looking for the seltzer water. Occasionally, you would hear a soft curse as he dropped something on the floor. To the world he was the God of Destruction, but every clumsy thing he did just made him more dear to you. You finally heard the soft hum of the washer begin as your eyes drifted closed.
A few minutes later you heard Joonie moving around in your shared room. He must be looking for the spare sheets.
"Jagiya," he poked his head into the bathroom.
"Yeah?"
"Where are the spare sheets you let Yoongi-hyung borrow when he was over?"
"They are in the chest at the end of the bed."
"Of course. I should have known that."
You chuckled as he left. Luckily, you had just washed the bed sheets after Yoongi-oppa stayed to work on some music the week before. As you leaned you head back against the tub you heard the bathroom door open. Turning your head to the right, you see Namjoon sit on the side of the tub and pick up you hand. He slowly brought it to his lips, bubbles and all, to deliver a soft kiss. He then held your hand between his two larger ones.
"I put the clean bedspread on. Do you need any pain reliever?"
You nodded your head and slowly began to get out of the tub, when Namjoon gently pushed you back into the water.
"I can get it Jagiya. Where do you have it," he asks walking towards the counter with the sinks.
"It's in the cabinet above my sink. It's in a blue bottle."
"This," he pulls the bottle out and shows it to you.
"That's it."
He gets a small rinse cup to fill with water and brings you a couple of capsules. You swallow the medicine and relax back into the water.
"You can head on to bed Joonie. I know you have an interview tomorrow morning...err...later today I guess. I can finish up by myself."
Namjoon sits back on the side of the tub and looks at you sweetly. He grabs your hand again and massages it while he speaks.
"The interview has been cancelled for today. The host has the flu and didn't want to get anyone sick. Luckily, he has a pre-recorded show that can be aired instead."
"Oh," you sigh, "I hope he feels better."
"Hopefully some rest is all he needs to get better... Are you starting to get cold? You're starting to shiver."
"I guess I should get out then, huh?"
"Probably."
Namjoon smiles and stands to grab your towel for you. As you dry off he pulls out the plug in the tub and heads back into the bedroom. You quickly put on a new pair of underwear and a clean pad. You quietly slip on his shirt and your comfy sweats before heading back into your shared room. Namjoon pulls the covers back so you can crawl into the bed. You curl up on your left side as Joonie spoons you from the back. He wraps his arms across your lower abdomen, knowing that the heat helps with the cramps. You intertwine your fingers and sigh as you close your eyes.
"My own personal heating pad," you smile.
"At your service Jagiya," he says as he nuzzles his face into the back of your neck.
You lay there for a few moments, almost back to sleep when Joonie whispers, "Jagiya?"
"Hmmm?"
"Does this happen a lot? I mean, is it always this bad? I don't want to worry that you are bleeding to death while I'm away and..."
You laugh and turn around so you are facing him. Cupping his face in your palm, you kiss his nose before smiling at him.
"It's not always this bad. Some months are worse than others; I'm not going to bleed to death or anything like that. My guess is that my hormones are out of whack since you're back from tour. After months of not having you around my hormones have been fluctuating sporadically."
"What do you mean," he asks with a confused look.
"Well...obviously I'm more active than I was when you weren't here. That would cause an increase in some hormone levels..."
"Active...what do you...oh...oh! That causes your hormones to change," he asked incredulously.
"To put it simply, yes. It's a little more complicated than that."
"So, are you saying you're having a war of hormones," he laughs as you grin at his cheesy joke.
"Yeah, I guess you could say that. Not that I'm complaining. I don't mind the extra activities," you smile as Joonie blushes.
You kiss Namjoon before rolling back around and resuming your original position. Namjoon yawns before cuddling up to your back and snuggling his face at your neck.
"What time do you have to be at the office," you ask yawning.
"Not until eleven."
"Okay. I'll make sure you're up. Get some rest Joonie."
"Goodnight Jagiya. I love you."
"I love you too."
You smiled as you felt Namjoon's breaths get slower and deeper. As your eyes slowly drifted shut you couldn't help but thank the stars for bringing such a wonderful man like Joonie into your life.
