Work Text:
The young men were sleeping peacefully cuddled to each other. They finally reached to the end of the uni year and could enjoy the freedom without being made to worry about all the exams. Especially, during the last week of uni both of them were so occupied with studying that they were barely able to spend time together which they had to make up for now.
Fortunately, the temperature was great to sleep and cuddle. It wasn't all sticky and uncomfortable as it was some nights, very hot nights. However, this time it was perfect.
Ezra had his arm wrapped around Tony's waist and one leg over his legs. He held his boyfriend close which always made the ginger melt inside. Ezra wasn't a very muscled guy but his arms were made for cuddles and hugs.
Unfortunately, Tony's sleep was interrupted by an annoying pain in his abdomen. At first, he didn't realize what it might have been but as soon as he felt something wet between his legs, he sat up as fast as he could and stormed out of their bedroom, running to the bathroom. How could he forget? He kept asking himself. Tony was now sure that Ezra would be grossed out and tell him to sleep on a sofa.
"Tony?" Ezra slowly opened his eyes when he felt a sudden movement on the bed. He got even more worried when he realized that his love was nowhere to be found. "Anthony." The man sat up and turned on their bedside lamp. To his suprise, the room was empty and there was no sign of the other man.
As Ezra was about to get up he noticed a red stain on their bedsheets and got even more concerned. Was his boyfriend hurt?!
"Tony! Love, where are you?!" Ezra checked the living room but it didn't seem like anybody were there. And right then he noticed light coming from the bathroom. "Darling, are you there?" he asked softly and the only thing he heard was sobbing.
Ezra knew it probably wasn't the most appropriate thing to do but he took a knife from their kitchen and unlocked the bathroom door. That situation was an emergency.
As soon as he walked inside, he was welcomed with such a miserable picture. Tony was sitting on the toilet, his face hid in his hands and he was sobbing. He still had his shirt on but his boxers were now in the sink that was filled with water which was... red?
"Tony, my dear, what happened?" Ezra knelt in from of his boyfriend and rubbed his calves gently since he knew how Tony liked when he was touching his legs so affectionately.
Suddenly, the ginger looked up and his eyes met Ezra's. They were also red from crying and exhaustion since he hadn't got a lot of sleep.
"I g-got my period," he sobbed and was about to cover his face again but the blond grabbed his hands in his own and rubbed them which his thumbs.
"Oh, dear, I thought you got hurt," Ezra admitted and breathed a sigh of relief. "Does your tummy hurt?" he asked and got a light nod in return.
"And I, um, I don't have any tampons..."
Tony preferred them over pads. Pads made him so gender dysphoric everything he was using them so he quickly changed to tampons which were more effective and less uncomfortable.
Ezra had to think quick. "Okay, darling, you wait here and I'll go get them for you."
"What? Where are you going?" Tony asked already feeling bad for making his boyfriend walk alone at night just because he was so dumb for not buying tampons. After all, it was his responsibility to deal with such gross things.
The blond, however, only smiled softly and gave his boyfriend a quick kiss. "I'll be back in 20 minutes." And he was gone.
In the meantime, Tony washed his private parts and wanted to change their sheets but it was quite impossible while not having anything that would protect him from making even a bigger mess. But he had to do something, he couldn't just make Ezra clean his mess. That's why, he grabbed as much toilet paper as he could and put in his new boxers before putting them on. It was extremely uncomfortable and already made him feel awful but there was no other way.
He made his was to their bedroom and took of the sheets as soon as possible and chucked them in a mashing machine. Fortunately, he had listened to Ezra when he had told him to buy more than one set of bedsheets.
After what happened to be exactly 20 minutes, Tony was done and he heard the door to their flat being opened and soon the blond appeared in their bedroom.
"Oh, love, you didn't have to do it. I would have taken care of it."
Tony scratched the back of his neck. "I wouldn't like you to deal with such gross-" He was quickly cut off by a soft kiss.
"How many times do I have to remind you that nothing about you is gross?" The blond brushed his cheek gently and gave him a small bag with all the thing Tony needed right now. "Do you need help?" The ginger only shook his head and went back to the bathroom.
Ezra was amazing. He bought exactly everything Tony preferred. Tampons especially for the night, some long pads, just in case and other tampons but for the day. Tony couldn't believe Ezra was so confident and sure about buying these things. Most men is grossed out whenever their partner gets their period but Aziraphale was a big exception.
"Are you feeling better, dear?" he asked as soon as Tony came back wearing some fresh boxers.
"Thank you." The ginger's voice was breaking a little. It was unbelievable for him that he had found somebody so supportive and protective. He gave Ezra a big hug, simultaneously pushed him on bed and laying on his chest. " I'm really sorry I both-"
"Shh, you didn't, love. I'll always help you." The blond wrapped his arms around Tony's waist. "You're so handsome when the moon lightens your face."
The ginger blushed both because he got shy and also because he knew that Ezra knew that during his periods Tony's self-esteem was decreasing so so much and every little compliment coming from his mouth was so appreciated.
"You're perfect, angel," Tony grinned and kissed his boyfriend ending it with a loud yawn.
"Goodnight, my dear boy," Ezra whispered. "Sweet dreams."
"G'night, 'ngel."
