Work Text:
Dave walked up the stairs to Shawn’s room, he hadn’t heard from Shawn in a few hours: which was weird for him to do, he always came down stairs to talk to him.
”Hey Shawn! You okay?” Dave yelled halfway up the stairs, he got no response back.
okay something was definitely wrong.
Once Dave had finally reached the top of the stairs he knocked on Shawn’s door. No response.
He opened the door to let himself in, it took a few minutes to find Shawn.
Shawn was buried under piles of blankets and pillows, Dave went to go pull the blankets off of him, but before he did something on the floor caught his attention.
he picked up a pair of light grey boxes off the floor, Dave got scared as soon as he seen the huge blood stain in the crotch area of them.
”Shawn, Honey, are you okay?” Dave said going to pull the covers off his boyfriend.
”Fuck off…” Shawn said back, pulling the covers over himself tighter.
Dave say down on the bed next to Shawn, he softly rubbed Shawns side from the top of the blanket.
”please tell me what’s going on”
Shawn sat up pulling the blankets and pillows off of him, he looked very upset.
”Well I dunno Dave, maybe I’m bleeding out of my fucking vagina and all I have is stupid tampons to stop the bleeding and my cramps are killing me and ALSO it doesn’t help that this is just another reminder that I’m a fucking girl.” Shawn ranted to Dave, Dave looked at him apologetically.
“Oh I’m sorry Shawn, I- I didn’t know” Dave said back.
suddenly he got an idea.
”I have to go somewhere, I’ll be right back love” Dave said as he kissed Shawn’s forehead, he soon left the room, gently shutting the door behind him.
Leaving Shawn alone.
He tossed in his bed trying to get comfortable, at would be to hot, then to cold. It would be to hard then to soft, there would be not enough blankets then not enough blankets.
He sat up, dreadfully walking to the bathroom.
He sat down on the toilet, pulling his pants and underwear down, he hated when he would have to change his boxes to these girlish pink underwear. Why were they pink? Because he couldn’t find any other kind in stock at the time he bought them and he couldn’t bring himself to buy more.
He grabbed the light blue string and pulled it slowly, it hurt like a bitch. Once he pulled it out completely he looked in disgust at the object in his hand, he wrapped the bloody tampons in toilet paper a tossed it into the trashcan next to him. He went to grab another tampons until he heard a knock on his bathroom door.
”what?” Shawn shouted from inside the bathroom.
”Hey! Uhm, I went to the store and got you some stuff that I think might help,, Oh! And I got you these, uhh I think there called Menstruation pads or something like that, is that what you wanted?” Dave shouted back
”Yes,,” Even though Shawn sounded the same as before he was happy, he didn’t have to deal with those hellish tampons anymore.
Shawn sat up from the toilet, shuffling to the door with his pants around his ankles, cracking the door open for his boyfriend to pass him the pads.
He took the bag of pads from Dave and locked the door again before shimming his way back to sit down.
”I didn’t know your so I guessed it , I hope it’s somewhat right..” Shawn could practically see Dave’s awkward smile.
”it’s okay,, thank you..” Shawn mumbled.
”heh, no problem”
Shawn tore open the bag and grabbed a pad out from it.
”I’ll be waiting out here for you whenever your done, alright?”
It took a few seconds before Shawn responded, “okay”
—————————
Shawn walked out of the bathroom, he felt a bit more comfortable then before, Dave surprisingly did a good job at guessing because he guessed right.
”so… how is it?” Dave asked, sitting on the edge of the bed.
”it, it feels better then before, thank you” Shawn gave a weak small smile back.
Dave patted a spot on the bed next to him, Shawn walked over and sat next to the other.
Dave pulled a plastic bag off the floor and onto the bed.
”okay so, I didn’t know what you exactly needed but I tried my best to get you stuff you liked so it could maybe help.”
Dave said as he dug through the bag.
He pulled out a small tub of chocolate brownie ice cream and handed it to Shawn, After he pulled out a small bottle of Tylenol and chips.
“I hope this is good enough” Dave said as he gave him a gentle kiss on his forehead again.
Shawn put the stuff on the side and hugged Dave tightly.
”Thank you, for everything.” Shawn thanked Dave, Dave hugged him back.
”its gonna be okay, it’s just a few more days”
Dave tried to comfort his boyfriend.
”Can we stay like this for a little bit?” Shawn asked quietly, “Of course” Dave responded, hugging him tighter.
”I love you.”
”I love you too”
