It's called periods! (Loki x ill reader)

It was just another day, another basic day in ____ and Loki's life. It was raining hard outside and there was no missions involved so they could have all day to themselves alone.

____ had put Mario cd to her wii console and was playing it casually. Jump-man Mario jumped his levels as she was trying to collect all the starcoins like a perfectionist. She was wearing her comfty clothes and was determinated to stay inside all day.

The door of bedroom was opened and the god of tricks walked sleepily out. He was wearing his usual sleeping clohes, green shirt and black pants. He looked to sofa and his beautiful girldfriend... who had tonque out for all conserntration. She didn't turn to face him at all but she knew that he was there. ”Just a bit, just a bit...” she muttered to herself and saw the finishing line... and then jumped to early and fell to pit. ”NOOOOOO!!!” she let out and pouted. Loki stared at her for a moment and chuckled. She was so childish sometimes.

She gave murderous glare to him. ”This game is hard!” she said and her stare was almost challenging him. ”Yeah... sure...” Loki smirked. ”It's easy for you to say. Why not playing with me and see it for yourself?” ”I'll pass,” Loki smirked. ”What? Coward?” she smirked and threw it back at him. She could see it from Loki's eyes that he was actually considering the offer.

”Perhaps later. Now I just want some breakfast... Can you do those delicious toasts for me, dear?” Loki asked in sweetest way possible. Of course he, being the prince, he was not accustomed to cooking so he couldn't exactly do it on his own. ____ didn't mind it though since he always remembered to thank and if it was good, he always complimented them. That's really rare for man to do. ”Sure,” she smiled and put the controler down.

She got up and walked towards the kitchen but once trying to get past Loki, he suddenly pulled his arms around her waist and pulled her against him. ”...Or on second thought... I should have you as my breakfast...” Loki smirked and got a bit down for her. She blushed and giggled a bit. ”You creedy~” she giggled. ”What? You are my only girlfriend, my only true love. I think it is my right to have you all by myself~” he smirked and gave sweet kisses to her lips. They were small but soon they turned to more passionate and hungry. She loved the way he showed his love to her.

She pulled apart from him even though she wouldn't mind being with him a bit longer. ”...I just remembered that we are out of some ingredients. How about some omelets instead?” she smiled. ”I would love that.” As she walked towards the kitchen, she felt a small slap on her butt. ”Ah!” she let out surprised gasp and turned around to face smirking Loki for once more. ”Dirty~” she said.

She went to kitchen and started preparing the ingredients for the omelet. Loki sat down and just watched how her deligent hands worked to chop some herbs and things she could find from the fridge. She broke the eggs and started frying the omelet. While on frying, she took out two plates and soon took the omelet out on plate and gave it to Loki who started eating it. He loved her cooking, it was simply the best.

She sat down to eat hers and it was another success. The omelet simply melt in her mouth and the flavors were so good that she wanted to lick the plate clean. ”...It's not too bad...” she said modetly. Loki raised his eyebrowns. ”Not too bad, you say?” he asked. ”I think this was one of the best you have done so far.” ____ smiled. With him she felt like a goddess.

After eating and washing the dishes, they came on sofa and watched whole marathon of Game of thrones. It was just a suggestion if they should do that but when he mentioned that he had ever seen them, she had already made her mind. It was one of true classics of HBO and he simply had to see it.

They lied down on sofa and he had put his hands around her so she would not fall down from the edge. She cuddled against him and sometimes he gave small kisses to her head.

Around time for one of yet many monologes, she started to wiggle a bit and try to find a good position. ”What is it?” Loki asked and let her go a bit. ”Nothing... just trying to find a good position...” she muttered and put her head on his arm like it was a pillow. That position was fine for few minutes until she started to change it again. Loki looked down to her but said nothing and turned back to tv.

She got up to sitting position and was huffing in strange way. ”What's wrong?” Loki asked and looked at her. He clearly noticed that something was wrong. ”Darling?” She didn't give him any answers so he got up as well and put his hand on her shoulder.

Then she suddenly went to running directly towards the bathroom. Assuming by the noise, the breakfast had just come up. Loki paused the player and rushed to her aid. He held her (h/c) back with one hand and rubbed her back with other. It was obvious that she was sick as she coughed and waited for another vomit to come up. Nothing came but she spit the awful remains from her mouth. ”....How are you feeling?” He asked after a moment of silence.

”... ...Bad...” she said and felt that something was coming up again. She leaned closer to toilet and let it out. That might have been last night's dinner. ”What's happening to you?” Loki asked in confusion. She already had a theory but for that she needed to check something. She flushed the toilet and leaned on the sink to get up from the floor. ”...Loki, could you get out for a minute?” she asked in quiet, worn out tone. ”Are you sure?” he asked and she nodded. He didn't want to leave her alone but he had no choice. He got out of the bathroom and closed the door behind him. He walked to sofa since it was the nearest seat for him to sit and just waited.

In the meantime ____ closed her eyes from annoyance. She was sadly right with her theory. It was that time of the month again.Why from all the posible timings, it just had to be that day. She cleaned herself from the blood and stepped out of the bathroom. Loki jumped out of sofa and rushed to her. ”How are you feeling?” he asked and looked at her pale face. ”...I'm on my periods...” she muttered.

…

Awkward silence broke out between them. It was like a bubble nether of them wanted to pop. ”...You are on what?” Loki asked. ”Periods,” she sighed in bored expression. ”Periods?” he repeated. ”Yes! Periods!” she repeated in drustration and obviously missed his point. ”No, what ARE periods you speak of?”

…

”What... did you say?” she asked in disbelief. She was so sure that her ears were failing her. ”I have simply no idea what you are speaking of,” Loki said. ”Wait, you don't know what periods are?” she asked and wanted to make sure she understood him correctly. ”Menstruations? Monthlys?”

Loki looked even more confused. ”What?!” she asked and couldn't believe that there exsisted one man who didn't know about perioids. ”How you-” she was about to say until she felt huge pain in her tummy and she got down to her knees. She had felt some preasure in there for some time but now it had gone to that hopeless level.

Loki quickly got down and was clearly panicking. ”___, what is this about!? What's happening to you?” he put his hands on her arms and brushed them gently. She looked up to him as she wanted to cry a river. It was so painful. ”Long... story short... I get these... every month....” ”Every month?” ”...Every... month...” she muttered. ”I need painkillers from the kitchen cabinet...” Loki shook his head. ”Where does it hurt? Let me use my magic-” ”NO!!” she yelled at him. It was true that he was using a lot of his magic to heal her every now and then but this was a risky game since she still needed her uterus and it the worst case scenario Loki would do something that would prevent her from getting children in future. ”Pain...killers from the kitchen... please...”

Loki got up and walked to their medicine cabinet to pick up something he could find to help her pain. He had never seen her like that and he was so afraid that he would lose her. He searched and searched the small collection of medicines but couldn't find any painkillers and then remembered the reason. ”...You used the last one couple days ago...” Loki yelled to her. ”...Oh shit...” was the mutter he heard from the hallway.

He walked to her and took her gently to his arms so he could take her to somewhere out of floor. He took her to their bedroom and placed her to double bed. She looked to be in a lot of pain and he had no idea what to do. He didn't believe in mortal science nor their medicences since magic was more reliable thing to use. He never bothered to get used to thing like that or even pay attention where to get painkillers in the first place. ”Please... just let me use my magic...” Loki begged and got close to her.

”No, Loki.... you just... can't...” she muttered and then flinched in pain and rolled up to fetus position. ”Why not?!” Loki's lower lip was starting to shake. He couldn't understand why she was refusing this. ”Because... thanks to this bleeding... and pain... I can have children... If this won't happen... I can't get pregnant..” she explained as easy as she could.

Right that moment she finally realized why he didn't understand periods in the first place: in the world of gods, pain or death did not exist like it did in mortal worlds. Gods could not get pregnant, did not have painfull periods or got sick. She felt really stupid for not thinking about the subject any sooner than that. Besides every single time she had periods in the past few months, Loki had always been away or she had been elsewhere. It was the first time she had got this when both of them were at home.

”...I must call doctor Banner... ” Loki mentioned but she shook her head again. ”No...” she muttered. ”Why not?!” Loki raised his voice and his hands got into fists. ”Please...! I don't want to see you in pain!” he bit his lip. ”...I don't want to lose you...” he muttered. She opened her eyes more and looked up to him. A small smile came to her lips and she put her hand on his cheek. ”...You are not losing me...” she said in quiet tone. ”...Call Pepper... She knows what to do...” she said and tried to reach for her cellphone on night table. Loki noticed it and gave it to her as she picked her number and gave it to Loki as she closed her eyes for a moment.

Loki walked outside the bedroom and waited as the phone beeped. He was begging that Pepper would answer until she did in her cheefull tone. ”Pepper,” she said and was excpecting to hear young ____'s chipper voice but instead heard Loki's. ”____ is in trouble,” he went straight to point. ”What happened?” she asked in worried tone. ”She is in... in... something she calls... 'periods' or something and she said that you can help. We have no medicene,” Loki explained. ”Oooooohhh...” Pepper said and sounded a lot more ease now that she knew what the problem was. ”I'll fetch the medicence and you go and make her feel better, okay?” Pepper suggested. ”...Roger...” he said and ended the call.

Loki walked back to bedroom and saw her curled up to small ball and fliched as waves of pain prevented her to fall asleep or stay still for long. He climbed on bed and lied next to her, rubbing her back gently. ”Does this help?” he asked. She nodded a bit and he kept rubbing her. ”I told Pepper about this and she is coming with the things you need...” he whispered to her.

He kept rubbing and patting her gently. At some point her breathing came a lot calmer and he believed that the pain had already left her but then he noticed that she had just managed to fell asleep.

He kissed her head gently and walked to living room. He closed the door so she could sleep without interuptions and just in nick of time, there was a knock on door. He walked to door and opened it. The blonde, beautiful miss Potts was there with a small bag of hers. ”How is she?” Pepper asked and stepped in. ”Sleeping... Is this... somehow normal?” he asked and closed the door. Pepper was so casual about it that he couldn't believe it. ”You could say that. To some women, the pain is unbearable and some don't get any effects at all,” she said and started emptying the bag. There was some painkillers and... package of her favorite ice cream. ”Ice cream?” he asked. ”Once the pain eases, then starts the eating. If she gest mad at you for no reason, just forget it. This is very sensitive time for women,” Pepper explained.

Loki just looked at her with expression that told that obviously he did not understand it. ”...Why in the Hel women must go through this?” Loki asked and put the ice cream to cold. Pepper giggled. ”Because that way we can have children. Women who don't bleed, can' have children,” she said.”Bleed?” he asked. Was there bleeding as well? Pepper blushed a bit. Loki just looked at ther and then to bedroom. Why did women had to suffer so much?

”...Is there anything I could do to make her feel better?” Loki asked. ”Nothing really... just don't do anything dramatic and listen what she says... unless she is ranting you, then just ignore it. In pain and hormone rush, women tend to say a lot of things they don't mean.”

Loki talked with her for a moment until she left. The painkillers were on table and he heard creaking noise from the bedroom. ___ was opening the door and looked pretty mess. Loki frowned and looked at her. ”How are you feeling?” he asked again as she walked towards the painkillers and grapped them. ”...A bit better...” she muttered and filled a glass with water. She took out a pill and swallowed it with some water. It would take some time before it would affect so she wasn't out of pain just yet.

”It will take some time... before it starts to work... could you distrack me for a moment?” she turned to him. Her eyes were halway closed and she was certany in pain. He wlaked to her and gave her a big hug. He had never felt such a priviledge of being a man and a god. ”...Will this happen at next month again?” Loki asked and rubbed her back while she leaned against his chest. ”Hm-m,” she mumbled and put her hands around him.

Loki rested his chin on her head and sighed. ____ closed her eyes and enjoyed his rubbing. ”...You haven't seen the childbirth...” she chuckled and tried to imagine his expresion then.

”Oh...” he said and cursed. She giggled a bit. He usually didn't curse or bad mouth. ”...The pain will go away eventually...” she muttered and continued smiling. She felt so loved and cared. ”...Can we have chinese for dinner?”
