Ezekiel always got dysphoric when he was on his period. He only got his period when he forgot his hormone treatment. Which he forgot to do a lot.
It wasn’t like it was his fault he forgot to take his testosterone. He was a forgetful guy. But also he had Jacob to remind him. But Jacob had been busy and now Ezekiel was in this predicament.
He laid in his bed miserably, curled up as it felt like his stomach was stabbing itself. He felt like his hold body was under attack by some unknown force.
There was a knock on the door, then Jacob revealed himself with a heating pad and some painkillers, but also the greasy food Ezekiel loved to eat whenever he was unfortunate enough to fall under the crimson tides.
“Hey, baby,” Jacob said softly. “How’re you feeling?”
“Like my stomach is stabbing itself,” Ezekiel bit back a bit more venomously than he meant, but Jacob seemed unphased.
That’ll happen when you grow up with seven little sisters. Each one was a demon on her time of the month Jacob had told Ezekiel around the time they started dating and Ezekiel had his first one while they were together.
“Right, sorry, Hun,” he said, sitting on the bed and setting down the survival essentials. “I got you some pain killers and a heating pad. But also a cheeseburger for when you’re hungry.”
“I’m not hungry,” Ezekiel said, though the smell of the burger -and probably fries- smelt amazing and made his stomach growl.
“You sure about that?” Jacob asked, smiling in ammusment.
“I already feel fat and that fat-causer isn’t going to help,” Ezekiel muttered bitterly.
“Awe, sweetheart, it’s just bloating. It’s natural for what you’re going through,” Jacob said, shaking the bag as an offering.
Ezekiel was quiet for a moment before he sat up and snatched the bag, rummaging through it with mock abandon. After a moment, he pulled the burger out and tore into it, mumbling a thank you.
“When you’re done, you can take some pain killers and I can help you take your shot, then you can take a shower, or you can shower and then I can help you with your shot,” Jacob suggested, kicking his boots off and moving to wrap his arms around Ezekiel.
“Don’t touch me. I’m fine. I don’t want to be touched,” Ezekiel snapped, moving away from Jacob.
“Alright, that’s fine. I’m sorry,” he raised his hands in surrender.
“How do you love me still when I talk to you so rudely?” The Australian asked, looking over at Jacob with curiosity. But also a bit of confusion.
“Because I know I’m overstepping and I know I’m being overbearing,” the southerner admitted. “And I apologize for that. I know any other time, you’d return my affections, but right now, you have a right to be snappish and I accept that. I still love you because that’s a part of who you are. Do you understand that?”
Ezekiel was still for a moment as he paused eating. “I- uh... I think so...”
He resumed eating, murmuring to himself about being stupid and that Jacob would always love him.
“Alright darlin’,” Jacob said. “When you’re finished, you tell me what you want to do. Shot then shower, or shower then shot.”
Ezekiel shoved the wrapper into the bag and munched on a couple fries.
“I want to shower,” Ezekiel said. “I feel dirty and gross and I just need to shower.”
Jacob nodded. “Alright. I’ll get you some clothes and a warm towel and some products from CVS. You like the ones with wings, right?”
Ezekiel nodded. “I think I still have some from last time.”
“Alright, well, just let me know if you need anything, okay?” Jacob asked.
He nodded again before getting up and wandering towards the bathroom to shower. He grabbed a towel on his way and locked the door behind him.
Jacob gathered clothes for Ezekiel and waited for him.
“You can come in now.” He heard the door unlock.
Jacob stepped in and handed Ezekiel the clothes. He noticed how Ezekiel avoided eye-contact with Jacob; and with himself. He didn’t look at himself as he got dressed. he looked away as he changed his pad.
“You want your shot now?” Jacob asked.
Ezekiel nodded and pulled his pants down a bit so it’s be easier for Jacob to administer the shot. He sat on the toilet as Jacob readied the needle.
Jacob stuck him quickly, then applied a small band-aid to it.
“Do you want to cuddle?” Jake asked softly, reacing for one of Ezekiel’s hands.
The Australian nodded, rubbing his eyes a bit and taking Jacob’s hand. “Yes please.”
Ezekiel laid with his back against Jacob’s torso. The other had his arms wrapped around his body with his warm hands pressed against his lower abdominals.
They were both asleep and comfortable. It wasn’t their ideal way to spend a day, but they wouldn’t have changed anything for the world.
