Can we just lay here

Pairing: James Potter x fem!reader

Summary: You are on your period and in masses of pain but somehow your boyfriend just makes it all better.

—————————————————————————-

“You staying in bed today honey?” Your best friend Lily asks as she is currently getting ready for a Hogsmead trip that was planned with your group of friends.

Just the day before you had been hit with an unexpected visit from the period train. Unexpected because you had already had it once that month. You tended to have heavy and painful periods anyway but you could always seem to work through them without wallowing in bed. This time however was too painful to even get out of bed with cramps that seemed to radiate throughout your entire body.

“i think so yeah sorry” your weak voice called out from the semi comfortable position you had found in bed despite wriggling around all night.

“Don’t apologise babe! here is some pads and a bin as well as all the food you always hound me for” Marlene cuts in as she walks back into the shared dorm. She placed everything on the bedside table next to you and then moved to your other side to calmly stroke your hair knowing it helps you as well as her.

“You want us to get James?” Mary asks from laying on Lily’s bed. She has been patiently waiting for her girlfriend and one of her best friends to finish getting ready for about an hour and a half. She heard you moving around last night and noticed how long you were in the bathroom for, putting two and two together she knew you weren’t coming today.

“No no it’s ok you guys go and have fun!! Don’t worry about me but if u find yourself wanting to buy my a present feel free to act on that urge” You say to them as they all start to get up from positions on bed or in Lily’s case on the floor whilst finishing her hair. As much as all you want at that moment is your boyfriend, all of your friends are looking forward to a December walk around Hogsmead and you know James hasn’t been able to get out for a while due to Quiditch and so you don’t want to ruin this for them.

“Okay my darling love you”

“Feel better sunshine”

“i’ll get you something from ‘Dukes”

You hear a chorus of things being said but don’t actually see them leave as you have curled your blanket right around your head and moved into a tight fetus position.

———————————————————————-

“Fucking finally we have been waiting for you for decades”

“Calm down Sirius you impatient boy” Peter calls out to him as the boys heads swivel around to see the girls coming down the stairs. “we were barley waiting 10 minutes”

“Bloody feels like decades” Sirius mumbles under his breathe loudly but it earns him a wack on the shoulder from his boyfriend sat on the arm of the sofa next to him.

“You girls ready to go” James claps his hands together as he stands up out of the arm chair that Peter was sat in front of.

“Where’s y/n??” Remus voices and James does suddenly notice that you didn’t come down the stairs with the rest of the girls. To be honest he didn’t even notice the girls were down until Sirius started complaining.

“Bad period she is currently trying not to claw her uterus out upstairs” Marlene states openly which results in Lily giving her a harsh look and Mary giving her a soft hit to the back of her shoulder.

“She told us to go on though but buy her presents in return which i don’t think is a fair deal” Marlene carries on ignore the reprimands she got a second ago.

“Anyway moving on Marls” Lily announces when she sees the look of discomfort in the boys faces. “Periods aren’t disgusting assholes just painful so wipe that look off all your faces” she sternly says looking all of them in the eye so they know she means it.

“Hey you guys enjoy Hogsmead but i’m gunna makes sure she’s ok upstairs” James states to the group as he begins making his way through the group with an apologetic smile on his face but they all know he isn’t the least bit sorry about his choice.

“Give her a hug from me”

“try not to kill her”

“makes sure she’s comfortable”

James hears from his friends as he walks up the dormitory stairs but he doesn’t really listen all he takes into account his seeing you.

—————————————————————————-

You hear a soft knock on the door and you softly groan when u realise you have to get up to let them in.

You slowly move your legs out from under the duvet and wince slightly at the discomfort it brings you but you manage to make your way over to the door and trudge it open.

The person stood on the other side is an unexpected but warmly welcomed surprise when you are greeted by your boyfriend.

“Hi Jamie what are you doing here” you ask him with a horse and scratchy voice that makes him let out a breath that he didn’t know he was holding. Just hearing you in pain makes him uncomfortable and he just wants to do all that he can for you.

“Hiya love, i ditched the others and thought i’d come lay with you instead if that’s ok” he says walking into your dorm, a hand around you helping you manoeuvre back into your bed.

“You didn’t have to Jamie the girls gave me a care package earlier so i’m all set to wallow in my bed until i feel better” you state with a small smile trying to get comfortable again in bed which is proving hard until James climbs in as well. He shuffles close to you and pulls one of your legs over his and traces patterns on top of your pj bottoms you have on. His other arm goes around your shoulder which is also tracing patterns around any exposed skin you have. You sigh into him and lean your head on his shoulder feeling the most comfortable you’ve ever felt in that moment.

“I know, you all do one for each other every month it’s the best thing i’ve ever seen, but im here to make sure you aren’t lonely and just keep you comfortable” He kisses the top of your forehead and then rests his chin on your head which brings you a type of comfort you can begin to explain.

“Thank you Jamie, i needed this”

“You don’t need to thank me love, im your boyfriend i care about you all the time and i will always do this for you” He says softly as if he is trying to send you off to sleep and you aren’t ashamed to admit that it is working.

“Can i just lay here with you?” You sleepily ask through a light yawn. Your eyelids are getting much heavier and you have finally got comfortable and so are ready to catch up on the sleep you missed out on last night.

“You can do anything you want right now my love. I’ll be here when you wake up”

And with a final kiss to your forehead you are sent away into a deep slumber wrapped up in your living boyfriends arms.

The best place in the world.
