Kagami Taiga | Period

Beep. Beep. Beep.

Opening the door a slender hand reaches into the microwaves pulling out a pink heart. Lifting up your shirt to tuck it beneath your chin, you pull the waistband of your sweats out sliding the heating pad down onto your abdomen.

“Sweet, sweet merciful god,” you groan out leaning against the counter. Unwrapping a Ghirardelli chocolate, you pop it into your mouth rolling the sweet across your tongue letting out a delighted moan. Resting your head onto your folded arms on the counter, you groan when a cramp hits you. Grunting you press down harder on the heated pad. Standing up you grab your Camelbak water bottle off the counter to take a drink. Feeling your pocket buzz, you bite onto the straw idly chewing on it while you pull your cell out typing in the passcode. “Son of a biscuit eater,” another cramp hits causing you to fold over in pain. Biting down hard on the straw while the cramp passes you thumb through your messages.

[Kagami Taiga]: Oi [Name] you want to play basketball?

[Name]: Not today.

Tucking the phone away, it vibrates again signaling a message.

[Kagami Taiga]:  Okay, how about tomorrow?

Lips twitching you bite down on the straw to keep the water bottle from slipping as you stroll towards the couch.

[Name]: No, ask me again in seven days.

You giggle slightly wondering if he is going to catch on or if you’re going to have to spell it out for him. Dropping down onto the couch you prop your feet up onto the coffee table stretching out your arm trying to find your stash of chocolate. Fingers brushing against a bag you grin, “Bingo,” pulling it towards you, you dig through the multicolored individually wrapped Ghirardelli chocolates pulling one out. Twirling the chocolate in your hand, you rip it open not bothering to look at the flavor before popping it into your mouth.

Making a face, you sit up looking for a place to spit, “Oh god, no ew! That’s disgusting,” forcing yourself to swallow you reach over for the package idly grabbing your water bottle swishing the taste out, “What the hell kind of flavor was that?”

Piecing the ripped package together, you scowl at the flavor, “Cherry? What the hell no just no,” digging through the assorted flavors you pull out all of the Cherry flavors tossing them onto the coffee table. Slumping back down into the couch you spot a golden wrapper, grinning.

“Caramel, always a reliable flavor,” smiling you tear the package biting the chocolate in half, “Oh yeah, better than sex chocolate. That’s what it should be called,” you mumble to yourself. Flipping the wrapper over glancing at the calories, “Why the hell am I reading this? Just going to eat it anyway,” you grumble feeling the heat from the pad start to fade. Phone vibrating you pull it back out typing in the passcode.

[Kagami Taiga]: Seven days…why seven days?

Snorting you grin chewing on the straw pondering if you should tell him or see if he catches on.

[Name]: Big red.

Smirking you stand up making your way back towards the microwave to stick your heating pad in for another three minutes. You frown punching in the time you hop onto the counter waiting for the pad considering buying an electric heating pad. 

[Kagami Taiga]: Big red?

Grinning to yourself, you stretch out your hand frowning when your hand comes in contact with nothing. Glancing up from your phone you flush with embarrassment glad that no one is there to see you gorging on chocolate, “Oh on the couch,” you mumble to yourself contemplating if you want to hop down to get it.

[Name]: Tom…

Kicking out your legs, you sigh resting the back of your head against the cabinets waiting for the microwave to hurry up. You pat yourself on the back for the clever acronym knowing his hotheaded response is to come.

[Kagami Taiga]: Who the hell is Tom?

Laughing you clutch your stomach groaning when a cramp passes, “Hurry up you stupid heating pad,” you scowl glancing up at the microwave counting down the timer. Ripping open the appliance before the time ends you grab the pad shoving it down your shorts pressing it onto your abdomen. Growing tired of your game, you start typing obvious clues.

[Name]: Aunt flow…red dot day…monthly buddy…

Hopping off the counter, you make your way back towards the couch plopping down. Lifting up the remote, you flip on the television trying to distract yourself from the pain.

Scowling when you spot the pill bottle you grab it twisting it to see the instructions, “Directions: Adults and Children twelve years and older: take two caplets with water. Repeat every six hours, as needed, up to a maximum of six caplets per day. Bullshit, the two pills aren’t doing crap…” scratching your nose you open the bottle dumping out two more, “Two more wouldn’t hurt,” you mumble popping the pills into your mouth you take a sip of water swallowing them.

[Kagami Taiga]: What the hell are you talking about? And you never answered who Tom was…

Rolling your eyes you decide to ignore him, sweeping your hair out of your eyes you lean back tossing the pill bottle up into the air. Grabbing another chocolate, you shove it into your mouth chewing slowly as you scroll through the movie selections. Pocket vibrating you sigh sliding your thumb up, “Moshi moshi?” you answer around a mouth full of chocolate already knowing whom it is.

“[Name], whose is Tom? And why seven days?” A familiar masculine voice comes through the phone, giggling you sigh tossing the pill bottle up into the air.

“Taiga you seriously haven’t figured it out?” You question quirking your eyebrow, pulling the bag of chocolate towards you, you dig through it seeking out another flavor. “Figured out what? You never answered my question,” Kagami states, you grin when you hear his irritation coming through the phone. “What question?” You cheekily reply laughing at his huff.

“Who is Tom and what is the seven days about?” He grunts. Hearing voices on the other line you tilt your head, “You at the park?” You question catching him off guard.

“Uh yeah, playing basketball with some of the guys and Coach is here too. I wanted to know if you wanted to come play. Hey, you’re changing the subject!” He growls.

“Not true! I heard voices and became curious geeze. Maybe you need some chocolate and Midol,” you grumble at your boyfriend pouting. Eyes widening you perk up when you remember what Kagami said, “Taiga ask Riko about Tom, Aunt flow, and Big red,” you grin evilly imaging the look of mortification soon to come on Kagami’s face sad that you’re not there to see it.

Hearing the phone being shifted in his hand, you pull your bottle of water towards you chewing on the straw, “Yo Coach! Who is Tom…uh Aunt Flow, and Big Red?” You hear Kagami yell out assuming that it is at Riko. Holding the phone away from your ear you burst out laughing. Snorting you cover your mouth setting down your phone you put it on speaker waiting to hear her response.

“W-what? Bakagami you don’t just yell that out!” You hear a feminine voice yell followed by her laughter. Imagining the smirk on Riko’s face at the chance of being able to humiliate Kagami you bite your lip. “Tom is an acronym for ‘Time of Month.’ It means she is on her period. Aunt flow like a visit from-”

“I get it!” Kagami yells out his voice hitching slightly with mortification masculine laughter can be heard on the other line from the guys on the court.  Not able to hold it in you burst out laughing, “Taiga, I can’t believe you actually yelled that out!” You laugh tipping over to hold your stomach. “Oh god, I can’t breathe,” you giggle wiping the tears from your eyes. Hearing a growl from the other side of the line, you chuckle when you hear the line die. Taking a deep breath, you sigh laughing occasionally.

“Good, maybe he will leave me alone about playing basketball now,” you yawn. Feeling your phone vibrate you glance down your eyes widening you smirk at the name, “Ohayō Riko,” you greet wearing a shit-eating grin. “You’re evil,” an amused tone can be heard in her voice, “I can’t believe you told him to yell that.”

Stifling your laughter, you can image Riko shaking her head at you, “I never told him to yell it at you, I just told him to ask you. Bakagami’s fault for screaming it,” you grin. “Well, now the whole world knows that you’re on your period,” Riko replies.

Shrugging you, open up a raspberry chocolate shoving it into your mouth, “So? Taiga shouldn’t be so shocked by that piece of information. It’s not like periods just magically disappear once you start dating. It generally happens every month, I’m surprised he hadn’t figured it out Monday when I snapped at him,” you shake your head remembering your touchy moment.

Snorting is heard through the line, “Well he probably didn’t really think about it since it was in the morning and you’re generally not a morning person anyway,” Shrugging you open up a dark chocolate biting into it.

“It’s been like what? A year? He was bound to notice a pattern when I was on my period or at least pick up on it since we have been dating that long,” pressing your hand down onto the heating pad you sigh. “He’s a guy, Bakagami isn’t going to figure that out right away at least. Anyways I thought I would just give you a heads up, Kagami is headed your way.” Eyes bugging out you sit up chocking on your chocolate, “What?” You yell, “Yes, as soon as I told him, Kagami hung up stalking off the court.”

“Oh shit,” you grumble, “Oh shit is right,” she replies laughing. You stand up kicking the blanket half-assedly to the side. Stepping forward you let out a scream as you trip over the infuriating fabric landing on your stomach onto the floor groaning.

“[Name]! You okay?” Her worried voice is heard through the phone.

Stretching out your hand you grab your phone pulling it towards your ear, “Yes, just biffed it,” you grunt kicking your legs out from the blanket. Hearing laughing you scowl, “Shut it, anyways I got to go barge the door before he gets-”

Loud knocking is heard on your apartment door followed by a gruff voice, “[Name] open up,” Kagami’s voice comes through the door. “Fuck,” you mumble, “Riko I have to go, the Tiger is here,” you whisper crawling towards the door.

Snorting is heard followed by a sigh, “Have fun,” Riko replies.

“Arigatō, later,” you quickly hang up rolling across the floor you bite your lip to keep from laughing imaging how dumb you look. Sliding up against the door, you reach up flipping the security door guard latch across locking it.

“I know you’re there, I heard you fall onto the floor,” Kagami replies trying the knob. Hearing jingling you peek through the peephole watching as Kagami digs into his pocket pulling out the key to your apartment. Spotting a smirk on his face you smirk right back your eyes flick up at the security latch knowing once he gets the deadbolt Kagami still won’t be able to open the door all the way unless you flip the latch. Biting your lip to keep from giggling, you step back watching as Kagami unlocks the last lock pushing the door open only for it to jerk to a halt.

“Dammit why did I install that?” he grunts out. Stepping in his line of sight you grin, “Why hello, are we having problems?” you question your eyes lighting up with mischief. Frowning Kagami scowls at you, “Of course not babe,” he bites the last part out. Laughing, you lean against the door jam glancing up at his handsome scowling face, “Oh okay, if you’re fine then I’ll just leave you alone,” you smile pressing your hip against the door to push it in. Kagami presses his weight against the door holding it open wearing a slight smirk. Huffing you stare up at him through the two-inch gap, “Not fair,” you pout shoving your weight against the door trying to shut him out.

“No, what’s not fair is you using that damn door latch on me,” Kagami furrows his brows staring down at you. “It’s handy,” you smile cheekily up at him laughing he frowns. “Tche remind me to take it off once I get in. Now open up,” he grumbles the last part. “Hell no! It’s protecting me now and no way you’re just going to tickle me,” you smile groaning when a cramp hits, “Seriously?” Lifting up your shirt you pull the heating pad out from your sweats, “ What the hell are you doing? Hey put your shirt down!” he flushes his red eyes wide, grinning you laugh.

“What? It’s just a heating pad,” you lift the lavender scented pad turning around you walk towards the kitchen, “Be right back, I’m going to heat this up,” you call out.

“Not like I’m going anywhere,” he calls back sourly. Your giggle rings throughout the apartment causing Kagami to smile softly at the sound. Walking back out towards the couch, you grab your bag of chocolate sitting by the door you slide down the wall taking a seat onto the floor.

Unwrapping a chocolate you shove it into your mouth, glancing up when you feel Kagami’s intense gaze you smile holding up the bag, “Do you want one?” You wave it back and forth watching his red eyes follow the chocolate.

Sighing Kagami slides down against the other side of the door leaning his head against the frame knowing you won’t be opening the door for a while, “Sure,” Kagami holds his hand out.

“Okay, um what flavor? There is almond, blackberry, caramel, cherry which taste horrible,” you make a disgusted face at that one making Kagami chuckle, “Cookies & Crème, double chocolate, fudge, grape, hazelnut, mint, mocha, raspberry, orange, sea salt, toffee, and truffle,” you trail off.

“Damn I didn’t know they had that many flavors,” you mumble underneath your breath shifting the bag in your hand. “Surprise me,” he replies twirling a basketball in his hand.

“Hmm,” digging through the bag you pull out a mint passing it through the two-inch gap. Taking it from you Kagami opens the package popping it into his mouth letting out a groan, “Do you like it?” you question tilting your head, “Yeah, that’s excellent. Would be better if I was in there sitting by you,” he trails off.

“Smooth Taiga, very smooth. But there is no way I’m letting you in,” sighing Kagami thumps his head against the door, “I promise I won’t tickle you when you let me in,” Kagami shoves his pinky through the gap. Quirking your lips you lean back, “You mean ‘if’ I let you in,” scowling Kagami pulls his pinky back.

Catching his pinky in yours, you giggle deciding that you have tortured your boyfriend enough, “Promise?” You question, sighing Kagami nods his lips quirked a bit. “Step back,” jumping up from your spot on the floor you push the door in unlatching the door. Your eyes widening at the smirk on Kagami’s face as he lifts up his other hand, which is crossed at the fingers, “Kidding,” he grins bolting forward to grab you.

“Hey, you lied!” You scream dropping your chocolates on the floor you take off towards your room. Grinning Kagami shuts the door behind him with his foot locking the door, “Who was the one who made me yell the ‘Big Red’ and ‘Tom’ thing out?”

He calls out, giggling you yell back, “Bakagami I never told you to scream it! Besides I thought you would figure it out by yourself!” Squealing when you feel his fingers graze your shirt you reach your room laughing, Kagami places his hands on your hips pulling you back towards him.

Glancing up you giggle at his frown, “Don’t call me that,” he huffs out sliding his fingers against your side making you squirm. Squealing you grip the frame of the door trying to escape, “Stop it!” You cry out laughing, “No,” he replies wearing a grin. Peals of laughter escape your lips as Kagami gently pushes you into your room guiding you towards the bed. You let out a squeal when the back of your legs hit the bed causing you to fall onto it, “H-hey!”

You cry out batting his hands, “You asked for it,” Kagami replies grinning. Smiling back, you groan hunching over holding your abdomen. Red eyes widening Kagami pulls his hands back panicking, “O-oi [Name] you okay?” Kagami questions his hands hovering over your body trying to figure out what he should do, peeking open an eye you grin scrambling off the bed, “Yes! The drugs finally kicked in!”

Running down the hall, you laugh at the sound of him cursing. Skidding to a halt in the kitchen you reach up pulling the heating pad out of the microwave placing it on your abdomen sighing in relief.

Hearing footsteps you lift your head spotting your boyfriend leaning against the entryway of the kitchen holding your bag of chocolates in his hand, “Now that was cheating,” Kagami shakes his head digging through the bag.

“Nope,” you reply popping your lips on the 'P,' “I would like to think of it as using the situation to my advantage,” you cheekily grin. Shifting the bag of candy in his hand, Kagami pulls out a pink chocolate tearing the wrapper off. Reading the flavor Kagami shrugs biting it in half, “Not bad,” he mumbles.

“That’s mine,” you frown.

Lifting his gaze, Kagami grins, “Not anymore,” chuckling when he see’s you pout. Kagami slowly makes his way towards you. Pulling out another piece of chocolate, he places it between his teeth, tossing the bag of chocolate behind you. Lifting you up Kagami sets you onto the counter pulling the bag towards him, “Alright,” he mumbles around the chocolate, resting his hips between your legs.

Furrowing his red brows Kagami glances at the flavors pulling some chocolate out he places them on the counter picking a flavor. Glancing up you spot the chocolate resting between his lips. Leaning forward, you attempt to bite the other half pouting Kagami pulls the chocolate into his mouth with his tongue.

“No, you don’t,” Kagami grins at the scowl on your face. Opening your mouth to retort your eyes widen when a chocolate is pushed between your lips. Using his fingers Kagami tilts your chin up, “Hold still,” he commands. Lowering his head Kagami bites the other side of the chocolate smirking at the blush on your face. Pulling back, you and Kagami make a disgusted face as you chew, “God that was gross,” furrowing his red brows he reaches out grabbing the wrapper looking at the flavor.

“Ew that was cherry,” you blanch stretching out your arm to grab a glass from the cupboard you run it underneath the faucet quickly drinking the water. “Here,” you hold the glass out to Kagami once you washed it down.

“Arigatō,” he grunts, “I thought I picked them all out,” you frown grabbing the bag from him you dig through it scowling when you spot more cherries. “I agree, that flavor is nasty throw it out,” Kagami wipes his hand across his mouth resting his palms on the counter watching you as you pull more out. Picking up a handful of chocolates you throw them one by one at the trash.

“Give me one,” Kagami grins. Tossing the chocolate towards the garbage Kagami smiles, “Bet I can get more in than you,” he challenges. “You’re on!” You grin picking up two cherry flavors you throw them at the garbage pumping your fist when they go in. “four to one,” you cheer.

“Hey! One at a time, besides we need to split them up,” Kagami points toward the remaining two pieces of chocolate. “Oh! I have more on the coffee table I dug the cherry flavor out earlier. I thought I got them all,” you pout double-checking the bag.

“I’ll be back,” Kagami squeezes your thigh striding out from the kitchen. Swinging your legs like a kid, you pull the heating pad out shoving it into the microwave for another three minutes. Ripping open mocha, you bite into it trying to rid your mouth of the cherry flavor. Crumpling the wrapper you toss it at the trashcan grinning as it sails in.

“Nice shot,” Kagami compliments walking back in with the remaining cherry chocolates in his hand. “I know,” you grin cheekily your smile widening at the sound of his deep chuckle. “Don’t get too cocky,” Kagami shakes his head smirking.

“I would never,” you reply placing a hand on your heart and batting your eyelashes.

Rolling his red eyes Kagami splits the eight pieces of chocolate up, “We are starting over if you miss the trashcan loser has to eat the cherry flavor,” he grins. “Deal!” you shake Kagami’s hand smiling, raising your arm to throw it Kagami halts your progress, “Hold on.” Walking across the room, he shoves the trashcan back towards the entryway of the kitchen.

“And how the hell is that fair?” You cry out. Chuckling Kagami stands between your legs pressing his hips against the counter facing you, “Fine, I’ll throw the chocolate from over my shoulder into the trash. Is that better?” He questions.

Nodding Kagami shakes his head grinning at the determined expression on your face, “Ready? Go!” Picking up the chocolate, you throw it across the room whooping as it sails in, frowning when Kagami’s chocolate easily sails into the basket. “What the hell?” You furrow your brows, watching as Kagami tosses it over his shoulder with ease into the trash.

“Damn basketball player,” you mumble receiving a chuckle from Kagami you steal some of his chocolates to throw across the room watching as sails into the trashcan. “Quit stealing mine!” He grunts out tickling your side causing you to miss, “Hey! I’m not eating that!” You pout pointing towards the chocolate on the floor, “you cheated!”

“I cheated? You stole my chocolate lowering my chance of more points,” Kagami fires back grinning, you swat the piece of chocolate from his hand making it fall to the floor, “Hey you touched it last, you have to eat it!” You grin, Kagami scowls, “Not how the game goes!” 

“Nu-uh it was your chocolate and it fell on the floor!” You giggle smiling up at him, making a face Kagami stares at the chocolate on the floor. “If I eat this one, you have to eat that one,” he points towards your chocolate by the trashcan.

Frowning you nod, “Fine,” striding over Kagami picks up the cherry chocolate walking back towards you. Unwrapping the offending piece of candy you lift it towards your lips watching as he does the same, “Okay, on the count of three.”

“One,” sniffing it you frown, “Two,” he tosses the wrapper onto the counter, “Three!” You call out your eyes light up with mischief as you shove the chocolate into his mouth tossing yours into the trash.

“Hey!” He growls out, “I already ate two, I’m not eating a third,” you comment poking your tongue out. Smirking Kagami leans forward gripping your chin to press his lips against yours, “Ew Taiga no!” You cry out laughing, feeling his smile against your cheek Kagami bites your lower lip causing you to gasp allowing him to shove his tongue into your mouth chuckling when you jerk back.

“Ugh, I hate that flavor,” you gag reaching out for the glass of water. Laughing he steals the glass, “Yeah that’s pretty bad,” he grunts taking a drink. Digging into the chocolate bag you hurriedly unwrap a caramel shoving it into your mouth, “Oh yeah, the better than sex flavor,” you moan grinning at the blush on Kagami’s face. 

“Here try this,” you hold up a caramel towards Kagami, stretching out his hand you jerk the candy back, “No, no let me feed you,” you grin. Arching his eyebrow Kagami glances down at you warily, “It’s Caramel, the better than sex chocolate. I promise, see?” Holding up the wrapper he opens his mouth allowing you to place the chocolate in, “It’s good yeah?” you question watching as Kagami chews, “Yep, probably my favorite flavor so far.” 

“Better than the one you choose,” you retort giggling.

“I didn’t know it was cherry,” he frowns. Picking up a mint, you open the package up placing it between your teeth, tilting your head back you look up at him expectantly. Smirking Kagami leans down biting the other half flushing at the fell of your lips against his, “Minty,” you murmur.

Lowering your hand to press onto your abdomen you notice that the heating pad is missing, “Oops,” you grimace remembering that you left the pad inside of the microwave. Reaching your hand into the microwave you sigh when you feel that the heat is once again diminishing. Punching in the time you lean back against the cabinet waiting for it to finish.

“That heating pad isn’t very effective,” Kagami comments eyeing the microwave, “That is about the second time you have heated it up since I have been here.”

“Tche probably about the twentieth time I have heated it up all together today,” you grumble. “I’ll get you an electric one,” he comments idly tracing his thumbs on your thighs causing you to squirm. “Taiga,” you warn glancing up at him. Arching his red eyebrows Kagami glances down smirking to himself, he increases the pressure sliding his hands up your side to tickle you causing you to squirm on the counter.

“If I kick you where the sun don’t shine it’s not my fault,” you warn watching as his red eyebrows shoot up. “No thanks,” Kagami steps back from the counter placing a hand over his crotch.

Hearing the microwave beep, you open it up grabbing your lavender heart-heating pad jumping off the counter. Swaying you grin, “Woo I feel great, those drugs are awesome!” You cheer taking a step forward only to collapse.

“[Name]!” He calls out catching you, glancing down at your flushed face Kagami shakes his head sweeping your legs out from underneath he carries you bridal style towards the couch. Lying you down Kagami tries to escape the grasp you have around his neck, “Damn she’s strong,” he grumbles.

Smiling lazily you tighten your hold around his neck, “I love you,” you murmur nuzzling your nose against his. Missing the flushed look on his face Kagami finally manages to escape your hold laying you gently on the couch.

Spotting a bottle of pills, Kagami reaches out grabbing it reading the label, “[Name] how many did you take?” His red brows furrow together as he reads the warnings. “May cause drowsiness or dizziness that could be why she fainted,” Kagami makes a disapproving grunt. Hearing light snoring Kagami lifts his gaze smirking at the peaceful look on your face.

Your hair falls down onto your nose causing you to scrunch it in your sleep. Chuckling Kagami gently sweeps your hair back tucking it behind your ear. Spying a blanket Kagami places it on top of your tired form, “I love you too [Name],” he mumbles pressing a kiss against your forehead smiling softly at the smile on your face.
