(This fic is about periods and all that jazz so reader has she/her pronouns)

You lay with a carefully woven blanket, hands gently clutching your abdomen as a soft sigh of pain escapes your lips. D'Vorah didn't experience the menstrual cycle as human women did, but in some sorts she helped as much as she could. The blanket was woven out of her own silk - surprisingly soft - and you'd thanked her greatly.

She was all you had when Kotal Kahn was away, the emperor was a busy man. As much as he disliked leaving his lover, this matter was an important one and so he entrusted you to his faithful second in command.

You sucked in a breath when another sharp pain struck you in your abdomen, your muscles contracting and pushing some more blood out. You couldn't get comfortable. Everything hurted.

You heard the soft chitter of D'Vorah and her critters outside your door, she'd obviously heard your noises of discomfort from outside and had listened to see if you had settled again or not. You'd forgotten how D'Vorah had such motherly instincts over her dangerousness.

The door gently creaked open, revealing the woman just in your thoughts a moment ago, she blinked and tilted her head, "This one heard your distress..do you need anything?"

You sniffed gently, another bout of sudden sadness was coming along, you could feel it, "No thank you, D'Vorah. Just a little sore."

D'Vorah nodded, there was little she could do about the natural ways of your body other than offer a shoulder to cry on, "The emperor will be arriving home soon, if that helps."

A small, wide-eyed bug peeked out of the gap in D'Vorah's belly. It chittered and squeaked in your direction, you glanced to D'Vorah for a translation. She gave a soft smile, "My little one senses your sadness, she wants your attention."

D'Vorah placed the noisy larvae in your arms, the little bug instantly made itself at home and nestled into the crook of your arm in an attempt to alleviate the stress and sadness you were radiating.

To be honest, it worked.

Both of you settled into a comfortable silence, the little larvae resting comfortable on your lap as you petted her gently. D'Vorah watched, a soft smile gracing her features. You opened your lips to say something to her but you were instead cut off by the thumping footsteps rapidly approaching.

The larvae on your lap squealed gently upon hearing Kotal enter the room, his footsteps were heavy and most likely frightening for a little bug. It was hard for Kotal to be quiet though, he couldn't exactly sneak around when he was 6'8 and nearly 300 pounds heavy.

You handed the larvae off to D'Vorah and bid her a goodbye. Kotal shut the door behind her and turned to you with a certain look in his eye, he had saw you wince upon standing to greet him, "Are you injured?"

You growled and shoved his hand off of your lower back, "No. It's just that time of the month, you big idiot." You grumbled, briefly relishing in the flash of realisation that went across Kotal's face.

"I know not a remedy, but maybe something that will assist you in your time of need." Kotal Kahn's voice dipped into an almost sleepy tone, and sent a shiver up your spine. His large hands wrapping around your waist and lifting you onto his lap, allowing you to lean back against his expansive chest.

You let out a pleased hum, it felt nice to be held in a strong embrace, your hand landed on Kotal's own one around your waist, he pressed a kiss to the top of your head, "Has D'Vorah been treating you well in my absence?"

"She's been wonderful company. I'd even go as far as to say she's better company than you." You chuckled jokingly, patting his hand.

You inhaled sharply when a bolt of pain hit your abdomen once more, fuck those cramps were harsh to you. You curled in on yourself a little when more blood suddenly escaped you. Kotal hummed inquisitively, his hands coming to rest on your abdomen.

You tensed when he began to apply pressure, afraid of accidentally leaking blood onto him, not like he would care anyway. It was rhythmic, slow, almost soothing. Kota's warm hands rubbing the sore spot's of your body as you leant against him, almost asleep.

You felt the rigidness in your muscles almost fade away as your lover lathered attention onto your beautiful skin, you sighed dreamily, your eyes slowly fluttering closed, the last thing you heard being your lovers light-hearted chuckle.

Kotal pressed a loving kiss to your cheek, laying you down next to him, he draped a blanket over you both. Pulling you closer, he sighed happily when you instinctively nestled your head into his neck. He enjoyed the closeness greatly.

He stroked your hair gently, pressing a kiss to the top of your head, "I will see you in the morning, my love."
