[fatuismooches]

Hiiii, I really wanted to ask for cold Dottore taking care of his darling who suffers from debilitating cramps during their period. He may grumble a bit when they're trying to stay close for him for comfort, but once he sees them practically fainting and falling against the laboratories floor he wastes no time with lifting them off the cold tiles and getting them into his bed, dropping everything he was doing to take care of them.

He's really concerned about them having a medical condition and apologizes for not noticing sooner, before getting them on painkillers and cuddling them when they're not warm enough to ease the pain further.

Despite your years of relationship with Dottore, he had remained the calm and reserved man he presented to others, even in your presence. Sure, there were times he'd soften, but that wasn't exactly the easiest task most of the time. Still, there were surefire situations where the scholar's sweeter side would come out.

Dottore was no stranger to taking care of you; after all, he very much cared about you enough to ensure you were in good health, although his words may not have matched the kindness of his actions. The same could be said for your periods - as a (not certified) doctor, he was aware of the general discomfort and side effects it could bring - but was uncharacteristically unaware of your particular experiences. So when you're out of bed and lingering around him, Dottore's tongue doesn't provide exactly the comforting words you're looking for, but that doesn't stop you from clinging to him, of course.

"You know that you're not supposed to be here. Go before I have someone put you back."

He doesn't push harder than that, mostly because he knows you'll withdraw after a while. Naturally, when he doesn't hear your retreating footsteps and instead the slumping of your body, any previous complaints wither up and die instantly. In hindsight, he should have guessed something was up when you were insistent on keeping close to him, and now he's having a whole internal discussion in his mind about his lack of attention toward you. But Dottore puts his foolishness to the back of his mind, which is now replaced by dozens of questions and concerns and a few hypotheses about your current state, as he quickly moves you to his bed and makes sure you're comfortable.

"... It was ignorant of me not to realize you were struggling this much. Now, don't move. You shouldn't fatigue yourself more than you already have," the scholar rubs your back in an awkward but worried manner.

Even with his genius and carefully developed medicine, there's only so much that can help you. But you can be sure you won't have to work or lift a finger, with a segment (or a few) at your beck and call. With as many hands as they have, it becomes a routine to have everything prepared around the start of your cycle, even if it's irregular. And of course, Dottore would never be dismissive of you or your pain, and will be with you whenever you need.
