Orion took her pen away, “Stop working. Rest for today”
Lemira did feel off, suspecting her period might have also started.
As she stood up, she felt it–a telltale trickle. Her face stiffened, she knew it
Rushing to the bathroom, she found the dreaded red stain. Just her luck. Now what?
That was when she remembered she was at other people’s apartment, not her home. And she hadn’t bought any pads
She had planned to stop by the store after school, but then Dorian had confessed his feelings for her, and later Alaric had whisked
away.
In the end, she’d forgotten all about it.
Orion, growing worried outside after not seeing her come out, knocked on the bathroom door, “Fallin?”
Lemira hesitated, “Could you buy me something?”
“Sure, but come out first”
“I can’t, not just yet,” Lemira got a bit agitated
Orion’s frown deepened, “What’s up? Be honest”
“My period started,” her cheeks flushed as she admitted it
She grew up with brothers, who were all men, clueless about women’s issues. The first time she got her period, it was their mai had helped her out.
Onion stood by the door, “Menstrual period?”
“Yes,” her voice was soft, tinged with embarrassment. This was, after all, a private matter
Orion sighed in relief, “I go buy some. Just wait”

The clerk walked over “Looking for something for your girlfriend, handsome? Day or night use? We also have these gel–based ones, great for summer but a bit pricey”
Orion pointed with his slender finger, “All of them.”
“Everything?”
He nodded, an air of elegance about him, “Yeah”
“You might not need that much for a month. Maybe get one of each type to see what your girlfriend prefers?”
“Fine” Orion’s tone was bland.
The clerk quickly packed the items, then couldn’t help but add, “Does your girlfriend need some body warmers too?”
Onion paused, “Yes”
Grabbing a pack of body warmers and some chocolate, the clerk couldn’t help but envy the girl for having such a thoughtful and handsome boyfriend
As Orion walked back with his purchase, a man walked up to him, “Orion, what’s with the haul?

Thaddeus’s lips twitched, “If I’m not mistaken, those are pads?”
Since when Orion was so considerate? This didn’t bode well. The situation of him and that girl was doomed from the start.
