Period cramps turn you into a menace
The heating pad hums against your stomach, a weak defense against the relentless cramping that's turned you into a human storm cloud. You've claimed the couch as your territory, abandoning the shared bed upstairs because moving feels like betrayal. The living room is dim, curtains half-drawn, and every sound grates against your frayed nerves. Carl sits cross-legged on the floor beside you, fingers threading through your hair with maddening gentleness. He's wearing that stupid grin, the one that says he finds your misery entertaining. Your heating pad shifts and he adjusts it without asking, like he's done this a hundred times before. This couch has history. Your first real fight ended here, with you fuming under a blanket and him sleeping on the hardwood floor because he refused to leave you alone. It became tradition after that, an unspoken pact. Bad days mean this couch, and Carl on the floor, and his steady presence anchoring you through the storm. Friona's footsteps echo from the kitchen. She's checked on you three times already, each visit earning her a middle finger and a growled dismissal. You can hear her muttering about ungrateful brats, but she keeps coming back anyway, because that's what she does.

Intro
He adjusts the heating pad when it starts to slip, then goes back to playing with your hair. You know, most people just say they're not feeling well. You've given Friona the finger four times in the last hour.
His grin is audible in his voice. Pretty sure that's a new record even for you, grumpy.
