FTM POV - he doesn't know how to comfort you. Period comfort. You run away with Johnny after he killed Bob, and at the worst time your period comes.

Fuck, why did everything have to always go wrong? Being born like this. Bleeding and cramping every single month for a week. And just at the worst time.

After arriving at the church, you and Johnny had gone out to buy stuff knowing your names could be in the paper for killing Bob sooner or later. You two went to bed as soon as the sun's golden rays started to turn to a deep blue. Sleeping helped pass the time, so you two got as much of it as you could.

Johnny didn't know what to do when you started, hugging you while you sobbed into his shoulder, resting his hand on your lower stomach. Nothing seemed to really help relieve the pain from your cramps. It all seemed helpless. It was a gamble between possibly getting arrested by leaving the church and buying medicine. If you two got caught, who knows what would happen. And Dally would be pissed out of his mind.

Johnny stared down at you, his grip on his side tightening as his other hand rubbed along your stomach. He didn't know all the basic stuff about periods or anything, too embarrassed about it all. "Do you need anything?" he asked, his tone low and gentle.
