Chapter 36 – Feeling Groggy

Julia groaned as she left the bathroom. She couldn't believe that today of all days her time of the month had to kick in. She mentally kicked herself as she slipped back into her room and into something roomier than her usual skinny jeans and Rammstein shirt. She grabbed a hair band from her dresser and tied her hair back into a ponytail. She then headed back down stairs, into the kitchen, grabbed her favourite chocolate bar and into the living room. She slumped onto the couch and stared blankly at the television as it played some documentary that had started. Well, her plans for tonight were ruined and she would have to think of something quick before Frederick came over to spend the night.

As she shifted more on the couch to make herself comfortable, her darling sister, Monika, came in.

"Vhat's vrong viz you?" she asked as she shrugged into her leather jacket.

"My periods have decided to come early; completely lost track vhen I had zem last. Now, me und Frederick vill have to zink of somezing else to do."

Monika flinched. "I really didn't vant to know zat piece of information!"

Julia looked up at her younger sibling. "You mean to tell me you und Feliciana haven't done it?!"

Monika blushed. "I'm not discussing it viz you!"

Julia chuckled as her sister left the room. She then settled herself back on the couch and tried to get a little nap.

Around about five o'clock, Frederick pulled up in his car, picked up his bag of chocolates and wine from the passenger's seat and slid out of his car. He locked it and headed for the front door. He arrived on the little porch and rang the doorbell. The moon was at its fullest and it was a little chilly than usual as it was a spring day. He looked at the front door, wondering why Julia hadn't answered him. Usually, she would be at the door within a minute after he rang the bell and she 'glomp' him at the threshold. But today, was not one of those days. He leaned in towards the door and heard the soft patter of feet on carpet. Then a silhouette of a female appeared from behind the glass of the front door window and was pulled back to reveal Julia...who had seen better days.

"Hi, Frederick." She groaned and tottered over to hug him.

Smiling sadly, he returned the hug. "Hello, schatzi. Are you okay?" He felt her shake her head. "Vhat's vrong, Julia?"

She looked up at him, not backing away from the hug. "I'm on my damn periods!" she whined.

Frederick slumped. "Oh, dear."

"I know it's ruined my plans for tonight. I'm sorry, Frederick."

"Sorry for vhat? Julia, it's just part of being a voman. It'll be over in a few days."

"No, it von't. It'll be a whole veek!" the albino girl moaned, burying her face into his chest.

Fritz laughed. "I've suffered zrough zis before. Remember I do have a sister."

"Ja...so, vhat are we going to do?"

"Vell, it's a good zing I brought along zese boxes of chocolate und zis bottle of vine."

Julia perked up at the mention of chocolate and wine. "Really?" at Fritz's nod, she let out a whine of happiness and hugged her lover again. "Danke, Frederick."

"Zat's good to know. Now, come on, let's get inside before ve get cold."

Julia let go of him and pulled him inside. The house was warm, thankfully, and Fritz settled himself by the fire. Julia came back in with two glasses and a corkscrew. She settled herself in between Fritz's legs and snuggled up, his arms wrapped around her waist.

"You haven't had any pains or...?"

"Zis morning but it's okay now. I took some painkillers before I took a nap. So, don't vorry."

"Good girl." Fritz mumbled before pressing kisses on her neck making her giggle. "Vhy don't you ever call me Fritz?"

"'Cause, I don't like to...vell, not all ze time. I only ever call you zat in ze bedroom."

"I've noticed. But never in public, viz your friends."

"'Cause I don't want to."

"Come on, say it for me. Go on."

Julia pouted. "Nein."

"Please."

"No!"

Frederick raised an eyebrow and leaned in towards her ear and whispered. "Bitte."

By the firelight, Frederick could tell that his little Julia was blushing. He chuckled and pressed another kiss to her cheek. She didn't mind him speaking French when he spoke German...oh, boy! He knew what it did to her. But there was no way that she was going to let him play 'the fetish card'.

"Non!" she retorted, playfully.

Frederick blinked and rolled his eyes, knowing that he wouldn't get anywhere with Julia. The albino then noticed the bag of chocolates.

"So, vhat choccies did you get?" she asked, taking out the first box of chocolates. "Belgian?"

"Hmmm, Belle recommended zem."

"Vhy? You didn't tell her ve vere gonna have sex?"

"No, I didn't." Fritz said, appalled. "It vasn't easy trying to get in vizout being questioned by Elizabeta."

Julia growled whilst opening the chocolate box. "She can never butt out of ozer people's business."

"Vell, I zink Annaliese vas trying to distract her vhen she saw me."

"Did she now?" the girl snarled as she placed a chocolate in her mouth.

Fritz nodded. He took hold of the corkscrew and opened the wine. He then poured the white wine into the glasses and handed one to Julia as she fed him a piece of chocolate.

"Do you vant to vatch a film?" she asked.

"Vhat have you got in mind, liebe?"

Julia grinned and bounced over to the cabinet as Fritz settled back against the couch, loving the warmth from the fire and his lover.

At half twelve in the morning, Monika opened the door and gestured for the Italian to keep quiet. She nodded and followed her girlfriend inside. Last thing, she wanted as for her older sister to ruin her date when she, herself, was on a date. But as she entered the hallway, Monika heard nothing but muffled music.

"Feliciana, stay here a minute." The blonde whispered.

"Okay."

Monika walked over to the door that led to the living room. She carefully opened the door and peeked in. The living room was dark but only the soft embers in the fire and the T.V were the only light in the room. And there, leaning against the couch, a blanket over their legs and in a sleepy embrace was Fritz and Julia. Both fast asleep. A box of empty chocolates was next to them and another box was half empty and sitting on the table next to two wine glasses and a bottle that was also half empty. Monika smiled at the pair.

"Aw." said a voice, softly.

Monika looked round and saw Feliciana standing behind her, looking at the couple on the floor.

"I know." Monika whispered. She stepped into the room, turned off the T.V. and dosed the fire so that it was out completely.

"They're so cute together." Feliciano whispered back, as Monika joined her at the door. "I hope they get married one day."

Monika smiled. "Ja, me too." The two girls continued to watch them for a while until Feliciana back the silence.

"So," the Italian girl purred. "Shall we?" and she reached round from behind and squeezed Monika's breasts making her squeak.

This was going to be a long night...

A/N:

Hi, everyone and welcome to a chapter that has the topic of every girl's worst nightmare! Am I right female readers? We all feel like this and sometimes wish our boyfriends or girlfriends would help. When I go through this, I get no sympathy from my family, even my mother! But who can blame her? Now, in this I entered a little headcannon I have for Fem!Prussia is that she doesn't like to call Frederick by his nickname only by Frederick because she thinks it's more dignified than Fritz. But the only time she'll call him by his nickname when it gets a little NSFW, shall we say?

Also I hope you enjoyed the Fem!GerIta at the end. Anyways, hope you enjoyed this chapter, reviews are love.

M.S.P.
