I need more Carter stuff like this...

carter but his s/o is on their period? idk man im just going through it and need some carter comfort HAHA 😅

this is an absolute emergency dont worry i gotchu

Carter comforting his S/O who's on her period:

This man, at first, is fucking clueless. Don't take that as he doesn't know what periods are; he does, it's just since female spartans don't have periods, he's never actually been exposed to it.

Carter knows that females experience major cramps and pain, so he'll buy his S/O pain-killers and search for heating pads.

While he's at it though, his S/O will have to tell him to buy either tampons or pads, and this man is absolutely fucking dedicated. You bet your damn ass he'll go to the store in his armor to the women's section to pick up the necessities... also he'll buy cleaning supplies because I do HC Carter to be a clean freak (as in germs n' all that, his room is a fucking mess).

Now he's heard of the horrors of other women going through their period, one of the tales that was commonly spread around being the terrifying mood swings. He got the chance to experience it himself when his S/O when on a fucking rampage and trashed the mess hall, then right after, burst into tears over a dropped apple.

Needless to say, he makes sure she's satisfied from now on.

Carter won't always be at her beck and call though, he's a spartan. What he does though is buy a huge amount of whatever her cravings are, along with other extras that she might crave later on as a precaution. Furthermore, he occasionally has Six check up on his S/O every now and again, if Carter can't be there himself.

He lets her cuddle with him when he's finally able to get a break; he's super big and warm, so sometimes she lays on top of him to help the cramps instead. Hey man, free cuddles.

You know what would be badass? If in a future Halo Infinite DLC, we meet a female Spartan-IV in Jorge’s armor coating wielding a minigun and she takes off her helmet then it’s revealed that it’s this girl:

Sweet Silence - Carter-A259 x Antonia-B312 oneshot

AU where Noble Team lives

Carter stared up at the ceiling of his new bunk. He hadn't been able to sleep since Noble Team was moved to the Persephone's Wrath. He wasn't sure if he'd ever get used to the purring of the ships engine or the humming of the air vents. And this metal arm still hung heavy on his shoulder. Kat told him he'd definitely grow into it but he wasn't so sure. It creaked whenever he moved and the metal shifted uncomfortably against his skin whenever he rolled onto his side.

'I can't sleep like this', he thought, sitting up and running a hand into his dark hair. He reached over, picked up his glasses and put them on. Swinging his legs off the bed he stood up and limped out of the room into the dimly lit hallway. He paused seeing a familiar stature standing at the large space-open window. Her arms were crossed and the familiar rose sleeve warmed his chest more than he cared to admit. Antonia's hair was starting to grow out again from the accident on Reach. Slowly walking towards her, she turned her head swiftly making him stop in his tracks.

"Can I join you? Or am I not allowed?" He smiled a bit. Toni's eyes squinted through the darkness before smile crossed her face.

"I forget you wear glasses, Commander." She laughed softly. Melodic. For a 'weapon' so highly acclaimed by ONI, Carter wasn't sure how else to describe Toni beyond stunning. She was battle worn and ripped at the edges but somehow that just made her more...appealing. And her voice...damn. There was the slightest hint of a typical southern accent in her tone but not overwhelmingly so- it was low and soothing. She had the kind of voice that could put you to sleep, but not in the way of being bored with what she was talking about. Dark hair that was now neatly cut into layers that could be pushed into an even ponytail, and copper eyes that saw right through Carter. "Commander?"

"Sorry," he shook his head and walked up next to her, leaning against the window and looking out among the endless void of stars. "Any idea where we're going?"

"No sir, but the UNSC still doesn't make a habit of telling me anything due to my...history." Toni pulled aimlessly at a straying piece of hair. "Gaining their trust is a process. I've been told they aren't telling you anything either...?" She glanced at him. Carter tightened his jaw and looked away from her, he couldn't stand that hurt look in her eyes. In his report, Carter had fo include that he had grown closer to Toni than anyone intially expected. Fratnization. They allowed it under the circumstance of stress in a delicate situation but now they wouldn't tell anyone on Noble Team anything in fear of the intel being compromised by Toni's ex-agency: SPLINTER. It was also encouraged that the Lieutenant and Commander remain separated under normal circumstances. A chaperone should be present and the two were to never be alone together.

Of course, they found ways around this and Noble was happy to assist the two in handling...whatever this was. Carter still didn't know what it was. He'd kissed her maybe twice but he'd never forget it. He'd never longed for something like that so emotionally and physically, and it made his stomach churn. He was supposed to be the stoic cold leader of Noble team and he'd softened his heart to a woman with pretty eyes, a sweet voice and a tragic past. It didn't help that Toni didn't know what the hell she was doing either.

Her linking her pinky with his metal hand made him snap out of his daze. He stared at their hands for a second before sighing and pulling her to his chest with a low, 'come here'. He clutched her in a tight hug and relished the tight squeeze Toni gave him in return. Her head was warm against his neck but she seemed to have calmed down. Rubbing the back of her neck with his good hand, he rested his chin onto the top of her head. "Are you alright?"

"Not really," she laughed quietly. "I hate that you're being dragged just because of...this." she fell silent. "Do you regret it?"

"I regret a lot of things, Antonia. You are not one of them." Carter said sternly pushing her back to look at her face, "Look at me. I'm serious. We both have been through a lot...we deserve this." He muttered. Toni's eyes searched his face before she smiled softly and nodded.

"If you say so Carter," and in the way she said his name, he tilted her chin up and kissed her.

A Cage (Carter-A259 x Antonia-B312)

a what if Noble Team pushed the Covenant off Reach scenario.

Antonia's eyes were looking everywhere except the Commander. He looked like he wanted to speak, and yet he didn't. The silence between them was deafening and she couldn't quite find any of the words she truly wanted to say. The Covenant had been bullied off of Reach and now the six-team members sat amongst each other, eating dinner. Emile and Jun were busy asking Kat trivia questions that she answered before they even finished their statements- making the man make cheering noises. Jorge, next to Toni, would chuckle every now and again. She could feel his eyes boring into her skull at times, but he never said anything.

Then again...what could he possibly say? Toni felt her stomach churn and immediately stood to her feet, grabbing her tray and walking it to the trashcan, silencing the table of SPARTANs as she swiftly moved down the hallway. She couldn't keep sitting across from Carter and pretending like nothing was happening. Especially after what happened in the cave- what was there between them? Was there anything at all? The entire situation made her quite tense, to be honest, and she wasn't really a fan of it. She'd been searching for outlets in a hundred different ways but still couldn't seem to find a hobby that would simply let her be. There had to be something besides fighting that could catch her interest. She found love in art but there wasn't a sheet of blank paper to be seen in the base.

She didn't know what she felt for Carter. The entire concept of feeling- of feelings- was new to her. How was she supposed to figure this out by herself? And it wasn't like she could just go to Kat about it for what could be considered 'girl-talk'. Everyone knew something went down between those two, and while Toni wasn't stellar at understanding how other people and relationships worked, she knew enough to not approach someone's ex about having feelings for them. If Kat could really even be considered that. Could she? Toni paused for a second in the hallway, leaning an arm against the wall next to her bunk's doorway and rubbing her brow. This had gone too far...she needed some air. Her eyes scanned the hallway for passing Marines before she made a quick glance over her shoulder. Nobody had followed her...she could just make a bolt for the door at the very end of the hallway. Going back the same way would allow Noble to see her leave the building entirely which in itself; would raise too many questions that she didn't really wanna answer.

It would only be a couple minutes and if no one had come after her when she left the chow-hall, odds were that they just would give her the space she needed altogether. Noble was a group of good people, they understood what it was like to just need space. Carter especially understood that...maybe that's why she liked him so much.

NO. No, she didn't like her Commander- she did not like Carter. That thought did not just cross her mind.

Except it had. And now it was stuck there, now it sure as hell wasn't going anywhere. She was stuck. Yep. Air. She needed air- Toni desperately needed air. She made a beeline right for the hallway's exit, not even acknowledging Marines who paused to salute her when she passed them. She broke the cold air of Reach, inhaling the dirty-dust-filled air. She took a long breath and looked over at the garage. Aarons...Grief had run its course, but she still felt empty when she saw Jaxon's old workspace. She was certain that feeling was never going to go away. Carter and Jorge had their talks, and Emile of course had given her the lecture of understanding. Toni stared for a moment longer before exhaling and walking down the metal steps of the small exit ramp and porch. Her heavy boots shook the metal beneath her feet, though it was quieter than her armor boots.

Which was relieving. While some attention was certainly drawn to her, seeing as she was larger in stature compared to the soldiers and Marines around her, nobody stared as long. Pulling her sleeves over her hands, she crossed her arms and walked to the gate, just to look out over the winding and rolling hills of Reach. She remembered the warthog jumping and gliding over those dirt roads. And god: that damn lecture that Aarons gave.

A smile slipped across Toni's face as she continued to stare off over the hills. Dark grey clouds loomed over the terrain today, and it seemed like Mother Nature couldn't decide whether she wanted it to rain or snow. Though the chill in the air suggested snow- it was nearing what Reach could consider winter. It was chilly and in order to snow, the temperature would be a bit different than Earth's.

"Weather can't decide what it wants to do," Carter's voice made Toni's shoulders tense up and her jaw tighten. She turned slightly enough to look at him. She wasn't quite sure what he was going to say. Dammit, and here she had talked him up..."You alright?" His tanned fingers laced with the metal fence. Toni didn't look at him for a second, she was too busy gathering her racing thoughts. Looking at the Commander was like looking at two blue lasers, it was like he could hear what she was thinking but didn't quite understand it. Like it was a foreign language.

"I'm fine," Toni told him with a shrug of her shoulders, turning slightly to look at him as well, a small smile being forced onto her face. "Just been thinking a lot,"

"About?" he raised a brow and cocked his head ever so slightly to the side. Toni fell quiet again, staring at him. He widened his eyes slightly waiting for her to speak her mind.

"Things." She didn't elaborate. Her eyes flicked to the cut on his eyebrow, "Your scar is healing up nicely." she changed the subject as soon as she possibly could. The panic that had flooded Toni's body when the rocks came tumbling down overtop of Carter had been the first time she'd truly shed tears of panic- at least since she was little. He smiled weakly and her heart jumped into her throat and she thought for a second she might vomit. The feeling was so uneasy and she was certain she would never be used to it. This happened every time the Commander smiled, something about it was just so contagious. She couldn't push down her own genuine smile when he looked back over the hills.

"Yeah, I've been treating it like I'm supposed to." he smirked slightly looking at her, "Scuttlebutt says that you haven't been doing the same for your back," Toni's face flushed and she glanced down to the grey dirt, not responding. "I'm gonna start scheduling times for you to go to medical Lieutenant. You need to be taking better care of yourself. I know Jorge has spoken his mind about that."

"I'm not a child," Toni looked at him with a mild glare.

"Then stop acting like one." Carter crossed his arms and leaned against the chainlink. Toni huffed a breath and avoided his eyes, staring over his shoulder. "You haven't been eating, you haven't been taking care of your injuries- it's like since we pushed the Covenant away from Reach you haven't known what to do with yourself."

"That's because I don't know," Toni snipped. Carter's face didn't change at her tone, which wasn't a shock. He was used to Antonia's bad attitude and snappy behavior at this point. She always did feel bad about it though. Taking a slow breath, she tried to calm herself down. "Look Commander, the point is: when there isn't a battle I have too much time on my hands. Too much time to think. We have all been through a lot together these past couple months and I am in no way trying to demean that but I need you to understand that I was trained to keep myself busy." Toni hugged herself and looked to the ground. "You'd do best to remember that...maybe set up some field tests for me to run for a week or so...it would do me some good to get out every now and again. I hate being like a bird in a cage...and that's exactly what this place is." She turned her eyes to the outer terrain once more as a flurry fell infront of her eyes. "This place....this base...it's a damn cage."
