frank/karen + 12. kiss on the nose & 4. awkward kiss (combining two requests bc imo nose kisses are very awkward when people do them to me I wish I could sneeze on command)
Frank sets a water bottle and a packet of crackers down on the bedside table next to Karen and she rolls over slowly to look up at him. She's been in bed for a week straight with the flu and despite that Frank keeps trying to get her to actually go to the doctor, Karen waves him off and tells him to go get her more water. Or more magazines. Or another movie from the only rental place in town. And Frank, begrudgingly, goes. Sometimes he considers picking her up after she's taken her pills and she's out and just taking her to the doctors, but he doesn't want to face her wrath.
The Punisher is terrified of his girlfriend when she gets angry (but if you ever asked him about it, he would deny it).
“Thank you.” She mumbles and sits up a bit, reaching forward to pick up the water bottle. Frank drops two pills in her hand and she opens the water bottle, pops the pills and swallows. Karen leans against the headboard and waits for a moment to see if she can even keep the pills down before she speaks. “When I was a little girl, I hated taking pills so much that my mom would cut them if she could.”
“Oh yeah?” He asks as he sinks down on the bed next to her. He's not worried about catching the flu from her anymore, he figures if he was going to get it, he would have by now.
Frank notices that Karen doesn't really talk about life before him much when it's unprompted. It's rare for her to bring up her parents or her childhood if he's not the one who brings it up. “Yeah.” She says softly and she smiles to herself.
He opens his mouth to bring up something from his life, but when Karen turns on her side and cuddles up to Frank, he falls silent and wraps his arm around her. He leans down to press a kiss to her cheek but when Karen looks up, he misses his goal and his lips press into her nose.
Karen scrunches up her nose as she pulls away from Frank, looking at him with a frown on her face. “Did you just kiss my nose?”
“I was aiming for your cheek, but you moved.” Frank mumbles.
“Please never do that again or I will learn how to sneeze on command.”
Frank's a tiny bit taken back by her disgusting threat and he nods in agreement. “Yes, ma'am.”
