Damp washcloth in hand, A hurries over to B's bedside. They kneel down and gently wipe the sweat from B's brow, hoping the cool cloth might help bring down their fever that just won't seem to break - or at the very least, give them some comfort.

"hhh…hhiih…hhhiHH'IDJSSSHH'hhuu!"

"Bless you, baby," A coos, dabbing B's now-dripping nose with the washcloth.

"'m sorry," B mumbles, sounding like they're on the verge of tears. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry…"

"Hey, hey, it's okay." A caresses B's cheek, their thumb tracing beneath their eye and catching a tear before it can fall.

"I'm sorry…I'm sorry…" B continues through heaving breaths.

A's stomach sinks, and they bite their trembling lip.

"You're breaking my heart, sweetie," A sighs, moving their hand to brush through their beloved's hair. "Instead of 'sorry,' how about you try 'thank you?' Or maybe 'I love you?'"

"Mmm." B makes a sound that's indecipherable as they reach out, grasping at A's shirt. A slides under the blankets with them, holding their poor, sick sweetheart close to their chest, feeling them relax just a little in the embrace.

"Thank you," B whines into the fabric of A's shirt. "I love you," they hiccup between sobs. "I love you, I love you…"

sooo hot when someone has a very specific tell that lets you know for sure they’re gonna sneeze, like a pattern of sniffles, hitching breaths, or nose twitches…

[cherrycherrytree]

currently thinking about a character who’s so used to their allergies that they just continue a conversation through a fit, sneezing through their sentences without even being phased by it

(bonus points if the person they’re talking to has the kink and is trying really hard to act normal about it)

someone getting their partner chicken noodle soup with fun pasta shapes to try and cheer them up while they’re miserably sick with a cold

photic sneezing on its own is cute…but add in someone who’s already extra sensitive because of allergies or a cold, and so just the sun triggers a whole fit of sneezes…

[cherrycherrytree]

someone on a long-haul flight/bus/train ride who’s coming down with a cold, the illness settling in and symptoms getting gradually worse as their journey goes on. no access to medicine or extra blankets or anything to help make them more comfortable, just pure misery for hours.

add a caretaker who’s worried sick and frustrated that they can’t do much to help besides holding their sickie close to try and keep them warm. feeling their forehead every 30 minutes to gauge if their temperature has risen, not that they can do anything about it. letting them sneeze over and over into their shirt, serving as their tissue out of necessity when they inevitably run out.

[cherrycherrytree]

a caretaker using positive reinforcement on a stubborn sickie by calling them good boy/girl when they comply (taking meds, eating food, resting, not stifling their sneezes, etc)

there's just something so appealing about a character being ill and becoming temporarily dependent on another character to take care of them. the vulnerability that comes with that transfer of power and having to place their complete trust in the other person to care for them...it's very intimate. dare I say it's erotic.
