Tissues and Blood
(Dandy Mott x GN!Reader)
Request: “heyy! so, i was thinking about a short fic where the reader is concerned about dandy’s sudden sneezing and allergic reaction through the past few days and the both find out it’s actually dandy’s dust allergies seeing as dora hasn’t been cleaning anything for our infamous man child just to spite him? I THOUGHT OF THIS RANDOMLY AND I THINK IT COULD BE RLLY CUTE? though poor dora when she gets caught though 💀”
I love this idea! I am going to put a darker twist to it because why not, amirite? I hope you enjoy this first part and please be gentle!! This is my first writing after not doing so in so long!!

You sigh softly as you walk through the door with a few bags. “Dandy, I’m home! I brought you something from the candy shop.” You stumble a bit to close the door and start walking to his room. Your face contorts to a slight frown as you hear nothing but sneezing and noses being blown. As you turn the corner, you see Dora blowing her nose.
“Oh my, you have allergies as well? Everyone in town has been so upset with the pollen lately.” You say as you hand her a tissue, seeing her nod and stiffen a bit. “It has been a bit difficult miss, I’ll manage. Thank you.” She says, her brows knitting together as she wipes her nose. In the distance you hear Dandy whining and sneezing as well.
“Everyone really is a bit sick. Oh also, please clean the windows again. They look a bit dirty because of the pollen. I’d appreciate it a lot!” You say as you walk towards his room, not seeing her roll her eyes at you and continue to blow her nose.
Hearing a knock at his door, Dandy frowns and opens it. He hears you gasp at his appearance, his eyes were swollen and his nose was runny and red. “I look a mess! I can’t even see properly! It hurts..” He whines and sits on his bed, pressing ice to his eyes to try and sooth the swelling.
“My love..god what even caused this?” You say as you help him wipe his nose and the stray water streaks leaking from the ice on his eyes. He leans into your touch, suddenly tired from his little outburst. You hear a slight wheeze in his breathing and frown. “We should see a doctor, sweetheart..” you say and reluctantly move away, dialing the number. You hear him whine quietly from the loss of contact and the sound of the bed dipping in his weight.
“Hello yes…I would like to set an appointment for tomorrow morning at 9 for Dandy Mott…yes…it seems like he’s having a small allergic reaction from something. It might be the pollen…yes…” You look over at Dandy’s tired and flushed form in the bed, his breathing getting a bit heavier with exhaustion. “…he’s too tired to go today…yes thank you, I’ll take the number…” you quickly wrote down the number the secretary gave you and soon hang up. As you glance at Dandy again you notice how the room feels a bit stuffy.
“Dust? But Dora is so good at cleaning..maybe it’s just my eyes…” You say to yourself as you walk out of Dandy’s room to let him rest. The click of your shoes against the floor echo lightly as you travel to the kitchen. “Dora, please make me a snack. I don’t mind whatever you give me. I just need to eat before I pass out.” You check the time and see that it’s almost 4 pm. “And make dinner right after please. I trust you will make something delicious for Dandy and I.” I smile and she nods in her usual cold manner.
You turn on the tv and sigh softly as you watch it, snacking on the apples Dora cut up. Your legs itch to get up and move to Dandy’s room, just to check up on him. Eventually that thought wins and quickly head up to his room. You quietly enter and see him having a sneezing fit. “Dandy hold on.” You say and pull him away from the shelve he was about to hit with his head. He smiles shyly at you and wipes his nose. “I think it’s gotten a bit worse..” he says sadly and pulls you to bed.
You smile a bit and hold him close. “My sweet boy, are you sure you haven’t eaten anything unusual?” You ask and watch as he nods in response. “Have you eaten lunch? Was it late?” He nods twice more and yawns, pull you closer. “I just want to sleep..” he mumbles and then is out like a light.
The next morning you both get ready and head out to the doctors. Dandy’s eyes were still a bit puffy and red and around his nose was irritated and raw. You held his hand as you check him in and head into the room, sitting him down before sitting down yourself. “They are going to take a few tests and we might have to wait a day or two.” You say as the nurse takes all his information down.
“The doctor will be in to see you in a few minutes.” They say and leave just you two in the room. “How do you feel? Still hurts a bit?” You ask and kiss his forehead. “It does hurt a bit in my nose and eyes but my chest bothers me the most.” He says and looks up when the doctor comes in.
The doctor clears his throat and nods at Dandy. “The results will come in sometime tomorrow. When they do, I’m going to do at-home check ins. Take this right before you go to bed, this is just general allergy medicine for pollen and things like that. It should give you some relief. I will ask you to please stay home. That includes you as well.” The doctor says, looking at you. “We need to make sure it’s not anything you’re being in either. You can go to work but come straight home after.” They do one last temperature check to make sure it’s not linked to any virus. “Lastly, don’t eat anything or drink anything you wouldn’t consume on a day to day basis. This is very important because if we need to run anymore tests, we can pin point exactly what food or drink it is. With that, you two are free to go. Take care Dandy. I’ll see you at around 3 pm.” They say and watch as you two walk out.
When you both get home, the aroma for Dandy’s favorite meal wafts out into the hall. It’s now around dinner time and Dandy has been sort of complaining that he was hungry. “I think she made your favorite, love.” You say and set your things down, watching as he heads to the dining room. Humming, you hang your hat and do a double take. “Are you serious?” Inspecting the coat and hat hanger, you see more dust. “The hell is going on…she’s always been so proficient at details.” Your head fills with things to say to her when you get time to pull her aside as you sit down at the table.
“Looks delicious.” Dandy says, smiling a bit at her. It was rare but when he did Dora seemed to beam in pride. This time, she stayed the same. “Thank you, enjoy.” She says and retires herself to the other room. As you both eat, you think hard on a reason why Dora has been failing at what she always takes pride in. At least her cooking was still brilliant. You barely notice Dandy calling your name until he sets his cup down a bit hard.
You look up and see him annoyed. “Why are you ignoring me? This time it’s not my fault that I’m sick or whatever I am at the moment.” He says and frowns. “Or is it..” he mumbles to himself.
“No, Dandy. I’m just in my own head, I have a lot to think about.” You say, smiling apologetically. He frowns more and stands, walking over to you. “You have to stop thinking so hard.” His hands cup your face gently. “You always get horrible headaches and we can’t both be sick. I can barely breathe through my nose and see through my puffy eyes..imagine having a headache on top of everything.”
You laugh and shake your head. “I know..it’s getting late, let’s get ready for bed. We don’t want to miss our show do we?” Dandy smiles and shakes his head, helping you out of your chair and taking you upstairs.
The sounds from the tv drown out any thoughts you have as you fix your hair a bit so you don’t wake up with it too messed up. Hearing Dandy laugh at any jokes the people make make your heart soar. You lay down next to him and laugh too, gently kissing his cheek and watching the show. “Why does he always fall in the same spot? You would’ve thought he would learn by now.” He says to you, looking down and noticing how your eyes start to droop.
“Sleep my love.” He says in a soft tone and watches as you slowly drift off to sleep, staying up to watch a bit more before he himself drifts off to sleep.
I hope you enjoyed it! Part two will be posted sometime this week or next week! Send in any requests you have and any comments!! Please like and reblog if you enjoyed!!
