Because if I take after my father, I'm allergic to.. well, life. Also giraffes and elephants.
-----
Tye
I firmly believe he'd *also* have spring allergies
Coming from a hotter, drier area, he probably doesn't notice at first
Thinks it might just be humid
But as soon as you start sneezing from all the pollen..
Game over
You're both sitting and sneezing
He eventually starts laughing just because of how ridiculous it is
---
Virgil
He caught after you sneeze a few times
I'm sorry
He's not an only child, and so when the other sibling (or in this case, partner) is suffering from sneezes, he just.
Giggles about it
If you pout at him he'll apologize, but it'll happen again
---
Eduardo
Doctor's kid
Reaches for a tissue in his pocket while blessing you
If you keep sneezing for too long, he might search for a mask
Doesn't want to get sick
Might also have some kind of nasal spray on him as a just-in-case
Starts badgering you to take allergy meds of some kind that night
If he sees you out from Benadryl he'll just sigh & toss a blanket over you
---
Asami
You sneeze once
Then again
And again
It takes a few times, but Asami finally turns to you and mumbles "Daijoubu?"
If you give her a look, she'll shrug
Probably won't offer a tissue tho
Might offer to make you some tea, though
Clear your sinuses & throat
(in Japan it's typically considered impolite to acknowledge a sneeze, but after a few times, she'd say something. Iirc blowing your nose esp around other people is gross & impolite, too.)
Was doodling on myself and this popped into my head. Please, take it.
Notes: I know YJ isn't Earth 27, but the only theorized birthday I could get for him was Sept. 7. It'll be relevant later (look for aster and sapphire; the birth flower and gem!)

To preface this Mess™, you were another of the Runaways
The group was already incredibly close because of the shared trauma, even if everyone showed their emotions differently
Some of you just happened to get closer than others
Powers or no; you had a metagene
And Tye'd be damned if the Reach got their hands on you again
He carried you from place to place, astral form or no. He just wanted to make sure you stayed safe
Now that that's out of the way
You guys have quite a bit of downtime
All you really do is run errands for Luthor and destroy Reach property n adverts 🤷🏽
So wherever you're at, there's a lot of free time
Ofc you and your boyfriend want to spend as much time together as possible
Even if you're both just doing your own thing next to each other
He likes watching you draw
Sometimes he asks you to draw on him
And SOMETIMES that leads to 'projects' like this..

Tye mumbled beneath you, tensing slightly as your pan ran over his spine. You ignored the movement, staying focused on the task at hand.
You sat on your heels at his tailbone, one leg on each side of his torso. Two reference pictures were pulled up on the shared laptop, sat next to his head; an aster (almost a blue-purple daisy) and a faceted sapphire crystal.
He sighed softly as you repeated the motion, running over the facets of the sapphire in the middle of the flower's petals. Running the pen back and forth, you darkened the faces of the crystal where it would be sat into the aster.
Running a hand down his shoulder blade, you smiled as he relaxed with your touch; practically melting into the bed beneath him as you continued your linework with the distraction. Tapping your fingers against his ribs, you ran the pen over the same area on the other side of his back, laying your palm flat and almost petting his side when he tensed again.
The only sounds in the room were those you two made; his gentle sighs and mumbling, your fingers against his back, and your combined breathing were the only noises filling the small space between you two.
As another of the Runaways, there was plenty of time for you and Tye to grow close
He uses you as a space heater whenever he's cold, esp after coming out of his astral form. It uses up a ton of his energy, and can leave him cold and weak
You hide behind him to charge attacks when needed, using his size as a distraction
A true power couple
In his astral form, he holds you up to help with ranged attacks
He will protect you with EVERYTHING he has if you're in danger. Once he's close to someone, he wants to keep them safe.. remind him every once in a while that you're capable of fighting for yourself
Rushes into battle with his heart
(His head is busy keeping his astral form up)
If you generate too much smoke while using you're power, he has 2 options. Once you're out, just kinda. Wave the smoke away.. or dump water on you to smother it, lol
It evaporates off of you quickly; you'll be fine
You've probably offered to help 'take care of' Maurice for him
Ofc he's considered the offer, but.. he's kinda half-ass going the hero route 🙃
Y'all visit his grandpa
(He likes you. As long as you're helping The take care of himself, ofc)
Try and make plans to visit his mom every once in a while, yeah?
Just. Love on him, please?

Sorry it's so short & disjointed. Drill's over.. it was verr cold outside. And smoky asf. Ciao
Planning on doing Asami and Virgil next (plus a bonus for Tye once I figure Something™ out wink wink astral projection nudge nudge). Any other suggestions are totally welcome!
