Chad and Tristan - Imagines (part 1?)

You are standing in the corner of the room, giving you a full of view of everything going on at the cocktail party. It is sparsely furnished but nicely decorated. Lit candles are on the coffee table. Jazz music plays in the background.  You're about to mingle when you spot your favorite couple standing over at the heavy curtains by the window. You've known them now for about a year now and it has flourished into a beautiful friendship.

You approach them, and Chad smiles when he sees you.

'Hi, so nice to see you.' He says with a soft tone as he comes to give you a hug. He smells of vanilla and musk as he holds you gently. 'I was just telling Tristan that I sort of felt out place, not knowing anyone, so it's truly delightful to see a familiar face.'

'The feelings are mutual.' You respond as you make contact with Tristan who nods at you, then pulls you in for an embrace and an earthy cologne with notes of sandalwood billows around you.

'Chad's too stressed for his own good.' Tristan smirks at Chad as you part, then he looks back at you. The eyes are more intent than you remember them. 'Don't you agree?'

'Pay no attention to him.' Chad cuts in and stands closer to you. 'He's just grumpy cause he didn't want to go at all.'

'Stop revealing all my secrets.' He pokes a finger into Chad's waist and he jumps.

'Cut it out...' He giggles.

'You two.' You say with a chuckle, when Tristan puts an arm around your shoulder.

'So how you've been?'

'I've been good.' You respond, enjoying the savoury fragrance. 'How about you both?'

'We've been great. Right Chad?'

At first, Chad doesn't respond, and instead massages his nose with thumb and index finger.

'Chad?' The arm slips down from your shoulder as Tristan diverts the attentiveness onto Chad.

'Uh, pardon?' Chad sniffles then scrunches his nose.

'We're doing terrific, aren't we?'

'Y-yea...' His voice trembles as his eyes narrows. '...excuse me I just have to...' He steps back and brings a cupped hand over his mouth. The frown grows deeper as the nostrils flares widely at the scrunch up nose. '...eh'gnnzdsch!-g'sch!!!-gnkntsch!!!'

The stifles forces him to shake his head with each powerful sneeze.

Tristan's entire attention is now centered around Chad, waiting for him to finish. '...gorgeous, you okay? Bless you.' He says with a certain kind of tenderness.

'...thank you.' Chad sniffles wetly, then looks over at you in a shy manner. 'I'm sorry, something is bothering my nose. I'm not sick or anything.' He assures you.

'It's okay. That looked a little hurtful though.' You say with sympathy when you see his cheeks turning red.

'Sorry. Some particular sneezes can be uncomfortable...' He glances at Tristan and then adds '...sometimes.'

'You never told me that.' Tristan answers quickly.

'It's really not an issue for me.' He sniffles and Tristan looks as if he's about to respond when you acknowledge the signs of yet another imminent sneeze from Chad's helpless expression.

'...ugh, hhhh... sorry I'm... hhhhh... going to sneeze again.' He excuses himself, then turns away from both of you. 'Uh'k'tschew!!-eh'gNNisch!!! ...ESCH'GNxsh!!!!'schooo... ...oh my.'

'Aw gorgeous...'

You observe how Tristan caresses Chad's back, at the same time being receptive to the privacy that Chad needs.

'...hhhhh... uh'WASCHschew!!!' He snaps forward violently. '...ugh, goodness... I'm so loud, please forgive me.' His wrist rubs beneath the now pink nostrils as he turns to face you. Avoiding eye contact, he sniffles with a timid conduct.

'Uhm... I think I got...' You say, searching through your bag, happy to see you've left a package of kleenex inside. 'Here you go.' You hand it over to Chad who accepts it with gratefulness.

'Oh thank you so much.' He opens it carefully and pulls out several tissues. 'You sure though?'

He finally meets your eyes. They truly are a ocean of blue.

'Of course.' You shrug with a smile. 'I don't need them.'

'That's so very kind of you.' Chad continues to thank you as he wipes with the tissues over the sensitive nose.

'You're now his savior.' Tristan chuckles then kisses Chad's cheek.

'It's the truth.' Chad add deeper meaning to his words by raising his brows but you brush it off.

'Just glad I could be of help.'

'...eh'gnnk'tsch!!! ...ugh, why am I still sneezzhhh-...hhhhh... sch'gnx!!-Gihh'tscho!!-T'schue!!!' Chad stifles the sneezes harshly into the tissues.

'Bless you.' You say as Tristan just holds Chad closer.

'Thank you. I'm sorry, there is something in this room that is making my nose itch like crazy.'

'Can be anything really baby.' Tristan says with his hand moving from Chad's back to his waist. 'We should probably head out for a while.'

'...eh'Ksch'schew!!! eh'Gesch'schew!!! ...ugh I'm real sorry.' Chad meets your eyes for a moment, then looks down. 'Yea we should get some air.' He sniffles and wipes with the tissues at the red nose.

Tristan leans over and wraps one arm around you. The other arm connects to Chad. 'It was great seeing you. We must hang out soon, okay?'

'It was great seeing you too.' You reply, 'And aw, Chad.'

He's appears quite strained so you give him a warm hug and that he returns with fondness. 'Thank you for the tissues.' He says with a constant sniffle. 'I appreciate it.'

'You're so welcome. Get better, okay?'

'I will.' A gentle smile form over his lips as  Tristan takes him by the hand and they leave the room.

A little fictional snzscenario ~

Part. 1

Even though her allergies been troubling her since morning, she was still adamant carrying on her daily schedule. Which first and foremost should go as planned with a refreshing jog through the park.

She sniffled putting on her sneakers. The nose kept itching, sending her into frustrating false starts. She grabbed her phone, put the ear buds in. Gathering her hair up in a messy ponytail. Checking herself out quickly in the mirror, she figured the slim yoga pants were suitable for running too.

She headed out the door.

Starting off slow, she began her usual jog through the block. The nose kept bothering her, tickling and itching and she hastily rubbed at it. Breathing through her mouth, she felt her breath starting to hitch. Slowing down the pace, she focused on the itch in nose which flared her nostrils widely.

‘Uh…’ She hitched again, hastily building up towards the sneeze that she so badly wanted to release.

‘Eh-Tschh!-K’schu!! …’ She sneezed into her elbow, whilst trying to keep up a steady pace. ‘Ah-tsch!-Tsch! …ah’Tschu!!’ She wiped off the nose with the back of her hand and kept running. ‘…T-scho!-ah-Tscho!-T'schu!!!’ The nose began to run too and she caught herself sniveling frequently. At least the tickle had subsided and she felt some sort relieved feeling from it.

Finally she reached the park. She slowed down momentarily. Her moist nose wasn’t done and she had to sneeze all over again. Narrowing her eyes, she brought up her phone. Unlocking it, she didn’t bother to conceal any specific expression as the facial features of a pre-sneeze took over her.

‘Tsch!-Tschu!!’Schew!!’ Barely turning her head as some droplets ended up on the screen of her phone. She wiped off her nose with her hand once more.  ‘Eh-K’schu!! ...eh ah’K’tscho!!’ It was harder for her to hold back her sneezes as they were growing stronger from each fit. Putting the phone back, she sniffled strongly. Starting to jog towards the nearest convenience store.

She was just about to enter when someone called her name. Turning around she took out her ear buds as she was met by a colleague. About her own age, they’d formed some sort of loosely based friendship.

‘Hey out jogging again?’

‘Yea.’ She sniffled. Giving her nose a quick rub. ‘What about you? Out shopping?’

‘Yea I’m going to buy that shirt we talked about during lunch do you remember?’

‘Yea.’ She felt her nose twitch. She put her hands on her hips with a blank expression. The tickle established rapidly inside her nose and she hitched. ‘Ah-tsch!-Tsch!-hhh-Tschuu!!’

She sneezed openly to the right side of her friend. Knowing it was probably due to allergies she didn’t bother to cover.

‘Oh bless you! Allergies?’

‘Ah-Ktsch!! …Yea. …uhh-T’schoo!! Severe during spring.’

Despite the urgent sniffles, her nose began to drip and she stroked at it with her open palm.

‘Poor thing.’

‘You don’t have any tissues on you, do you?’

‘Sorry. All out.’

‘T’schs!!’ Sniff. ‘Eh’tschue!!’ Sniffle. ‘K-tschu!!-T’schou!!’ Sniffle, sniffle.

She was now sniffling after every sneeze. The itch just wouldn't subside and was beginning to bother her tremendously. She had to keep the jogging session short. Even though she wasn’t prone to quit anything she’d started.

‘K-tschu!!-ooh.' She caught that one sneeze into her elbow. 'Shit I really must get going. I can’t just stand here and sneeze my head off. We’ll talk later? Nice seeing you.’

‘Yes, see you. Feel better!’

She went inside the store. The monitored screen that looked back at her revealed her red nose and watery eyes. Feeling a slight congestion, she quickly walked over and got packs of tissues and a couple of face masks. They come in handy for her next run, she figured.

Walking out the store she put the tissues to her nose and blew it vigorously. It felt so good to her nose to get rid of the ticklish particles momentarily. She threw the used tissue into a trash can and picked up a jogging pace on her way home.

She reached the park and that’s where her nose begun to bother her once more. She stopped altogether and breathed heavily through her mouth. The nose twitched and flared, the itching sensation traveling further up to the triggering point.

‘Ah-tsch!!-Tscho!!-K-tsch!!-Tsch!!’ She sneezed freely and openly. Stifling the sneezes so harshly, she felt her nostrils widening from each. A faint mist had landed on top of her sports bra.  She awkwardly wiped it off.

‘Bless you!’ A bypasser exclaimed and she nodded at the man hastily, building up towards another fit. Fishing up a new tissue, she put it over her nose and mouth.

‘Ah-Tschosmm!-K'schhhhmm!!’ The nose dripped and she blew it harshly. The forceful tendency caused a ticklish burning and she hitched yet again.

‘T'schue!-Ah’Tschu! ... huh-RASCHiu!! ASCHEu!!! ...Oh wow.’ She said to herself, starting to feel exhausted, when her nostrils flared once more. ‘…ASCH-schu!! AH'GASCHu!!’ The powerful sneezes bent her over.

Rubbing at her nose with the tissue, she was surprised over how strong and loud the sneezes came out. She blew her nose again more carefully. Putting her ear buds back in, she walked the way home. Ready and steadily with a tissue at hand.
