reblog this if you want anonymous opinions of you

Something inspired me, and I wanted an "I Told You So" situation, so I wrote this. It's only a teeny bit D/s, with a sweet ending.

“Aww, sweetheart, you look miserable,” says A.

“SNF. I amb,” B responds, their words thick with congestion.

“I’m sorry you’re feeling poorly. But you know, this could have been prevented.”

A miserable, viscous sneeze is B’s only response. It fills the tissue that’s held desperately to their face, a constant presence under their red, streaming nose.

“Like I said, if you had only…” A looks at B expectantly, prompting them to finish the sentence.

“If I had… ha… ha’ERRSSHH’IUE!” B groans miserably into their mangled tissue. “If I’d have godden bmy flu shot.”

“Yep. Then you wouldn’t be…”

“Ha’IIGHHH’SHUU! Ugh. Sigg.”

“With?”

“The… huh- the -heh’AAIIEEH’SHUH! With the flu,” B practically whines into the tissue.

“Correct.” A can’t control their smug, satisfied smile. “Now, are you going to listen to me next time?”

“Yes. ihh-KIIISSSHH’iew!”

“Good,” says A, their smile turning sunny.

“Can you brigg bme sobme tea now?”

“Of course, love.”

Kissing someone with a runny nose is something snz-adjacent I am stupid hot for, why is it so nice...it's messy it's contagion-y it's pitiful it's something sweet and risky ughh

[selene-and-the-cold]

Asking for cold meds at the pharmacy... 😳

having a sneeze fetish is so funny because i could be buying a multipack of tissues and it feels worse than buying condoms

[selene-and-the-cold]

Ok, depending on the character, I love:

a good "Pardon mbe" (yes, with that stuffy voice because I'm extra like that) especially from a Victorian gentleperson

a woe-is-me pitiful "Bless mbe..."

an embarrassed "Oh goodness!" or "So sorry!"

a sheepish "I think I ndeed a tissue" from behind a raised hand / sweater because the sneeze was messier than expected

"Excuse me!" works great as well!

"Oh, that one snuck up on me! I don't know where that came from!"

I might add more because this post is fire 🔥

Share your favorite post-sneeze exclamation with me!

I personally love a good “whew!” or the ever sexily polite “excuse me!”

One thing that gets me about people who are sick/definitely coming down with something is that increased sensory sensitivity.

They’re having one of those days where they wake up in a fog. Their limbs feel impossibly heavy, but they have to go about their life as normal, since otherwise they have no symptoms of illness. They hope tha They’re on autopilot, feeling as if they’re being controlled by another entity and watching from a third person perspective. It’s that dissociation that happens when you’re entirely checked out due to how shitty you feel.

They’re making careless mistakes, zoning out, hardly aware of what’s going on, until they bang their knee on something. It’s not hard, it shouldn’t hurt, but it shoots waves of pain through their body, and it takes them a good minute or two to shake it off. The feeling of their feet hitting the ground as they walk is jarring with each step. The buzz of fluorescent lights overhead is deafening. The world is too bright, and their chair is uncomfortable.

As the day goes on, a dull ache starts behind their skull, which turns into a pounding pain that won’t stop. Soon they’re covered in goosebumps, they’re shivering and pulling their sweater close around them. Even the feel of the fabric against their skin hurts, it stings, but they’re desperate to warm up. Their face is losing colour, but gaining a sheen of sweat.

Finally theyre sniffling, starting to feel congested. Around this time is when they make more mistakes in their work, and receive a reprimand, gentle or harsh, but it unleashes an uncharacteristic rush of emotion as they admit that they really, really aren’t feeling good.

To the RP anon: feel free to write more and tell me what's on your mind 😊

[selene-and-the-cold]

Or perhaps a very grumpy, unamused groan?

Someone blowing their nose, glancing into the handkerchief/tissue and saying yuck! in this thick, tired voice.

Politeness can be hot but so can flagrant lack of manners.

Allergies are not my usual playground, but today's scenario was a person A, who loves perfumes and has a little collection of them. So A recently bought a special new perfume they are absolutely in love with and rave about 24/7 to their partner B, who is away on a business trip.

When B comes home a few days later, it turns out they are horribly allergic to it, but A is so happy and B doesn't want to ruin their joy so perhaps they can just... stifle those itchy allergic sneezes, or sneeze them in secrecy until the novelty of the perfume wears off and A will move on to a new perfume. Maybe...? snnffff

You know you're a snzfucker when you accidentally read this as "their partner cooing 'achooo'" 😅

Someone sneezing and their partner immediately cooing “oh nooo” because it sounds so harsh and sick

[selene-and-the-cold]

Two people who have a cold at the same time and become extra codependent sappy and willing to take care of themselves because it means they’re both doing it… taking medicine on time and staying hydrated and eating something small together. Curling up in their pile of couch blankets after each little sick person task 🥺 half-heartedly arguing all day about which of them is less sick and therefore more qualified to take care of the other 🤍

[selene-and-the-cold]

When someone really needs to sneeze and they have their nose buried in another person’s side/neck/chest/arm/crotch/insert body part here and the other person can feel their nose scrunching against them as they grapple with the irritation.

Extra sexy points of the imminent sneezer is rubbing their nose into the other person in an effort to quell the mounting itch.

so my friends have this little Reductress calendar in their room with funny little fake news headlines for every day and… I don’t think I even need to elaborate on this

[selene-and-the-cold]

refined/polite person sneezing to the side, completely uncovered because it caught them off guard
