A gets caught in the rain the way home. B, who's been watching to see when A gets home, opens the door and ushers them inside with a flurry of affectionate fussing. they put a blanket around A's shoulders and listen for the “thank you, sweetheart” that A usually never forgets when B does them a favor. it doesn't come, and B is a little worried and maybe a tad crestfallen that their fussing doesn't seem wanted.
“does that feel okay?” B asks quietly.
“huh....... hhUH’szchew!”
A bends at the waist with a heavy sneeze, rainwater falling from their hair. they scrub their nose a little bashfully as they straighten.
“‘scuse me,” they say in a hoarse voice. they meet B's eyes.
“the blanket feels wonderful,” they say. “thank you, sweetheart. i didn't mean to ignore you; i just had to get that tickle out.”
ah, so that's what was keeping A from their usual sweet gratitude. B gives a tender and relieved smile and draws the blanket closer around their love's shivering shoulders.
“that's okay, honey,” they say gently. “you're welcome. bless you.”
