little bf ob collection from the last few days. he sneezes quite frequently so i decided to put the obs into one post instead of 10 thinkpieces like i usually do. (but i will still do the thinkpieces as well, i like talking about him)
me, him, and our friend were standing around in her kitchen talking while we helped her make dinner. we were hanging out at her flat that night and watching an autumn movie for the first day of autumn (we are big autumn/halloween people)
my boyfriend and our friend were talking while i was over on the other side of the kitchen in my own world doing something with noddles. i was suddenly snapped out of my little noddle trance when i heard him sneeze while talking to her
his sneezes sound the same almost every time, kinda high-pitched, like “hh'shhiew” but not in a too girly or kitten sneeze-ish kinda way, his voice is pretty deep and that comes through so it does sound a little bit less kittenish but its still a cute-sounding sneeze for a grown man 😭
i look over my shoulder and yell “bless you!” and our friend says it at the same time
he says, “thank you, thank you!” which he has never said before and i thought was cute. like it was one for each of us. he then turns back to her and laughs and says, “oh! im so sorry, continue.” because he had interrupted her by sneezing. the urgency in which he says it is so dorkily cute. like, its not a big deal but he says it as if its a very dire situation, or he’ll be reprimanded if he doesnt tell her that its okay for her to keep talking now??
he sneezes quite a lot so he doesnt really have any hang-ups or embarrassment about it, except for when it “affects” other people (ie: interrupting conversations), then he gets kinda embarrassed and over-apologetic
she just laughed and said, “youre fine!” and they kept talking evidently about which autumn movie we should watch. (we settled on when harry met sally, if anyone was interested)
we were sitting on the couch watching tv before bed, he was halfway lying on top of me and i had my arm around his waist, kinda locking him in. so he was basically the little spoon this time, please dont tell him i told anyone though
i was falling asleep until he turned as far away from me as he could with my arm around him to sneeze into his elbow. i bless him then i close my eyes again because im still kinda half asleep
he says, “shit, sorry. i woke you up.”
i say, “no, you didnt.” he absolutely did
he says, “yeah, i did,” and kisses me on the cheek. we both fell asleep after that
more sleepy sneezes; always a hit
this time we were lying in bed, he was trying to sleep and i was working on my laptop
he’s one of those weirdos who likes to have tactile reassurance of me being next to him as he’s sleeping, so his back is pressed up against my side. i dont mind it though because im kinda like that too. we dont really really snuggle in bed, so i always just have my leg hooked around his or something like that
so im busy typing, work work work blah blah blah, when i feel his breathing get kinda weird
i instinctively look over at him and watch as he sneezes uncovered (i dont think i had ever seen him not cover before) so i was staring a bit and taking that in for a moment 😭
i say bless you, habitually, not thinking about him being half asleep. he just mumbles “mhm” like he acknowledges that i said something but has absolutely no idea what it was
