Another One?

My partner has been sick so much lately and I assured her repeatedly that I wouldn’t mind if I got sick and I still stand by it. It was well worth the risk to see her and I just want to take care of her!

I was also just in a rather large crowd of people not too long ago.

Now I’m sneezy and have a runny nose. My nose won’t stop being all tickly. Maybe it’s those autumn allergies? Maybe I’m getting sick? I’ll find out one way or another.

I will say, I’m also so tired and have those typical dark circles forming under my eyes… it seems maybe it’s not just allergies, after all. The morning will tell.

They are so engrossed in each other and their activity that they don't notice the mist creeping up around them. Suddenly, the warmth of the evening has vanished and the cold bite of a draft hits them. They reluctantly pack up and leave.

Achoo! "Good health." Achoo! "Good love." Achoo! "You know what? I've had it. I hope you never stop sneezing."

It's A's first day back at work after a few days off, having just gotten over the same cold that B woke up with that morning.

"How's that cold of yours?" A asks, setting down their keys and shrugging off their jacket. They offer B a sympathetic smile as they approach the blanket nest B has made for themselves on the couch, knowing firsthand how awful they must feel.

At least B doesn't have to feel the guilt that they're feeling, A thinks.

- a sneeze causing a vampire to bite their tongue/inside of their mouth with fangs

- a vampire/human relationship. The human is cooking something with a lot of garlic and their vampire partner cannot stop sneezing if they set foot in the kitchen.
