Dapper butch with a cold, [A], enters the living room to find their wife, [B], is sitting on the couch, blowing her nose into a tissue, accompanied by a wet, bubbling sound, filling it rapidly with thick snot, When she reemerges, she groans. She sounds full of congestion. "Good bornigg, darligg," she croaks.
They sniffle, their red nose dripping just like her pink one is. She has, undeniably, caught their terrible cold. They sneezed messily all over the house and over her for days on end, and now she is miserably ill with the drippy, snotty cold they’ve given her. It's undeniable. Except, as the way of things between the two of them, she is denying it. "Good mborning," they say. "You dodn't sound good."
She drags in a wet, disgraceful snuffle, and then another. "I'b completely fide," she lies, and coughs.

F/F STORY
Girlfriends! Cold! Caretaking! That sums it up.
Btw, I’m really not a writer. I don’t even have a title for this.
……………………………………………………………………….
Although she did have allergies she could tell by the afternoon that this was more serious, her temples and head were starting to ache and she just felt exhausted. So it was a cold. I can handle it, no big deal she thought. Although she did feel slightly deflated about it since she was visiting her girlfriend tonight. It felt overdramatic to cancel because of a cold. As the day went on the minor headache got worse until just about everything was hurting. It was definitely too late to cancel now, she was already on the way to Harper’s house. She sighed, walking through the crisp air wishing she could be feeling better. She blows her nose before texting Harper she’s outside, hoping she might be able to hide her cold for at least the first while.
Harper opens the door with a big smile, kisses her, and pulls her inside. “Come in love, it’s freezing out”
“Yeah, it is” Bella agreed, she cringed slightly at her voice still sounding a bit congested despite the fact she’d just blown her nose. The warm air in Harper’s house was already making her irritated nose tickle. “Huh.. hh.. NNgTSSHHHOO” an absolutely futile attempt at stifling, she was still in Harper’s embrace but managed to turn away slightly and sneeze towards her shoulder. She had to sniffle deeply afterwards, her nose as congested as ever already.
“Awww bless you baby, did you catch a cold?”
“Yeah.. *Sniffle* it was fine this morning but, I really don’t feel good now.. m’sorry I sneezed on you” she added shyly, blushing a bit. She sniffled miserably, quickly realising there was no use in trying to hide how she felt. Her cold was far too obvious already.
Harper gently cupped her cheeks in her hands as well as feeling her forehead, she pouted and made a sympathetic noise. “Oh darling, you should have told me you weren’t feeling well” she says, her voice laden with sympathy but Bella in her self conscious state somehow misinterpreted it.
“Uhm yeah sorry I probably shouldn’t have come over *sniff*”
“No silly, I don’t mean like that. I’m a pharmacist I could’ve just grabbed you some medicine before I left work. I always want you to come over.”
“Oh! right” Bella smiled dumbly “I honestly didn’t even think of that.”
Harper knew Bella came from a less than empathetic family so it did make some sense to her why Bella would’ve tried to pretend she was fine.
“Well, we’re here now and I do have some paracetamol we can use for your fever. Just make yourself comfy on the couch okay darling, I’ll be right back”
“Okay *sniffle* umm Harper could we light the fire? I feel really cold.”
“Of course we can, and by WE I just mean me, I don’t want you to do anything except rest.”
Bella flopped down onto the couch straight away, instantly sinking into the comfort. She felt so weak but she knew she could just rest now and her girlfriend would take care of her.
Harper took in the sight of her girlfriend curled up on the couch. She was pale and still shivering a little bit. Her caretaking instincts took over immediately. Tonight was no longer for drinking wine together and doing other things she had planned. Bella’s breath gets shaky and she takes hurriedly takes out a tissue from her pocket, which clearly had been used too many times already, she held it all balled up to her nose and it did nothing to contain the “hehTSSSSHOOO!” that tumbled out. Harper just smiled fondly, she somehow looked incredibly cute.
“Bless you sweetheart, here I got you some tissues.” She takes one out of the box and hands it to the younger girl.
Bella took the tissue and blew her nose as politely as she could manage before putting the tissue back beside her on the couch. “Sorry, disgusting.” She said, using as few words possible.
“Don’t apologise sweetheart, and you’re not being disgusting at all, not in the slightest.” She gently rubbed the sick girls back in reassurance. “Here, I brought you something more comfortable to wear” she produced a hoodie, very thick and warm. It seemed almost new.
“Oh, thanks” Bella slowly got up into a sitting position wincing as she did so. If she had any energy she would’ve argued that the hoodie was too nice just for her to get her snot and germs all over it. But she submissively allowed Harper to help her put it on. Her girlfriend covered her over with a blanket afterward.
“Okay that’s better. Poor baby, I know everything hurts right now. Here, take these painkillers they should help you in a bit. I’m sorry it’s not going to be instant but just hang on for a while okay, try to get some sleep” she gently stokes her face and kisses her forehead and lips.
“Kay.” The weak monosyllabic response told Harper everything she needed to know about how the sick girl was feeling. She fell asleep feeling the older woman’s hands slowly massaging her head where it hurt, and her shoulders and back.
While Bella slept Harper ordered them some food including her usual favourite but just some chicken ramen for Bella. Much blander than what she usually preferred to eat but this wasn’t a usual night.
Bella woke up a couple hours later after Harper shifted on the couch to get their food. She was a bit disoriented at first, they had been dating for a few months but she wasn’t particularly used to waking up from a deep sleep on this couch. She shivered and whined a bit. Everything was still hurting. Almost instantly after waking up her nose started running again, she grabbed a tissue before it got down to her lips, as soon as the tissue touched her nose it started to tickle “TSSSHHHH”
She was just about to remove the tissue from her face when she glanced up as Harper got back with their food. “Hi sleepyhead” she smiled at her indulgently.
“Hey” Bella replied quietly. Still sounding sleepy and dazed.
“How was your nap?” Harper asked as she sat down on the couch and guided Bella into her lap.
“Good, I really needed that”
“Yeah? Are you feeling a little better?” Harper inquired, one eyebrow slightly raised.
“Honestly no” Bella shook her head. She shivered a little, proving she still had a fever.
“Poor little thing, this cold seems pretty nasty huh?”
“AIIISSSSHHHOO… Mhmm” Bella equally agreed and moaned at the same time.
“I’m so sorry love, I thought you’d feel better after a little nap.”
“KSSTTTTTCCIEW… ugh… nDot your fault.” Bella replied, kind of unsure what to say. She really wasn’t used to anyone feeling sorry for her. Her voice sounding so deeply congested it was almost hard to understand what she was saying. She sniffled and sniffled again, and again.
Harper knew she was self conscious about blowing her nose in front of her so she didn’t push it. Instead she kissed her neck and soothingly rubbed her back.
Bella nestled her head in the spot between Harper's neck and chest and sniffled again.
“How do you feel about chicken ramen, do you like it?”
“I do…” Bella’s voice trailed off.
“But... you’re not hungry, right?” Harper guessed.
Bella quietly raised her arm to try sneezing into the elbow, her head ducking down towards Harper’s lap “hehTSHHHCHEW *gasps* HahTTScchiew… TTTCHIEW”
“nDo, nDot hungry” *SNNNF* “ugh” Bella sighed clearly frustrated that she had to blow her nose.
“That’s okay darling, I thought as much. Bless you” she kissed her cheek. “It would be great if you could just eat a tiny bit, a few spoons. I don’t like the idea of giving you more medicine on an empty stomach. Please? For me?”
Bella just nodded her head, smart enough to know it would be useless trying to argue with Dani about this - as much as she wanted to. Maybe she was acting a bit like a brat but she couldn’t help it.
“Good girl, and then we’ll go to bed where you can get some proper rest.”
They got into bed shortly afterward. Harper was naked. She guided Bella, wearing just the hoodie now, to rest on top of her. Bella sighed, contentedly this time. It felt good feeling her girlfriend’s soft skin, feeling her warmth, unfortunately she couldn’t smell her perfume right now but she knew she smelt amazing, she always did. Bella felt like an absolute mess in comparison.
“Sorry I’m not fun tonight” she said, as a way of trying to apologise for well, everything about her current state.
Harper’s soft sigh followed by “Baby, I don’t expect you to be fun all of the time.” Soothed her a bit. She continued “I know this isn’t how we normally spend our nights together, but I really love being able to take care of you like this.” She gently slipped a hand down to Bella’s lower back and gently rubbed it. Kissing her again on the forehead.
Bella sniffled, her nose tickled and she felt a sneeze coming but with Harper’s arms were wrapped tightly around her it was hard to move. She tried to sit up, but Harper didn’t let go. “What’s wrong love, you not comfy?” She asked
“I n’deed to sneeze..”
“It’s okay baby, you can sneeze on me”
“AhTISSHIEW”
“Good girl” Harper praised her, feeling her girlfriend’s warm breath against her chest as a tickly sneeze exploded out.
“HITCCSHHIEW”
“Bleeesss you, darling”
Harper praised her again with that sultry voice. That combined with the way her hand was placed on her lower back honestly would’ve turned her sick girlfriend on had she not felt like she’d been hit by a bus. She could, however, still appreciate the attention the older woman was showering her with and it did feel good.
“HAAIIIPPPPSHHTTTTIEW! ugh *SNRF* fuck”
Harper instinctively knew Bella needed a tissue, it was a particularly messy sneeze “It’s okay my baby, I got you” She pulled a couple tissues from the box and cleaned up her girlfriend’s upper lip. Before asking ”Will you blow for me?”
Bella didn’t say anything but obediently gave a hearty blow into the tissue being held around her nose.
“There we go, that’s a bit better. My poor sneezy baby”
“Love you.” Bella mumbled softly, still exhausted.
“I’m so in love with you, Bella”
Shortly after they both drifted off to sleep.
