Richtofen Headcanons + Oneshots

Sunburnt

Edward, as a very White Person burns very easily. Truthfully he was never one for the sun - he was a scientist after all - he belongs in a lab! But, he was fairly certain he got enough sunlight, but not one ray more. So, when he was in the sun, you would make sure he put enough sunscreen on, and applied it regularly - to the laughter of the others. He didn't really care though, besides not getting burnt he also appreciated that you made sure he was taken care of. He as the doctor took care of your health, and you as a dote-ful lover took care of his in anyway you can - like making sure he doesn't burn.

His nose and cheeks burn the easiest - if out in the sun for too long he will end up with a lasting blush on his face. Then, it's his chest shoulders, and back, and last his arms. His legs probably gets burn pretty easily as well, he just never lets himself find out. Pants stay on no matter how hot it gets, and he never cared for shorts.

When he does have a sunburn, he doesn't complain about it. His clothes rubbing up on him irritates it, sure, but why complain and bother you about such trivial things? He'll just bear it. Although, he can't help the grunt of pain that escapes him if you accidentally brush up against the affected skin. That's probably how you will find out he is burnt if his face is spared.

Want to make a certain German very content? Offer to apply medicated lotion to his skin. He might wave you off one or two times but the third? Oh, how could he say no to you? Rubbing his back with the lotion would probably put him to sleep if he had a busy day. And rubbing his arms and chest will leave a drunk on love doctor. He secretly loves when you dote on him, and seeing you so concentrated as you doctor him makes him swoon - almost makes him want to burn some more just to have you baby him, just a little bit he will reason to himself.

The peeling sucks, though, and that part he hates the most, but he'll let you peel it if you're into that.(*)

(*)He'll point out spots that are peeling and let you pick at them - you try to see what's the biggest piece of skin you can get off while he is just happy, albeit bewildered, that you enjoy that so much.

Sometimes he wonders if you go a little overboard with the sunscreen, but watch you get burnt once (1) and all future times you are in the sun he will be hounding you to keep a steady layer of sunblock on your skin at all times even if you assure him you don't need it.

If Dempsey, Nikolai, or Takeo gets burned though, both of you will just laugh.

"Edward, what's up?" You asked, noticing something was off about him. The two of you were in his lab, him working on whatever and you doing anything but.

"Nothing is 'up', Schatz, I am doing quite well, actually."

"I feel like you're bullshitting me" you said, rather bluntly, which caused him to shoot you a slightly surprised look. "You got this grimace on your face."

"Don't I always?" He tried to deflect, which never really worked on you. You saunter up to the doctor, standing right in front of him to gauge him better.

"Yeah, but I know what your normal grimace looks like, this is different" you hummed, before shrugging your shoulders. "I suppose if you say it's nothing, then it's nothing" you give him a smile, which he tried to match.

Your hands found his shoulders, he leaned into your touch and wrapped his own around your waist. As if naturally, he leaned down and kissed you, signing into your lips.

"Du bist so wunderbar"

His arms pulled you in closer, almost impossibly close. You could feel his grin playing on your lips as you popped the top button of his shirt open. Two more followed, and you hands greedily found his chest.

"Gah!" Edward sucked in a breath, the grimace finding his face once again. You pull away quickly and squint at him, eyes darting from face to chest.

"Edward Richtofen you lied to me." Your arms crossed over your own chest and you leaned back on your heel, eyeing him disprovingly.

"Liebling, it is nothing, just slightly red is all." He reasoned.

"Why didn't you tell me? I coulda put aloe on it a long time ago!"

Before he could answer, you led him out of his lab to his makeshift bed (gotta love mattresses on the floors) and pulled him down, straddling his hips as he laid. You unbutton his shirt the rest of the way and tug it out of his pants, leaving his bare chest exposed.

"Wish you told me earlier, doll." You popped the cap of the aloe open and squeezed a generous amount on your hand, used the back of your wrist to close it then rubbing your hands together.

"Es tut mir leid" he sighed, already feeling the relief as you gently palmed the gel into his skin. His chest hair gleamed when it caught the light, strands of it sticking together as you rub the aloe in. You liked feeling the course hair on your fingers, but you were most focus on covering all the red skin. The sunburn stopped an inch or so above the bottom of the sternum, and was up to about the jugular notch.

A smile found his lips as you blew on his gel covered chest, his back arched slightly trying to chase the cool relief. "Danke" he sighed. Heart melting from the subsided pain and your dote-fulness.

He'll allow himself to let you baby him, just for a little bit.
