🐣 Cold - Jimin (JiHope)

This was from an ask on Tumblr, enjoy!

JIMIN'S PERSPECTIVE

Today our schedule is cram packed with interviews. Luckily the interviews are with American magazines meaning Namjoon-hyung does most of the talking while I get to sit in the back with Hobi. I'd wanted to sit in his lap but I settled for being on the chair next to him.

Unluckily I've found myself catching a small cold. The hyungs haven't noticed which is good, If they did they'd all be busy fussing over me instead of letting themselves have the spotlight.

When the woman interviewing us asks Hobi about his new album my chest swells with pride. He talks eagerly about it and although I know most of what he's saying I still love listening to his enthusiastic voice. Then I feel a sharp tickle in my nose. Unwilling to be suppressed, the itchy sneeze erupts intensely against my sleeve. "H-hi-iTCHIew" I lose my balance and begin to slide off my chair.

Hobi catches me and laughs, "Bless you, Minnie! Do you need a tissue?"

I turn so he won't see me blush. "No thank you Hyung, I'm fine."

"Okay." He says and I look around guiltily. All the attention is on me now.

After a few seconds, Hobi continues. I sigh in relief but I can feel the mucus building up again, the pressure increasing and I know it's only a matter of time before I have to let it out again.

Thankfully Hoseok is by his very nature a loud talker and when his volume increases a little bit more I relax my nose a bit, stifling the sneeze again into my poor sleeve.

Nobody seems to notice. Maybe I can make it through today . . . A sudden tickle catches me off guard and I rush to lift my arm to my face, silencing the sneeze. I wince at its thick and almost gurgly sound, snot now covers my sleeve. Snot drips down the back of my throat, the action only intensifying the scratchy feeling, surely messing up my voice.

I see Hoseok glance over my way and I pretend to push my hair out of my eyes. I sigh, now he's worried and can't focus on the interview. I give my sleeve a quick glance, it's soaked. I probably shouldn't be using my sleeve anyway. It's gross.

The interviews continue on like that for a while, me stifling increasingly itchy sneezes, doing nothing for the tickle and only increasing the ache in my throat further.

When Hoseok is done answering questions it's Yoongi's turn. Hoseok scoots his chair back in its place closer to me, letting me lean my head on his shoulder.

"Bless you, baby," he whispers

I blush and mumble "sorry." into his neck

"You know it's okay for you to sneeze. Stifling like that isn't good for your throat. Besides," he boops my nose gently causing the tickle to come back. I sneeze messily into his shoulder, the blush creeping all the way to my forehead, I'm sure. "you have a very cute sneeze." He whispers back

"I do?"

"Yes, like fairy dust. ARMY thinks it's cute as well."

I blush again but this time I'm not embarrassed. My boyfriend always makes me feel better. He smiles his sunny smile again and I swear the action itself is like medicine because I feel better immediately.

"I don't think they have any medicine but I'll ask the staff for some tissues and you can have a mask if you want."

I just nod.

Soon we get a break and Hoseok wipes my nose for me, planting a kiss on the bridge when he's done. "Aww, my mochi looks so cute!" He coos when I put on the mask the staff gave me, "It's almost over, you'll feel better soon."

HOSEOK'S PERSPECTIVE

This cold is being really mean to my poor Jiminie but at least with the mask and tissues, he isn't stifling. He looks peaceful leaning against my shoulder and I almost don't want to make him move when the interview is over but he needs an actual bed.

"Come on Minnie, let's get you home."

He nods and I help him stand up, he leans on me all the way to the car.

When we get home I give Jimin his cold medication and let him curl up in bed.

JIMIN'S PERSPECTIVE

At last, I climb under the soft comforter but still, something is missing. "Seokie, can you stay?"

He smiles like my own personal sun again and snuggles next to me. Soon his steady breaths become my own and guide me gently into sleep.

(A/N: Sorry, this ending kind of sucks. I am excited it's finished though so I can work on new requests.)
