Sneezer: Eddie
Reason: Cold

"You took my box of tissues!" Eddie deliriously shouted, hand under his very runny nose.

"No, baby. I told you we were out," Richie said plainly. "You're running a very high fever. Get back in bed with me, honey." He patted the spot on the bed next to him.

"No! You stole my box of tissues!" Eddie kicked the frame of the bed.

"You're delusional. I promise you'll feel better if you let me put a cold cloth on your head," Richie said, patting the bed again.

Richie saw Eddie's nostrils flare and he sneezed uncharacteristically uncovered. "Hipschii! Etchieee! Ehetchew!"

"Aw, bless you," said Richie sweetly. "I might make a run for tissues later if your nose is running that badly."

Eddie wiped at his sore eyes. Tears had been falling steadily since he thought Richie had taken the tissue box. "I know you probably didn't mean to take the tissue box, Richie. You have allergies."

Richie honestly didn't have allergies in the winter but he nodded along to get Eddie to stop wearing himself out by going on a tissue tirade and rest himself again.

"It's okay," said Eddie, tiredly crawling back into bed. "I was only mad before I remembered your allergies." He tapped Richie's nose and to keep up with the charade, Richie batted his hands away.

"No babe! Not now!" Richie crinkled his nose.

"I like it when you sneeze," mumbled Eddie, forgetting his germaphobia with his fever. "You make really funny faces."

"When am I not funny?" chuckled Richie. "I'll get you that cold rag, and maybe I'll send a Postmate to bring us some more tissues."
