screeching @temporarilyunspokensneezes
I absolutely must share what happened at work today.
So I have allergies, don’t know what they are but I work outside in the evening and they’ve been… flaring.
My coworker, the other half of my work duo, has been teasing me *relentlessly* about it🫣 which turns me BRIGHT red and GREATLY amuses them.
My shy brain gets overpowered quick when the opportunity for a little extra snz dopamine arises, so I’m already feeling a little ballsy.
We’re standing together waiting for our next thing, and I turn away to quietly stifle two sneezes into my fist. I freeze for a second but decide I’m good.
I turn back and feel them looking at me. With sarcastically sympathetic eyes and an amused smile,
“Bless. Anymore?”
I teasingly reply with:
“No *snf* and someday it won’t just be ME suffering.”
Another amused grin, “I’ve sneezed at work, you’ve just never seen it!
I’m SURE I was fifty shades of red but jokingly muttered
“Well … - that’s lame.”
JAW ON FLOOR BUT THATS NOT ALL
At the end of the night we were in separate but adjacent rooms, putting things away and spraying everything. Fans are running, people are talking.
I finish up first and go next door to grab some stuff and of course, bother them.
Before I could even speak, they say in a satisfactory tone:
“I’ll have you know, I just sneezed and you missed it.”
When I tell you my brain was SKIPPING LIKE A RECORD. I short circuited. I couldn’t even tell you what happened, what I said, oh god what my FACE looked like.
Anyway. I will be thinking about that for the rest of my life.
Honestly I still can’t even fucking believe it.
