It had been hours since Heather had fallen asleep after eating her soup and drinking her tea,  and soon the day was turning into nighttime. Kevin was in his bed, drawing another picture of Heather and him. However, he was interrupted by someone shaking his shoulder. He closed the journal and looked on up to see a watery eye, Heather standing near his bed.

"Huh, Heather, what's up?" He asked with concern.

"Can I lay with you? It's so cold in my bed," Heather said, shaking and coughing slightly.

"Yeah, get on in. Don't worry about me getting sick," Kevin said, moving over so Heather could get in next to him.

"Hm," Heather hummed, getting on in the bed next to him and laying her head against his chest.

"Night," Kevin whispered, seeing Heather's eyes closing, and carefully wrapped his arms around her, seeing her shivering."You feel better soon," He said, stroking her hair before falling asleep.

As minutes passed, Heather and Kevin slept peacefully, breathing in and out. The only sound is soft breathing, and the wind blows outside the cabin.  Heather shifted slightly in her sleep as she moved closer to Kevin's chest, clenching his shirt as she took a sharp breath.

However, suddenly, after a few moments, a tickle sensation was felt inside of her nostrils snapping out of her dream world. She slightly opens her eyes to see her nose twitching slightly. She sniffed softly, trying to relieve the itch, but it continue to itch like she needed to sneeze. She looked to see Kevin sleeping peacefully close to her face and didn't want to bother him.

Heather carefully moved a hand up to her nose and rubbed underneath her nostrils with her forefinger, trying to relieve the itch. However, it didn't seem to be working.  She could feel her nostrils flaring up as she rubbed it.  She clenched her jaw as her breath attempted to hitch but held it in.

Heather looked around to see the rest of the guys sleeping in bed as well and internally sighed at the fact it was the middle of the night, and yet, once again, her nostrils had to disturb her sleep.  It was like just thinking about it; her nostrils tickled more as it made its way deeper into them, and her nostrils flared up a bit wider due to the growing tickle.

"Aah..."Heather inhaled as her breath hitched and tilted her head back as the gasp slipped through her clenched jaw.

The inhale was quiet but still audible. She sighed in relief, seeing Kevin didn't stir once. She gently continued to keep her for dinner pressed against her nostrils, rubbing it to settle down her nose, but instead, it felt like it was getting worse as her breath hitched some more. "Haaah...Aaah... "

'Come on the nose, your not going to sneeze.' Heather thought, glaring down at her twitching nose as her nostrils.  She scrunched her nose to the left to get the tickle to fade away.

"Heh.Haaahh..."Heather tilted her head back again, rubbing her nose some more as she sat up in bed, rubbing her nose.

'You can do it.  Just go back to sleep.' She thought, closing her eyes and getting ready to lie back down.

However, before she could, her nose started twitching rapidly, and her nostrils flared up wide, making her eyes widen, and she quickly got up from the bed.

'Stop, don't sneeze.' Heather thought, walking out of the cabin. She paused in rubbing her nose for a second before rbbungnit with her hand as she walked over towards the beach, trying to calm her nostrils down,  but with no success; it felt like feathers were dancing in her nose.

"Heeeh...aaaahhh...Aaaaaahhh...Haaaaahhh...AaaaaaaAAAHH..." Heather inhaled, throwing her neck back, and her eyes widened at the sound and surprised nobody came out here, but her mind couldn't question that any longer due to the incoming sneeze. She pressed her hand against her nose, trying to hold it back, but she could feel her hand shaking as her nose twitched and flared up rapidly against it.

"Haaahhh...aaahhh...Aaaaahhh...Haaaaah...AaaaaAAAAAAHHHHHH..."

Still determined to hold it back, she pinched her nose shut with her hand. She sighed in relief, seeing the tickle was settling down slightly, and sat down against a tree near the beach, looking at the sky, still clamping her nose shut as she heard windy blowing making the leaves rustle.  It was beautiful, but it ruined the moment nose attacked her with revenge as she was hit with an unbearable tickle as her nose twitched, and her nostrils flared up as wide as possible, and she removed her hand, knowing she couldn't stop it any longer.  She was going to sneeze no matter what. She had to sneeze so badly as her eyes started watering.

'I have to sneeze my eyes can't take anymore of this torture.' Heather thought, feeling her eyes watering as the tickle surged in her nostrils, making her hand off her nose, unaware of footsteps coming her way.

"Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh...Heeeeeeeeeehhhhhhh...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH...." Heather inhaled as she tilted her neck, bringing her up to her face only for it to fall back down as she inhaled loudly. "HaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...!

Kevin arrived at the beach, having spoken up to Heather, getting out of bed, and setting off to find her.  He then spots her against the tree, her upper body far back as possible, her mouth gap and eyes shut tightly. The next moment that, when her nose finally exploded.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!"

Heather shot her body forward as she released a massive sneeze firing a blast of yellow mucus out of her nostrils.  It was loud enough to echo through the tree and powerful enough to shake the ground blowing a cloud of sand in the air and flying toward the water.  Kevin cringed at the sound of it and slowly walked over to Heather and tapped her shoulder, startling her before she could speak; she quickly turned around as her neck tilted back far as possible before she exploded again.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!"

She shot her body forward and released a triple set of massive sneezes without missing a beat, firing a stream of yellow mucus out of her nostrils.  Once again, loud enough to echo through the trees and powerful enough to shake the ground blowing a large number of cloud of sand in the air and flying toward the water and some on her nose.

"Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhh-choooooo!" Heather shot her head forward as she released a more petite and final sneeze from the sand hitting her nose.

"Goodness bless you," Kevin said, holding out a box of tissues.

"Ugh, thanks, "Heather replied with a groan taking a couple and tissues and blowing them wetly."I didn't mean to wake you up, " She said, wiping her runny nose.

"I heard you leave and wanted to see if you were okay," He said, touching her forehead."Your burning up looks like your fever spiked. Come on, let's get you back to bed," He said, holding out a hand.

Heather shook her head."I'm not done yet," She said, wiggling her nose as it still itched.

"Come on it, alright? You don't need to keep them at bay for me, " He said, smiling."I don't mind waking up and hearing you sneeze. If they get loud, the team just has to deal with it. After all, it is their fault you are ill."

"Really, you not going to be annoyed?" She said, grabbing his hand.

"I mean it now, come on, let's get your fever down and you back to sleep until you me better. You can count on me to take care of you," Kevin said, kissing her forehead softly as he picked her up, carrying her against his chest.

"Hey, don't do that," Heather said, punching his arm."You get sick next."

"It's okay. I rarely get sick, " Kevin replied, carrying her back to the cabin.

"Don't say I didn't warn you," Heather said as her eyes closed despite the persistent tickle in her nostrils.

"Sleep well soon. You be better, my sneezy ice queen," He said softly, putting her in bed as they reached the cabin and put the cloth back on her forehead, chuckling at her slightly twitching nose as she slept and climbed in beside her."Let them all out when you feel ne coming. You won't bother me," He said following sleep.

***

The following day Heather's fever had down but wasn't completely gone, and she was still coughing and sneezing frequently, driving most of the campers crazy except Jaden, who thought it was cute and continued to be a flirt. 

Kevin brought Heather some soup after giving her more medication soon as she woke up.

"Ugh, thanks," Heather groaned, sniffing wetly."This is great. You are a good cook."

"You're welcome," Kevin said, removing the cloth and feeling Hether's forehead."I always tried to help cook at the orphanage once I got older. Your fever is going down, but you still need rest and pretty of fluids. You be well enough to do the challenges in a few more days, but probably not a hundred percent. The coughs and sneezes will take time to stop entirely, but moving will be easier."

Heather sniffed and slowly began to shut her eyes, feeling a sneeze coming after he mentioned sneezes."I...Aah...I...Haah...Kno...Ahh..."She attempted to say as her breath hitched.

"Let it out," Kevin said, backing up.

Heather nodded as she tilted her neck back, placing her bowl down as her nose quivered and nostrils grew and shrank."Aaaah..."Her neck leaned back even more. "Haaaaaaaaaaaaahhh..."

There was a pause as the sneeze faded away, and her breath returned to normal. However, the itch wasn't gone from her nostrils. She sniffed sharply and rubbed her itching nose, and picked her bowl back up, drinking the broth.

"Stuck?" He questioned, sitting next to her on his bed.

"Yeah," She replied with a sigh as Kevin pulled her close to his chest, allowing her to rest her head on him as she slowly fell asleep.

"Aaaaaahhh...Haaaaahhh..."Heather tilted her neck back, feeling her sneeze coming back."Heeeeeeeeehhhhh..."

"Aaaaaaaah...Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh... "Heather tilted her head back as her nose twitched and nostrils flared up.  Her eyes squeezed shut as the tickle inside of her nostrils with ever-sharp inhale unbearable to withstand; the next second, her head was as throwback as possible, her nose shaking uncontrollably and nostrils flared large and wide that you could almost see inside of them then finally her nose blow like a volcano.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH-CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Heather shot her head forward as she released a powerful sneeze echoing them the cabin as it shook the bed, firing a string of mucus out her nostrils and onto Kevin's shirt.

"Bless you," Kevin said, laughing at his predicament and her blushing red face.

"Thanks," She sniffed, sucking up the string of snot, closing her eyes, and drifting back off to sleep to a soft tissue rubbing against her nose.

Kevin smiled and kissed Heather's forehead as she fell asleep, smiling, knowing she would get better with Kevin taking care of her like the knight he had always been since they met.

I hope you all enjoyed this side story.  If you want more in the future, let me know what you want it to be about.  And I will think about doing it as I continue working on rewriting their story.
