“A-A-A-Achoo!” Red sneezed loudly. Lance looked up from his magazine with a fond smile.

“You know, if you’d taken your shots like everyone else last week, you wouldn’t be having this problem right now.”

Red dabbed at his watering eyes with a handkerchief. “It’s not fair.” He wailed. “I’ve never been allergic to Venus before. Why am I that way now?”

“Because the abundance of pollen around Indigo Plateau tends to bring out the worst in people’s immune systems.” The Dragon Master sighed. “I’ll go get the antihistamines, shall I?”

“Thank you.” Red sniffled.

Lance returned a moment later, with a box of chewable cherry-flavored tablets and a glass of lemonade. Red grinned and thanked him, swallowing two of the pills at a gulp.

Lance waited a moment, before he leaned forwards and kissed Red. Red briefly wondered why his boyfriend was being so forward today, but eagerly responded, only to pull away in shock as he felt a prick in his shoulder.

“Lance, what are you-?”

The Dragon Master smirked, the syringe vanishing back into his sleeve. “No need to fret about allergies now, Red.”

“… You know I hate shots.” Red muttered, but there was less heat in it.

“Yes, I know. Now let me kiss you again so the pain won’t bother you, k?”

Red complied rather quickly with that request.
