"Qui� supposed to be resting," Obi-Wan managed to get out between nuzzles. "Not� doing, oh� that, oh gods�" An especially ticklish, wet sniffle made Obi-Wan groan aloud and finally open his eyes.
On a normal morning, Qui-Gon rose before Obi-Wan and it was not unusual for Obi-Wan to find him awake and showered at this time. But that was on a normal morning. Not one where he had woken up in the throes of a head cold. Leaning up on one elbow, Obi-Wan scrubbed his eyes and gave Qui-Gon a look. A little tired looking, his face was pale. Except for his nose, which was a flushed pink, almost red, and seemed to be giving Qui-Gon a hard time as he spent a few seconds alternating between rubbing it and sniffling wetly. Obi-Wan flopped back against the bed with another groan as Qui-Gon rubbed his nose into Obi-Wan's shoulder.
"I couldn't sleep anymore," he started to explain, "I was too stuffy, then my nose got itchy�" Another nose rub to prove it still itched. "Hmm?"
"Oh�" Obi-Wan sighed. He moved in closer to Qui-Gon and stretched himself out with a yawn. "And the nuzzling?"
"I was lonely. I knew you wouldn't mind waking up to that."
Obi-Wan sighed again. Waking up to a nuzzling on a normal morning was wonderful enough. Waking up to one when Qui-Gon had the sniffles and sneezes was � Obi-Wan sighed for a third time and opened his arms.
The nuzzling started at his shoulder again with a pleased sound. Qui-Gon snuffled softly and made his way to the hollow of Obi-Wan's throat. There he just nuzzled the tip of his nose. Tiny, delicate strokes and tiny, delicate sniffles that became more urgent after Qui-Gon made a quiet, congested sound. He rubbed his nose into Obi-Wan's neck and snuffled though his stuffy nose. When Obi-Wan pressed into the touch, he pressed the tip of his nose more firmly to Obi-Wan's neck and snuffled again. Slowly, Qui-Gon rubbed his nose back and forth, still pressed close, then drew back just as slowly.
Obi-Wan made a tiny, quiet sound of encouragement when Qui-Gon hesitated. The soft, hitching breath he took tickled over Obi-Wan's skin, bringing another smile to Obi-Wan's lips.
"Heh... eheheh�. ehhh--- eh! Ih-tCHOO!" Qui-Gon's head fell forward as he sneezed. He pulled it back up again to allow Obi-Wan a view of his ticklish, pink nostrils as they flared in preparation for another. "Heh...tch'HOO! IhhTSCHOO!" Qui-Gon sniffled wetly and nuzzled his nose into Obi-Wan's neck. "Itchy nose," he muttered.
The sneezes had sounded itchy, too, as if they had tickled Qui-Gon's nose until he could no longer bear it and had to sneeze them out as forcefully as possible. Obi-Wan could almost see him trying to work the tickle in his nose into a sneeze by the expression on his face. The action set up a warm, ticklish feeling inside him and Obi-Wan sighed softly at the renewed nuzzling. "Bless you."
"Mmm�" Qui-Gon sniffled damply. He buried his face in Obi-Wan's neck just as he gasped sharply and muffled a sudden "YeisshhSHhuh!" Another set of sniffly, tickly breaths has Qui-Gon rubbing his nose against Obi-Wan. "Heh� hih! hi-ih-ih-YISHHihh!"
"Bless you!"
"Excuse me, sorry." Qui-Gon sniffled hard. "I've got such an itch in my nose� keeps making me snee� sneeeehhh... ehhISHH! EiiishhISHH! IhhTSCHOO! oh, ahh� oh," Qui-Gon sighed with relief. "Sneeze."
"Blessings!" Obi-Wan nuzzled himself against Qui-Gon, holding him tightly. The sneezes had made the warmth inside Obi-Wan swell, the closeness of his lover only serving to encourage it. "All right, love?"
"Fine. Itchy and sniffly," Qui-Gon replied, nuzzling and sniffling over Obi-Wan's ear. The little wet sniffles traced their way around the curve of Obi-Wan's ear, teasing and tickling and making Qui-Gon sniffle even more.
A shiver ran through Obi-Wan at the touch. He wanted to pull Qui-Gon even closer to him so he could feel the nuzzling better, but he ended up pulling away when Qui-Gon groaned softly. "You don't have to� if you don't feel good, Qui."
"Nuzzling you makes me feel good," Qui-Gon said, slipping in close once more, "being close to you makes me feel good," he brushed his nose over Obi-Wan's ear with a wet sniffle, "feeling you shiver like that feels good."
"I can't help�" Obi-Wan shivered again as soft, damp breaths teased his ear.
"Don't� I didn't wake you up for you to stay still, Obi-Wan."
Not that he could remain still. Qui-Gon's nostrils twitched against Obi-Wan's neck as he sniffled and nuzzled a path from his ear to Obi-Wan's collarbone. His nose moved over Obi-Wan's skin with wet, tickling breaths. The sniffly sounds became more congested after Qui-Gon pressed his nose to Obi-Wan. Snuffling, he rubbed his nose back and forth until a damp, strong "uhhffffch'HOOO!" burst out despite Qui-Gon's attempts to muffle the sneeze into Obi-Wan's neck.
"Bless," Obi-Wan muttered and brought an arm up to hug Qui-Gon close.
"S-sorry� I� Uhh�CHOO! ehCHOO! heee-ihh�ITCHOO! oh," Qui-Gon sighed, "I really needed to sneeze. That felt good." He cuddled back in close to Obi-Wan, covering his neck with sniffly little nuzzles. Each time Obi-Wan writhed under him, Qui-Gon would press in even closer, pausing his nuzzling to kiss Obi-Wan. The kisses were light, flitting over Obi-Wan's neck and ear. Qui-Gon brushed his lips over the places that made Obi-Wan shiver, tickling the juncture between Obi-Wan's shoulder and neck with kisses. He sniffled once, then again, and a third time, very wetly, as he kissed Obi-Wan.
When the wet sniffles became more frequent than the kisses, Obi-Wan arched up to rub himself against Qui-Gon. Qui-Gon rubbed his nose over the same spot over and over, still sniffling and snuffling and giving tiny kisses. Although constant, the sensation was light and teasing. Obi-Wan shivered as Qui-Gon's teased at a sensitive area, then sighed when Qui-Gon rubbed his nostrils there with a snuffling nuzzle.
"Does that tickle, love?" Qui-Gon rested his hand on Obi-Wan's stomach and stroked warmly.
Obi-Wan nodded in reply, as the breath caught in his throat before he could say a word. Gentle fingertips worked their way down his stomach. Qui-Gon petted him as he shivered again, soothing him before moving his fingertips lower.
"It tickles me," Qui-Gon murmured, "makes my nose feel itchy and sneezy." The fingertips on Obi-Wan's thigh petted more slowly, then stopped. Qui-Gon buried his face in Obi-Wan's neck, hugged himself more tightly to Obi-Wan and inhaled shakily. "heh� eh-eh-ihhh�ihCHff! ChiFF!! HutCHshff!" Three quick, strong, stifled sneezes shook his body. "Pardod be, felt very sdeezy�"
"Bless you," Obi-Wan managed to get out, though his breath still felt caught in his throat and his lips had gone dry. The sneezes had filled Qui-Gon's nose and made his words and sniffles stuffy. "Feel better?"
"Mmmb�." Qui-Gon stilled next to Obi-Wan. He sniffed thickly. "Cad feel adother� tih�hih! tick-ticklig�."
Obi-Wan held Qui-Gon close as his breath trembled with little pre-sneeze gasps punctuated with congested sniffs. Suddenly, the sniffs stopped and Qui-Gon lifted his head from Obi-Wan's neck.
"huh� hurRufff-CHOOOhhah!" Qui-Gon drew out the release and made the sneeze into a huge, loud explosion. "Ahh, ohh�. ah." A sigh of relief brought a smile to Qui-Gon's face and he rubbed his nose against Obi-Wan's shoulder. "Excuse me."
Obi-Wan was not sure if it was the thunderous sneeze itself, or the way Qui-Gon's nostrils twitched and eyelids fluttered before the sneeze, or how his nose turned pink and he breathed through slightly parted lips after the sneeze. Not that it mattered, for when Qui-Gon's hand cupped over his erection, Obi-Wan could not think of anything else besides the heat that was inside him. It built as Qui-Gon's fingers tickled his balls and stroked up and down the length of his erection. The touch became more firm and Obi-Wan thrust into it, shuddering when a chain of wet sniffles sent a rush of hot arousal through his body. He came quickly thereafter, thrusting up into Qui-Gon's hand and shuddering a final time at the force of his orgasm.
Blinking, Obi-Wan looked up as soft kisses pressed to his lips. He kissed Qui-Gon back and nuzzled his own nose over his lover's. "Love," he murmured, "thank you."
"You're welcome, my Obi." Qui-Gon smiled. He gave Obi-Wan a small nuzzle before turning to blow his nose. "I'm very lucky you don't mind being nuzzled awake," he said and hugged Obi-Wan.
