It was a rainstormy day in Jollywood, Bashful looked out the window, it's pane filled with overflowing raindrops

He remembered a while ago.. He and Sneezy were sprinting to the cottage from the forest, trying to avoid the rain which already set itself on them, Sneezy entered inside shivering, he felt hot and catched a cold while Bashful was okay, he didn't catch a fever but he just shivered at the cold touch of the rain...

Currently, the rainstorm hadn't left yet, Bashful's thoughts were interrupted by a sound from the stove, the canned chicken soup which he heated on a stockpot was ready to be served, he wore kitchen mits and took the stockpot from the stove, he turned off the stove and pour some soup into a bowl, he poured a glass of water and placed both in a tray

To whom will he give it? No other than to Sneezy of course, he volunteered to take care of him because of two reasons: 1. He's his friend and 2. He dragged Sneezy to the forest in the first place.

He went upstairs and twisted the doorknob, opening the door a bit, just enough for him to see the whole room, he saw Sneezy blowing his nose on a tissue, then throwing it to a nearby trashcan filled with a mountain of used tissues, Bashful smiled and went inside to Sneezy's bed

"Hi Sneezy.." He greeted softly, Sneezy looked at him with a slight sick smile "Hey Bash!" He greeted back, Bashful placed the tray on a nearby table "So.. How're you feeling?" Bashful asked as he sat on the bottom part of the bed "I'm feeling alright... I still have a cold though.." Sneezy sat up and moved next to Bashful

"Sorry about that." Bashful guiltily apologized, Sneezy gave him a soothing look "Don't blame yourself for it.. It was the rainstorm's fault!" Sneezy chuckled a bit, Bashful gave him a shy smile "Anyways I uh.. brought you some chicken soup and a glass of water" Bashful said and pointed at the tray

Sneezy smiled at how caring his shy friend is "Thanks a lot Bash.. But you know you shouldn't have... You don't need to worry about me" Sneezy stared at the ground with a shy smile "But I insist! And you've done a lot for me already, Also, I would still do this for you since we're.. You know, friends!" Bashful insisted, Sneezy smiled at him "Heh.. I guess you're right.. Friends are meant to help each other" Sneezy chuckled and they both exchanged smiles

Suddenly.. making Bashful squeak in fright and hid behind Sneezy, Sneezy looked at his shy friend who was shaking, he snickered silently at how he looked cute with he's scared "It's alright Bash, The thunder's gone.." Sneezy comforted, Bashful slowly moved away with a slight blush

"I-I know that.." Bashful pouted at Sneezy laughed

and it shocked Bashful, he shrieked louder and hugged Sneezy, he cried in fear and shivered with clinging to his friend, a small pink blush dusted into Sneezy's face, he felt sorry for the shivering dwarf, the way how he looked frightened would make you cry, he patted his back to tell him that everything's okay

"Uhm... B-Bash?" Sneezy stuttered, Bashful instantly pulled away, a small blush surrounded his cheeks with embarrassment "I-I'm so sorry Sneezy.. I just get scared whenever there's thunder..." Bashful apologized "It's okay Bashful.. Your hug made me feel better and... You really look cute when you're scared..." Sneezy said and wore a full blush on his face

Bashful's blush grew and he looked at Sneezy "D-did you call me... C-cu-cute??" Bashful asked in shock, Sneezy mentally face palmed himself "I-i'm sorry B-Bash I--" Sneezy started to apologize but Bashful cutted him off "U-um... Thanks.." Bashful looked away and smiled shyly, Sneezy smiled a little and looked at Bashful

"N-no problem.." He chuckled
