"Mmm mmm..." "If you wanna get better, ya have to work with me here and have some soup." In the dimly lit bedroom lied a sick Forgetful, stubbornly turned her head away from the warm meal offered by Kobe at every angle. "Don't be gwumpy." Kobe cooed. "I no want it," she huffed. "I refuse to eat chicken soup, I told you. It sounds nasty and bleh and I no want it!" "...it's carrot soup, ya goof." "Mmph......okies." Forgetful pouts as she is fed her healthy serving. "There we go, boo. Is that good?" "It's nummy." she mumbled, crossing her arms. "Heh, what was that? I couldn't hear ya." "It's nummy, silly." "Thank you. Only the best for my baby lady, even when she's gwumpy." "I'm not gwumpy, I just seepy." "I know, sweetheart. I'll let you rest once you finish eating." "Okies. Thankies for taking care of me, cutie. Love you." "Love you too. It's no prob...n-no......Ah-CHOO!!!" The room went silent as Kobe's sneeze echoed throughout the house. "Ah, dang." he winced, wiping his face. "Hee, don't be so glum, chum." Forgetful giggled. "Why not?" The giddy pegasus scooted to the other side of the bed, holding out her hooves warmly. "I could use some cuddles right now." she squeed. "Now packed with a healthy dose of vitamin K." "Girl, you need some Osmosis Jones in your life." Kobe pouted playfully. "You know you want tooooooo..." "Hmph, maybe I do, maybe I don't." "Come ooooooon, we can share the nummy soup." "Well...it is nummy. I made it after all." "Using my ingredients, dork." Forgetful leaned over and guided her hesitant hooman into her arms on the cozy mattress, nuzzling his cheek with a happy sigh as he bundles up beside her, nummy soup in hand. "My cuddly bear." she cooed, crawling over and taking a silver spoon out the drawer next to the bed. "Lovebug?" "Yes, cutie booty?" "Why do you have a spoon in the drawer?" "T-Totally not for late-night snacking if that's what you're thinking. T-There is no way I eat cookie dough raw with no concern for my health and bod whatsoever!" "Hon......why are you so loveable?" "Because I'm adorkable!" "Eeyup." "Now shut those lips and start slurpin', we got some snugglin' to do afterwards!" "Yes, ma'am." The two cuddled close, enjoying the coziness of their healing meal. And each other.
