Hello Sunshine

A snz ficlet with my OC Dahlia. Enjoy! It’s my first one so..don’t expect anything too great. Im trying my best, I swear.

Short, around 700 words.

Another day at the theatre. Dahlia was alone on the stage, hammering together wood. This set was nearly done. She ran her fingers through her dark hair, and sniffed lightly. It was dark inside the theatre, barely any light. A single beam shone through the nearly closed door. This job was so tedious, she—

Ow!

Dahlia winced as she banged the hammer onto her finger. She shook her hand into the air, as if somehow that would alleviate the pain.

This was so frustrating, and she was so incredibly sick of working on this set. For about a week now, she’d come into the theatre and worked on the set pieces. It didn’t help no one ever bothered to clean the stage until show day. It was coated with a layer of dust and lint.

Suddenly, the door swung fully open. A tall man with light brown hair walked onto the stage. It was her friend Leo. “Hey.” He smiled crookedly.

“Hello.” Dahlia replied with her back turned, too entranced with her work. “I brought you a sandwich.” He placed a brown paper bag next to her.

“What’s in it?” “Peanut butter. I’m gonna be outside waiting. You’re almost done, right?”

“Mhm. Thank you.”

Leo hopped off the stage and exited the building. Dahlia continued working. She subconsciously scrubbed at her nose. After a minute, she found herself bringing her hand back up to her nose and rubbed it furiously. It was at this moment she realized her nose itched. In fact, she felt tears forming in her eyes. It itched badly. She paused her work to stare into space, wondering if this itch would ever turn into a sneeze.

“hH..hih—” She hitched softly, but the itch retreated at the last second. It was..dusty in here, and now her nose was on high alert. Ugh. This was annoying, but was to be expected. The dust always got to her, no matter what. “hH!” Her breath snagged in the middle of her thoughts. “Hih! hah! hh..ah? Shihht.” She groaned at the shyness of her sneeze.

She could feel the dust circulating in the room, and the more time she stayed in the theatre, the sooner she would become an irritated disaster. Dahlia stood up to admire her handiwork and scrubbed at her nose vigorously. She examined the set pieces and concluded that they could use a paint touch up.

Dahlia went to the back, sniffling and scrunching her nose. She felt it was red by now, and it was. She opened a paint can and felt the tickle in her nose surge into a powerful burning sensation.

“HAah!” She hitched involuntarily. The scent of the paint could make her nose itch, but now her nose was practically burning in fury. That dust must have made her extra sensitive because..wow.

She had never had to sneeze this badly, and still hadn’t sneezed. It was refusing to come out. “Hih! Ehh! Hehh.. Ugh!” It felt like there were bees in her nose, buzzing angrily and impatiently.

Dahlia sighed and put a finger under her freckled, red nose. She brought the paint out to the stage and touched up her paint job.

The mixture of a fresh coat of paint and dust was irritating beyond belief. “Cohhh…Come out alrehh—already!” Dahlia exclaimed.

Okay. She was finished, finally she could leave this hellhole of allergic misery. Dahlia put away the set and walked out the building, hitching all the way.

“Ah…HeH! Hhh..ehh!”

Finally, she swung the door open. Oh.

2 hours spent in a dark theatre, now she was outside in broad daylight. She had forgetten how easily light could make her sneeze.

“HHhH!”

“Hey Dahlia!..You good?” Leo said as he greeted her. Her eyes widened in shock at the sudden light. She gasped loudly.

“Eh! Hih! HAA—H’RASCHOO!” Dahlia erupted with the loudest, strongest sneeze of her life.

“Oh jeez, what happened?” Leo asked, surprised.

“I..huh..the paint wahh..wAS’HRESCHOO! ‘ISHHIEW! Eh..EHH! EKSCIEW! Snff!”

“Uh. You okay?” Leo tapped her shoulder. “Yeah. I’m ohh..okay. Dust..paint..” Dahlia panted.

“Let’s get you home. You’re a mess.” Leo smiled faintly. “Thahh..H’RSChOO! Thangks.”

sneeze is such a vulnerable, simple act. it’s quite wholesome in a way, the blessings that follow. imagine a group of friends in a room. someone’s nose begins to itch, they flare their nostrils instinctively. they let out a few shallow breaths, until they let out a single vocal “hIH!” Eyes flicker towards them, but the sneezer is too bleary eyed to notice. The air is still, the silence is loud. It’s as if the room was paused in time. Then, finally their nose creases and their nostrils twitch and their eyebrows knit together.

everyone else is focused on the sneezy person. “aAh..CHIEW!” The person’s eyes flutter open quickly and they sniff. “Bless you!” They hear their friends say. A moment of solidarity, no matter what anyone is doing, they bless the sneezer. And after that, everybody resumes their current activities. Just a nice, sincere moment that occured randomly. And it brings them just a little closer together.
