In the afternoon of a cold November day, an certain beaver looked out from his window, watching the snow fall alongside the window pane. Scrunching his nose, he let out a loud sneeze and groaned furiously. '

Handy laid his head down on one of the pillows on his bed. He looked down at his once pink nose; it was now a tinted shade of red.

Turns out, Handy had caught an obnoxious cold and called in sick after helping Lumpy fix his trailer in the middle of the crude weather.

Looking down at his nubs, he did his "angry face" and huffed. It was hard enough that he had no paws to wipe the boogers out of his nose.

His train of thoughts filled with things that could be way worse than his cold was interrupted by his door opening.

Entering was his girlfriend, Petunia. She decided to come over to his aid after hearing about how he called sick.

"You'll feel better soon, I just know it." The skunk said with a dainty smile. Her voice was slightly muffled from the doctor's mask over her mouth. She only wore it due to her OCD.

What made Handy blush a bright shade of red was that fact that she was wearing a short white dress with longs shoulder straps and a pair of yellow latex gloves, making her look like a real nurse. He got a little nervous when he noticed the small white box she carried.

Sitting upright on the bed, Handy could see that Petunia was sitting on her knees and a short distance front of him. The skunk opened up the small box and it reveled some medical equipment like a thermometer, a box of Band-Aids, and some needles.

Handy really hated needles to be real honest. Looking away so he wouldn't see the needles, he tried hard not to shudder in front of his girlfriend.

Petunia grabbed a long stethoscope and placed the ear tips gently inside of her ears.

"Now, this may a bit cold." She told Handy as he looked back. He must have not heard what she said because he was busy thinking about the needles.

Handy looked down to watch Petunia's paw lay the bell (the big round part) of her stethoscope against his chest.

The moment he felt it press on his soft fur, his face was glazed with a red and orange mixture.

His pupils nearly dilated as his body felt frozen in place. His heartbeat made the stethoscope's bell do a short ripple over his fur with every increasing pulse. Handy could feel his heart beating a lot more louder on the inside of his eardrums.

It didn't take long for his heart to skip a few beats as he looked back at Petunia. Her eyes beckoned him to spare a long gaze into them, making him swallow a hard lump down his throat.

Knowing that she can hear his heart pounding harder than the bass of a stereo system seemed to make the organ's pace quicken.

However, he didn't noticed how Petunia's eyes dilated.

She swore that her ears twitched when she pressed the stethoscope on him.

What he never knew was that Petunia had carried a secret interest in the beating heart.

She remembered the time that her own heart was launched on a spring in her bed after finding a strange idol. That time, she nearly blushed when she struggled to put it back in her chest.

Feeling her lover's heart transmitted through her ears was making her blush as well.

It's rapid tempo felt like the chords of a beautiful music box and her fingers trembled for a while. Petunia's own flustered heart was thudding in her chest like the revving engine of a motorcycle. It acted like a pump for each shade of red it sent into her cheeks.

Blushing insanely and feeling his heart flutter crazily made the skunk feel flushed and completely anxious, until Handy turned his head away in embarrassment.

His cheeks were dark red and his tail flickered slowly.

"Handy? What's wrong?" Petunia asked as she removed the mask.

The more that Handy tried to figure out the next thing what to say to Petunia made his heart climb further up his throat.

She took the stethoscope off his chest as he began to speak. Handy had to take a couple deep breaths through his nose before his heartbeat calmed down to a much normal pace.

"It's nothing.." Handy finally said in a soft tone, just to be cut off when he felt two ear tips get placed in his ears.

He glanced at Petunia, who was blushing this time.

She mentally gulped as she slowly raised the bell of the stethoscope.

Her heart was already pumping rapidly after she placed it on her chest.

The first thing that filled Handy ears was the sound of Petunia's heart. It was beating much faster than Handy's heart from earlier, but just hearing every beat just made the beaver's blush match her own.

The skunk looked down as she gave a soft smile to herself.

Petunia gazed at Handy with a alluring smile and batted her eyes with her long lashes that made Handy's heart do a quick jump up his throat and back down his chest. A smile began to form on his lips at the same time.

Petunia gently took the ear tips out of his ears and leaned forward for a kiss. The sweet sensitivity of the kiss made her heart bounce up and down her throat.

Handy immedeatly kissed her back. She wrapped her arms around his waist as the kiss continued. After a long kiss, Handy laid back on his pillows with Petunia snuggling next to him.

She wrapped some of the gauze on his nubs around her paws, making it look as if they were holding each other. The blue skunk rested her head on Handy's chest, where she heard her lover's heartbeat in her ears. It sounded louder than through the stethoscope, making her shudder a little from the loud beat.

"I love you, my little heartthrob." she giggled, flickering her tail.

"Me too, doc." Handy replied and kissed her forehead. The two held each other close as Petunia began to fall asleep to the sound of his heart.

Boy, do I love sick days, Handy thought to himself.

It was totally worth it the next morning when Petunia woke him up with a kiss
