love a good forehead fever check as much as the next gal but like we’re sleeping on so much fever checking potential here
- overly warm hands, palms just beginning to sweat
- a rapid pulse throbbing under glistening skin
- feeling the warmth radiating off of whumpee through a thin t-shirt
- even better, cool hands against the overheated skin of a bare, aching back
- grabbing whumpee’s forearm and finding the unnatural heat there
- a loved whumpee’s legs resting across caretaker’s lap, limbs hot on their thighs
- the top of a head, hair damp and scalp burning when caretaker rests their chin on whumpee’s head
- the back of a flushed neck, cupped tenderly in a hand
- overheated thighs, maybe gripped through loose sweatpants or mostly bare because whumpee felt too hot for anything but shorts
- squeezing a shoulder comfortingly and discovering the warmth there
feel free to add on!
