"Oh, dearest. What happened?"
Finn walked into the room, concern clear on his face, to see your arms and face covered in a red rash.
"It's alright" You smiled, appreciating that the blond was worried about you. "It's just an allergic reaction, I'll be fine in a few days"
Finn stopped in his tracks, anxious about getting too close to you. "It ..." His ears lowered and his face fell. "It's not my fur ... is it?"
You approached the blond then hugged him tightly. "No, it's not you. I promise"
Finn sighed, the relief clear on his face as he hugged you back. "Thank goodness. I couldn't bear it if I was causing you pain"
"Aww" You kissed the blond, then rubbed his back. "If it was your fur, I'd put up with it. A rash would be a small price to pay to be with you"
The bunny smiled. "That's sweet of you to say, dearest, but I'm glad that's not the case" He kissed your forehead. "Can I do anything for you?"
"You're already helping by distracting me from scratching"
Finn chuckled. "I'm glad I can make myself useful"
"You're always useful" You kissed the blond, then the two of you let go of each other.
"Come and sit with me, Bunny. Keep distracting me" You giggled and took Finn's hand in yours.
The blond nodded then let you lead him to the couch, where the two of you sat down next to each other.
You cuddled up to Finn's side and he placed an arm around you.
The two of you sat for a while, chatting about nothing in particular, until the bunny noticed you scratching your arm.
"No scratching, dearest"
"But I'm itchy ..." You whined as you continued.
Finn took your hands in his and laced your fingers together. "Now you have to stop" He smiled cheekily.
"You can't hold my hands forever" You smirked.
"That's true ..." Finn cocked his head as he thought for a moment, smiling smugly when he got an idea.
"That face has me worried" You giggled.
The blond chuckled. "You should be. I've thought of the perfect thing to make you stop"
"Oh have you now?"
"I have" Finn looked proud of himself. "If you keep scratching, you're not allowed to pet my tail"
You let go of the bunny's hands and blinked at him, wondering for a second if you'd heard him correctly. "Wh-What?! That's mean!"
"It's for your own good" The blond smirked.
You opened your mouth to reply, but then just frowned as you realised Finn may have a point. It was for the best if you stopped scratching, and an incentive might help. You grabbed onto the front of his shirt, watching your hands move as you played with the fabric and thought for a moment.
The blond's smirk turned into a soft smile as he watched you thinking.
"You wouldn't really ban me from petting your tail though, would you?" You pouted as you looked up at Finn again.
"If that's what it takes to get you to stop scratching, I will. You'll do permanent damage to your skin if you keep going"
"... I know, but I can't help it ... It just gets so itchy ..." Your hold on the blond's shirt loosened as you thought about scratching your arm again.
Finn looked sympathetic. "I understand, dearest ... and that's why I think you need encouragement to quit, and I have to set this rule"
"Oh, Bunny, no ..." You whined as you pulled at Finn's shirt.
"I'm sorry, but I've made up my mind" The blond took your hands from his shirt. "No touching my tail until your rash is better and I know you've stopped scratching"
"But ..." You started to reach out to Finn, but then changed your mind and dropped your hands to your sides.
The blond crossed his arms over his chest, but the sympathetic look was back on his face. "My decision is final"
-
Three days later, you smiled as you approached Finn, who was sitting on the couch. "I did it, Bunny"
The blond looked up at you. "Did what, dearest?"
"I stopped scratching until my rash disappeared" You held your arms out straight to show the bunny your healed skin.
Finn smiled cheekily. "No scratching the whole time?"
Your face was the picture of innocence. "Almost the whole time"
"Close enough" The bunny stood up, placed his arms around you and kissed your forehead. "I'm proud of you"
"Thank you" You couldn't help but smile. "Does that mean my tail petting privileges have been reinstated?"
Finn chuckled. "It does"
"Can I use them right now?" Your smile turned to a cheeky grin as you wrapped your arms around the blond's waist and settled your hands on his backside.
The bunny nodded and flicked his tail. "I think you've earnt it"
You didn't hesitate to run your fingers through Finn's fur, humming contentedly as you did so.
The blond smiled, loving how something as simple as petting his tail made you so happy.
The next few minutes were spent with the two of you standing in that spot, the bunny's tail flicking occasionally as you continued to caress it.
Once you'd had your fill, you gave Finn's backside a quick pat, then stepped back and smiled at him. "Thank you, Bunny. All I could think about the last few days was being able to touch that soft fur" You gave a little chuckle. "It really was good motivation"
Finn's smile changed to a smirk. "If it works so well, maybe I'll withhold tail privileges more often"
You gasped, then laughed as you gave the blond a playful shove. "Don't you dare"
