<weary but relieved>

Hey lovey. Phew, we're finally done putting away our haul.

God, my arms are sore from carrying so many things. You know how I insist on making no more than one trip for groceries. [laugh][tight hug]

True, it was a chaotic ordeal, but at least we're good for now. We should have enough supplies to last us maybe a few months.

Let's see, we stocked up on all the essentials. Frozen food and veggies, oatmeal and beans. Some fresh food too, just in case things look up.

Plus protein powder, handkerchiefs, rubbing alcohol, vitamins, fever and flu medicine, soap, mouthwash, pads. And sexy time stuff too: lube and condoms. [giggle]

Oh god, yeah, those lines were awfully long, it was truly wild. I don't think we've ever seen anything like that in our whole lives. And people kept buying more and more toilet paper! [laugh]

I seriously don't understand. We can just use our bidet or even shower head. And if the shit hits the fan, they can't eat or drink toilet paper. It's barely a thing people can barter.

But I do get that people are just trying to find a sense of control, and maybe some find it through stockpiling toilet paper. What can you do?

Well I'm really happy we managed to buy everything we need for a while.

Alright sweetie, come here. I want to sincerely thank you. [tight hug]

<serious and analytical>

You know, I'm really glad you sent me those articles by public health experts and suggested we start self-quarantine. You're completely right.

Now we are doing our part with social distancing to help flatten the curve. And staying away from our older parents.

Yeah for sure, we can still check up on them through the phone. Or video chat, if they can finally figure it out. [laugh]

Alright, so I read the articles and more literature from medical professionals and officials about how to properly self-quarantine.

So what do you think about these proposed guidelines?

Every day, we'll wipe down our phones with rubbing alcohol. And our glasses too, both can be so dirty. [laugh]

We'll wash our hands for at least 30 seconds before and after eating, face washing, or doing sexy stuff. Or at least sanitize them.

And we need to drastically cut down on the face touching. Ideally eliminate it. Yeah I know it's a sweet thing we like to do while cuddling.

But we actually need to stop doing that. Because pathogens can easily enter the body through the face, right.

Let's be vigilant and remind each other. If you see me touching my face, then please call me out.

Yeah, sometimes the oldest, sneakiest habits are the most difficult to break.

And we should probably try to cut back on the kissing a bit too, as it transmits germs, just in case.

But on the bright side, after the pandemic is over, we can catch up on all the cute face touching and kissing, to our heart's content. [laugh]

And we're both quite privileged to be able to work from home. We can setup mini home offices and take breaks together, keep each other fresh.

And after the workday is over, we can hang out with our friends on Discord and play Jackbox and sing karoake and feel a bit less lonely.

You know, we'll finally have enough time to be pure homebodies and catch up on all the movies and shows on our watchlist.

Of course we'll have plenty of time for tender, magical lovemaking, even without much kissing and face touching.

You know I'm available for sweet reassuring aftercare and cuddles anytime.

Quarantine together could almost be like a forced romantic staycation. [laugh] Let's think positive, right.

[deep kiss][tight hug]

Aw, you're hugging me so tightly. Not that I mind, but you seem like you're trying to squeeze my bones. [giggle]

Hey honey, is everything alright? [pause]

<calm and comforting>

Yeah love, I know, I understand. The coronavirus pandemic is scary. It really is serious.

Look, I'm not going to lie, I'm fucking scared too.

I know I'm not supposed to just, break down and show you how worried I am. But here we are.

I know with each passing day, it seems the news and the number of cases get worse.

You know I'm always open and honest with you especially. I'm really afraid too. Exponential growth scares me shitless.

But we're not going to let that fear hurt us, not one bit. Remember, we're not panicked, we're prepared. And we have a solid plan of action.

We just need to hunker down and wait it out for a bit, until easy virus testing becomes widely available and containment starts to decrease the number of cases. Let's stay hopeful it will definitely happen in due time.

Look, even if god forbid, it does evolve into the end of the world, we'll be in it together. But it won't, I promise.

Because we're being proactive and responsible, and as long as other people do too, things will be back to normal soon. [tight hug]

<slightly teary and poignant>

God, there's nobody else in the world I'd rather be in quarantine with than you.

We are always each other's rock in the worst of times. [somber sigh]

You're the love of my whole life, you know. And you chose me to be your soulmate. [tight hug]

How did I find such an amazing life partner like you? How did I ever get so lucky?

You're beautiful, bright, caring, and kind, just a perfect cinnamon roll. [giggle]

[brief improv pillow talk featuring sweet reassurance and appreciation]

Hey listen, we and our loved ones will get through and survive this together, I promise.

I love you so much. I'm here for you, always. [deep kiss][tight hug]
